My north node along with Venus and Vesta are in Aries in the 6th house. I've had to learn how to create a unique identity since, in the past, I sublimated myself to the will others. I quit my good government job (6th house) and became an "independent" contractor. I've also had relationships with important Aries women or women with a strong eastern emphasis in their chart - my mother and several female friends whose role, I can see now, was to teach me how to be an individual and to set boundaries. Great article, thanks!
