North Node in the 7th house

The north node is a point rather than a planet, and it indicates the direction of growth. In the 7th house that direction is other people: partnership, negotiation, and a willingness to need someone and be needed. Independence is usually the comfortable ground here, so the work is letting another person genuinely alter a plan. Compromise is not quite the goal; being changed by close contact is, and it takes longer than these people expect.
