Many Gemini north node people prefer to live in large cities or university towns.

They are also learning to see the world through a simple, common-sense perspective, using facts instead of endlessly philosophizing. They’ve seen the world, have diverse friends and lovers in every port, and now must learn to stay in one place! If your south node is in worldly Sagittarius, you’ve had lifetimes as a “Marco Polo” explorer type or a lofty, ivory tower scholar. The Gemini north node person’s challenge is putting down roots. Gemini north node people have the opposite dilemma. Cultivating the Sagittarius north node traits of honesty and big-picture perspective can help these people rise into their highest selves, shedding the karma of these past lives. Others can fall prey to master manipulators and guru figures, ending up as victims of deceit. (Many Gemini south node people admit to small acts of shoplifting or chronic fibbing as kids!) In this lifetime, they must watch a tendency to twist words or play with people’s minds. Some may even have been liars, petty thieves and con artists. In past lives, Gemini south nodes may have used their verbal prowess to manipulate others. These people need to push themselves to branch out and take risks, independent of their steady wingman. Gemini rules the hands and these south node people may be gifted with theirs, working as craftspeople, musicians, writers or hands-on healers. Gemini is the sign of the Twins, and Gemini south nodes are forever seeking a kindred spirit who “gets” them. ![]() You could even have a phobia of flying! Yet, when you embrace the wider world, you go through massive spiritual growth. Traveling (a Sagittarius-ruled pursuit) could make you nervous, especially when you’re younger.

The only conclusion that can be made at this time is that the role of herbal remedies in cervical ripening or labor induction is still uncertain. The risks and benefits of these agents are still unknown because the quality of evidence is based on a long tradition of use by a certain population 6 and anecdotal case reports. Red raspberry leaves are used to enhance uterine contractions once labor is initiated. Black cohosh has a similar mechanism of action, while blue cohosh may stimulate uterine contractions. Black haw, which has been described as having a uterine tonic effect, 6 has been used to prepare women for labor. Although evening primrose oil is the remedy most commonly used by midwives, 5 it is unclear whether this substance can ripen the cervix or induce labor. Commonly prescribed agents include evening primrose oil, black haw, black and blue cohosh, and red raspberry leaves. Given rapid growth in the herbal-supplement industry, it is not surprising that patients request information about alternative agents for labor induction. When the Bishop score is favorable, the preferred pharmacologic agent is oxytocin. Pharmacologic agents available for cervical ripening and labor induction include prostaglandins, misoprostol, mifepristone, and relaxin. Of these nonpharmacologic methods, only the mechanical and surgical methods have proven efficacy for cervical ripening or induction of labor. ![]() Nonpharmacologic approaches to cervical ripening and labor induction have included herbal compounds, castor oil, hot baths, enemas, sexual intercourse, breast stimulation, acupuncture, acupressure, transcutaneous nerve stimulation, and mechanical and surgical modalities. When the Bishop score is less than 6, it is recommended that a cervical ripening agent be used before labor induction. Assessment is accomplished by calculating a Bishop score. Therefore, cervical ripening or preparedness for induction should be assessed before a regimen is selected. In the absence of a ripe or favorable cervix, a successful vaginal birth is less likely. According to the most current studies, the rate varies from 9.5 to 33.7 percent of all pregnancies annually. Induction of labor is common in obstetric practice. |
