This "pull" from the North Node is not necessarily comfortable, but we can feel empty and unfulfilled if it is not pursued in some fashion. Harrison's North Node, however, presented particular problems in relationship to his personal identity. With his Pisces Sun in the Fourth House, the pull towards creative self-expression in the public eye must have created significant psychological dissonance for Harrison. The Fourth House stands in direct opposition to the arena of life that the Tenth House symbolizes: home, private life, family, the primacy of the subjective life and inner world. Hence, the power of attraction to Harrison's "life task" stood in conflict with his ego's concerns. Much of the Beatles's experience was exhausting and confining and placed a terrible strain on Harrison. McCartney, on the other hand, with his Tenth House Sun, presumably felt much more comfortable in the spotlight of the public. In his autobiography, I. Me. Mine., Harrison states, "I don't go out to clubs and parties. I stay at home and watch the river flow". Staying at home (Fourth House) and watching the river flow (Pisces) appealed much more to Harrison as his life progressed and as time began to distance himself from the Beatles.
Pluto Square Moon
With Pluto square (or in ninety degree angular relationship to) his natal Moon, Harrison had an intense inner life and formed intimate bonds with significant others that were dramatic, deep, and transformative. One of the most notorious and powerful love triangles in rock history occurred between Harrison, his first wife, Patti Boyd, and Eric Clapton (who also had Pluto square Moon by birth). Positive and negative consequences occurred from this passionate threesome. Harrison's and Clapton's friendship actually strengthened over time as the dust settled from the affair, and the love triangle gave birth to one of the most enduring rock anthems ever, "Layla."
