Lunar Nodes: Astrology and Astral Chart

Knowing which sign and house the Lunar Nodes were on the date of your birth is an important event in Astrology. There are two Nodes: the North Node and the South Node, or the Dragon's Head and the Dragon's Tail, respectively, in Chinese Astrology. The North Node represents the path of life and the South Node's childhood or past lives habits. Nodes represent lessons that we have to learn and relate to how we relate to others.

North Node and South Node. What do they mean, and what distinguishes them?

The Nodes Moles are not physical bodies but placed imaginary points in space that mark the places where the paths of the Moon and the Sun intersect. The North Node represents the place where the moon crosses the ecliptic (projection on the celestial sphere of the apparent path of the Sun observed from the Earth) in the direction of the northern hemisphere. At the same time, the South Node is the point where the moon crosses the ecliptic en route to the southern hemisphere (see image below). The North and South Nodes are always directly opposite in the sky. They complete a full circle through the twelve signs every 18 years. Eclipses occur when the new moon and the full moon occur in conjunction with the Lunar Nodes. At that time, the Earth, the Sun, and the Moon are perfectly aligned and reflect a perfect shadow.

The Moon Dragon in Chinese Astrology

In Chinese Astrology, the Nodes of the Moon are represented by a dragon. The North Node corresponds to the head ( Dragon Head ) and the South Node to its tail ( Dragon Tail ). Seen in this way, the symbolism attributed to each of the Nodes is understood: the North is the point where the food is ingested; the one in the South is the point where the waste is expelled. In this way, the Head of the Dragon is understood by Astrology as the key to happiness. Identify the areas of most tremendous potential for growth in the life of each one of us. Therefore, our attention and care must focus on the North Node and the corresponding house sign (see table below) to move towards success and fulfillment.

What is the Influence of the Lunar Nodes in Karmic Astrology?

The Astrology Karmic or past lives are seeking answers to questions in this life past life experiences. Its goal is to help people understand their relationships, vocations, family life and help close cycles of negative behavior that prevent them from reaching their full potential. The symbology of the Lunar Nodes is particularly important in Karmic Astrology. Drawing on the past to understand the present, the South Node represents the legacy of the past. The North Node represents the potential and the path of evolution that the soul chose for life in the present. For Karmic Astrology, the great challenge is to help the person take everything they have learned in the past (South Node) and integrate that personal knowledge in the present (North Node). If You cannot find this balance, the soul is trapped in its anxieties and cannot evolve or find its way to self-realization. When the soul moves towards the North Node, the South Node eliminates everything that the soul has overcome. Harmony is restored, and a new point of balance is reached.

Lunar and Luminous Nodes (Sun and Moon). What relationship?

Nodes complete a retrograde cycle every 18-20 years. This milestone represents critical moments of change and can be marked by significant events in the lives of each one of us. As the moon travels around the Earth, it goes through all 12 signs in about 28 days. Stay in each sign for about two and a half days. To understand the Lunar Nodes, it is necessary to consider their position both at the level of the sign and of the house. For example, when in Leo, the moon favors or reinforces specific purposes and the personality characteristics associated with this sign. When you move to Virgo, the same thing happens, and so on, as you go through all the signs. In the birth chart, the position of the Lunar Nodes on the Sun or the moon suggests different levels of evolution of the soul and more or less laborious paths. When he:

• North Node is in the same sign as the Sun, highlighting the positive qualities of the sign;
• North Node is in the same sign as the moon. The positive qualities of the sign and its negative energies can delay the soul's evolution process;
• South Node is in the same sign as the Sun, the positive qualities of the sign and its negative energies can delay the process of soul evolution;
• South Node is in the same sign as the moon suggests difficulties to abandon the negative patterns of the past, which requires more effort from the soul to progress.
