The lunar nodes are the two points where the Moon’s orbital path crosses the ecliptic.The North Node, or ascending node, is when the Moon is moving from south to north across the ecliptic, and the South Node, or descending node, is when the Moon moves from north to south across the ecliptic.
It is important to note that these points are always directly opposite one another within the birthchart.
The Nodal Axis of a natal chart gives the ultimate keys of insight on where we are going and where we have been, and ultimately what will be the most fulfilling in this lifetime for us.
Some people will relate the South Node to ancestral patterning or even past lives. While the North Node is tied to themes of what we should strive towards in this life for ultimate growth.
The Nodes in transit are on an 18 month cycle moving backwards through the signs. As we officially wrap up a transformative cycle on the Fixed Taurus/ Scorpio Axis we enter into the Cardinal Signs of Aries/ Libra.
WHAT DO I LIKE? WHAT DO YOU LIKE? WHAT DO WE LIKE?
ME VS WE.
ARIES / LIBRA NODAL AXIS INQUIRY.
THE MOONS NODES REPRESENT WHAT WE ARE MOVING AWAY FROM AND WHAT WE ARE MOVING TOWARDS.
HOWEVER WE DO NOT GET TO THE THEMES OF THE NORTH NODE WITHOUT FIRST ENGAGING WITH THE SOUTH.
AS SOMEONE WITH A LIBRA STELLIUM MY LOVE LANGUAGE IS SOMETIMES SHOWING INTEREST IN MY PARTNERS INTERESTS.
LIBRA SOMETIMES SAYS: “I’LL LEARN ABOUT WHAT YOU LOVE, BECAUSE I LOVE YOU.”
I HAVE MY OWN INTERESTS. I’M NOT JUST A CARBON COPY OF MY LOVED ONES.
HOWEVER I CAN THINK OF FEW THINGS I’VE BEEN -MORE- INTERESTED IN BECAUSE MY LOVED ONES WERE.
WITH THE SOUTHNODE IN LIBRA IT IS BEGGING THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS:
WHAT LIKES OF OURS HAVE BEEN PUT ON THE BACK BURNER AS A STRANGE FORM OF A LOVE LETTER?
WHAT HAVE WE SACRIFICED IN OUR PERSONAL OR PROFESSIONAL LIVES IN THE NAME OF PEACE?
ARE THE SCALES EVER TRULY BALANCED?
WHEN IS DIPLOMACY ACTUALLY STEERING US AWAY FROM HAPPINESS?
MOVING OUT OF THE SOUTH NODE WE LOOK TO THE NORTH NODE. THE NORTH NODE REPRESENTS AN IDEAL. HOWEVER TO GET TO THE NORTH NODE WE MUST GO THROUGH THE SOUTH NODE.
IF LIBRA IS RULED BY VENUS, AND ARIES IS RULED BY MARS.
IN SHORT MARS IS ACTION, MARS IS DRIVE. VENUS REPRESENTS CONNECTION, AND LOVE.
WE DO NOT NEED TO MOVE AWAY FROM LOVE. WE ARE MOVING AWAY FROM THE SACRIFICING OF THE SELF TO KEEP THE PEACE OR TO PLEASE OTHERS.
WITH THE NORTH NODE IN ARIES THE THEME IS ACTION. ARIES HAS A TENDENCY TO BE IMPETUOUS. BUT MARS CAN PLAN ON THE GO WHEN HE NEEDS TO. THINK OF A SAILOR. NOT EVERYTHING ON THE SEAS CAN BE ACCOUNTED FOR.
NAVIGATING THESE WATERS REQUIRES LOOKING TO THE NODAL RULERS AND WHAT THEY ARE UP TOO.
IF MARS IS IN VIRGO (RULER OF NORTH NODE) AND LEO IS IN VENUS CURRENTLY (RULER OF SOUTH NODE) WE CAN TAKE HINTS OF WHAT TO RUN TOWARDS AS WELL AS AVOID.
MARS IN VIRGO WANTS TO ACCOMPLISH AND STRIVE TO PERFECT SOMETHING, MAKE ROUTINES THAT ALIGN WITH THOSE GOALS. AND TO DISCOVER WHAT IT IS WE ARE WE ACTIVELY IN SERVICE TO IN THE WORLD>
VENUS IN LEO IS EXTRAVAGANT AND BOLD. CAN WE STEP OUT OF THE LIME LIGHT FOR THE MOMENT TO BE IN SERVICE TO SOMETHING THAT ISN’T IN THE MIRROR OR ON THE STAGE
