Transits of nodes to planets

Transit of the North Node by the Sun: after some tension and stress at the initial stage, the person gets more recognition. This transit usually empowers, promotes elevation, personal success, and confidence. Important things have to do with a father or father figure; receiving help from these people and making a profit for them. During this period, useful contacts are made, new roads are opened. After the contact of the transit North Node with the Sun in a person, the manifestation of his individuality intensifies, and he gets more freedom - this reminds natal aspect North node towards the Sun, except that the impact is temporary. Where success and freedom awaits a person, the House in which the connection will take place will show; the affairs of the House ruled by the Sun will also go well thanks to this aspect. The connection of the transit North Node with the progressive Sun is also favorable. During this period, help and support from men comes, a person is elevated, he receives recognition, and new opportunities open up for the male figures important for his life.

Transit of the South Node by the Sun: There may be changes in recognition of your success, often with unforeseen problems. Some suppression of the ego and personality of the person; forced need to fade into the background, difficulties in maintaining the previous status and position. You feel out of the game and have to back down. During this period, a decrease in self-esteem, despair, the development of an inferiority complex or a crisis of self-identification are possible. Poor health and decline are common vital energy... In the lives of people who positively influence you, there is a change for the worse. People who are important to you may fail, suffer losses, or be unable to help you. All this resembles a similar natal aspect, but has a temporary character. The spheres of action of the Houses in which the Sun is located or which the Sun rules are undergoing severe trials. Similar themes appear during the transit of the South Node along the progressive Sun; at the same time, failures are associated with a progressive house ruled by the sun.

North Node Moon Transit: changes in mood and temperament, increased sensitivity. House changes; changes in family members - often an increase in their number due to the birth of children. Strengthening ties with household members and the family hearth. In human life, women play a very important role, and often it is with them that the receipt of benefits is associated. All attention is focused on matters related to the mother or maternal figure. There may be an increase in support from others, receiving benefits from them and gaining popularity from them. Immediately after the contact of the transit North Node with the Moon, personal benefits and joys enter a person's life. Prosperity is noted in the affairs of the House ruled by the Moon; new opportunities open up here. The same themes appear during the transit of the North Node on the progressive Moon, there is an improvement in affairs in the progressive House ruled by the Moon.

Transit of the South Node on the Moon: changes in mood and temperament. A period of melancholy or blockage of emotions. Feeling overwhelmed creativity... Excessive amplification of the imagination leading to fear or obsessive anxiety. Changes on the personal front, in the family environment and in everyday life cause grief. Health issues and problems related to the maternal figure are of great importance. There can be troubles due to a woman who is prone to excessive dominance; parting is possible. During this period, health is very vulnerable, especially those functions and parts of the body that are under the control of the moon. This is very similar to the natal aspect, but temporary. The affairs of the House ruled by the Moon fail, or happen slowly and with effort, causing great frustration. The same themes are noted in those cases when the transit South Node is on the progressive Moon: a decline is noted in the affairs of that progressive House, which is ruled by the Moon.

North Node transit on Mercury: a very busy time. Changes at work, in the immediate environment and communication are usually positive. The human mind is activated, and the nervous energy needs to be released. The time has come for important discussions and decisions. Travels appear on the agenda, plans are being drawn up. A person can buy a car and engage in exploring the surroundings and getting to know the neighbors. The affairs and situation of the siblings take an unexpected turn. Young people play an important role in human life. Note for yourself in which House Mercury is located, and which House he controls, because the affairs of these Houses will go smoothly. The same upturn in business is observed when the transit North Node is on progressive Mercury; at the same time, there is also an improvement in affairs for the progressive House ruled by Mercury.

Transit of the South Node on Mercury: changes for the worse at work and in other areas. Complications arise in the areas of contracts, communication and travel, which gives rise to feelings of displeasure. A person's ideas are disputed, although this may be the right time to work with ideas. There is a discord in the field of communication, a misunderstanding arises. A person must satisfy the requirements of those around him, but this does not meet the needs of his soul. A person is nervous and anxious, he feels that he cannot cope with the changes that are taking place. Difficulties arise in the realms that are in the jurisdiction of the House in which Mercury is located, as well as the House, which is ruled by Mercury. The same themes arise when the transit South Node moves along progressive Mercury - at this time a decline is noted in the affairs of the progressive House ruled by Mercury.

North Node transit on Venus: there is a need to overestimate finances and / or feelings. In the relationship at the very beginning of the transition, there may be some cooling, since the person reflects on his relationship and does not want to feel that the relationship is strangling him or that he is obsessed with it. Under this transit, karmic craving for someone, attachment or romantic relationship may arise. V financially this transit usually has a positive character and is accompanied by an increase in finances, if the person deserves it. The North Node multiplies, but sometimes distorts, the inherent energy of the planet with which it forms a connection, so a person may face an increased need to indulge in everything. This is something that needs to be closely monitored in order to control. Social life is often revitalized, with frequent celebrations and fun activities. Young women and their interests are the focus of attention; they play an important role in human life during this period.

Transit of the South Node on Venus: a person must carefully monitor false priorities in everything related to love and money. During this period, there is a decline in feelings, romance and love. The person feels misunderstood or on a different wavelength with their partner or the object of romantic affection; it takes a lot of effort to maintain a relationship. This is a time for reappraisal, as the person may be involved in the wrong relationship. At this time, karmic attachments, especially of a romantic kind, may end - the end does not necessarily result in parting, it is just that the karmic element leaves the relationship, and one of the partners is released from obligations. The amount of finance is sharply reduced, due to the reduction of assets or the inability to use them. Unexpected and unusual troubles and losses happen to finances. This is the time to take safety measures and reevaluate things. Social life is discouraging.

North Node transit on Mars: the main theme of this aspect is that a person takes on the implementation of large projects and tries to surpass his own physical capabilities. A person can suddenly take possession of the desire to do something grandiose, which usually he does not even think about. It is an uncontrollable desire that makes you feel like a puppet. As a result, blood pressure can rise dramatically and the person will feel irritated and overworked. The person may even be prone to accidents. Therefore, this transit is the time to carefully monitor the movements of our physical body, as well as the burden that we place on our body and the level of stress that it experiences. Important experiences can be associated with a strong male figure. The person makes new acquaintances and starts new ventures. The energy of this transit is very high, but at the same time it is reckless, all actions should be carried out without forgetting about security measures. Consider various Martian hazards from cuts, fires, burns and so on, check the activity of the House ruled by Mars.

Transit of the South Node on Mars: in any action, especially new, it is very easy to make a mistake. When launching a new project, it is necessary to be well aware of all the factors and to know all the people involved in this undertaking. Circumstances and people tend to interfere with progress, confrontation and conflict often occur. Irritation is present. Frustrations and difficulties are associated with male figures. Sadness, problems, and setbacks associated with them can be inevitable, especially if it comes about the female card. Sometimes these figures are dangerous. This aspect increases the propensity to accidents, physical health becomes vulnerable. Energy levels may be low; the person may feel weak. There may be mechanical damage to the car. This is that transit when people have to be very careful and conscientious in all areas. Check the House ruled by Mars to find out in which cases the negative influence of the aspect will manifest itself and complications arise.

Jupiter North Node transit: Jupiter is "Great Happiness" and Venus is "Little Happiness", so this transit is similar to connecting the transit North Node with Venus in terms of material and financial matters. Although this aspect gives a great deal of control over these aspects of life, the person studies his spending habits; here it is possible to revise the sphere of finance and even some frustration in the early stages, before a person begins to work through the prevailing circumstances in order to find the right decisions. The additional money that comes in can only compensate for the increased costs. Large spending can bring acquisitions of a spiritual or philosophical nature. Interest in religion or metaphysics is growing. A useful person often appears in life, who acts as a kind of catalyst for financial or spiritual growth. All beginnings related to publishing are developing successfully, or new opportunities open up in this area. Long journeys usually go well. The North Node has the vibration of expansion, so it is easy to gain weight during this transit.

Jupiter South Node transit: a situation directly opposite to that described above. Sudden unexpected and unforeseen spending, leading to deficits and financial depletion. A person takes on risky events that end in failure, sees opportunities where there are actually many dangers. A person can take on too much, make unfulfillable promises, which reflects badly on his reputation. The problem of a person is the desire to be scattered too much, as well as the tendency to overestimate the amount of time he has at his disposal. The philosophy and belief system of a person goes through this period of testing. Publishing is difficult, and long journeys are unsatisfying. Weight loss may occur.

North Node Saturn Transit: This is a very powerful and beneficial aspect if a person spends a lot of time and effort doing the right thing, lays a solid foundation for his success and plays by the rules of society. This person will be rewarded for consistent effort and hard work. He will receive lessons and experiences that will ultimately be constructive and bring stability. During this transit, a person learns patience, deepens knowledge about himself and his abilities, and all this contributes to the improvement of his "I" -image (self-image) after the transit is completed. Usually, someone older than him in age comes into a person's life, who gives him instructions or plays an important role in his life. The person is ready to take on additional obligations and responsibilities. He enters into a relationship or situation that will ensure his long-term survival, especially in the professional field.

Transit of the South Node on Saturn: such standing imposes significant restrictions on all human efforts. It can be the result of weakened health, emotional decline, deteriorating prospects, or the emergence of obstacles and obligations placed on the person. A person sees life and limitations in a more negative light than in other times, and can feel how black clouds are gathering over his head. He has problems with powerful figures - a boss or business colleague, a judge, or someone else with a higher rank and greater knowledge. A person is faced with typical Saturnian problems - diseases of the teeth, bones and skin, frequent colds, etc. There may be worries, griefs and losses associated with older people. All kinds of illnesses and deaths can happen. Look at the House ruled by Saturn, as well as the House in which Saturn stands, and you will find out in which areas of life you should expect troubles and complications.

North Node Transit on Uranus: This is often a very powerful aspect that can lead to sudden and unexpected events. Anything can happen, events will have a Uranian bias and depend on which House Uranus is in. A person can get a chance. In life, there are short meetings and short relationships that are incredibly meaningful; as a rule, they open new ways for a person. A person may be noticed unexpectedly. He may suddenly develop an interest in the new age or any other areas ruled by Uranus - astrology, computers, various gadgets and technologies. Usually this aspect is constructive, and unexpected events in the majority have a favorable outcome. Pay attention also to the House ruled by Uranus - unusual things can happen there too.

Transit of the South Node on Uranus: surprising or unplanned events. At this time, it is difficult to know something in advance; you need to learn flexibility and follow the flow. This transit has a destructive and destructive vibration. Lack of stability. Events happen out of the blue and tend to end badly. This is the time when you need to take care of preserving your reputation and avoid unnecessary risks, since a person can easily become a victim of scandal or blackmail. In the affairs of the House ruled by Uranus, unusual circumstances can develop or difficulties arise.

North Node Transit on Neptune: stimulation of the imagination; very creative aspect. Previously hidden abilities for art may be revealed. A person can feel inspiration, love, and empathy for those around them. The spiritual side of human nature is expanding. It is a vibration of high love, love for life and all its creatures, a sense of acceptance and happy contentment. Interest in meditation and dreaming may increase.

Visualization exercises produce quick results thanks to a happy mindset combined with the ability to see and feel the desired result. Hypnosis becomes a way of self-improvement. The travels are going very well.

Transit of the South Node on Neptune: a person can be carried away by intrigue, alcohol or drugs. Imagination leads in the wrong direction, it is overly strong; a person is prone to self-deception. Relationships may arise with vicious people or those who deceive him. You need to be very careful about all the new people who come into your life during this transit. This is the time to question your own judgment. You need someone whose advice you can trust. The likelihood of fraud is high, it depends on how pronounced the action of Neptune is in the natal chart. During this transit, confusion arises, unresolved issues, everything is in a fog, and there may also be a feeling that everything has gone awry. Traveling is not as enjoyable as expected.

North Node Transit on Pluto: a change in consciousness, important and long-term changes in life. A person is ready to resist obstacles, his energy increases and inner strength required to make previously planned changes. This is often a great time to address deeper psychological issues. A person makes decisions that affect the most personal areas of life: everyday life and family life, financial situation or personal habits. The person feels an urgent need to do some things. This transit is associated with major undertakings. There is a transformation and reorganization of life, this is a constructive period, a period of sufficient strength for a radical improvement in the situation. It's a great time to quit bad habits. There may be contacts with healers; the emergence of a new relationship marks a turn in life. Activities related to general resources, taxes and insurance come to the fore.

Transit of the South Node on Pluto: Intense and complex relationships, often accompanied by power struggles and confrontation. Something is crumbling. Some deep or persuasive event occurs that acts as a catalyst for new experiences and changes in consciousness. Circumstances can force you to change plans and force you to agree to new conditions. Some important problem that goes back to the conflict in the past may be resolved. Sometimes, in a close circle, someone's death happens or separation from someone happens. There is a danger of an attack on a person and the fact that a violent crime will burst into his life. A person must be very attentive to the environment. Pluto's contacts with the nodes are accompanied by such unpleasant events as abductions, miscarriages, suicides, abortions, etc.

North Node Transit on Chiron: Chiron's position in one of the natal Houses shows the zone of vulnerability and at the same time - the area in which a person is endowed with talents and can bring help in healing others. North Node transits can cause a spike in activity around Chiron's House and associated vulnerable areas. At the same time, this transit is the period when a person establishes important relationships with others, when opportunities for inner healing and healing of other people open up.

South Node Transit on Chiron: sad events, returning to the once received trauma; this affected area is symbolized by the House into which the natal Chiron falls, or aspects to Chiron. During this period, losses, setbacks, and serious troubles occur. Contact with those who are sick or suffering. This transit can have multiple effects, but often its manifestations are associated with the natal House in which the natal Chiron is located. Pain and anxiety build up, forcing the person to tackle the problem. The square of the transit nodes to Chiron has a similar effect.

The above descriptions of node transits can be applied not only to the natal House in which the natal planet is located or which it rules, but also to progressive planets. In this case, you should check the position of the planet in the progressive House and the progressive House that it rules in order to find out in which areas profit or loss should be expected. The following descriptions can be applied to the progressive House cusps that transit nodes pass through.

Node Transits by Nodes and Cusps of Corner Houses

North Node transit through the North Node: this transit marks an important crossroads as it is the time of the karmic transition to new stage. Next year will be very important. It is the end of the old phase of growth and experience and the transition to a new phase that marks new projects to complete and new lessons to learn. It seems that higher powers will lead you. Man had eighteen and a half previous years at his disposal to learn the karmic lessons of the previous stage - and now he is entering a new era, which depends on the level of his evolution reached by that moment. The stability, maturity, and spiritual insight accumulated up to this point are just a contribution to future opportunities. Some confusion and frustration at the very beginning of the transit is explained by the fact that the person continues to work on the old situation, but at the same time he feels new impulses. Some people may be aware of the shift in focus even before the connection begins. Others try to stay in the old rut. You have a full year at your disposal to make this transition.

Transit of the South Node through the North Node: this transit also often marks a crossroads on the path of life, because it is very conducive to development. A new consciousness is born, mainly due to interaction with other people. A person must combine what he has learned about himself with the acceptance of other people and different points of view. A period of intense contact with others, the establishment of new relationships.

North Node Ascendant Transit: a dynamic period of personal changes and various events. Often happen important changes and are installed karmic relationship with other people. People start to actively notice you. Personal efforts are supported by those around them. During this period, it is very easy to attract other people into your life. There is a need to balance your own goals and needs with those of your partner and others, which can feel like a heavy burden. This is a stressful time. There is a chance of weight gain.

South Node Ascendant Transit: you may want to become invisible during this period. You are going through internal changes. In the eyes of others, you can look quite a successful person with a perfectly adjusted life, but you yourself feel that everything is completely different. You tend to work for others, make concessions to them, and sacrifice for them. It seems that you are ruled by those around you, that they are in control of your life, and your options are severely limited. Your relationships with other people are changing. Weight loss is possible.

North Node transit by MS: this is usually a very favorable transit for career growth, raising their status and revising their ambitions. Neil Armstrong's north node was approaching Progressive MC when he was the first human to set foot on the lunar surface. A period of good relationship with superiors. Difficulty trying to balance your life and your career can lead to the fact that you begin to sacrifice household chores. Or home and family life can cause displeasure and a feeling of emptiness, forcing to switch the main energy to the outside world. Moving is possible, many events are associated with parents and home. Maybe you need to do some renovation.

Transit of the South Node by MS: attention shifts to the family and everyday life, so a person can devote less time to his professional career. Efforts must be made to balance household and work chores, or careers may suffer as a result. In the realm of careers, there are some sacrifices. A person may have a lower status, higher authorities may be dissatisfied with the results of his work. Ego and external ambition recede into the background and give way to the needs of personal growth. A person can change their goals or change their attitude towards home life... Domestic affairs and events are of great importance. You can count on the help of parents; things are going well for parents.

North Node Transit on the Wheel of Fortune: period of favorable conditions; often at this time there is a meeting with a person who can change your destiny for the better. Thanks to this happy meeting, the tendencies of your life can change. At this time, the effort you put in pays off - this is a good moment when you can make the right choice and focus your efforts on improving the situation. See which House this conjunction takes place in to get the most out of this aspect.

South Node Transit on the Wheel of Fortune: human efforts do not find adequate support; this is a much less fortunate period in all respects. A person has limited choice, you may be cornered, or you have to confront those who have completely different intentions and goals than you. You can easily make a mistake by making the wrong choice and making a decision that is not wise enough. The home the connection falls into will show what kind of trouble to expect and the area that needs special attention and care.

North Node Vertex Transit: this is a fatal contact. You feel that you are practically unable to control the fateful meetings and experiences taking place in your life. You are vulnerable - others use you for their own purposes or hurt you. You may feel depressed, lonely, and rejected. This is the time to think carefully about who you are in close relationship with and to whom you have given power. Important decisions made during this time have a lasting impact. Even if everything is stable and going well, it seems to you that you are not able to make independent decisions and think that it is better to proceed from what others will advise you. Work through the circumstances. The square of the transit nodes to the vertex is about the same difficult.

South Node Vertex Transit: This transit is reminiscent of the one we just discussed, since it seems to a person that the external forces that set events in motion are beyond his control, forcing him to acquire new experiences, but limiting the possibilities of choice. However, the end result is often very successful. Cosmic forces are working for you. People around you look more favorably on your needs and desires, with sympathy for your affairs, although your dependence on other people still persists. Important decisions made at this time have a long-term perspective. Significant changes can occur in intimate relationships. During this period, karmic connections that extend from the past can end, but at the same time others begin.

Trine and sextile of nodes to planets or cusps corner houses resemble the transits of the North Node. The square of transit nodes to the planet or important point the celestial sphere resembles the influence of the South Node. The affairs of the House ruled by the planet through which the transit node passes are affected accordingly.

In the next chapter, we will look at the various effects of contact between transiting planets and natal nodes.

The cycle of the Lunar nodes is approximately 18.6 years. The nodes move retrograde at a rate of 3-4 minutes per day. They move by about a degree in 18 days, and their aspects last about 38 days. Thus, approximately every 19 years, at 19, 38, 57, and 76 years, the Nodes begin a new cycle. WITHa new cycle of Nodesa person receives a new impulse in search of his own destiny.Everything that happens around these periods contributes to the maturation of the personality, it can be accompanied by a psychological crisis. However, the external manifestation of this phenomenon or an event associated with it may occur later. The year preceding the return of the Nodes to the radix position resembles a passage through phase XII of the house, when a person is focused on summing up the results of the previous cycle and prepares to enter a new level of his evolution.

The end of the first cycle of the Nodes, at the age of 18-19, is the time to generalize the experience gained in youth. This period is lived with excitement, associated with the piled up responsibility on the threshold of adulthood, the choice of the path along which further development will go.

At the end of the second cycle of Nodes, at the age of 37-38, a person tries to assess the degree of success (or failure) of his efforts towards achieving the set goal. This assessment comes after the beginning of the second half of life (35 years) and gives it an appropriate shade.

At the end of the third cycle of Nodes, at the age of 56-57, a person sees what level he has reached, and how successful his creative participation in social activities was. The return of the Nodes occurs a little earlier than the end of the Saturn cycle and coincides with the beginning of the period of activity of the constructive years of life. This is a period of changes in the spiritual development of a person and in his deepest emotional reactions.

The fourth return of the knots occurs at the age of 75-76. At this moment, a person exhausts his potential in achieving the set goal and is able to assess the significance of the results of his activities for future generations.

Division of the cycle of the Lunar nodes into 3 and 9-year periods

Every 19 years, the North Node transits according to its natal position. After 9 years, it occupies a position opposite to the radix one: the North node transits along the radix South node, and the South node enters the natal longitude of the North. This is a half cycle of Nodes, their inversion. External events or changes in real life often more strongly associated with the half cycle of the Nodes than with their return to natal position. Transit of nodes hits this cycle midpoint every nine years: 9, 27, 45, 63 years.

Each nine-year period corresponds to half of the cycle of nodes and consists of three three-year periods, which are related to each other according to the principle of thesis or action (first years), antithesis or reaction (second years) and synthesis or analysis of the result (third years). These three-year periods form the sextile and trine of the Nodes to their radix position. So, wherever the Knot goes, to the reverse or forward position, the ninth year is the time of "seeding potential force".

The nine-year cycle of nodes can also take on an individual character. Instead of counting the years from birth, you can determine the beginning of the cycle when the North Node first passes the Ascendant. This transit occurs every 18.6 years and its interpretation should be related to the factor of age.

Lunar nodes transit along the radix

The axis of the nodes distributes the polar force of personal choice of life purpose throughout the entire existence of a person. Its transit in hemispheres and quadrants has the meaning of a new force. As the axis of the Lunar nodes advances, positive energy is released, forming a personality in opposition to the force of habit, a stereotype adopted in a family or in a culture.

Since the movement of the Nodes has a backward - retrograde nature, when the North node crosses the Ascendant, and, accordingly, the South node crosses the Descendant point, the Nodes move from I-VII houses to the XII and VI houses. Once in the XII house of the radix, the North Node goes through its I house of the cycle, which corresponds to a new phase of personality integration.Experience shows that sometimes the transit of the North Node in a house is extremely important for a person to realize his life path while the event itself is outwardly determined by the transit of the South Node through the opposing house.

In addition to the individual value of the transit of the Nodes through the houses, one should take into account the universal value of the movement of the Nodes along the hemisphere, which changes every nine years. So, if the North Node goes in a hemisphere above the radix horizon, it masters the first six houses of its cycle. Consequently, at this time, the life of the individual is subject to external conditions, although behavior is determined by the strength of the habit that has developed inside. When the North Node crosses the Descendant and passes under the radix horizon, the external environment requires positive efforts from the person, and the internal life exists automatically. Here, the terms "internal" and "external" have a meaning in the context of personal evolution and do not correspond to the events of everyday life.

The transit cycle of the Lunar nodes indicates the nature of external and internal resistance to the results of the personal and social past. This fact can be easily verified by observing the transit of the North Node over the radix planet. Everything that at the moment of connection with the North Node was contained in the potential of the planet, can manifest itself in nine years, when the South Node passes the connection with the same planet. The results of these advances will reveal themselves over the next nine years, which will lead to a new conjunction of the planet with the North Node. The moments of intersection of the Meridian and the Horizon of the radix with the axis of the transit lunar nodes always matter.

Function

Like the planets, the axis of the transit nodes also has its own function. The nodal axis is related to relationships. In the natal chart, the signs and houses in which the nodes are located, as well as the aspects they form with natal planets and points, provide clues to how we interact with others. The axis of transit Nodes informs us of what others are activating in us at a specific time.

Whether a transit planet aspects your natal Nodes or your transit Nodes aspect a natal planet, in any case other people will play an important role in current situations. The difference is that when the transit planet will activate your natal Nodes, you will apply the energy attributed to this planet in your connections. When the transit Nodes aspect the natal planet then it indicates that someone else will "include" the principles associated with this planet within you. If, for example, transiting Saturn aspects your Nodes, then this may mean that you can consider responsibilities or obligations in a relationship. The idea to do this comes from you, hence you are the initiator. When the axis of the transit nodes aspects your natal Saturn, the other person somehow influences you so that you consider your responsibilities or obligations. This idea or situation was initiated by someone else, but it is up to you to react.

What You Can Feel When Node Transits

Perhaps it would be inaccurate to say that the Transit Nodes themselves symbolize or cause a certain “shake-up” within us. What they do is bring to the fore the sensations associated with the planet or the point they are activating, as illustrated somewhat above. You may find that you value your way of interacting with people because of the way people behave towards you. The sensations experienced during the transits of the nodal axis through Saturn were Saturnian. In other words, the other person was responsible for reviewing your obligations. If it were Uranus, then someone else would bring to the fore the issues related to Uranus, etc. Common to Node transits is that the stimulus is external.

How You Can Use the Node Aspects

Even though Node transits indicate that someone is influencing you, they can be used profitably. Awareness of these aspects allows you to know what is about to activate within you, so you can prepare before this happens, or at least guide the situation when relevant factors arise.

The nodal cycle itself may be indicative of the influence others may have on you. The nodal cycle lasts 18.6 years and forms major stressful aspects to its natal position every 4.6 years. The premise here is that some relationship will affect the way you interact with others. With the aspect of Transit Nodes to natal Nodes, you will not wake up one morning with a decision to treat people differently for an undeniable reason. On the contrary, it seems to be dictated by external circumstances.

Ken Negus's study of the nodal cycle and its significance in the lives of US presidents confirmed the above premise. He focused his attention on oppositions and connections and found that the connection or opposition of the NN to the natal Node coincides in most cases with important events worthy of mention in biographical essays. These events ranged from taking office and marriage, on the one hand, to retirement and death, on the other. It is clear that some cases were more desirable than others, but all involved treating people or society as a whole in a different way. This even applies to death, since it is the termination of earthly relationships.

While none of my clients had the same impact on the world as the US presidents, they usually experienced some kind of outward change in their relationships due to other people when the transit North Node formed a connection or opposition to the natal North Node. I have also found that squares are important too, and I interpret them the way I do for connections and oppositions. Nodal return represents the most important aspect of the cycle.

A friend of mine, an artist and teacher, discovered just before the nodal return (the natal North Node is in the 10th house) that she was having problems in her professional relationship. She said that she sensed something was wrong a few weeks before the aspect took shape, but she chased away the idea to change something until the students who came to her classes started to skip them freely, and then completely stopped attending. Many gave good reasons, but it was so atypical that she began to wonder if she had done something to drive them away, or if her teaching methods were to blame. When she described the situation to me and I discovered the nodal return in her chart, it became clear to me that this aspect was determining her situation. It was just about time to change the way we interact with the world. This was confirmed by the fact that, according to her, she experienced similar feelings two years ago. Her products were not in demand, and it seemed that her work had stopped. This was the first time she questioned her abilities and during this period she added new technique to her repertoire as well as started teaching her craft. At this time, the North Node entered the tenth house. When we re-examined the whole situation, she realized that not all of her experiences with skill and learning were negative. She did not doubt her talent at this time, but rather the methodology and manner of communicating with others. She faced these questions during the nodal return, but perhaps if she had considered these questions when they first surfaced in her mind, she could have avoided some unpleasant situations and resentments. This example made me think that maybe something can be done with the nodal aspects.


While others may influence us to interact differently (transit Nodes with natal nodes) or come into contact with certain functions within us (transit Nodes to natal planets), perhaps some preliminary research into transit Nodes may be helpful.It can give us a clue to understanding before the aspect operates. If we know what likely to activate, we can find people who can help us express the relevant topics in a positive way, or at least prepare us for the types of situations that might arise. If we understand these issues and channel our various motives in a positive way, we will not need to face negative experiences. As soon as I realized this, I started using this approach with my clients, and mostly the feedback was positive.

Lunar nodes transit through the radix planets

Transit Nodes aspecting the Sun, indicate that your ego will be pushed to the forefront in some way. Your ego will play an important role in your relationship. Either your pride can be damaged, or you can gain recognition. I have several examples where people got promoted during this aspect, whether it was tense or harmonious. But, however, I had a case when the sextile of a transit north node to the sun materialized into the firing of a person. This made me realize that although the ego is being pushed to the fore by someone else during the transit aspects of the nodes to the Sun, the end result may not always be desirable. Therefore, now with these aspects, I advise you to remember that the world is "pointing the spotlight to illuminate you" and you must take your best step forward. You can go up one step. You can think about what kind of recognition you want and work in that direction. It doesn't have to be about ego gratification in a career, it can be about any area in which you may or want to be noticed.

When Transit Nodes activate your Moon , you may be put in emotional situations, or you may find yourself appealing to your maternal nature. Others can influence your feelings, either by unbalancing or providing emotional support. During such periods, you may be more sensitive to the actions of others and therefore tend to react emotionally and instinctively in the relationship. Emotional issues that have been trapped in the subconscious may come up and bring you in touch with feelings from your past. If this happens, consider them carefully, and do not try to suppress them, because in this way you can free yourself from old obsessions. The sensitivity associated with these aspects can also manifest itself in tenderness and compassion in the contacts that occur during these aspects.

Aspects of Nodes to Mercury tell you that communication in one form or another will be important in a relationship. You may feel like others are forcing you to talk or write too much, or you may enjoy being with others. If there are people you want to contact, choose a time just before these aspects to call them or send a letter. You may keep in touch or be contacted during such periods. This is why I advise my writing clients to send their manuscripts during such periods. Of course, there is no guarantee that the results will be positive, but the symbolism is at least appropriate. If another person is going to connect, why not try to make it the person you want to hear from.

When Transit Nodes aspect Venus , you must prepare for social interaction. You can plan your party to invite people to enjoy with you. In this way, you can avoid the possible feeling that you are wasting your time. This is not an easy period to work hard. Other people may interfere with you by offering to join their frivolous activities. During these times, it can be difficult to adhere to a tight work schedule, even if other transits indicate that you must do so. You may feel that some people are wasting your time, or you may enjoy the joys of being with others. You can take a pleasant trip to reap the full benefits of Venus. But if that's not possible, at least realign your schedule so that you have time to enjoy your Venus rather than fight it.

Aspects of Nodes to Mars indicate that you may be asked to take the initiative in some way, or you may find other people imparting energy to you. Contacting during these aspects can be challenging, but you may also find yourself easily annoyed or that certain people make you want to argue. Since this is not a time for sedentary interaction, you may want to reassure yourself that you are physically active, preferably with others. Expending energy in some form of exercise can prevent the possibility of flare-ups when someone tends to annoy you. A client of mine went on a group hike during the Mars node aspect. He returned home very tired, but did not talk about any unpleasant encounters.

When the Nodes activate your Jupiter , you may find that people are helping you to develop in some way or, as in the case of Venus, that your time is wasted by others. You may feel that others are expecting too much of you, or you may develop through interaction. This is a great time to sign up for a course or go on a trip. You may still feel overwhelmed, but at least you will take a step in the right direction. Putting yourself in a situation and in front of people who can help you grow is much more preferable than just sitting and waiting for what happens. One student of mine, who believed that the conjunction of the North Node with Jupiter could only bring her something "amazing", sat back and waited for abundance to descend upon her. But the following happened: at work, she received so many tasks that she had to work overtime. Of course, it made a little more money, but she would rather leave the job for a while. When she came home, it turned out that every family member needed her for some business. She felt that it was pleasant to be needed, but overwork did not allow her to fully appreciate it. And in conclusion, her social life began to seethe. It seemed that everyone who knew her was eager for her company, and it was difficult for her to say no. She was happy when this aspect ended, and vowed that the next time the Nodes form an aspect with her Jupiter, she would take a full month's vacation during which this aspect would be active.

During the aspects of the Nodes to Saturn you will undoubtedly consider your obligations, responsibilities, or life structure because of other people, not because you particularly want it. Or you may feel constrained by someone else, responsibility may become a major issue in the relationship. If there is no inner urge to ponder commitment, this aspect can catch you off guard and be limiting. Someone might make you feel limited, or another person might make you feel secure. If you know about his approach and are preparing for him, then he can be a favorable time to stabilize or evaluate your position in the relationship. Or, you may even reap rewards thanks to the other person. An illustration of this was the case of a woman who was leading a divorce case. The square of the Nodes in transit to Saturn was supposed to fall on the appointed date of the judgment. We looked at a large number of Saturnian possibilities, and the one that seemed most applicable in her circumstances involved the payment she hoped to receive from her husband. I invited her to carefully consider her needs, so that they are established in her mind and she could insist on her own. She took a step further. Her husband was not at all inclined to cooperate, so she figured out what she wanted and asked for more. Thus, she could imagine that she was making a concession, but still get what she wanted; and so it happened. She was very happy with the result, and her husband thought he won.

When nodes aspect natal Uranus , you can feel spontaneity in your relationship. Someone may suddenly enter your life or abruptly cut off the connection with you. Others may connect with you to do something, influenced by the minute. Your personality, creativity, or need for freedom may be set in motion during this time. Weird people may come into your life, someone may help you defend your independence, or use your creativity. This is not the simplest combination in which you can stabilize the relationship, it is better to stay free. When Uranus is in focus, you may want something exciting, so you might want to try to schedule some exciting activity with another person. It may not turn out quite the way you expected, but it can increase your arousal. Just like the aspects of Uranus to the Nodes, the aspects of the Nodes to Uranus can indicate that unusual and / or strange people will suddenly appear in your life. A man who regularly took the train to work found during such aspects that every morning when he waited for the train, a very strange group of people gathered around him. He must have liked it as he liked to tell different stories about it. If you prefer to avoid strange people or encounters, you may want to look for more creative people that you will enjoy communicating with.

When the Nodes activate your Neptune , you may come into contact with someone who can have a powerful spiritual impact on you. This is a good time to continue.

religious seclusion or taking classes in intangible subjects. By engaging in such activities, you can avoid being exposed to the deceptive, illusory side of Neptune. While dreams can become reality under Neptune, self-deception is also possible. You may feel cheated or someone may be spiritually inspiring you. Be wary of people offering you opportunities for material gains in the Node aspects of Neptune. During these times, you may be more vulnerable than usual, and it is possible to attract people who can take advantage of this vulnerability. Therefore, during such periods, if possible, it is better to focus on the non-material side of life. The most striking example of this was given by my student, whose natal Neptune was in the fifth house. Before studying astrology, she received an offer to purchase land in Florida, and could not resist it. She jumped at the chance to buy, but when she later went to inspect her property, she found it was underwater. When she began to study astrology, looking into the ephemeris of this "fatal" period, she found out that at this time the transit nodes formed a square with her Neptune. If she had known about this aspect before and about its meaning, she could have gone to look at the future property before buying and avoid her fiasco. Another possibility of this combination is the feeling of being burdened or deceived by others. Be helpful - using Neptune in this way can be enjoyable, but satisfaction will be canceled out if you feel someone has guided you towards it. Before starting this aspect, study your altruistic projects. Note why and to whom you are helping. This will define your position and give you an excuse for not helping those you don't want to be helpful.

Transit Nodes aspecting natal Pluto, may indicate that you may be given some authority, or that you will be forced to exercise your authority. Another possibility is that someone may encourage you to analyze yourself and possibly transform yourself in some way. You may think that someone is trying to extend their power to you, or the relationship may be a reason to analyze themselves or assert their power. It may seem like there is no way around the situation before you. You may feel that you are under pressure to make an irreversible decision. If you don't face the circumstances, someone else may make the decision for you. While the circumstances may not be in your favor, you can still influence the outcome.

When Transit Nodes activate a Piece of Fortune, you might expect someone to bring you an opportunity, or another person might make you think better of yourself. If you leave everything to chance, the opportunity may be ripped out of you, or the relationship may cause you to ask the question of what you are striving for. You may feel that you are being hindered in achieving your goal, or another person may offer you an opportunity to fulfill. Look for ways to achieve fulfillment through some kind of connection. Taking the first step in making contact can open doors for you. I can give many examples of this, but I will only mention two here. The first refers to a man with a Part of Fortune in the tenth house who was dissatisfied with his job. Just before North Node formed opposition to his Piece of Fortune, he submitted an application for a position he thought would make him happier. During the aspect, he received a positive response to his statement. The second example concerns a woman who did not sit back and wait for Prince Charming when the North Node formed a conjunction with his Part of Fortune in the seventh house. After a little nudge from her astrologer, she began to arrange social gatherings with men who seemed appropriate. In the first case given, the job was found and so far it seems suitable. In the last example, it is too early to talk about the degree of success, but several interesting people"Hit the hook."

When Transit Nodes aspect an MS , your career or public image is highlighted by others. The other person might take away a job opportunity or offer it to you. You may find an increase in professional interactions - more clients or people willing to do business with you. In the previous example, when a man. sent a request for a relative new job during the Aspects of the Transit Nodes to the Part of Fortune, this action was appropriate as the Part of Fortune was in his tenth house. But more than other aspects, Nodes with MCs indicate the most favorable timing of career-related contacts. Or you can ask for a raise during this time. Rest assured that you deserve it, as these aspects will not magically materialize the increase in salary. The only guarantee is that others will focus on your career or public image. You may want to seek recognition during this period, but remember that both fame and dishonor fall into this category, and it's important to present your best side.

Aspects of Transit Nodes to the natal Ascendant bring you to the fore first; if you are wondering how other people see you, then during this aspect they will no doubt tell you so in a different way. You can either have doubts about your personality, or you can think well of yourself, which is related to the position of people in relation to you. Since the Node axis represents connections in general, and does not distinguish between acquaintances and intimate relationships, it is possible that someone you know a little too well will have a strong influence on you. attack or disapprove, "don't crawl into your cave." You need to connect with other people, so consciously look for someone who can make you think better of yourself. If one of the transit Nodes forms a conjunction with the Ascendant, then the subtext will be different than in the case of the conjunction of the planet with the Ascendant. Since the middle nodes always move retrograde, when passing through the Ascendant, the Node leaves the first house, and does not enter it. And he moves to the twelfth house. He leaves the sphere of the observed and moves into the subconscious. This indicates that others may force you to take a deeper look within yourself, or may have a profound effect on your personality - an influence that may be subconscious. This is why it is very good during this aspect to find people who can support you. In this way, you can start a period in which the relationship will have a more subtle effect on you (Nodes pass through the twelfth house), more sovereignty than self-doubt.

When a Node forms a connection with a cusp of any house , of course, he leaves this house, and does not enter it. For example, after his conjunction with the MC, where the emphasis in relationships was on a career, the connections begin to take on a tinge of questions of the ninth house. In fact, since we are dealing with an axis, it will be more accurate to say that when the Nodes pass through the MC and IC, the questions of both the third and ninth houses may become significant in the relationship. The implication is that when Nodes enter a pair of houses, albeit from the back door, you may be aware that the focus in the relationship is beginning to shift towards issues related to those houses. You may even find that relevant incidents involving others will occur at this time. As in the case of the planets, you should not expect that each day will be filled with people activating questions related to the houses through which the transit Nodes pass, but it is worth paying special attention to the time of their entry and exit from each house.

To begin with, I examined in detail the connections of Nodes with house cusps in my map. When the North Node entered the seventh house, I got married; when he entered the fifth, my first child was born. This supported my desire to consider the passage of nodes through houses and I began to educate my clients about the possibilities associated with this movement in their maps. Feedback was favorable. Since the nodes are opposite to each other, they will activate houses in pairs, and it is possible that the North Node moving through the house will have a different effect than the South Node. For the sake of simplicity, no distinction is made between nodes, and houses are considered singly rather than in pairs.

Lunar nodes transit through the houses of the radix

Transit North Node position shows a sphere conscious activity or the application of a person's efforts to develop his potential. The ability that a person theoretically needs in terms of the transit position of the North Node is determined by an event in the transit sector of the South. Given that we know that the South Node zone does not require internal efforts, but functions according to the habit formed by the transit of the North Node along this point nine years ago. It should be recalled here that in the transit of the Lunar nodes we are dealing with an axis where both points include two opposing houses.

North node in the 1st house, South node in the 7th house - You may feel that everyone is focusing attention on you. Some people may speak flatteringly about you, others may be hostile. Both alternatives are possible, so if you have an unpleasant experience with someone, look for another person who can support you. When the North Node crosses the Ascendant and passes through the XII natal house, a new eighteen-year cycle of life begins. The age of a person at the time of this transit must be correlated with other cycles (by the factor of age), since it is his phase that gives the tonality to the entire cycle of nodes. And at whatever age this event occurs, it corresponds to a new stage in the search for the meaning of life. The nature of the period is determined by the success or failure of the previous eighteen-year cycle, and a state of mental crisis can be caused by a person's resistance to the chosen path. The results of personal efforts of this period will manifest themselves in outer life much later, when the South Node crosses the border of the Ascendant. Now the place of application of energy and initiative is the zone of the XII house, and the VI house becomes the point of least resistance. A person creates his appearance through the assertion of personal values, his truth, realizing the needs of individuality. In the Descendant zone, we behave according to the established tradition, according to the usual, effortless stereotypes. Under unsuccessful circumstances during this period, a person tends to delegate initiative and responsibility to partners or surrender to a feeling of overwhelming love, with the risk of dissolving in his beloved. In this case, developmental delay and rejection of personal initiative occur. Old complexes, true or imaginary, penetrate into intimate relationships of a person, and habitual patterns of behavior that have developed in social group connect a person with his past. The future decisively demands to take its position, throwing away everything to which a person has become indifferent, and to develop in the direction of conscious values.

North node in the 2nd house, South node in the 8th house - People can have a strong influence on your values ​​or can help you spend your money. Look for those who can increase your income. This position of transit nodes draws attention to the inadequate use of energy resources. The present moment requires a new distribution of forces, changes in energy reactions. Compliance with the tactics of least resistance involves relying on someone else's energy, for example: on the efforts of loved ones. However, he should not rely on automatic consent. During this period, it is useful to develop your physical, psychological and mental capabilities, in accordance with the challenge of the present moment. Then during the cycle it will be possible to become effective and socially significant.

North node in the 3rd house, South node in the 9th house - Beware of possible dependence on other people. Brothers, sisters, or neighbors may be more important in your life. Determine your desired level of involvement. The axis of nodes at this stage focuses a person's attention on the development of practical skills and intellectual abilities, productively solving specific problems with the immediate environment. It is useful to direct your efforts to the formation of your own style of behavior, to try to adapt to changing circumstances, rejecting previous stereotypes of behavior, to find your own original way of expressing your ideas about the world, based on personal experience. If preference is given to the existence in the world of metaphysical or abstract ideas, then development along the line of least resistance is chosen. At this stage it would be good to try to find practical use your ideals, making dreams come true.

North Node in 4th House, South Node in 10th House - Others may influence you in your home or you may feel like the whole world is about to visit you. Invite people with whom you would like to interact, and maybe others refrain from visiting. During this period, fate will require a person to pay more attention to the situation in the family and understanding the reasons for the relationships that have developed in it, than to strengthen social positions. The potential strength at this stage lies in family life and personal feelings, this power is able to deepen creativity person and help release their capabilities in relationships with people. Established habits and stereotypes of emotional behavior in the family can cause neglect of family and one's own. inner life for the sake of complete dissolution in routine professional activities. The current moment requires the simultaneous development of the creative capabilities of the individual and the acquisition of behavioral skills that satisfy his needs. If these efforts are not made now, it will be more difficult for a person to achieve professional success in the future.

North node in the 5th house, South node in the 11th house - Love and romance may enter your life, or the focus may be on your children. To prepare, be fully aware of what is happening with your children, or if you want romantic episodes, turn to situations that may contribute to this. The moment of integration here requires personal efforts that mobilize the creative "I". At this position of the nodes, the area of ​​least resistance is located in the zone of collective interests. Submitting to group ideals, a person can lose his creative initiative. A friendly environment and social activity can destroy the germs of creative enthusiasm, which is required at the current stage of evolution. There may even be a craving for heroism. Now their own judgments are more valuable than the opinion of the collective. However, if a person belongs to a group, he can now become its leader. Be that as it may, with a positive development, creative initiative will find a channel for self-expression. The main obstacle to this stage can be a feeling of emotional dissatisfaction; it would be useful to get rid of the failures of the previous period and their influence.

North node in the 6th house, South node in the 12th house - Others can tell you how and when to work, or you can organize your daily routine and delegate some tasks to others. The position of the nodes in these two houses indicates the end of the first half of the cycle of nodes and, accordingly, the final phase of human social activity. The focus is on the desire to serve, which can be expressed through the worship of a person who has become a kind of outlet. At this moment, it is easiest for a person to withdraw into himself, away from the tensions of the external world, to abstract himself physically, emotionally or spiritually. Sometimes what remained unfinished over a nine-year period of social activity goes through its final stage and requires a revision of stereotypes of behavior, a search for new ways of realizing creative individuality. At the same time, the task is solved positively, rather with the goal of serving humanity, than with a desire to satisfy the needs of your ego. A transformation crisis can lead to health problems, especially if at this moment a person retrospectively looks at what he has lived through instead of active work.

North node in the 7th house, South node in the 1st house - You may be persecuted or you can get married. Good time to find close relationships that you would like to develop. This transit of nodes begins a nine-year period of internal activity. At the beginning of the cycle, there may be a need for personal effort aimed at developing the culture of relationships, searching for their new forms. Circumstances require a person to confirm his ability to cooperate, the ability to focus on others, see and hear their needs, and the ability to give in. It is now possible to gain positive experiences in the field of interpersonal relationships rather than listening to inner impulses or plunging into passive self-contemplation. In the event of a negative development in a person's behavior, a despotic tendency to project their reactions onto others may appear. He will demand the fulfillment of his desires, special attention to his personal merits and achievements, will impose his rhythm and worldview on those around him. His complacency grows. It would be more useful to go out into a world where it is easy to meet open and free people than to get lost in observations of an egocentric nature. The area of ​​least resistance during this period of life is located in the chair opposite the mirror.

North node in the 8th house, South node in the 2nd house - Someone may offer you to share his (her) resources with him or someone may make a sexual offer. In any case, you can choose what and how much you want to make. This transit causes the need to search for new forms in interpersonal relationships, new values ​​that bind partners, colleagues, spouses. During this period, a person needs to find his interests, looking closely at the direction of the activities of other people, participating in their daily life, using their experience to awaken in himself new forces, opportunities, abilities. New values ​​can arise as a result of common efforts in organizing joint affairs, in group activities, in occult pursuits or a sexual relations... This will strengthen the bond between partners, provide new points of contact. When choosing the path along the line of least resistance, a person organizes activities only to satisfy his own desires. There is a danger of wasting energy on trifles, without creating anything new, and getting a negative result, experiencing feelings of dissatisfaction and disappointment, shifting responsibility for the realization of your needs onto your partner. In this transit, the possibility of personal rebirth is great, but it can only be realized in pair or collective relationships with a concentration on other people's interests and desires.

North node in the 9th house, South node in the 3rd house - You can meet people through travel or higher education; or spiritual or philosophical individuals can make contact with you. You can choose this time to go on a trip or be active in religion. This transit puts a person in front of the need to raise the questions of everyday life to the level of reflection. Acquiring new knowledge gained while traveling or interacting with representatives of other cultures through religious or philosophical pursuits can help a person go beyond everyday patterns and give new meaning to life every day. During this transit, a person will be able to turn to the search for a new way of integrating the distant and the near, the familiar and the unknown. The area of ​​least resistance is associated with the search for new information in the area of ​​the immediate environment, instead of focusing on ideal goals in a certain direction. With positive development, a person is able to conclude during this transit that no religious or scientific dogma is of greater value in a humanistic worldview.

North node in the 10th house, South node in the 4th house - You may have more business contacts than usual, or someone may force you to consider what role you play in the world. Try to meet people who can contribute to your career, or in some other way "project" yourself onto the world. The axis of the knots here emphasizes the opposition of the home to the career, the public and the intimate. Now the social sector determines the channel through which the process of self-integration takes place, and the field of activity where the person will spend energy. Perhaps driven by the instinct of self-preservation and the need to conserve resources, he feels the need to devote all his time to personal affairs, internal life, especially taking care of the house, and to abandon social and professional obligations. The realization of this desire can lead him to the loss of his public face and professional reputation. It is important to find during this period an opportunity to cope with the desire to withdraw into oneself or sit in a safe zone in order to accumulate strength and subsequently justify public confidence. This transit has a separate meaning in the cycle of nodes. It shows in practice, in concrete results, what was conceived at the beginning of the cycle, when the North node crossed the Ascendant point, 14 or 15 years ago, and corrected during its transit through IV and VII houses. It should be remembered that the results can be both positive and negative.

North node in the 11th house, South node in the 5th house - You may be approached about joining a group or someone may intrude on your aspirations. You can choose to research organizations with which you may be associated, or interact with those who can help you achieve your hopes and desires. In the house of ideals, in the sphere of social and mystical creativity, human involvement in humanistic organizations, there is a force that governs the expression of the higher "I". In one way or another, during this transit, a person receives a request from society to take part in changing existing conditions in the cultural, social or spiritual sphere. The position of the South Node points to an easy way to fulfill your desires for activities with an emphasis on personal success. Integration of personal creative opportunities for the benefit of society will become a factor of positive development, which can lead to a change in lifestyle. During the transit, it will be necessary to unite with like-minded people for the sake of joint activities.

North Node in 12th House, South Node in 6th House - You can detect the subtle influence of others, either for good or for evil; or people can force you to look deeper into yourself. This is a good time to analyze who you are associated with. The final phase of the cycle of nodes with positive development draws the person's attention to his sense of collective and social responsibility. Sometimes past karma, unfinished business or results social activities the previous 9 years can provoke a crisis. Through the reflection that accompanies the process of reassessing achievements, a person can come to an understanding of the true value of what has been done and thought out from the beginning of the cycle in the light of public benefit. Based on this understanding, even if it has negative character, a person will get ready for a new cycle with the consciousness of the tasks ahead, that. The area of ​​least resistance is indicated by the position of the South Node in the 6th house. If a person has not managed to get rid of the inner need for dependence, it will be difficult for him to shoulder the burden of social responsibility that suppresses his will. Addiction blocks the energy source.

Alchemy

Alchemical rituals are mainly aimed at helping to reform the energies within ourselves, and since knots represent relationships, it is doubtful whether we can directly influence others in the same way. People don't always prefer to follow your script, but perhaps an alchemical technique that you can use to connect with others is visualization. Create in your mind details of the relationship that are acceptable to you.

There is, however, another, more direct alternative. Pay attention to the action of the transit nodes in your chart, taking into account both the positions in the houses and aspects to the natal planets and points. Then you can make an effort to communicate with other people in terms of the planets, points and houses involved in the situation. If someone is going to have some influence on your sense of responsibility (Saturn), need for independence (Uranus), desire for growth (Jupiter), etc., why not help decide who it will be?

Or consider what issues might be highlighted and explore potential alternatives to prepare for what might come. It is possible to just sit and wait and watch what others are going to do to you, but it may be more satisfying for you to have some voice in the interactions. In this way, you can select the right people to contact and avoid possible problems or, at the very least, be prepared to deal with questions that someone else will ask you to explore.

The Moon Node squares are very important. They form T-squares and make you aware of your pressing concerns. You cannot leave your problems and will come back again and again to the South Node and need to develop the North Node.

Some people ignore the past experience of the South Node and do not use the capabilities of the North Node if the Nodes are not stimulated (not accented). But when you have a square, you have to "make a deal" with polarity. The planet at the top of the T-square integrates, collects energy (force). On a spiritual level, this stimulates your development.

Most people follow the lead at their South Node. Trines and sextiles to the Nodes "spray" the energy of the Nodes, and there is a tendency to adhere to the line of least resistance.

With a cluster of planets at the South Node, you will have to "fight" with yourself to grow. I adhere to the "astrology of my own discovery" and I believe that the Nodes give an attitude to their own growth.
Accentuation of the South Node often gives a direction that does not satisfy or prevents us from moving along the path of growth, gaining new experience, but, of course, I understand that there are as many directions as there are planets in the Node.

I take the view of the South Node as a point of regression pushing us back into the "swamp" and do not consider it a huge value. But, in fact, everything in the card should be valuable and worthy. The South Node is the core of our personality at the cellular level. This is what we brought from our past lives and our primary survival mechanism in childhood. When we are tired, depressed, sad or stressed, we rely on our South Node. This is our path of self-stabilization, it gives us a solid support, a pivot in our life.

None of us can stay awake all the time. We all need unconscious (automatic) actions, and we do them most of the time. We can use our South Node unconsciously to help restore, find our balance. But it works against us if we live only by this, i.e. if we are only concerned with our own calmness.

What about the dilemma of the presence of planets in conjunction with the South Node? If, for example, you have a stellium at the South Node, then you can enter the situation determined by this pattern (configuration). The difficulty here is that we have real clues from our South Node that we need to determine what other people will appreciate in us. Other people push me to my South Node, they want me to make maps. With all my Virgo, I make cards in the Virgo style. Very painstaking therapeutic work, especially when I listen to other people's feelings and empathize with them at my North Node in Pisces.

Just because something is difficult or easy does not mean that it is bad. We only need to create a balance between the two energies. When people are too busy with their South Node (deep in its problems) their life looks like a detached, falling, and they feel trapped in the old ways of being. I like to think of using the South Node, but towards the target of the North Node. What do people believe in their life task or purpose in life? They very often represent it in a way that corresponds to their South Node. Perhaps this is because the South Node was their North Node in the past. This is what you know about yourself as a gift (a sign of attention of fate), you do it well, and someone will say: "This is great!" Do it more, or keep doing it. But you have already developed this skill. This is the trap.

We get the most satisfying experience when using both Nodes at the same time. This can be done during the period of the progressive planets connecting with the North Node. Transits and progressions of the North Node can be used to create new life experiences, of course, provided that you are open to it and do not sit at home. When the influence of the North Node comes, I always say: “It is a creative time for new achievements, open yourself to the possibilities related to this part of life”, because at this moment you can attract the integrated experience and purpose of life (through the Home where the transit occurs).

The transit of the Lunar Nodes on a person's natal chart captures and processes hundreds of emotional outbursts. It is striking that one significator is capable of assimilating and coordinating such a variety of feelings, giving meaning to the inner and emotional evolution of a person.

The Natal Moon shows the nature of feelings. The moon is the receiver of all sensory experience. For the Moon, the Lunar Nodes are like hands stretched out into the sublunary world to touch and embrace reality. When touched, the sensors on the fingers of our hands transmit information to the brain, where it is ordered and registered for subsequent calls to it. Lunar Nodes also touch the experience and direct the received sensation to the Moon, where information is accumulated.
Once in the "lunar archive", feelings become a kind of wealth of the moon. The moon keeps them, and after years extracts them in order to examine, remember each impression, clean it of dust, count, evaluate, and add to the collection.

Position of the Lunar Nodes in the natal chart

Natal Lunar Nodes are immutable and specific like a drawing on our palms. Their position in the House and sign, control, aspectation are recorded in the natal chart and show how you transmit your experience to the Moon.

For example, the Lunar Nodes in Pisces / Virgo provide information about the ability to listen and focus, or about organizing and caring for others as a means of accomplishing something.

Lunar Nodes in Scorpio / Taurus give information about a strong need for physiological, deep questioning and constant self-esteem. As a consequence of this, it is possible to care about the art of communication or manipulate people with the help of themselves. The natal position of the South Node gives an indication of which experience is easy and comfortable for the individual; the position of the North Node indicates areas where a person's senses struggle to find new forms for their self-expression.

The South Node can often be interpreted as a second moon. It will seem to many that he describes the nature of their feelings as well as the natal Moon.

A common feeling can be used to describe the North Node:

I really would like to do all of this, but I don’t have the time (dare not or don’t have the courage) to do it now because of all the other necessary things.

Meeting the challenges of the North Node is often the most emotionally satisfying experience. The upbringing received in the family shows how a person uses the Lunar Knot, what he feels comfortable and normal for himself. The North Node indicates what a person needs in this life in order to satisfy the need for emotional pleasure. The position of the natal South Node shows where for this person there is a tendency to retreat or maintain the status quo in situations that are convenient for it.
For a person raised (to act and feel) in a certain way, it is easy to repeat what he is used to when he feels that he is being threatened, that he is deceived or is in a stressful state. We stick to our South Node more often than respond to the challenges of the North Node.

Lunar Node Transits

First of all, you need to study the natal chart, the positions of the planets and House cusps and find out which areas of the chart can be visited by the Lunar Nodes.

I also take into account the position of the progression of the planets, as well as the planets ruled by the solar arc, and the positions in the natal chart of transit Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto.
Only the Nodes move clockwise, and all other transits move counterclockwise. It is necessary to pay attention to the aspects formed by the North and South Nodes when they transit across the map axis.

Lunar Nodes pass through opposite Houses approximately every 1 - 1.5 years, depending on the size of the Houses. During the transit of the Lunar Node through any axis of the map, various aspects will be formed to the significant objects of the entire map simultaneously by the North and South Nodes, which will enable a person to experience many emotions associated with the corresponding Houses.

When the Node is close to the formation of any aspect, you can pay attention to what happened with the previous connection or the main aspect - from 4 to 5 years ago, from 9 to 10 years or from 18 to 18.5 years. This will help to find out what wealth, stored by the Moon, will be raised from the archive for new research and revaluation. Then, after restoration and correction with the help of new information, they will be sent back for long-term storage.

During the transit of Nodes through various signs and Houses, a person can emotionally react to similar situations in a new way or stop at the same situation that was during a similar transit in the past. Feeling a threat or danger, a person immediately seeks to find security in the energy of the South Node. Looking back at some period of your life, you will notice that now your emotional energy may manifest itself completely differently than before.

This is due to the fact that transit Nodes, entering new Houses, bring other aspects of the emotional response to the same beliefs or patterns of behavior. Feelings and currently perceived reality can change so much that in 9-10 years they will contain new nuances and may turn out to be a different reality.

Transits of planets

Planetary transits bring the factor of eventfulness into the natal chart. Thus, transiting Saturn brings with it many instructive practical lessons. The opportunity to get a new job, marry, find new house and / or acting appropriately and methodically are all possible results of Saturn's influence. Saturn sets the lessons, and the position of your natal and transit Lunar Nodes determines how you will respond to these lessons.

Let's say you're laid off and forced to look for a new job. The reactions to this experience can be different. The situation can be perceived as a happy opportunity to make moves that you simply would not have noticed before. For example, you would not leave your job because of responsibility to the company or out of a desire for personal financial security and thus miss out on the chance to start something new. Or, on the contrary, you may feel completely unhappy: poverty is around the corner, how do you pay the bills? You choose how you feel to respond to these circumstances of your life.

What exactly you will feel in connection with a given situation is determined by the current transits of the Nodes. The understanding of the situation and the assessment of sensory perception are completed when the transit Node enters conjunction with a point on the map, aspected by Saturn at the time of the event. Where Saturn gives a lesson, there the Nodes make it possible to feel something in what is happening.

There are many radical and transit planets in your chart at any given time. The sun shows how our ego develops and how concretely our individuality can become; Mercury - how our thinking is expressed, how we read or otherwise come into contact with other people; Venus - our attitude to money problems, our sense of self-esteem, problems with the value system; Mars speaks about our activity, about what we want to do in order to get what we want in life; Jupiter - about how we feel about the expansion of our reality, our life, family, beliefs, etc .; Saturn provides lessons in discipline and structure; Uranus brings the unexpected - an unusual idea, something funny, something not planned in advance; Neptune enables us to dream and expand our awareness; Pluto, with its inherent slowness, expresses compressed, compressed energy and an impulse for change, transformation, re-creation.

The nodes in transit on the map say with which area of ​​life the work is currently going on to integrate all this experience and human reactions to various influences.

Transiting planets bring experience. The nodes during transit in opposite directions absorb experience, feed the Moon with information, which makes it possible to generalize and build the experience into a general life picture. The nodes move slowly, giving us the opportunity to tap into the experience or what will happen when the transit planet forms an aspect in the chart.

The transit of the Lunar Nodes begins to be felt when approaching the natal significator at about 3 - 4 degrees and for 1 - 2 degrees when approaching the planet of the secondary progression, to a direct planet along the solar arc or to a transit planet forming an aspect to natal planets. Their approach to the cusp of the natal House begins to be felt at about 3-4 degrees of the exact cusp. The difference in the positions of the transit Node is usually felt only 0.5 - 1 degree before the focus of the transit Node aligns with the next planet or cusp. The North Node transit brings the feeling “I have to” or “I want”, and the South Node transit brings the feeling “I feel good”, “I feel safe here”.

Lunar Node Transits by Home

Now let's see how the transit nodes move along the individual map. Natal Houses, through which the Nodes pass, indicate an area of ​​life that acquires a sharply individual emotional orientation. Cardinal corners of the map are the most sensitive for transit nodes. When the Nodes approach the 10/4 axis and prepare to enter Houses 9/3, a person experiences the energy of a drastic change, and this is what he experiences in his personal life. The North Lunar Node in the 10th House brings questions: how do others see me, what I do in life, how my social contribution is assessed, how all this affects my personal life, family, home, the foundation of life that I am trying to build. Perhaps I have focused too much on the desire to achieve something and now, when the Node is in 9/3, I begin to look at it more philosophically, assessing the significance of my efforts to understand the philosophical aspects of the 10/4 experience.

Transit through 3 and 9 Houses

After the Nodes enter Houses 9/3, I begin to analyze my efforts and tell wherever possible what I am striving to achieve. If at the same time it is not possible to catch something that reinforces and strengthens my experience 10/4, I begin to explore this opportunity, asking and receiving additional information from various teachers. Looking back, I see how others are getting closer to their results, I am interested in these people, and the emphasis shifts from my own achievements to the progress of a large community.

It may turn out that I want to travel, interact with people from different countries, adherents of different worldviews. Perhaps I will begin to communicate with older relatives, I may develop an interest in where they came from and how they lived before, what they studied and what they believe now. I can marry someone of a different culture than mine. As the transit continues, I can begin to share knowledge, drawing it from the accumulated life experience. By expressing my thoughts in writing, orally, teaching, I will share them and communicate with my world at different levels.

Transit through 2 and 8 Houses

As the Nodes approach the axis of Houses 8/2, I begin to look for support in the outside world from those around me. I feel that I need to accumulate a fortune, I notice that I need other people to complete my undertakings. It is possible to refer to the spiritual values ​​accumulated by me, to compare them with the values ​​of other people. Maybe I would like to make judgments on these issues. I will also focus on the need to strengthen my personal relationships by striving for deep, emotional and physiological connections with people. I will enter into interaction with my own psyche, maybe I will encounter other occult phenomena. It is possible that the problems of life, death, trials, the past will become part of my reality, questions of my own value as an individual or monetary well-being in comparison with others may arise in front of me. For me, real life pleasures will acquire great importance - flowers, blue skies, a walk in the rain, I will pay more attention to myself and try to provide myself with what is necessary for my own safety.

Transit through 1 and 7 Houses

With the approach of the Nodes to the axis of Houses 7/1, the importance of interpersonal relations increases. Suddenly new people will appear in my life, it will be necessary to establish connections with them. There will be a desire to do something together with others and for others, to take care of their well-being. Or, perhaps, in order to achieve balance in life, I must learn to say "no" or "yes" in order to express what I need. At the same time, I may find myself involved in conflicts with people or with the law.

I will begin to understand that interactions require a mutual exchange of energy. If at the moment I am not interacting with anyone, then I am busy looking for contacts. When interacting, I take into account whether the contact is balanced, and if this is not so, I try to change the situation, or stop interaction, if necessary, in order to move on through life. The closer the Nodes are to the 1/7 axis, the more intensely all this is felt. Many at this point disagree, or the relationship between them becomes more significant.

Transit through 6 and 12 Houses

As the Nodes get closer to Houses 6/12, the focus shifts again. Now that I have the right relationships, I begin to establish a stable life order. I am aware of the relentless running of time, I am better aware of my age, appearance, habits, diet and all the variety of factors related to lifestyle.

When I receive blows from all sides in the form of various demands that take up my time, I try to help everyone around me, or give them good advice (often perceived as nit-picking).

I try to be in several places at once; in order to carve out personal time, I strive to organize my affairs and sort out my duties that are unnecessary and time-consuming. I want to define what I am doing for life and answer the questions "why" constantly knocking in my mind.

Transit through 5 and 11 Houses

Transit through 4 and 10 Houses

As the Nodes approach 4/10 Houses, I am reminded of the lessons of the past again. I remember that I am not only an individual, but also a member of a group called a family. I have cultural heritage, family ties, responsibility, housing to pay for, jobs and careers that require my attention, family to feed, etc. Reality is approaching. I explore and analyze this reality of mine, my daily life. I understand that I must consolidate my strength with those of my relatives in order to get their support. I study the rules and regulations received from parents and society, and focus on who I am in family and community structures. As the Nodes traverse the IC / MC line, I will face the main problem of the structure of my life and how I would like to see this structure. The decisions made during this time will color my emotional experience for the next 18.5 years.

When the Nodes penetrate into Houses 3/9, I talk with people about the experience of the past 4 - 4.5 years, I share my discoveries, I can write about this experience. In any case, the accumulated experience is, as it were, blown by a fresh wind. I analyze and justify this experience. I find that my speech is smooth.

I am interested in many things, I strive for new information, I read, watch TV, listen to the radio, I am angry with my deputies, I restore contact with the world of my contemporaries. I participate in the lives of those around me, listen to their problems and, as it were, provide a sounding scene for their thoughts. They are all my brothers and sisters, and I am worried about what happens to them, whether they are at my house or on the other side of the world.

When Nodes move to 2/8 Houses, I focus on what I need to acquire and do in order to maintain and preserve what I have acquired. I pay attention to myself, to what others think of me or are going to give me. My whole system of values ​​is in the center of my attention, in order to subsequently fade away, expand or embellish. I do not want to lose anything, neither material nor my beliefs. How much should I get for work, what am I worth in the labor market? I come to the need to relax and find time for fine arts and beauty, for my own appearance, for what delights me in others and that I would like to include in my life.

Nodes included in Houses 1/7 provide an opportunity to look back at all the experience accumulated over the past 18.5 years, and evaluate ourselves in connection with the emotional information received throughout the transit. I become the "Napoleon" of my life. That I love? What kind of people do I need in my life? How do they enrich my experience? I'm an important person, listen to me. By checking how I feel about the connections in my life, I focus on myself. What do I want in life? If you can remember the time when the North Node transited in the first House, pay attention to what you wanted for yourself then, because it was during these 1 - 1.5 years that you made plans, formed ideas, wanted something. And your success in achieving what you want can be assessed by the transit of Nodes in the Houses in which they are currently located.

When the Nodes cross the 1/7 axis, we again, as pioneers of the spirit, find ourselves fully focused and ready to enter the world in order to build life as we wish, confident in our strengths, aware of future possibilities and confident that we will fully use them.

When the Nodes enter the 12/6 House, we will have time to consolidate forces and combine feelings of individualism and collectivism on a spiritual level. We think over our goals, realize our potential, take care of ourselves: about our body, mind, spirit. We have the opportunity to get help from people. We are able to perceive the inner voice speaking to all of us. We listen, understand and take pride in being. If we do not succumb to the pressure of the South Node, which transits through the Sixth House, when it forces too much energy to be directed to caring for people, then we will enter the next arena of emotional experience as whole individuals, ready for anything.

As we cross the North Node through House 11, we again feel the pressure of having to share our destiny with others. We realize that our own “I” can participate in the growth and spiritualization of the world around us, we feel the need to connect with people and participate in the creation of a new world or a new worldview.

Friendship is suddenly formed with new and unusual people. Learning about the world inspires or overwhelms us. We take care of the world in broad sense, whether it be the homeland, the environment, neighbors or the friends of our friends.

A lot of impressions and people meet us when we move from self-confidence to the desire to connect with the world around us. Nodes come in 10/4, and we begin to realize that we can take responsibility, become more active, speak out for our beliefs, and demand to be heard. We find the courage to express ourselves and devote a lot of energy to understanding and shaping our future.

The opposite phase and the return of the nodes to their place are karmic periods when a person who does not follow the path of evolution receives a warning or punishment for not fulfilling his karmic program.

Transit Ascending Node along the radix Lilith.

It's always bad. All vices creep out. For a person of high programs, everything that remains hidden in him becomes clear, and he knows what he needs to fight with, what he needs to finally get rid of in himself.

It is during this period that higher forces help him in this, and one must be able to use this transit for spiritual growth (1 time in 19 years). In other periods of life, it is difficult for a person alone, without help from above, to break through our black egregor, which prevents everything bright, and it is necessary to enter the spiritual path with positive transits of Selena. And a person who has embarked on the bright path will already constantly receive support from the light forces in all his light, good deeds. For a person of a low spiritual level, the transit of Rahu through Selene will not give anything, but will interfere with the implementation of his plans, which leads to disappointment and new difficulties.

Astrological Packer

I called the transit of lunar nodes according to a person's natal chart the "packing effect". I am fascinated by the picture of the movement of the energetic little "packer" along the zodiacal circle, which during the transit cycle of the lunar nodes, which consists of 18.6 years, captures and processes hundreds of emotional outbursts. It is striking that one significator is capable of assimilating and coordinating such a variety of feelings, giving meaning to the inner and emotional evolution of a person.

The Natal Moon shows the nature of feelings. The moon is the receiver of all sensory experience. For the Moon, lunar nodes are like hands stretched out into the sublunary world to touch and embrace reality. When touched, the sensors on the fingers of our hands transmit information to the brain, where it is ordered and registered for subsequent calls to it. Lunar nodes also touch the experience and direct the received sensation to the Moon, where information is accumulated.

Once in the "lunar archive", feelings become a kind of wealth of the moon. The moon keeps them and retrieves them years later in order to examine, remember each impression, clean it of dust, recount, evaluate, add to the collection.

Natal knot positions

Like human hands with their individual fingerprints, touch, grip, sensitivity, unchangeable and specific, like a drawing on our palms. Their position in the house and sign, control, aspect are fixed in and show, how do you communicate your experience to the moon... For example, the natal Moon in Gemini is associated with sensory perceptions through communication with people, with the need to share information, with a feeling of comfort in various situations; she is a curious, questioning, active young Luna who wants to participate in many projects and interact with many people.

Lunar nodes in Pisces and Virgo provide information about the ability to listen and focus, or about organizing and caring for others as a means of doing something.

Lunar nodes in Scorpio / Taurus provide information about a strong need for physiological, in-depth questioning and constant self-esteem. As a consequence of this, it is possible to care about the art of communication or manipulate people with the help of themselves.

In these examples, the Moon in Gemini teaches us to acquire the functions of this sign, but using different means. Depending on the position of the Moon in the house, its nodes and aspects to them, we strive for our specific goal.

Natal position of the south node gives an indication of what kind of experience is easy and comfortable for the person;
north node position indicates areas where a person's feelings are fighting for finding new forms for his self-expression.

The South Node can often be interpreted as a second moon.... It will seem to many that he describes the nature of their feelings as well as the natal Moon.

When describing the North Node, the feeling often arises: “I really would like to do all this, but I don’t have the time (dare not or don’t have the courage) to do it now because of all the other necessary things.” Meeting the challenges of the north node often brings the greatest emotional satisfaction.

The upbringing received in his own family shows how a person uses the lunar node - what he feels comfortable for himself and normal.The north node indicates what a person needs in this life in order to satisfy the need for emotional pleasure.The position of the natal south node indicates where a given person will tend to retreat or maintain the status quo in situations that are convenient for him.

For a person raised (to act and feel) in a certain way, it is easy to repeat the familiar when he feels that he is being threatened, that he is fooled or in a difficult situation. We stick to our south node more often than answer calls to the north node.

Transit Node Structures

To learn more about the structures formed by the transit lunar nodes, you need to know where the places of "feeding" are located, and from them you can determine what will be absorbed by our "packer".

First of all, you need to study the positions of the planets and house cusps and find out which areas of the map can be visited by the lunar nodes.

I also take into account:

• - position of planetary progressions
• - planets in the directions of the solar arc,
• - positions in the natal chart of transit Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto.

Only nodes move clockwise, and all other transits move counterclockwise.... You need to pay attention on the aspects formed by the north and south nodes when they transit through the axes of the map.

Lunar nodes pass through opposite houses approximately every 1 - 1.5 years depending on the size of the houses. When the lunar node passes through any axis of the map, various aspects will be formed to the significant objects of the entire map by the north and south nodes at the same time, which will enable a person to experience many emotions associated with the corresponding houses.

Natal aspects

When a knot is close to the formation of any aspect, you can pay attention to what happened with the previous connection or major aspect - from 4 to 5 years ago, from 9 to 10 years, or from 18 to 19 years. This will help to find out what riches stored by the Moon will be raised from the archive for new research and revaluation before sending them back for long-term storage after restoration and correction with the help of new information.

During the transit of nodes through various signs and houses, a person can emotionally react to similar situations in a new way or stop at the same situation that was during a similar transit in the past. Feeling a threat or danger, a person immediately seeks to find security in the energy of the southern node. Looking back at some period of your life, you will notice that now your emotional energy may manifest itself completely differently than before.

This is due to the fact that transit nodes, entering new homes, bring different aspects of the emotional response to the same beliefs or patterns of behavior. Feelings and currently perceived reality can change so much that in 9-10 years they will contain new nuances and turn out to be a different reality.

Transits of planets

Transits of planets bring the factor of eventfulness into the natal chart... Thus, transiting Saturn brings with it many instructive practical lessons. The opportunity to get a new job, get married, find a new home and / or act consistently and methodically are all possible results of the influence of Saturn. Saturn sets the lessons, and the position of your natal and transit lunar nodes determines how you will respond to these lessons.... Let's say you're fired and forced to look for a new job - reactions to this experience can vary. The situation can be perceived as a happy opportunity to take moves that you simply would not have noticed before, for example, you would not leave your job because of responsibility to the company or out of a desire for personal financial security and thereby miss out on the chance to start something new. Or, on the contrary, you may feel completely unhappy: poverty is around the corner, how do you pay the bills? You choose how you feel to respond to these circumstances of your life.

How exactly will you feel about this situation? is determined by the current transits of the nodes. The understanding of the situation and the assessment of sensory perception will be completed when the transit node enters into conjunction with a point on the map that was aspected by Saturn at the time of the event. Where Saturn gives a lesson, there knots make it possible to feel something in what is happening. For some time you may not feel anything, but the nodes eventually aspect this point, "devour" the prey, feed the Moon with information, and as a result your feeling will arise.

At every moment in time, there are many radical and transit planets in our chart.
The sun shows how our Ego develops and what concrete our individuality can become;
Mercury- how our thinking is expressed, how we read or otherwise come into contact with other people;
Venus- our attitude to money problems, our sense of self-esteem, problems with the value system;
Mars talks about our activity, about what we want to do in order to get what we want in life;
Jupiter- about how we feel about the expansion of our reality, our life, family, beliefs, etc .;
Saturn gives lessons in discipline and structure;
Uranus brings the unexpected - an unusual idea, something funny, something not planned in advance;
Neptune makes it possible to dream and expand our awareness;
Pluto with its characteristic slowness, it expresses compressed, compressed energy and an impulse for change, transformation, recreation.
The nodes in transit on the map say with which area of ​​life the work is currently going on to integrate all this experience and human reactions to various influences.

Transiting planets bring experience.During transit in the opposite direction, the nodes absorb experience, feed the Moon with information, which makes it possible to generalize and build the experience into a general life picture.The nodes move slowly, giving us the opportunity to be included in the experience or in what will happen when the transit planet forms an aspect in the chart.

Effects of nodes in transit

Let you have a transit Mars in the 6th house. You lost your job when it squares with Saturn and are forced to look for a new job. You find it, start working, meet new people, perform new duties, establish a new daily routine, route to and from work, a budget corresponding to new earnings. Now let the lunar transit north node trine with the place in your chart on the 10/4 house axis where Mars squares with Saturn. When the transit north node trine is exactly close to the point where Mars squares with Saturn, you will most likely begin to feel that everything is going for the best, that your career is progressing well, you have an excellent job that provides professional opportunities, attracts people to business contacts. with you, providing a good income. At the same time, the south node in the 4th house can make you feel like while your career is on the rise, you apparently cannot devote as much time to your family as you would like. a new job takes more effort and time.

You assimilate all this experience through trines and sextiles of the lunar nodes to the place where the transit Mars is located, your Moon receives all this information from the north and south nodes and now has a certain feeling about this process, a feeling that will be stored in it in the form of wealth. memory bank. If you ever have a similar experience again, your Luna will return to it, explore and give you hope to safely find another job - but also the fear that a new job may cause emotional conflict in family relationships.

Now let's say that your friend experienced a similar situation with the loss of work due to the Mars-Saturn square when the lunar node approaches the square with the 2/8 axis of the houses in his natal chart.

The feelings that his natal Moon should perceive, apparently, will be stress and anger due to the fact that external forces have disturbed the usual order, discomfort from a new situation. Perhaps there will be a desire to stay in this situation for a while, to look for another job; feelings of uncertainty about their position in the labor market may also arise. In this case, the wealth accumulated by the Moon will be of a different nature, and if a similar situation occurs in the future, feelings of chagrin and uncertainty will arise.

Lunar nodes transit begins to feel:
- when approaching the natal significator in about 3-4 degrees
- in 1-2 degrees when approaching a planet of a secondary progression, to a directional planet along a solar arc or to a transit planet that forms an aspect to natal planets
- the approach to the cusp of the natal house begins to be felt about 3-4 degrees before the exact connection to the cusp.

The difference in the positions of the transit node is usually felt only 0.5 ° - 1 ° before the focus of the transit node aligns with the next planet or cusp. The transit of the north node brings the feeling "I have to" or "I wish", and the transit of the south node - "Feel good", "Feel safe here."

Node transits to homes

Now let's see how transit nodes move along the individual map. Natal houses, through which nodes transit, indicate an area of ​​life that is acquiring a sharply individual emotional orientation. Cardinal corners of the map are the most sensitive for transit nodes. When the nodes approaching the MC / IC axis and they are preparing to enter houses 9/3, a person experiences the energy of a sharp change, and this is what he experiences in his personal life. The north lunar node in the 10th house brings questions: how do others see me, what I do in life, how my social contribution is assessed, how all this affects my personal life, family, home, the foundation of life that I am trying to build. Perhaps I have become too focused on the desire to achieve something and now, when entering the node in 9/3, I begin to look at it more philosophically, assessing the significance of my efforts to understand the philosophical aspects of the experience of 10/4 houses.

After the nodes enter at houses 9/3, I begin to analyze my efforts and where I can tell what I am striving to achieve. If at the same time it is not possible to catch something that strengthens and strengthens my experience of 10/4 houses, I begin to explore this opportunity, ask and receive additional information from various teachers. Looking back, I see how others are getting closer to their results, I am interested in these people, and the emphasis shifts from my own achievements to the progress of a large community. It may turn out that I want to travel, interact with people from different countries, adherents of different worldviews. Perhaps I will begin to communicate with older relatives, I may develop an interest in where they came from and how they lived before, what they studied and what they believe now. I can marry someone of a different culture than mine. As the transit continues, I can begin to share knowledge, drawing it from the accumulated life experience. By expressing my thoughts in writing, orally, teaching, I will share them and communicate with my world at different levels.

When nodes approach the axis 8/2 houses cards, I begin to look for support in the outside world from others. I feel that I need to accumulate a fortune, I notice that I need other people to complete my undertakings. Perhaps an appeal to the spiritual values ​​accumulated by me, comparing them with the values ​​of other people, and I may be able to express my judgments on these problems. I will also focus on the need to strengthen my personal relationships by striving for deep, emotional and physiological connections with people. I will enter into interaction with my own psyche, maybe I will encounter "deja vu" or with some occult phenomena. It is possible that the problems of life, death, trials, the past will become part of my reality, questions of my own value as an individual or monetary well-being in comparison with others may arise in front of me. For me, real life pleasures will acquire great importance - flowers, blue skies, a walk in the rain, I will pay more attention to myself and try to provide myself with what is necessary for my own safety.

With the nodes approaching the axis 7/1 houses the importance of interpersonal relations is increasing. Suddenly new people will appear in my life, it will be necessary to establish connections with them. There will be a desire to do something together with others and for others, to take care of their well-being. Or, perhaps, in order to achieve balance in life, I must learn to say "no" or "yes" in order to express what I need. At the same time, I may be involved in conflicts with people or with the law. I will begin to understand that interactions require a mutual exchange of energy. If at the moment I am not interacting with anyone, then I am busy looking for contacts. When interacting, I take into account whether the contact is balanced, and if this is not so, I try to change the situation, or stop interaction, if necessary, in order to move on through life. The closer the nodes are to the 1/7 axis, the more intensely all this is felt. Many at this point disagree, or the relationship becomes more significant.

When the knots get closer to houses 6/12, the focus shifts again. Now that I have the right relationships, I begin to establish a stable life order. I am aware of the relentless running of time, I am better aware of my age, appearance, habits, diet and all the variety of factors associated with lifestyle. When I receive blows from all sides in the form of various demands that take up my time, I try to help everyone around me or give them good advice (often perceived as nit-picking). I try to be in several places at once in order to carve out personal time, I strive to organize my affairs and sort out my duties that are unnecessary and time-consuming. I want to define what I am doing for life and answer the questions "why" constantly knocking in my mind.

When the knots get closer to houses 4/10 I am reminded of the lessons of the past again. I remember that I am not only an individual, but also a member of a group called a family. I have cultural heritage, family ties, responsibility, housing to pay for, jobs and careers that require my attention, family to feed, etc. Reality is approaching. I explore and analyze this reality of mine, my daily life. I understand that I am called upon to consolidate my strengths with those of my relatives in order to get their support. I study the rules and regulations received from parents and society, and focus on who I am in family and community structures. As the nodes traverse the IC / MC line, I will face the main problem - the problem of the structure of my life and how I would like to see this structure, and the decisions made at this time will color my emotional experience for the next eighteen and a half years.

When knots penetrate at home 3/9 I talk with people about the experience of the past 4.5 years, I share my discoveries, I can write about this experience. In any case, the accumulated experience is, as it were, blown by a fresh wind. I analyze and justify this experience. I find that my speech is smooth. I am interested in many things, I strive for new information, I read, watch TV, listen to the radio, I am angry with my deputies, I restore contact with the world of my contemporaries. I participate in the lives of those around me, listen to their problems and, as it were, provide a sounding scene for their thoughts. They are all my brothers and sisters, and I worry about what happens to them, whether they are at my doorstep or on the other side of the world.

When the nodes move in houses 2/8, I focus on what I need to acquire and do in order to maintain and preserve what I have acquired. I pay attention to myself, to what others think of me or are going to give me. My whole system of values ​​is in the center of my attention, so that later it will come to naught, expand or embellish, and I do not want to lose anything, neither material nor my convictions. How much should I get for work, what am I worth in the labor market? I come to the need to relax and find time for fine arts and beauty, for my own appearance, for what delights me in others and that I would like to include in my life.

Inbound nodes at home 1/7, provide an opportunity to look back at all the experience accumulated over the past eighteen and a half years and evaluate oneself in connection with the emotional information received throughout the transit. I become the "Napoleon" of my life. That I love? What kind of people do I need in my life? How do they enrich my experience? I'm an important person, listen to me. By checking how I feel about the connections in my life, I focus on myself. What do I want in life? If you can remember the time when the north junction was in transit through the first house, pay attention to what you wanted for yourself then, because it was during these one and a half years that you made plans, formed ideas, wanted something. And your success in achieving what you want can be judged by the transit of nodes in the houses in which they are currently located.

When the nodes cross ASC-DSC axle, we again, as pioneers of the spirit, find ourselves fully focused and ready to enter the world in order to build a life as we wish, are confident in our strengths, aware of future possibilities and are confident that we will fully use them.
When the nodes come in at 12/6 at home, we have time to consolidate forces, to combine feelings of individualism and collectivism on the spiritual level. We think over our goals, realize our potential, take care of ourselves - about our body, mind, spirit. We have the ability to get help from people. we have the opportunity to perceive the inner voice speaking to all of us. We listen, understand and take pride in being. If we do not succumb to the pressure of the south node, which is transiting through the sixth house, when it forces too much energy to be directed to caring for people, then we will enter the next arena of emotional experience as whole individuals, ready for anything.

When passing the north node 11th house we again feel the pressure to share our destiny with others. We realize that our own "I" can participate in the growth and spiritualization of the world around us, we feel the need to connect with people and participate in the creation of a new world or a new worldview. Friendship is suddenly formed with new and unusual people. Learning about the world inspires or overwhelms us. We care about the world in a broad sense, be it the homeland, the environment, neighbors or friends of our friends.

A lot of impressions and people meet us when we move away from self-confidence to the desire to connect with the world around us. The nodes are in 10/4 of the house, and we begin to realize that we can take responsibility, become more active, speak up for our beliefs and demand to be heard. We find the courage to express ourselves and devote a lot of energy to understanding and shaping our future.
