Moon's Nodes Astrology
north node, karma and spiritual evolution
The Moon's Nodes are virtual points that represent the intersection of the
Moon's orbit with the Earth's orbit around the Sun (the ecliptic). From a
geocentric perspective, the Nodes are the direct result of the motion of the
Moon and the Sun around our planet.
The Sun is the Soul, our spiritual part. The Moon is the Body, our material
part. Where these two, the Soul and the Body intersect, the Life on this
physical level, in this universe, appears. The physical life cannot exist
without the body, nor without the soul. The Nodes are from this perspective THE
LIFE ITSELF !
We should consider them as waves, in a continuum that comes from our habit
patterns (South Node) and moves towards an evolution of qualities we need to be
developed (North Node), or as particles, considering them just as two points in
space, the past and the future; maybe as a wave-particle duality as stated in
modern physics.
Their influence relates to the spiritual dimension of our lives, the one that
leads to our spiritual fulfillment, to the Divinity from ourselves.
They are considered as planets in the Vedic astrology, but I don't think that
is correct, they are *different* from the planets as they represent the
intersection between the ecliptic and the Moon's orbit. Also the Moon's Nodes
exaltation is traditionally in Sagittarius and Gemini, and that's again somehow
wrong because the nodes are virtual points therefore cannot be assigned a real
zodiacal sign.
The maximum vibration axis for the Nodes is 0 Cancer - 0 Capricorn. The point
of 0 Cancer is assigned to the South Node, while 0 Capricorn to the North Node.
The Sabian Symbol of this degree is "AN INDIAN CHIEF CLAIMS POWER FROM THE
ASSEMBLED TRIBE". When we look at the symbol for its antiscion, its counterpart
(SAGITTARIUS 30), "THE POPE BLESSING THE FAITHFUL", we get to see the big
picture, the real nature of this point. These degrees are in antiscia which acts
like a kind of conjunction - so the entire story of this degree would be that
"Someone (the Indian chief) claims its power WHILE being blessed by God (the
Pope)".
So it means acting according to the Will of God ! That's exactly the meaning
of the North Node.
The nodes are about spiritual evolution, evolution in general, they act like
an axis of energy and information, of a very complex cosmic, spiritual nature
that show us the direction of the Life flow through our natal chart. That's why
the North Node's domicile is between Sagittarius (the deep understanding of life
and all its manifestations) and Capricorn (the will and the power to enact)
while the South Node's domicile is between Gemini (superficial, limited
knowledge) and Cancer (traditions and customs).
Plato says that the soul comes into embodiment through Cancer and exits
through Capricorn. The physical body of a child enters the world from the
mother's perineum (ano-genital area) which is be associated with the South Node
and exits this world when the brain's death occur, the head being associated
with the North Node.
The 0 Capricorn - 0 Cancer axis is the solstice axis, an axis of symmetry of
the Sun's declinations along its yearly cycle. Two points situated on one and
the other side of the solstice axis are in considered in antiscia, relationship
that acts similar to a conjunction only in a more subtle way. The points in
antiscia are points where the Sun in its yearly transit has the same
declination. The Sun is the Life giver, our source of light and energy and its
declination is a measure of intensity of that light and energy.
There is a strong relationship between this theory on the Moon's Nodes, the
declination theory and the traditional concept of antiscia.
When projected by the transiting Sun's declination on the solstice axis, the
zodiac will become an axis with two ends in 0 Capricorn and in 0 Cancer, divided
in 6 regions where the signs of the zodiac are projected (Capricorn and
Sagittarius together, Aquarius and Scorpio together and so on).
It is not clearly established why, but it seems like the number 6 is very
important in the life of the universe we live in. There is a Light-giver and 6
traditional planets that receive that light. There are 6 * 2 zodiacal signs.
A similar process as in the solar yearly cycle, would occur in the case of
the Moon Nodes' cycle.
The 0 Cancer - 0 Capricorn axis is also the Moon's Nodes' vibration axis with
six projection regions on it.
The astrologer may overlook the importance of the nodes, but when it comes to
see the big picture, the cosmic implications of our lives, the use of the Nodes
becomes irreplaceable. The classic interpretation of their influence is that the
South Node (referred to as SN) is the karmic luggage that we carry in this life,
while the North Node (referred to as NN) is the life path that fulfills us more
than anything else. This is a simple interpretation however.
What misses here is an esoteric and spiritual insight as the one provided by
the organized esoteric system of the traditional yogi of India, about the seven
chakras, their energetic connections and their functions
