Lunar Nodes

The lunar nodes are easy to spot in your chart ¨C they look like horseshoes both

the right way up and upside down ¨C and are always exactly opposite each other.

North Node

South Node

The South Node shows what a person

did in a past life; it shows what

he or she came into the world able to

do ¨C the things in his or her life that feel

easy or comfortable. So, for example, if

a person has the South Node in the 7th

house, relationships are easy and comfortable

to them.

The nodes are where the Moon crosses the

ecliptic: the apparent path of the Sun (from

our point of view on Earth).

Use what you have learned about the signs

and the houses to extrapolate meaning about

the nodes in your chart. For example, if your

North Node was in Aries in the 10th house

you could say very simplistically:

The North Node is where the Moon crosses

the ecliptic going north, and the South Node

is where the Moon crosses the ecliptic going

south. The two points are always directly

opposite each other, and they are nearly

always retrograde.

This person will find happiness and

fulfillment when they live life on their terms

(Aries) especially when it comes to their

career (10th house). However, if they have

their North Node in Aries in the 10th house,

we know they must have the South Node

in Libra in the 4th house, since the

nodes always oppose each other.

That suggests they may fall back

into living more co-dependently

Nodes and

Compatibility

Note that you really do need to think

about the whole chart to get a true picture,

but this give an idea of how to work with

the Nodes.

which has gone across lifetimes and is an

unbreakable bond!

Where your planets conjoin (i.e. are on

the exact same or very near degree) with

someone¡¯s North Node, the relationship is

likely to be challenging in a healthy way.

Where they conjoin someone¡¯s South Node,

there could be a sense that it¡¯s easy and

comfortable, but it¡¯s not going to stretch

you and help your soul to grow, or help

you to evolve as much as you might like.

Sometimes it¡¯s hard to get away from

someone if you have your Sun or Venus on

their South Node.

Also note that, if you compare your chart

with someone else¡¯s and one of their planets

is on one of your Nodes (you can tell this

if the degrees are the same ¨C e.g. their Sun

and your North Node are both at 23 degrees

in Gemini or both at 16 degrees in Virgo)

then it¡¯s said that you have a very karmic

relationship. To have one person¡¯s Saturn in

the same place (same degree) as someone

else¡¯s South Node suggests a relationship

On the Subject of

Compatibility

Now that you know about degrees and

aspects, it¡¯s going to be much easier for you

to work out how well (or not) you are likely

to get on with someone. To work this out,

all you need is their birth date. Having their

birth time and place will give you even more

detail, but of course it¡¯s not always possible to

get that information from someone early on

in a relationship. If you have their birth date,

disregard the Moon and their Rising Sign

(since they are totally dependent on the time

and place of birth) and then¡­

1. Look at your planets¡¯ elements and theirs.

Remember: Fire and Air go together well

and so do Earth and Water.

2. Look at your Suns ¨C these represent your

egos. Are they compatible or clashing?

3. Look at your Venuses ¨C they show how

you love and what you love. Are they

compatible or clashing?

between all the planets, remembering

to leave the Moon and Rising Sign out if

you don¡¯t have an accurate time or place

of birth for the other person.

4. Look at your Jupiters ¨C these show

how you have a good time. Are they

compatible or clashing?

6. As you can imagine, a clash between

your angry Mars and their unpredictable

Uranus, for example, is going to cause

issues! Whereas if their Venus and your

Jupiter are in harmony (or vice versa)

you are far more likely to make beautiful

music together.

5. Now look at the degrees for even more

info. For example, does your Sun sextile

or trine their Venus (compatible) or does

it square or oppose it (clash). Check

Here is an easy-reference guide for you about which planets get on with which, but remember, there

are a lot of other factors to consider when looking at compatibility. ¡®Yes!¡¯ means very well, ¡®Nice¡¯ means

pretty well, ¡®Meh¡¯ means a bit indifferent and ¡®Clash¡¯ being, well, a clash!
