In these pages you will learn how to use the lunar nodes as a stand alone tool for finding out many things about yourself, your friends and loved ones. In thirty years of astrology study, I have learned more about myself and everyone I know through doing this work than from anything else up to this point. I am certain you are going to feel the same way. The nodes really do reveal our purpose and mission in life.

Sometimes a soul aborts his or her mission, or the mission is otherwise aborted. Most make it, although it may take most of the lifetime to complete the journey, make the contributions, and learn the lessons intended by that soul. This is basically accomplished by using the South Node talents to transition to North Node, gathering those new characteristics and then giving them back to the South Node.

We can determine if a soul has taken an upward road in life or an easier road. Certain individuals have extra leeway, reaping benefits now for good deeds done in the past. Others have heavy dues to pay, or they have arranged to participate in a mission that requires a great amount of experience before they qualify. There are karmic implications in the nodes; they represent the small percentage of time that our free will appears to be operating at a minimal level. Karma is an objective-balancing mechanism existing in the universal spirit. There is heavenly guidance associated with the nodes, and sometimes that higher power takes over. Sometimes there are unanticipated benefits coming to us, while at other times there is a service requested of us. Much goes on according to arrangements we made that we no longer remember. Since karma and the divine universal designs are difficult to prove, it is through application of the principles presented that you can test them for yourself.

The nodes can even be used as timing devices. Whenever a nodal contact takes place, social encounters and connections occur with others that allow us to reap our good karma, or pay some dues. This could be a transiting node contacting a natal planet, a transiting planet contacting a natal node, or even when an association comes about in which one person’s node connects with another person’s planet.

The North Node is like a cup that is running over. Gifts from the higher powers are coming to us and good karma is rewarded. The South Node is an empty cup; we are expected to fill it up. We can provide a service that will contribute to another soul or to the growth an evolution of the planet. Much is happening as part of natural processes.

The timing of transit contacts will be experienced as harmonious, uplifting, encouraging, and free flowing with the North Node contacts, or constricting, restraining and sometimes complicated with the South Node contacts. These things can all be found in the nodes and utilized on a daily basis to complete the mission and move to a higher level of the soul’s evolution.

In the spiritual sense, as an Axis of Fate, (as more modern astrologers describe the nodes), their retrograde motion suggests that happenings in the present have roots in the past. Right now the life pattern is being affected by legacy. We have certain birthrights and certain responsibilities. The nodes could be viewed as portals through which the higher universal force merges forces and has interplay with humankind. They symbolize cause-and-effect developments in life. They represent a meeting ground for issues that have a bearing on fate or free will. No one has total free will (except perhaps enlightened yogis and saints) and the nodes mark the spot where karma is a factor. Karma is not a punishment. It is the fulfilling of responsibilities that results in expanded spiritual growth. The nodes represent these compelling forces of destiny. Experiences that unfold when the nodes are activating the chart often defy or seem to operate independently of free will, reason or judgment. Whether this is experienced as a wanted or an unwanted event, it may be seen as the manner in which the higher forces are intervening or giving you a boost, helping you stay on your intended path of personal destiny.

There are things to be learned through the nodes that are not to be found through any other chart factors. They explain the “why” behind our very existence. They explain our purpose. They bring light to why other chart features manifest as they do, as the nodes represent special influences that may act independently of others, or can actually counteract others. They define our karmic lessons and our destined missions. They prove that our lives are strongly influenced by karma and that we had specific intentions before arriving in the present life.

As far as defining our intended mission, the node positions in the natal chart begin to tell this story from birth. This axis shows our link to the past and points to the future. The south end of the axis reveals what we came into this life with: our assets and liabilities, our accumulated good and bad karma. The South Node represents the suitcase we brought with us. This is all the stuff we own. By sign, the South Node indicates our nature and inborn character traits that are clearly visible through our behavior and actions. They are automatic, based on prior successes and past fears. We have lifetimes of experience under our belt of the nature of the South Node sign. It’s easier to continue doing works and deeds utilizing those qualities. Like an old pair of pajamas, we find a certain amount of comfort wearing these old clothes, even though there are some less desirable features about them. They are fading, the elastic is weakening, and the fabric is no longer crisp. We certainly don’t make our best impression in them. The inborn tendencies are so habitual that, unfortunately, we tend to express some of the less appealing traits of the sign holding the South Node, and that is the worse thing to do. To strongly act out the negative sign traits of the South Node may mean a person is headed toward great unhappiness, setbacks and remorse. The South Node can be viewed as a weak spot. It has been compared to quicksand, as it shows the footsteps we left behind us that we may be tempted to retrace, maybe only to fall into a black hole.

Our goal and plan now was to acquire the positive traits symbolized by the exact opposite sign, where the North Node lies. It represents the future, and those attributes to be acquired next on our continuing journey. The highest qualities symbolized by the North Node are those we aimed to claim, that we actually were excited to make claim to; to do works and deeds that exemplify that sign. While the South Node symbolizes a comfort zone, the North Node symbolizes the new and novel - therefore it takes courage to venture into the new territory. There is challenge, like starting school that first day. There is guidance for us at the North Node, but we must put forth a conscious personal effort in that direction to draw on all the blessings the universe has in store for us. Moving forward brings the greatest happiness.

We do not actually demonstrate our North Node traits until we cultivate and develop them. Throughout our life, events and circumstances push us toward this end. Life experiences encourage us to develop those new faculties. Life rewards us with unhappiness when we try to continue on the old path, to remind us of our intents and purposes. We can utilize all the many talents we brought with us to accomplish the task by redistributing that energy. A knack associates with the South Node may be just what is needed to carry out the mission symbolized by the North Node. Some make the transition more rapidly than others. Most are working through some facet of this personal challenge for the entire lifetime and possibly into the next. If you are very aware, you may find you still have some hang-up associated with your South Node, even if you have managed to develop many of your North Node traits. Some South Node traits may linger, as they are so habitual. Sadly, some individuals make little progress or don’t make it, but they will get the chance again. Eventually, gradually, we all make it. There’s really no such thing as failure when it comes to meeting our spiritual destiny.

Attaining the North Node behaviour is actually one of the rewards of Astrology.

Zala did an amazing job of posting the Nodes Information from Jan's classic. You cannot read that information just once. You have to re-read every few months to get a new bit of wisdom, it is a knowledge with cosciousness.
Some of the Aries South Node descriptions, is like she reported a detailed past life recall of mine...
