Well..the nodes are the two points where the orbit of the moon crosses the Earth's ecliptic. I'm not sure what the difference is between the true node and the mean node.The nodes generally have to to with lessons needing to be learned in this life. The north node indicates lessons one need to tackle in this life to evolve and the south node is indicating issues that one is bringing with them from from past lives that aren't yet fully resolved and are still affecting them in this incarnation.
Chiron is an asteroid. It's known as the 'wounded healer'. Generally indicates a place in one's chart where a person experiences some pain or difficulty but then can use that pain to help others heal.
Hope this helps, neptunz!
