I think the north node and the vertex have to do with past-lives and karma.My book says the north node outlines new lessons & characteristics to which the person aspires in the present lifetime.
I did read some about the vertex in synastry, though..
You are Made for Me: The Vertex
A lesser known point in any natal chart is the vertex. It acts almost like a secondary descendant. Strong interaspects involving the vertex are found in the synastry of people who feel they are made for each other. There is a fated quality attached to the vertex.
