I want to help anybody out who doesn't know how to use the Ephemeral and to get the north nodes and south nodes of objects(moon,planets,asteroids,centaurs,kuiper belt objects) http://www.megadelfi.com/~jonathan/pos/
http://www.megadelfi.com/~jonathan/add/
(to add asteroids,centaurs,kuiper belt objects by name or number)
once you add the asteroids that you want,type them in the box and check the "show bodies entered"
make sure that you entered all your birthdata and then click on submit. It should give you your positions. If you want declinations,select Decl. If you want to check the rate of travel of an object to see if it's stationary, check LongSpeed in the fields area.
make sure you check NNode and SNode in the fields area if you want the positions of North and South Nodes of objects(moon,planets,asteroids,centaurs,kuiper belt objects)
orbs for the nodes should be tight
2 degree for conjunction,opposition,sextile,square
1 degree for semisextile,quincunx,semisquare,sesquiquadrate
for synastry: use half those orbs
also when doing node synastry, don't use the nodes of Jupiter and beyond(centaurs,Saturn,Neptune,Kuiper belt objects(Pluto and Eris fall in that category) because those have to do with collective karma.
I hope that helped.
