I wanted to ask a question about planetary nodes and fixed stars.
Actually, it's more about heliocentric planetary nodes which Grant
Lewi and Carl Payne Tobey used. Robert Blachske,Diana Rosenberg,and
Pamela Rowe use the heliocentric planetary nodes too.

The Beta Star of Libra is Zuben Eschamali (Northern Scales), and it
has been at star that's assigned an influence of Mercury/Jupiter/Mars

As you know, the heliocentric nodes move so slow that they move slower
than the outer planets including Eris ,and so aspects to them are more
like connections to the collective instead of generations.

for example

on my moment of birth:

Mercury(my chart ruler) is in 18'21 Scorpio
Zuben Elschamali is in 18'58 Scorpio
Heliocentric South Mercury Node in 17'59 Scorpio
Heliocentric South Mar Nodes in 19'20 Scorpio

As you see, My Mercury is conjunct Heliocentric Mercury and Mars Node
and in alignment with Zuben Elschamali

My question is can an alignment to Zuben Elschamali have a Mercury and
Mars influence due to the conjunction?

How do you isolate the fixed star Zuben Elschamali from the
heliocentric South Mercury and South Mars Nodes which are conjunct
each other.

There are very strong Mercury and Mars themes in my life, but I am not
sure how much of that is associated with Zuben Elschamali and how much
is associated with the Heliocentric Mercury and Mars Node. The same
with my mom who has her chart ruler Moon in Scorpio conjunct the
Heliocentric Mercury and Mars Node and alignment with Zuben Elschamali.
