I accidentally discovered that I met a friend of mine when the the transiting North node was conjunct my ascendant and conjunct my friends south node. Does that mean that we were meant to be friends for life.

How does transiting nodes impact ones personal life?

you seem to be new to this forum (?) - so: Welcome!

Unfortunately, I haven't found a decent web-site yet, where the Nodal transits are explained sufficiently. But I found this one, which gives some genral info on Nodal-transits. Hope this helps! ;-)

The Nodal Degree
The degree in which the North Node is placed in the natal chart is a highly significant one. For example, if your Dragon's Head is placed in the 22nd degree of Aries, the 22nd degree of each of the other zodiacal signs is called the nodal degree. The South Node of course is placed in the opposing degree, but this nodal degree is also considered a very sensitive point in each of the signs, so whenever the nodal degree is activated by progression or transit, significant karmic events may be expected. Moreover, should any natal planet be placed in a nodal degree, its influence is also strengthened for good or ill, depending on its character and condition.

The Nodal Return
The Moon's nodes move back by transit to their birth position once every 18.6 years or so, when the transiting nodes form a conjunction with the natal nodes. This means that in our 19th year, we have what astrologers call a Nodal Return. In our 38th year we have another one; in our 56th, another and so on. Significant moments of destiny are marked by these returns, which if we look at these years of our lives, we can clearly see.

It is also notable that, because the nodes are an axis, halving this period gives the Nodal Opposition, the Counter-Nodal Return, when the transiting North Node is in conjunction with the natal South Node and vice versa. So in our 10th year, 28th year, 47th year, 66th year and so on a collison occurs in which the growth patterns indicated by the North Node clash with the established regimes of the South Node, often generating intense insecurities that lead to major transformations of the life-path. This is particularly so in the 28th year, during which the powerful energies of the progressed Lunar Return and the first Saturn Return mark the stressful transition from the Phase of Youth to the Phase of Maturity.

You must have had your north node conjunct transiting north node around November 2007. Did anything intresting happen in that period?

I have a website for you to look into. http://moonvalleyastrologer.com/moon_nodes.htm

Yes - I had the transiting N.N. conjunct my natal N.N. last Octobre ... and ... it WAS an important time - at least I thought it was, then.

I got very much closer with a man during that period - it was a long distance relationship, two different countries involved, we had met via the internet about a year before, and had met for the first time in may 2007 - but Octobre 2007 we grew very much closer, it was the first time I visited him in his country - right during the week that the Nodal-conjunction occured. I had the strong feeling that our thing was fated, in several regards, also astrologically. We discussed moving together during the respective week last Octobre, for the first time spoke about that and spoke about some plans and all - and he told me that I was "the woman he had been waiting for for all his life", all the HUGE phrases, you know. I noticed that remarkable Nodal conjunction just afterwards.;-)

But ... I have talked about that several times in this forum already: The whole relationship failed. Just recently, at the end of April, I quit. It was very complicated between that guy and me. A whole lot of things happened between us. Not so nice things, at the end of the day. I had been a single person for three years before I met him - so it was a big thing for me.

Yes, it WAS an important time for me. I am just a bit ... well ... "disappointed" that it ended that way. (In a VERY unsatisfying way, to say the least.) And it has cost me a lot, emotionally and in other ways.

In restrospect I must say that ... it was way easier for him, that he received much more from me that I did from him. Maybe some feature of ... "paying the debts of my own Karma"???

In fact, Venus is conjunct my Sout Node, so: linked to "Old Karma"... And my North Node sextiles my Juno - but unfortunately also squares my Neptune (illusions), as well as my Venus.

An additional thing to that Karma-loaden meeting with that man: His Vertex happens to be in 3° dg Pisces - so in a very close (0.5 dg orb) conjunct to my N.N.. That means: As far as "Karma" is concerned, the respective week must have been important for him as well, because the transiting North Node was conjuncting his Vertex then.

May be that was the reason, who knows how much that relationship transformed you.
