Orbs: 2 degrees, according to the Australian Academy of Astrology, is reasonable.

MERCURY 17.59 Taurus (North Nodes) and 17.59 Scorpio (South Nodes)
MARS 19.24 Taurus (North Nodes) and 19.24 Scorpio (South Nodes)
URANUS 14.01 Gemini (North Nodes) and 14.01 Sagittarius (South Nodes)
VENUS 16.30 Gemini (North Nodes) and 16.30 Sagittarius (South Nodes)

Plus ..
CHIRON 29.09 Libra (North Nodes) and 29.09 Aries (South Nodes)

My planets make the following conjunctions/hard aspects to these nodes:

Mercury Nodes: Mars square North Node
Uranus conjunct South Node

Mars Node: Mercury/Uranus conjunct South
Node

Saturn Node: Ascendant square North Node

Chiron Node: Sun conjunct North Node

And the piece de resistance...

Pluto Node: Pluto square North Node. Oy! Me and that dwarf!

Mercury Nodes - South Node conjunct Mercury in 18'21 Scorpio
Mars Nodes - South Node conjunct Mercury in 18'21 Scorpio
Jupiter Nodes - square Chiron in 10'32 Aries
Saturn Nodes - North Node trine Venus in 21'47 Scorpio

I also checked Heliocentric Eris Nodes with Eris being a dwarf planet like Pluto

South Eris Node in 5'30 Scorpio conjunct my Sun in 5'20 Scorpio

"Great astrologers Dane Rudhyar (my main mentor and author of numerous books on astrology) and Grant Lewi (author of Astrology for the Millions and Heaven Knows What) provide the answer. Dane Rudhyar was the key astrologer who discussed the importance of the heliocentric nodes of each planet. Most astrology students and professionals work with the Moon's Nodes all the time -- as vital degree placements in every chart and an axis of great power. The Moon's Nodes have an 18+ year cycle moving retrograde through the zodiac and are geocentric -- because the Moon is the Earth's satellite. The heliocentric nodes are very slow-moving and relate to the orbital positions of all the planets as they orbit around the Sun. In essence, Neptune's heliocentric nodes are the points in our ecliptic or zodiac (Earth's path around the Sun) where the entire orbit of Neptune crosses the entire orbit of the Earth. Approximately, every eight decades, the degrees change by only 1 degree. Thus, they move exceedingly slowly.

Ever since I read the masterworks of Rudhyar and Lewi back around 1972 when I started my astrology practice, I have been working with the heliocentric nodes of the planets. As Rudhyar points out, if a person is born with, say, the entire orbit of Neptune rising and setting, it's almost as if that person becomes a cosmic agent for Neptune itself. In other words, to have the heliocentric nodes of a planet on an angle or conjunct a celestial body at birth is much more powerful than to have a conjunction of the planet itself. Therefore, if one person is born with Neptune rising and another person has the orbit of Neptune rising, it is the latter who is endowed with the most potent energies -- not that the individual with Neptune rising hasn't also chosen a highly potent chart Neptune-wise. Both are super-strong with Neptune vibrations, but having the heliocentric nodes so powerful is an overwhelming key to the person's spiritual destiny.

It was Grant Lewi who revealed that the USA was born in 1776 with Uranus in Gemini close to the North Node of its orbit while the Soviet Union came into existence in 1917 with Neptune in Leo close to the North Node of its orbit. In addition, Adolf Hitler's Third Reich began in January 1933 with Pluto in Cancer close to the North Node of its orbit. The USA is the major nation in the world connected to democracy and capitalism (Uranus). The Soviet Union was the major nation in the world connected to socialism and communism (Neptune). And the Nazi Third Reich was the major nation in the world connected to fascism and totalitarianism (Pluto). What all this establishes in your mind is that the orbits (north and south nodes) of the planets are essential to understand. This article will focus in on the heliocentric nodes for Neptune. [Note: Do not be confused. There are also geocentric nodes of the planets that shift much more quickly than the heliocentric nodes. Rudhyar was very well aware of this. His studies focused on the more universal and significant heliocentric orbits.]
