Are there any other aspects that can balance it out?

It's kind of like two people are running the same marathon, but one person's finish line is the other person's start line. If they meet halfway, they can tell each other what the rest of the path is like, how to get around obstacles, what to expect... etc.

So a nodal reversal could be a very strong, helpful aspect so long as both people are willing to let each other go their own way.

Virgovenusleo, yes, it's suspposedly the lovers aspect. But as far as I know, only the NN person feels the pull...

When one node is conjunct, or even the other node conjuct, the node will square the composite node.

I guess a sextile of nodes is best. The composite nodal return would have a semi-sextile with both individual natal nodes.
A natal nodal opposition for one person gives a trine to the other person.

I was thinking lately how I'm so envious of him--he's so good at seizing the moment, being happy and optimistic, living in the present, and experiencing each day as a big, enlightening, momentous adventure. I decided to check out our synastry, and I noticed this Node thing...so of course I am envious! He is well-developed in exactly the areas I will be happier when I develop!!

We also have his NN square my Jupiter and his Jupiter conjunct my NN.

I have learned A LOT in this relationship very fast, and by "learned" I don't mean bad stuff, but really good stuff. I feel like I've watched him use his energy and I've learned to better activate my own personal power.

However, I think that in a longterm, committed romantic partnership (which this is not, though I think there may be potential, but there are lots of different directions our connection might go) the Node reversal could be really tricky, although I think an NN-NN conjunction could be even worse. It could be frustrating to always be around somebody who seems to have mastered what you struggle with. I guess the rest of the synastry would show how well it would work.

and please understand that when i say "prime soulmates" i don't believe there is a ONE, but several people with whom we have had recurring relationships with down the timeline(assuming a timeline which is really just a conceptual convenience)

as to the actual nodes conj in reverse like this you have to bear in mind that a lot of people are born at around the same time, so whether they are exact or not is not as important as what else is going on in the chart. especially what those nodes connect to in terms of personal planets and angles.

With the guy I had unrequited feelings for (which made me question my attractiveness, my ability to trust my intuition, and all sorts of other things), my 12 house North Node was conjunct his 8th house Venus. We had all sorts of synastry aspects that, if I were reading for someone else, I would think would indicate MUTUAL feelings between us. It SUCKED.

My Nn conjuncts his sun/Saturn 1 deg
His NN conjuncts my moon/Venus/Saturn all under 2 degs
