North Node

There is a south node conjunction (by sign) synastry past-life meaning at the end - I found this interesting. I did some synastry charts with people who have been in my life for a long time/people who have influenced my life and even though this is a very simple interpretation it felt right! Funnily enough, out of everyone I put in, I have no SN conjunctions with either of my parents, nor I them. Strange! Apparently, I was my brother's child in a past life (my moon sits on his SN) and he was my teacher and revolutionary in a past life too (his uranus and saturn oppose my NN) ... An ex who I almost felt a brotherly relationship with due to our silliness and laughter constantly, my mercury is on his SN (which indicates I was a brother/sister in a past life). He is the only one I have had this with!

The NN explanation is simple, but to the point and I found it easier to relate to than other ones I have read. It totally made me do an 'ah hah!' moment. I am still acting like my NN in Gemini in a past life lol.. so obviously I'm not learning :P

also what you are talking about is actually the lunar nodes.

all objects have nodes

geocentric planetary nodes in synastry could be used for karmic connection indicators.....with the south node of planets in pastlife connections

here is some stuff on planetary nodes:

The second set of indicators that one looks for are aspects to the other party's nodes (both lunar and planetary), by the planets first of all then by the angles and lastly the first party's lunar nodes. Although the lunar nodes have been used in Western Astrology for centuries, their interpretation as an axis of karmic intent was only found in Indian Vedic astrology until the late 1800's when certain prominent astrologers, influenced by Theosophy, introduced it to the West. The lunar nodes are derived by the intersection of the plane of the ecliptic (the path of the Sun) with the orbit of the Moon; in other words, they pinpoint where the Moon and Sun would have to be located to line up with the Earth in such way as to create lunar and solar eclipses. What some students of astrology are not aware of is that all of the planets have nodes because one can determine where their orbits intersect with the plane of the ecliptic just as one can do with the Moon. Some astrological software programs like Solar Fire, v. 5, include the planetary nodes in their computations. What all of the nodes show us is the development of the Soul over time within its current cycle of experience so that the South (Lunar) or Descending (Planetary) Nodes reveal the Soul's evolution up to the beginning of this lifetime and the North (Lunar) or Ascending (Planetary) Nodes reveal the intent the Soul has for its direction in the future. The Moon represents the emotional center of one's personality, its instincts, habits, and unquestioned existential assumptions; the raw, unformed ego-state of personality that serves as one's initial selfhood until (and unless) one can grow into one's individuated Sun self. This is the realm of reaction and untested, visceral perceptions of reality. Its nodes generate emotional impressions of where the Soul has been and where it is going. Aspects between one partner's planets and the other's South Lunar Node stir up distant memories of feelings and instinct past, indicating either an actual karmic connection from a previous lifetime or something terribly reminiscent of one. The hard aspects especially produce patterns of energy and curiosity between two people, as do conjunctions by the Luminaries, by excitement-producing Mars and Uranus, and by the ultimate indicator of karmic obligation, Saturn. Aspects to the partner's North Node are not so easily felt, representing what could be should the two decide to join forces over a considerable period of time. My uses of the planetary nodes have been inspired and influenced by the brilliant pioneering work of eminent astrologer, Jeffrey Wolf Green. Strong aspects, especially tight conjunctions, oppositions, and squares, of one partner's planets and/or angles to the Descending Nodes of the other's personal planets (Mercury, Venus, and Mars) are significant indicators of soul mate connection and likely involvement in previous lifetimes. The actual pre-incarnate contact between the two parties strengthens the experience of soulfulness in the relationship exactly because the source of that contact lies outside one's current bodily perimeters. This works in much the same way that meeting an old and close high school friend after an absence of some twenty or thirty years evokes not only the feelings and memories associated with those years together but also an enhanced sense of life's meaning in general through comparison of where we were then and where we are now. These contacts put us in touch with a deeper dimension of life than we could experience within either of those points in time by themselves. The reason we use only the nodes of the innermost planets is because those of the planets from Jupiter on out move too slowly to be of much use in analysis of personal relationships. Contacts to those nodes do indicate prior life overlap but more in the impersonal sense of membership in the same tribe, village, society, or era.

also south node conjunction to the angles can be significant. I don't know why they didn't mention those.

btw...I don't have lunar node conjunctions with either of my parents. my south lunar node is conjunct my maternal grandfather's Imum Coeli less than 1 degree.

I posted this knowing it was more of a general thing (as it is by sign, not tight orbs necessarily) and thought it would be fun.

Belz everyone in my age group i.e. most of my friends were revolutionaries or prophets/spiritual leaders who influenced me LOL .. oh I am assuming this happened over several lifetimes as well as how many spiritual leaders can I be influenced with at one time? XP

Funny how in the article Raymond posted it said that the outer planets are rarely used, though they can indicate past life connections however in more of a revolutionary/spiritual way like the document I posted suggests!

Also interesting.. the guy who was my 'brother or sister' in a past life (i.e. my Mercury cj his SN) also has his Mercury cj my IC - and I noticed Raymond that you posted that IC conjunctions indicate pastlife family ties. Interesting!

This is why I did it with only ppl I had strong connections with (mainly family members and a few close friends/exes), to see where their planets fell on my chart

I knew my grammie as a soldier in a past life hehe

I wonder if it's common not to have NN connections with your parents?

the article was refering to the nodes of outerplanets.

J's Mercury opposition M's North Node:

Getting to know each other will be like picking up where you left off. You carry the past-life karma
of siblings or students on a path together, considered favorable in the range of past-life karma.
Although favorable to start a relationship, you will need to encourage each other to continue to
learn and grow to avoid the tendency to hold each other in the past.
