The following is from Philip Sedgwick:

The heliocentric horoscope strongly emphasizes the extended purpose in life. The
map reveals roads to take to propel the seeker closer to a sense of meaning and fulfillment within the incarnation. The individual obtains and must utilize the expanded operating room of space in
which one conducts the incarnation. Availability of purpose-related activities increase, enabling strong reinforcement aspects to one’s destiny.

The strong significance of the heliocentric horoscope may lead to the question of how to
know when it is time to look at the heliocentric chart. It could be confusing and overwhelming if the heliocentric chart is examined too early.
True, premature analysis of the heliocentric map holds the potential to demotivate the
individual. Still, the determination of the timing for the initial look into the new world remains ultimately up to the owner of the chart. Any time the questions come up: “Why am I here?”
“What am I doing in/with/through life?” “What good is all of this?”
These are questions which require an initial heliocentric examination.

Nodes
The planetary nodes stimulate an area of influence in the heliocentric horoscope.Planetary nodes in heliocentric astrology advance at a rate of about one degree per 100 years.
This does not represent an effect of precession since precession is a geocentric perceptual phenomenon. The slow motion of the nodes creates a generational influence in which virtually any person born in any given century has the same nodes. What could be the fuss?
The planet in contact to the node represents the personalized connection to a collective issue.
The planet reveals the impetus that the individual possesses to exert an effect in a larger issue of humanity and in context of the planet’s symbolism. North Node connections induce the individual to push for advance, change, reform and progress - worst case: rebellion, malcontent and antiestablishment attitudes prevail, often polarizing the opposed force into greater manifestation; protest and resistance fail to function at any level. South planetary nodes contain heritage, tradition and foundation. Contacts to the south node support such historical bases with great chauvinism. Other times, the tailing node contact represents dogma, resistance to progress,fear of advancement and the inability to adjust to technological progress. A point of equilibrium and balance must be maintained. Retreat, as the distant aphelion implies, provides the point of essential refuge and perspective. Retreat from a relationship allows for participation in the same relationship, forming a statement of synthesis.

Perihelia and Aphelia
These solar contact orientations establish another set of fixed configurations to examine in order to understand the pursuit and purpose of the individual with respect to the collective. As with the nodal nuances, these points generate interest in destiny and meaning in life, thereby
inspiring the person to continue forward in life with zest and zeal.
At the perihelion point the Sun occupies one of the foci of the planet’s orbital ellipse. The persuasion of the planet strives to find focus at the perihelion and does so with great urgency. The urgency is established by the rapid motion of the planet at perihelion and the relative proximity to the Sun.

My Heliocentric chart

Earth and minor planet aspects to it including nodes and perihelion/aphelion

conjunction,opposition,trine,square,sextile to a minor planet within 1 degree
conjunction to north node,south node as well as square to nodes of a minor object within 1 degree
conjunction to perihelion,aphelion as well as square to perihelion/aphelion of a minor object within 1 degree.

EARTH IN 5'20 TAURUS - the physical sphere,the body; the physical constitution; the environment.
conjunct CERBERUS IN 4'41 TAURUS - in Greek myth, 3-headed guard dog of the Underworld
conjunct RUDRA in 4'22 TAURUS - is a capricious Hindu Vedic deity who holds jurisdiction over varied aspects of reality, including wild animals, storms, disease, death, and medicine. Rudra is frequently depicted in the Vedas as a terrifying entity, representing the numinous aspect of God with fear-inspiring abilities such as that which causes disease. In contrast, Rudra also possesses milder characteristics such as the ability to heal. These antithetical traits are a consequence of the considerable amount of syncretism of regional and tribal gods that took place under his name. Rudra is an early form of the Hindu god Shiva, the lord of destruction, and due to the complex mythological and religious link between the two deities, they are often referred to together as Rudra-Shiva.
conjunct CARLISLE NORTH NODE IN 4'24 TAURUS - collective.....hmmm...I am fan of Belinda Carlisle
conjunct ERIS NORTH NODE IN 5'30 TAURUS - collective.....Greek Goddess of Discord, her throwing the Golden Apple at the wedding of Peleus and Thetis set off a chain of events leading to the Trojan War....... transneptunian dwarf planet,involving evolutionary intensification,diversity,equality,diversity

conjunct GANYMED SOUTH NODE IN 6'09 TAURUS - collective past..In Greek myth, the Trojan prince turned god whom Zeus designated the cupbearer to the Greek gods.
conjunct TALTHYBIUS APHELION IN 5'49 TAURUS - collective.....in Greek myth herald and friend to Agamemnon in the Trojan War.
conjunct TITHONUS NORTH NODE IN 5'09 TAURUS - collective......in Greek mythology, in Greek myth, son of Laomedon, king of Troy, and brother of Priam. Eos (Dawn) fell in love with him, and by her he was the father of Emathion (killed while trying to prevent Heracles from stealing the Golden Apples of the Hesperidğs) and of Memnon (killed at Troy). Eos obtained immortality for him from Zeus but forgot to ask also for eternal youth, so that Tithonus became an old shrivelled creature little more than a voice, and according to some was turned into a cicada, which renews its skin every year.
oppose RUDOLF IN 5'08 SCORPIO - could relate to Rudolf the red nosed reindeer who was picked on for his glowing red nose but who ended up guiding Santa Claus' sleigh..a story of an outcast who becames famous for a difference that was viewed as a disability but became a gift.......it could also be Rudolf Steiner which Waldorf Schools are based on that are good for rightbrained people.
oppose IXION IN 5'25 SCORPIO - ....in Greek myth, A king of Thessaly who committed parricide and attempted to rape Hera and was punished by Zeus by being bound to a perpetually revolving wheel in Hades.. transneptunian dwarf planet candidate, involving evolutionary intensification,second chances,dealing with gratitude
oppose ARIADNE in 4'54 SCORPIO - in Greek myth, daughter of King and Queen Pasiphae Minos of Crete, aided Theseus in killing the Minotaur (her maternal halfbrother), abandoned by Theseus, married Dionysus (Greek God of Wine)....could be about abandonment as well as love in connection to it
trine NADA in 4'43 CAPRICORN - nothing
square GYPTIS IN 5'13 LEO - Egyptian
square MELANTHIOS IN 5'07 AQUARIUS - Greek painter. His fame rested in part on the theoretical emphasis he placed on painting. He wrote about symmetria (proportion) and, in his book On Painting, he recommended stamping a certain wilfulness of character on works of art.
square MEKISTHEUS IN 5'29 AQUARIUS - in Greek myth, Mekisteus was Talaoksen and Lysimakhen son.
Apollodorus According to some people were saying his brother was Mekisteuksen Adrastus with Seven Against Thebes attacked by a war with the master.[2] He also mentions that Epigoni participated in the attack on his son Euryalos. Iliad mentions his participation in Oedipus funeral. Oedipus, he won the Memorial Cup in boxing.
square THETIS NODES IN 5'23 LEO/AQUARIUS - collective...In Greek myth, one of the Nereids (sea goddesses), mother of Achilles
square GLAUKOS PERIHELION/APHELION IN 5'46 AQUARIUS - collective....in Greek myth, minor fisherman turned into a minor seagod/merman,trained in divination/prophecy, Glaucus is my online nickname
square TELAMON IN 5'57 AQUARIUS - In Greek myth, King of Salamis, father of Aias (Ajax) who fought in the Trojan War
square ACHILLES IN 6'04 AQUARIUS - named after the son of Thetis; greatest warrior in Trojan War, heel was his only weak spot
square HIERA IN 6'09 AQUARIUS - Hiera is listed as the wife of Telephos in the frieze that decorated the interior of the Altar of Pergamum. Telephos is the mythic founder of the city of Pergamum, and there are many conflicting stories about him. During the Trojan War the Greeks attacked Pergamum, either because they mistook it for Troy, or because an alliance existed between Troy and Pergamum. Hiera was apparently an amazon, and the amazons united with the defenders of Pergamum to repel the attack. However, in the battle Hiera was killed by the Greek warrior Nireus. Telephos was so grief-stricken that he called a cease-fire to hold the funeral for Hiera, before restarting the battle and finally driving the invaders away. It is possible that the ancient city of Hierapolis in Turkey was named in her honor, though the name can also be read as just 'holy city'.
sextile THERSANDER IN 4'20 PISCES - in Greek myth, son of Polyneicēs (son of Oedipus) and Argeia. He took part in the successful expedition of the Epigonoi against Thebes, and afterwards became king of Thebes. From there he took part in the Greek expedition to Troy, but was killed by Telephus in Mysia.
sextile PROTESILAOS IN 5'14 PISCES - in Greek myth, Thessalian prince, son of Iphiclus. Soon after his marriage he left to take part in the Greek expedition against Troy. When the Greek fleet reached the Trojan coast he was the first to leap ashore, and was subsequently the first to be killed (some said in conscious fulfilment of an oracle that the first to tread on Trojan soil would be the first to die). His wife Laodamia was plunged into such grief at his death that the gods allowed her husband to return to her for three hours, but when he left her again she killed herself.

My Earth makes a lot of aspects to bodies,points that are connected to Greek mythology and Trojan War within 1 degree.
It's no wonder that I always enjoyed reading Greek mythology with Trojan War being one of my favorites.
Apollo was my favorite deity. Achilles was one of my favorite mythological demigods.
I wonder if I have a strong soul history as an ancient Greek, person living in ancient times that was acquainted with ancient Greeks.
