That indicates that the New Moon will be connected to collective Uranian matters like independence,innovation,and change.

It can be a very unstable time.

The Heliocentric Uranus Nodes are no joke. Dane Rudhyar, Carl Tobey Payne ,and Grant Lewi didn't underestimate the power of the planetary nodes.

What the relationship of the planet's orbit to the Earth's orbit will indicate is the part which the life-activity represented by the planet occupies, at any time, in the scheme of development of Earth-born mankind. If Uranus symbolizes the regenerative force which tends to bring to humanity as a whole universal images that will supersede the Saturnian stereotyped formula of separative egoism, then the nodes of Uranus will tell us the manner in which this regenerative force is operating at present. The indication given will be broad, and it covers a large span of years or centuries, for the planetary nodes move very slowly along the zodiac, seemingly with alternately direct and retrograde motion. At present, Uranus' line of nodes extends from Gemini 13°40' to Sagittarius 13°40'; and what it thus stresses is the fact that the regenerative force of Uranus is operating, and has been operating for centuries, through the mind of man.

A closer analysis of the nodes' meaning will attribute opposite and complementary significances to the two terminals of the lines of nodes, the North Node and the South Node. This nodal dualism is logical, for every type of life-activity in relation to the center of integration of the organic system may take on a positive or a negative value. Integration and disintegration go ever hand in hand. Every life-element can operate as a destructive or as a constructive agency, such being the universal law of life.

The North Node is the positive pole of integration; the South Node the negative pole where disintegration of some sort (it may not be "evil," however) takes place. The former is a point of ingestion and assimilation; the latter, a point of release and evacuation. We shall study this polarization of life- activities in greater detail when we shall consider the Moon's nodes. In the meantime these brief remarks will suffice to indicate the general opposition of meanings manifest in the two nodes.

If, therefore, we refer again to the present position of Uranus' nodes, we shall see that its North Node, being in the fourteenth degree of Gemini, signifies that positive regeneration comes to mankind at present by the use of the concrete intellect, and through the establishment of spatial connections - which are two of the essential characteristics of Gemini; also that there is an integrative Uranian emphasis on the development of the nervous system, of postal communications, etc.

On the other hand, the Sagittarian qualities of religious idealism, of obedience to authority, etc. - even of metaphysical abstractedness - are seen as negative from the point of view of the planetary Uranus action. They constitute the "line of least resistance;" they result largely from past habits of integration, and thus constitute most often "mechanisms of escape," from the psychological standpoint. Nevertheless powerfully creative and Uranian releases may come along Sagittarian lines through individuals who act as the culmination of traditional impulses to activity, as the "last word" in a realm of achievement which, having been thoroughly developed for millennia, may have nothing compellingly vital to offer - yet is able to produce absolute formal perfection.

The symbol for the present degree position of Uranus' North Node is: "Two people, widely separated, are communicating telepathically." (1) This is most significant, if we are to believe the statement often repeated in Alice Bailey's books that the development of the telepathic faculty is the most important task now confronting the spiritual pioneers of the race. On the other hand, Uranus' South Node is on a degree symbolized by: "The Sphynx and the Pyramids are glorious vestiges of the past" - which em­phasizes the fact that now all the glorious past of mankind is being synthesized, recorded, brought to a culmination through many types of human activities - from archaeology to occult metaphysics. Yet this suggests also that dependence upon these past glories, national or religious, is most often the result of shrinking from the task of the future, and is a form of escape based on fear.

The way the nodes are distributed in the zodiac at present is most interesting, for they cover an area of less than 90 degrees North or South - in fact 84 degrees, which recalls the Uranus cycle and that of the "building of the Temple." It is especially interesting to see that the summer solstice is at present almost exactly at the center of the configuration. This solstice is the time of most intense solar manifestation (in Chinese philosophy, domination of the active principle Yang); while the winter solstice is the point of lowest solar vitality (domination of the passive principle Yin). The positions of the combined planetary nodes are thus correspondent with points of solar dynamism exactly analogical. This would tend to show that the integrative power of the solar system as a whole upon the Earth is at its apex now (or close to it); for the maximum of integrative activity of the planets is, as it were, synchronous with the maximum of activity of the Sun, the integrator. A study of the symbols of the degrees on which the planetary nodes are found, as outlined in our preceding example (Uranus), will be of deep interest to the student of contemporary planetary trends.

To the foregoing we must add that as planets, in their monthly or daily course, reach the degrees of the zodiac on which their nodes are located, a definite stressing of their positive or negative characteristics is apparent. When planets pass their North Node they operate positively, actively; while at their South Node point they are receptive and passive - that is, the quality or function they signify operates in a passive (yet strong) manner. In an individual chart, a planet situated over its North Node is very domi­nant psychologically; It’s effect is stirring up the consciousness, in the sense that all the integrating life-energy received by the native has a tendency to relate itself to the particular quality expressed by the planet. On the other hand, a planet situated over its South Node may refer to a definite type of psychological escape. The native may tend to evade the issue represented by the planet, or else to be passive and "let things happen" in the sphere of activity which the planet denotes.

A very definite result is also usually to be noticed (more definite probably in the more developed type of personality) when important planets in a chart are located on degrees which are the nodal points of other planets. The characteristics of the latter undertone as it were the activities of the former. The late King George V of England, for instance, had his Sun over Uranus' North Node. Undoubtedly his reign has been full of Uranian happenings. Franklin D. Roosevelt's chart is also characteristic in this respect. His Jupiter is on Mercury's North Node, and Uranus' North Node corresponds to his Mid-Heaven. Moreover his Sun is on Neptune's South Node. If Neptune represents the power of collectivities, Neptune's South Node would symbolize that power disintegrated and left to follow the line of least resis­tance. Roosevelt's Sun would then shine in the midst of such a condition, and add solar power to the Neptunian element. His own Neptune placed between Saturn and Jupiter (closer to the latter) is symbolically between, on one hand, darkness and Saturnian "rugged individualism" (to be regenerated, as it is in the eighth house), on the other, Jupiter and the power of expansion and circulation of energy.

An even stronger effect can be expected where the line of nodes of a planet coincides with the horizon or the meridian in a birth­chart; or even with the line of the cusps of two opposite houses. In these cases the quality of the planet is strongly, yet subtly, influencing all the matters related to the two opposite (and complementary) houses.

Heliocentric Nodes of Uranus
Like the nodes of the Moon, the nodes of the planets can be used in charts as well. Astrologers use both the geocentric and/or heliocentric nodes according to their preference. It's hard – if not impossible –to find an online table or ephemeris for the heliocentric nodes of planets besides the Moon. If you want to calculate them for your chart, cast your chart in Heliocentric in Solar Fire and add Extra Ring Points, then choose Nodes as your Extra Ring Points file.

Some astrologers use the heliocentric nodes rather than the geocentric nodes because they say that for them - the heliocentric nodes seem to work better. I use heliocentric nodes, and the rest of this article is about the heliocentric nodes.

The way the planetary nodes work in a chart is similar to how the nodes of the Moon work. The north node is where you're going, and the tail is where you're coming from. The planetary nodes then give the characteristics of the planet they represent. The nodes of Uranus represent a point of eccentricity in your chart. If you have the nodes of Uranus conjunct your Ascendant, you would probably be known as a revolutionary of some kind. Mick Jagger and Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh both have Uranus' nodes conjunct their Ascendants at 13 Gemini. Whereever the north nodes of Uranus are in your chart is where you are learning to express your wildest individuality.

The heliocentric nodes of the planets move very slowly. In 1900, the north node of Uranus was at about 13 degrees and 29 minutes of Gemini. Now it's at about 14 Gemini 03. It moves about 30 minutes every 100 years. Here's a list of where the heliocentric true nodes are in 2010:

Mercury 18'27" Taurus/Scorpio
Venus 16'45" Gemini/Sagittarius
Mars 19'38" Taurus/Scorpio
Jupiter 10'35" Cancer/Capricorn
Saturn 23'45" Cancer/Capricorn
Uranus 14'03" Gemini/Sagittarius
Neptune 11'52" Leo/Aquarius
Pluto 20'01" Cancer/Capricorn

Note that the heliocentric nodes are always exactly opposite each other.

You can see the slow progression of Uranus' nodes through Gemini here: http://sites.google.com/site/astrocalendars/uranusnodes

Here are some more examples: If you have Uranus' nodes conjunct your Moon, you will have a tumultuous home life until you learn to work the principals of Uranus into your domestic lifestyle in a positive way. If the nodes are conjunct your Venus, your love life might a bit on the unusual side, and so on. If the nodes are conjunct your Mercury, you are likely blessed with an unusual intellect. Another interesting example is Arnold Schwarzenegger who has Pluto's north Node at 19 Cancer (back in 1947) conjunct his Ascendant.

Grant Lewi placed great emphasis on the nodes. Statistics of RCA Communications, Inc., in connection with their research dealing with the correspondence that exists between planetary motion and magnetic disturbances that interfere with shortwave radio reception, placed emphasis on the nodes. Letters from two astrologers unknown to each other asked us the same question. Did we know why people born with the Sun near 13-Gemini or 13-Sagittarius seemed to have so much difficulty in making marriage a success? Of course, this meant success according to orthodox standards which are quite inadequate, but it was interesting to note that each astrologer had unconsciously called the exact position of the nodes of the planet Uranus (Individual Reform Guide and Seventh House principle). Marriage is difficult where this principle is concerned because marriage is a Man-made inst;itution that was molded in ignorance of this principle. When he wrote the Ten Commandments General Moses had his intellectual limitations.

Planets aspecting these points, or even the lunar nodes aspecting these points, have significance. To have a body conjunct or square the node of a planet appears to be more important than to have it conjunct the planet itself. The node of Mars will show up strongly where violence and surgery is involved. In fact, we have found but one case of a hysterectomy to date where the woman did not have a planet (any planet) conjunct or square to Mars' nodes That one case had Mars conjunct the node of Saturn. During a class, a protest against this statement was introduced by the wife of a physician. As a result, all the students were requested to accumulate all the cases of hysterectomies they could find, and try and locate a case where this was not true. Many birth dates involving hyster- ectomies were produced. There was no case among them where some natal planet was not conjunct or square the nodes of Mars. That does not mean there are no such cases, and you might find one, but when you do, please send it to us. In fact, it will be very helpful to our research department if you will send in the birth dates ofall the people you know who have found hysterectomies necessary. The data will be very welcome.

Planets conjunct or square the nodes of Saturn have a depressive correspondence, while planets conjunct or square the nodes of Uranus have a very restless and rebellious spirit. The functioning seems to be similar to aspects of the planets themselves but more pronounced.

This is from another site:

Uranus' Nodes are very significant aspects in a natal Horoscope. Conjunctions to Uranus' Nodes impart individuality, inventiveness and an eccentric personality to these natives. Many of these natives would seem Aquarian if a trained Astrologer were viewing their actions and habits.

Squares to Uranus' Nodes have been found to create explosive element in a natives personality.

Okay I also have saturn conjunct the south nodes for mercury and mars. Jupiter is conj the south node for pluto and saturn.

Thanks for the informative posts Glaucus.

Ironically, I get that I'm supposed to be alone more than having a life long commited partnership which is a little depressing.

no you're not

It just means that when it comes to marriage, you're a strong believer in independence. You won't sit in the back seat for no man. You are your own person. Nobody could make you subservient in a relationship.
You may even prefer to keep your own last name.

You might also like partners that are different,unique,innovative,unconventional

there is possibility that they could be different from you in regards to race/ethnicity,religion/spirituality, political ideology,or other things

I have Ascendant/Descendant in 13'27 Virgo/Pisces square Heliocentric Uranus Nodes in 13'52 Gemini/Sagittarius myself. Therefore I am a highly Uranian type in a collective type way. I am strongly connected to collective energy. I can be more even more unconventional,unstable,unpredictable compared to somebody who has Uranus Nodes conjunct or oppose the Ascendant/Descendant axis.

Wow .......cool! I'd love to find a mate with that connection. That can be like a soulmate connection.

My exgf Meghann had Ascendant/Descendant in 13'43 Pisces/Virgo, and so she also had Uranus Nodes square her Ascendant/Descendant axis. That also means that she and I had Ascendant/Descendant conjunct Heliocentric Uranus Nodes in composite chart. She and I were an interracial couple, and she and I shared liberalism in common.

My Venus is in 21'47 Scorpio

Thank you for your compliments. I appreciate them.

isn't your Moon around 4 to 5 degrees Pisces

The New Moon is in late 13 degrees Pisces,and so it squares the Heliocentric Uranus Nodes.

Your Moon wouldn't come close to squaring the Heliocentric Uranus Nodes which actually be a good thing if you don't want too much instability in your life.
