Sabian Symbol:
3-4 deg Sagittarius

A Little Child Learning To Walk With The Encouragement Of His Parents

4-5 deg Sagittarius

An Old Owl Sits Alone On The Branch Of A Large Tree

Kaminsky:
4º Sagittarius: Two arrows crossed and surrounded by zones of glistening white light.
Denotes one who has a tendency to pull in opposite directions. The struggle between the desires and right will be constant, and an act of hostility will be followed by deep remorse. It is a fight between the world of matter and the world of spirit. There may be peculiar changes in life, and that which is most unexpected is that which is most likely to happen. It is a symbol of Wavering.

Sabian Symbol:
3-4 deg Gemini

Holly And Mistletoe Reawaken Old Memories Of Christmas

4-5 deg Gemini

A Revolutionary Magazine Asking For Action

Kaminsky:
4º Gemini: A human face, the expression calm and serene, a silvery triangle pointing upwards below, a dark square above.
Denotes one of spirituality and kindness who meets with trials and who is pressed under the rough heel of materialism and the greed of the world. Even so, the serene aura will flow from him as water down a mountain slope, cultivating those who come near. The conscience is strong, and be loathes evil and unworthy actions. This is a peculiar degree, and certain horoscopes will force an entirely opposite interpretation. It is a symbol of Transcendentalism.

Thinking on how to take the transitting nodes, especially if they touch on a personal planet or if there is something in your chart at 4 degrees of any sign - I figured it would be nice to get a better handling on what it could mean for us.

This was a pretty good read www.astrologycom.com/nodes.html

There is a great chart on the bottom of this http://www.lunarliving.org/astrology/transiting_lunar_nodes.shtml link that can give a better understanding of how a transitting node conjuncting any of your planets, may come about in your life.

That chart on the second link looks very helpful. I'll have to compare it to my experiences. Transiting NN is coming up on my Venus so that'll be a good time to investigate.

I used to have a book called Charting the Times of Your Life by Gary Goldschneider. He breaks the zodiac down into 48 "personology periods," and claims that as the sun passes over each period, everyone is experiencing that same energy at once, regardless of natal charts. I studied this for about four years until I was convinced there was truth to the idea. For instance, the Pisces-Aries Cusp tends to be tumultuous and difficult every year...there is a restless, stubborn energy to it, and people just tend to ague more. Ditto for the Aries-Taurus Cusp...which is actually one of the craziest, most violent cusps of the year.

At the end of the book, he provides readings in a similar vein for the transiting nodes: the theory is, everyone feels each nodal axis and a general "push" to go in a certain direction, depending on the transiting nodes.

Unfortunately he only provided readings for about five years after the publication of the book. So I have used his other book The Secret Language of Destiny, which is all about the nodes, to piece together my own interpretations, just for my own sake, usually. But what the heck, I'll share my theory with you:

Right now I would say that with the NN in the first decan of Sag, which is associated with a serious, loyal, honest energy, people will feel more inclined to take greater responsibility for others, get to the bottom line...moving away from "talk for talk's sake" and taking on difficult tasks.

I am also more keenly aware lately of how we all have to pitch in together to make better communities. This is the Sag spirit: international, philosophical, humanitarian. The Sabian symbol also seems to fit.
