Some LL people already know that both my Sun and Moon are tightly squared to my Nodes.

I don't tend to find a lot of information on this configuration out there.

Anyone have insight into this aspect, especially involving both luminaries?

I realize that my Sun and Moon would probably tend to hold me back from my higher path, in that sense (emotions and...I don't like saying that the Sun represents our "ego", it seems like it should be less petty than that).

Thoughts?

Interesting!

Will be back later to jump into this discussion.

Hello!

The first thing that jumps to mind is, that having your core identity (sun) and basic needs (moon) squaring the life-purpose, would mean that you'd have to let go of, or rise above what you consider to be your most instinctive needs. And, expand radically, in tangential directions, your definition of 'me-ness'.

(I dunno though, I'm just ad-libbing.)

BUT, on the other hand...

The descriptions of NN in Sag mention some qualities that you do have, in different forms, in your chart already. It's probably a matter of harnessing those and using them to overcome (or expand), the path set out by your sun and moon.

For instance, the Uranus-conjunct-IC embodies a bit of the gypsy spirit and the willingness to explore that goes with it. A part of the expression of self also comes from the Ascendant. And yours is in Leo. Now i don't know if it trines your NN or not, but the signs are trined - that oughtta be helpful to some extent. The fixedness, loyalty and dignity of this, serves to counteract the quicksilver mutability of the Gemini south node.

I leave the rest (for instance, the venus in Aries, Uranus trine sun, sextile moon) up to you to explore, since you know your chart better...

All in all, what I think is, though there may be a struggle, as you will certainly read about when you look into the luminaries squaring the nodes; you are equipped with the strengths you need to tackle this.

Thanks, Elysia!

It is an odd configuration, I think (especially within about a degree or less), but you have good points regarding other aspects/placements in my chart that help me "go with the flow" without much hassle.

Yeah, I'll have to think on it a bit more, because transcending my Moon is a tough one for me.

Edited...

I am dork!, your birthday is this month not in March LOL, I am super sick and with my P so excuse my brain...So you are a Pisces with moon in virgo, the reverse of me and your nodes are the reverse of my nodes. Maybe we are both suppose to learn something from the other.

I would like to know more details to interpret such as sun house placement, nodal house placement and what your sun and moon rule.

Hey,

I don't like to look at it like that and I think you will like what I am going to say.

I feel that the expression of your sun and moon serving the houses it falls on will be vital in you fulfilling your higher path, those two planets are your allies and the key of you balancing your nodes which is the real purpose of our life path to grow into our northnode while still maintaining our southnode gifts and finding a balance between the two. A square allows you to continue working on perfecting the expression of your southnode while you incorporate new skills from your northnode and links the past to your future, giving this continuity to it all. You are probably like me nostalgic but also future oriented, sometimes moving back into the past to move forward and make bold moves that will put you out of your comfort zone.

I guess with a skipped step we are here to develop skills and will keep ourselves entertained an entire lifetime growing a certain skill set represented by the skip step. Where as with planets that form a trine and sextile to our nodes the gifts are innate and we were born with them already. Perhaps in our next lifetime our skipped step will be a sextile and trine to our nodes instead.

Violets... I don't know your chart. Found out yesterday in a different post that you have a Leo Rising Chart.

Your NN Sag is in your 5th house?

Interesting so your NN is in Sag and Mine is in Gemini. Now that explains why every time you are going to be blunt you say something like 'I probably sound like a jerk but...' hahaha I guess your southnode in gemini feels uncomfortable being blunt yet your nothnode is pushing you to be a bit more like that..

I could totally be way off, I am just playing around; I like psychoanalyzing so not meant to be taken too seriously.

By itself this configuration is like a propulsion of both ambitious/vital energies (Solar) alternating with (Lunar) the sensation/intuition of personal subjective need. Imaginative reach (Sun-Pisces) balanced by personal practicalities (Moon-Virgo). As you are able to relate that way with others, keeping that balance, you'll meet your purpose naturally.

Moon/hesitance/need draws from S.Node, Sun/confidence/desire aims one at N.Node.

It is a high call to full balance within self through interaction with the world.

Then added to this, you have Mars [21S47] Parallel N.Node [21S13], and Saturn 22N36 Parallel S.Node. So this emphasizes these 'poles' even more!

But, of course, poles or 'ends' are the illusion in a dualistic, linear-minded world. There is no spiritual pot of purpose at the end of the N.Node 'rainbow' and falling back on what is familiar and most known does not necessarily activate 'negative karma.'

It is all about developing full balance for your soul, and you've got a configuration here that cries out for it more than most charts!

Maybe you are just really ambitious this lifetime to try for it

Eh...yes, it is interesting that our Nodes are reversed, as are our Sun/Moon.

I have enough interesting placements that I can be quite blunt in real life, but it is never pretty. So I try to avoid it when I'm online, and have the delete button handy.

I've had cause to contemplate that.

Literally? Because I have Saturn in H11, and I can't stand interacting with the world. I prefer to do that in a very light, Aqua Mercury fashion, and go on my way.

Or, alternatively, I like to interact with schizophrenic folk and elderly people with dementia. At work.

My Sun is in H8, Moon in H2 (both intercepted, although I'm not sure if it's the house or the signs that are intercepted, honestly).

NN barely in H5, SN barely in H11.

Also, I think I've noted in previous threads...

Sun 6.45
Moon 5.46

My Mars is square my Nodes, and I thought it might actually spur me on to do what I need to do - otherwise my Moon/Venus could keep me in my SN rut.

Yes, I do like that.

I'm still not entirely clear on the concept of a skipped step, though.

This sounds like me.

And I want to reach through the screen and hug the puppy that was posted above. Adorable.
