I have been following the node transits and monitoring their effect...

They don't seem to have any affect at all...

What do you think ? What are your experiences ?

Remember the Nodes are not bodies, but phantoms that mark the points at which the ecliptic (Sun's path) crosses the Moon's path. They relate more to internal processes than external events perceived to 'happen to' a person.

Such transits need to be accompanied by some planetary transits -- not necessarily to the same point in longitude (could be in declination) -- but strongly/tightly enough to give added energy, for example, to the natal Nodes.

I think they do have powerful effects going by the words of a few people I respect as well as my personal observations so far. I've heard the opposite of what you've said, Kannon, that the transiting nodes are actually major indicators of tangible events, major crises, etc.

It is unusual to see a truly major nodal transit without any event taking place. The sky sort of has a way of arranging things so that they all happen at once... at least with me! When t.Nodes were square my nodes I discovered I was pregnant and my life changed dramatically. A very tumultuous time. When t.South Node was conjunct my vertex my father passed away.

I agree with Kannon that for really major and noticeable events and transitions to take place we will see concurrent significant transits of planets. For instance Pluto was conjunct my Moon when my Dad passed. But it was conjunct my Moon a long time, including when my daughter was born, but my Dad died when transiting nodes were on a major axis. Concurrently there was a new moon directly on my descendant.

The planets are always aspecting our charts somehow and will be colouring the energy of the nodal transits, no matter how subtle those transits may be. When you say you haven't noticed anything... do you mean your life has remained exactly the same? Are you talking hard aspects or soft? To planets or angles? I think we can sort of rank nodal transits the same way we might rank importance in the rest of our studies... by the importance of the planets in your personal chart, by whether angles are involved, by the aspect's harmonic, etc.

I think if you look deeply you'll likely notice at least subtle shifts in perspective, changes in terms of the working of karma in your life, etc. Especially with hard aspects of the nodes to angles, and to the nodes themselves.

But as Bernadette Brady points out in Predictive Astrology, there is about 5% of the population who do not respond to transits the same as the rest of us... i think that's what she says. So maybe you're one of them.

There is a thread about this already open right now, and active. Did you see it?

I am a double cap. Transiting NN & Jupiter is in my 9th house. I have stellium in the 1st house ( sun, mercury, venus )...
Sun and Mercury trines over. Now, Venus trine is activated...
NN & SN aspects I have for the time being :
trs. Mercury, Jupiter, NN trine n.Venus
trs. SN sextile Venus & trine Saturn
and I have trs.Pluto conjunct Venus as well..
I am having the biggest heartbreak of my life.. Bleeding...
I was so looking forward to these aspects cause I thought they would bring me love that completely renews me...
I know we have to consider the whole chart... Rest of the transits are just plain horrible and I can identify their effects on my life, on my spritual path...
But Jupiter coupled up with NN trining all these personal planets... I think I agree with @Cannon because even though my life has turned upside down in so many ways, I am quite positive about all the hardships I am going through, I see the silver linings. No external bright, shiny events.. but internaly I am at peace with existance and all the things come along with it…
Externaly ? I am not able to relate the current events to my nn transits...
BUT.. as I laid down last night thinking what about SN aspects… It hit me.. I have n.moon in the 6th house 9 degree in conjunction with n.SN which means trs.SN will square my n.moon SN conjunction further down the line… My mom was diagnosed as Alzheimer at the beginning of last year. Trs. Neptune squaring my moon, Trs.Saturn opposing my moon… It progressed really fast… I am the caregiver. “ really major and noticeable events and transitions to take place we will see concurrent significant transits of planets “ which makes me think my mom might pass away when the square from SN to moon is activated…
Thank you so much Kannon & Yungang for sharing your knowledge and correcting my wrong judgement on trs. Nodes..
But why o why NN transits don’t show up as external events ? Where is the love of my life 
