Books, websites, articles that dig deeeeeeeep into the lunar nodes? I keep finding very generic things; I want to go deeper into the signs and houses. I would like to know how the nodes play out under sign + house combos. I'm not satisfied with what I'm finding! :P IP: Logged |

Astrology for the Soul, by Jan Spiller.40+ pages allocated to NN in each sign ... and some 520 pages in total. But, Martin Schulman's The Moon's Nodes and Reincarnation is the 'must have" book ... if copies of this 1975 publication are still available (ISBN 0-87728-288-9). IP: Logged |

I doubt that you will find what you are hoping for. ... After explaining how to separately interpret the nodes in their specific signs and houses, the astrology gurus just advise their students to "use intuition and experience" to blend/synthesise the two interpretations - for which the UK technical term is "wing it from here onwards".

Thanks Graham, you always seem to rescue my dumb butt. It's actually your explanations and links that help me understand more deeply. I do understand that astrology is all about taking the symbols and intuitively interpret them lol! I'm just looking for something beyond the general "WORK HARD PLAY HARD! YOLOOOO" for my Aries NN. For example, when I asked for your help with the career chart, everything I could find on Virgo was "service, picky, crotchety" etc but your Youtube link about Virgo (especially the painter example) helped me see the true breadth of application to the Virgin symbol. Safe to say that I'm looking for as many angles rather than just the typical 3-word sentences. IP: Logged |

I agree with teasel that Astrology for the Soul provides the most in-depth interpretations currently available [b}]for interpreting the North Node in every zodiac sign[/b].However ... unlike Martin Schulman ... Jan Spiller assumes that signs = houses. ... So, she advises that those with NN in (say) 5th house should read the chapter on NN in Leo.

I'd forgotten that. It's been over a decade since I read it. I have another book on my kindle, that might be the other one mentioned here, involving nodes and past lives. I can't remember what it's called. I'll check later. IP: Logged |

I see that Amazon are selling :-North Node Astrology: Rediscovering Your Life Direction and Soul Purpose ... Paperback – March 11, 2009 ... by Elizabeth Spring. I have not read it, but a "look inside" this book (of 300+ pages) reveals a very comprehensive Table of Contents that includes interpretations for the Nodes in both houses and signs.
[Amazon's sellers are also offering used copies Karmic Astrology, Volume 1: The Moon's Nodes and Reincarnation (Karmic Astrology) ... Paperback – June 1, 1975 ... by Martin Schulman]
And, http://theastrocodex.com/lunar-nodes-astrology/ may be worth looking at, by anyone that has not already done so. IP: Logged |

Martin Schulman's description of NN in Aries differs considerably from his description of NN in 1st house. For example ... "the biggest lessons (for NN in Aries) center around learning how to make the head rule the heart" ... and ... "the highest growth potential (for NN in 1st house) is to establish a sense of self without shutting off completely the benefits of marriage and partnerships". IP: Logged |

Thanks to this thread and Graham's recommendation, I've ordered all four books' series of Martin Schulman's "Karmatic Astrology". Can't wait to read them, as this is the most intriguing aspect of astrology in mine eyes. So I thank cthonicstar for this thread and Graham for his recommendation.IP: Logged |

Jan Spiller's book is good, but probably not the in-depth learning you're looking for. However, I think its framework and intent make it a good introductory book. Just don't take it (too literally) as a cook book for interpretation.------------------

Hindu astrology gives MUCH in-depth information. Vedics call them 'Rahu' (NN) and 'Ketu' (SN). IP: Logged |

Another to check out is The Lunar Gospel by Cal Garrison. She includes a generous section on the Moon's nodes both in signs and houses. IP: Logged |

I´ve so far have noticed a bit of a pattern of the Nodes in relation to strongly connected other lives. I know of 3 people who have received a lot of inner and outer information linking them to a particular Soul, and in these 3 cases, the ¨latter¨ incarnated person has the same South Node Sign as the other Soul´s Sun Sign. One case is Bruce Moen and Bob Monroe. Bob Monroe wrote in one of his books about finding out that his larger/expanded/Spirit self had two other Souls going on roughly concurrent with his lifetime. Bruce Moen many years later writes in his 3rd book of learning that a female friend and he, were part of the same Expanded self that Bob was also part of. Interestingly, these 3 people all became friends with each other. Bob Monroe was born first and was born under Scorpio Sun. Bruce Moen was born with Scorpio South Node. Bob and Bruce had a strong energetic and karmic connection. I believe Bruce´s claim because I had a dream confirming it. (Though Bob and Bruce both write about their female self, no one knows too much about her as she is reported to be a rather private person). Another case involves a woman that was born under Aquarius Sun and then later died under Aquarius Sun. A woman born many years later, that has the above woman´s Soul as a big chunk of her Soul dynamic, has Aquarius South Node. A further case involves a man that was born under Pisces Sun. Someone born awhile after he died, that has a strong energetic and karmic connection to him, was born with Pisces South Node. I doubt this happens all the time, and I really need more data before I could call this a larger pattern, but so far its interesting. There are some interesting cases in the Edgar Cayce readings relating astrological patterns to connected incarnations. For one example, there is a case of a baby that died August 24th. Later on, parents of a young baby who had been born on August 24th, requested a Life reading for the baby, and Cayceś guidance linked the present baby´s Soul with the Soul of the baby who had died on August 24th.

Catching up on the threads, thank you for the amazing recommendations!! I'm currently perusing some of the above listed resources. Vedic astrology does indeed have incredibly detailed information about the Nodes...thanks for the guidance! IP: Logged |

You'd have to get your Vedic chart data (free links*), then start listening to the 'nakshatra' {a division of the constellation} that your nodes are located in. Here is the link to where/how to get your free chart.
(See the last two urls, in first post.)
- http://www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/Forum23/HTML/000016-2.html Also, discern the House Axis in your (?I believe it's called the Lagna(?) ) that your nodes belong to; and, if any planets conjunct those nodes.
I haven't had the patience to get into anything more, but a friend of mine was posting about Vedic astrology on Sunday, on Facebook.. She offered to tell me something about my chart, something about possibly being ketu-dominant. IP: Logged |
