Vertex
"What does the word vertex mean? The word vertex comes from the Latin root word vertere, meaning to change, to turn, turn frequently or spin. It also can mean a crowning point, summit, top or crest. Words having this Latin root include vertebrae, (joint, having something to turn on) vertigo (dizzy, disoriented, spun out) vertical (from top to bottom) versatile (doing many things at once, to turn from one thing to another) and verticil (a circular arrangement around a fixed point, a whorl). The common theme here highlights change or movement, from one point to another, where the center remains fixed or the same."

"The vertex appears as a sensitive point linked to fateful encounters with others, seemingly sudden epiphanies, turning points in life and a destiny over which we have no control. Activated, it can synchronize with an experience of another whose effect registers as some degree of profound or extraordinary."

Squares:
"Squares often point to energies that need work in order to integrate them easily into the interaction. While lack of understanding and frustration can be the result, they can also create just the right amount of tension to produce excitement in a relationship. Growth-oriented individuals will find that these "discordant" energies can spur them to new heights of understanding. " http://www.cafeastrology.com/articles/synastry.html

Square to Nodal Axis in synastry:
"Karmic condition exists:
– Two people have had prior life connections where
something occurred that caused a separation to
occur between them.
– Relationship has been interrupted – something did
not come to completion.
....
Intention is to repeat conditions to resolve and
evolve the relationship."

on how the aspect can manifest natally:

There doesn't seem to be a lot on Vertex out there.

Both of these are Axes. That is to say, if you have one, there is another straight across from it.

The Vertex is an electrical point, the impulses seem to me to come in there, and give catalystic effect into the Opposite House.

For me, it is a Mars effect going through to the Twelfth House, so I notice the effect of that Mars Planet on others through my Twelfth House.

If you have the Nodes Squaring, that makes it a Grand Cross formation. I will put that Chart Pattern interpretation at the end of this.

When you have a Planet that Squares the Nodes, they call that a "Skipped Step." That is perhaps something you refuse to face at an earlier time, so now it is brought to bear over and over again, until you learn to deal with it.

Really, it's a major pain in the butt.

With Vertex there, this would be doubly emphasized and electrified. Maybe it comes out in the Eleventh House things? Friends, Groups, Humanitarian Efforts?

Grand Cross

First: this person is a rare bird. This chart type seldom comes up; and is the single most used (and useful) of them all; they should prepare to be accessed. Folks like this are born with information somehow imbedded in their very physical fabric, information of enormous use to others and the world they find themselves living in. They are one of these and the key word for this Chart Type is “seminal,” so take note. This person’s influence will be felt by everyone who comes to know them, and almost everything they touch will bring results, but not always for them, personally.

And this too is important: this person’s gifts don’t depend on what they do or say, not even in how they appear or what they do. Think about that for a moment. It is what we ARE that is important and the information (if we can call it that) that this person carries embedded in their very genes and very self. This person has only to make themselves available and helpful to others for them, and whatever they represent, to benefit and take advantage of what they carry locked in their makeup.

I think the VERTICES square the NODES is significant when part of a greater pattern.

The MOON conjunct MARS is within orb at 5º. That's fine. And definitely a doozy. There's a karmic debt or experience here involving impulsivity and flying off the handle; I get the sense that MARS reacted to the MOON's emotional volatility, and the whole thing might've collapsed.

Or the northnode person maybe feels the vertex person gets in the way of NN person's personal growth or getting ahead.

Or the vertex person pushes the NN person to face lessons he or she is not ready to face and resists it.

In all but 2, there was a Vx, NN connection. And most of the time it was a square.

In my opinion, after conducting that little survey, I believe the sq is just as significant/powerful as a conjunction as long as it's fairly tight.
