I've been trying to find information about the significance of the Nodes overlaying Houses in synastry. Apart from a few general sentences on the subject, all I was able to dig up was this article online from 2013 by Nadia Gilchrest:

"In synastry, contacts to the natal South Node indicate each person’s involvement in the other’s past, and contacts to the North Node describe the role they can play in the future. This is usually analyzed in the context of person A’s planet aspecting person B’s Node. However, Nodal overlays to the houses are not discussed as often. These overlays are significant, but only under certain conditions.

The natal South Node represents past life, and comfortable (but limiting) habits in this life. Too much emphasis on the South Node can result in stagnation. This is where the North Node comes in; it marks the path that a person can take to evolve beyond their South Node, and reach their full potential. The Nodes function differently than planets. They are markers along the path that stretches from a person’s past to their future. They are not planetary energy. If your partner’s South Node falls in your 7th House, it won’t activate that house, and you may feel nothing.

However, there are circumstances where you will feel the impact of someone’s Nodes in your houses:

- if their Nodes conjunct or square one of your natal planets
- if their Nodes conjunct your angles (the cusps of your 1st, 7th, 4th or 10th Houses)

When someone’s North or South Node is activated by your planets or angles, the Node person’s experience of their past and/or future will be directly tied to you. You’ll feel this in the context of the house (in your chart) that their Node falls in."

I've read something similar about planets in aspect to the SN. Taking it one step further, I'm curious what role the House that another's node overlays might play in that equation.

Maybe an example will help?

A's 4H NN:
Squares B's Sun (1 degree)
Conjuncts B's Moon (1 degree)
Overlays B's 7H

B's 10H NN:
Squares A's Venus (1 degree)
Overlays A's 8H

Sorry guys, maybe I'm not being clear. I'm not talking about planets/angles in contact with the NN or SN. There is a wealth of information already on LL as well as on the internet about these contacts; what they might mean for the relationship as well as how it's "felt".

What I'm hoping to get into with this thread is what someone ELSE'S node does when it falls into a partner's HOUSE in a synastry comparison. Based on the article I referenced in the OP, the nodes won't always activate the House they fall into, but if they make significant contacts to a planet or angle, that node is then able to activate a partner's House. My question is basically "What happens after that?"

In my example, B's NN falls into A's 8H. B's NN makes a significant (according to the article) aspect to A's Venus, so it's now able to activate A's 8H. How would this be felt? Would B feel that intimacy between the two furthers his soul development in this life? Does this provide more information about the circumstances of a possible past life connection between these two?

Really? With no influence from VENUS? I've not found this. In the case of just MARS/SNODE, these have been my 'brothers in arms', as well as those who were literally fighting for the other side.

Yes, Auby, that's info I've found. I'll post links in a new thread so as to not derail this post.

So his NN is in my 4th -> his future path is tied to my soul or establishing a home/family with me?
(My Sun, Merc, Mars and POF are in his 4th too.)

And if my NN is in his 12th -> My future path is tied to his spiritual evolution?

Can anyone elaborate more on this or offer any insight based on what they've seen? I'm very curious to learn more.

And you are not going to find anything about this in a web search. Everyone thinks they know what is meant by nodal connections, but I do think that very few are aware of these enigmatic interactions of energy. They, I believe, are just out of our reach to really know what is meant by there our natal presence and our relationships. We think we can put our finger on it, but then, wait, something happens that was not expected leaving us to ponder why for whatever reason.

I believe the nodes are predictable, yet unpredictable at the same time if that makes sense. I feel like there is a part of their placement that can be expected, but there is always a curve ball. I've been studying the nodes for quite a while now, and I believe that we are given what they promise by placement either natally or through synastry, that causes us to expect what will happen, but throws a wrench in it so to speak.this axis is on a totally different plane...one that we cannot predict so easily, yet one we desire to understand so deeply for our own benefit.

My take on it to this point, is it a portal of faith. Similar to believing in a higher power, but maybe not if you are not so inclined. Nonetheless, it is a mysterious energy focal point that will affect us, but we can't really fully grasp the meaning behind it.

My north node falls in my boyfriend’s first house,
BUT it squares his MC literally 2 seconds from exact.

My NN also squares his Moon and Mars.

It’s crazy you mentioned my past/ and or present experience will be directly tied to the planet person.
