What are Lunar Nodes?
(from recent events, the sign change of Node)
The lunar nodes are not planets or fixed stars but astronomically calculated intersection points of the career of the moon with the sun (ecliptic). Runs the moon's orbit from south to north, it is called ascending or North Node or the "dragon head". If the moon is moving from the north and south, one speaks of the Descending Node or Southern or "dragon tail".
The lunar nodes are moving backwards through the zodiac. You pass through a zodiac takes 19 months, one full moon cycle node 18 ½ years. Southern and North Node are always polar opposite each other to form an opposition in the chart axis. However, usually only the Northern MK in the chart is located.
The ephemeris distinguish between mean and true (true ) lunar nodes whose positions are slightly different from each other. Yesterday, on 13.2.11, the average North Node moving from Sagittarius into Capricorn. The real MK exchanges a few days later, on 19.2. the sign of Sagittarius, moving decline of 1 ° Capricorn to 30 degrees Sagittarius.
am I then in the next Entry closer to one.
's interpretation of the lunar node in the chart
For the interpretation of a horoscope, the MK-axis is of particular importance because it gives information about the relationship of sun and moon, yang and yin, conscious and unconscious. In classical astrology the lunar nodes were always seen as points of connections and encounters. The south nodes shows old connections, the North Node, the new forward-looking. Everyone can check in his chart when he compares the personal planets of the people close to him with his MK-positions.
When I started in 1981, the book series Karmic Astrology (Urania Verlag) translated by Martin Schulman into German, beat the 1 Volume in this series Node and reincarnation already like a flash in the minds of all astrological researchers an. And even people without prior knowledge of astrology was based on Schulman's insightful descriptions extract the essence of their life purpose or spiritual development of their individual Node position. This book has remained a hit and has helped me personally to a comprehensive astrological perspective.
The interest and the need for a holistic interpretation of the birth chart are time-and developmentally. With the moon as a key node We recognize our life issue as the thread that runs through our lives and all our areas of experience. The two lunar nodes are for the individual looking and fate determinant, two magnetic soul points: one grounded in the past, the other has, as a leading upwards spiral in the future.

On south nodes of the moon acts as an automated distribution and excretion of the digested and absorbed by the ground force that was once used to solar power.
The south nodes is therefore automatically become patterns of behavior, reaction and structures of the past (childhood, past lives) - even for already developed skills that were in the recent development of importance, but which now no further progress is possible. On North Node we prefer, however, exactly the experience that we can make progress by seeking, where we act sunlike aware and make decisions. While we are on South nodes, the point of "self-dissolution," scatter our forces or wasting, by insisting compulsively and repeatedly on certain views, attitudes or behavior patterns that we learn at the north node to trust the call of life, aware of new experiences, forces and connections to open. We learn along the way rich blessing and joy of the integration, if we seek the qualities of the North Node sign and integrate them into the designated area of our lives (house).
Dane Rudhyar describes in his book "Astrology of personality" (p. 265) the mode of action of the two lunar nodes using image of the dragon: The dragon's head (north node) is taken to new food, on the dragon's tail (south nodes) separated.
Summary
south nodes: gateways to the past (personally and karma), previous sources of strength and skills. Failure to adapt to new conditions and circumstances. Stick to the old, familiar. Inertia. Automatism, compulsion, old patterns of behavior and ideas. Point of dissolution and separation - from the false self-image, security and familiar relationships that are associated with these old habits / attitudes related.
North Node: gateway to the future (solution of karma and old patterns). New way of growth and expression. To develop new life goals, tasks and challenges with the possibility of new attitudes and practices which we have the experience of wholeness and integration. Our individuation, in which we fight for us all and achieve what we need to wholeness yet. Conscious attunement with spiritual and evolutionary forces. New contacts and meetings - both to our innermost being and to people with whom we are connected to the heart. The next entry then substantive information for the sign change of the North Node from Capricorn to Sagittarius - for the next 19 months.
