c./It1olLan /(gparkar is a graduate of the
University of Rochester. He received his Ph.D. in
Mechanical Engineering in 1972. Surprisingly his
interest in engineering began to disappear as he
continued his graduate studies. Beyond a certain
point, he realized the dryness of the subject and
decided to do something uncommon for a change.
Being highly serious about astrology, he concen-
trated his efforts in that direction. Things happened
very fast and in a matter of a few years, he finished
six excellent texts on astrology. Besides his usual
teaching, lecturing and writing activities, he is busy
with his individual and corporate clients.

DEDICATION
This book is dedicated to my mysterious 'SOUL MATE' with
whom I shared a couple of past lives.
I am also very grateful to all the direct and indirect support
provided by that SOUL.
The following is the most inspired poem by that Soul, which will
be a part of my forthcoming book of poetry.
Two dark eyes
persistent in actions
filled with compassion
hungry for emotions
deep in those eyes
world was enclosed
colorfully composed
beautifully exposed
life had a structure
into that deepness
I stared helplessly
into that madness.

INTRODUCTION
In astrological studies, the importance of the Lunar Nodal Axis
is not significantly given by many students. One of the prime
reasons for this neglected area is the lack of available
information on the Lunar Nodes. Several books touch on this
topic, but none deals with enough information to completely
justify as a book on the Lunar Nodes.
In this text, an entirely new concept of understanding the nodal
significance is put together which will shed considerable light
as to one's Karmic destiny in this life. These delineations are
derived out of the special process of "Magnification" and each
controlling minor aspect is discussed in the book. In this
fashion, one would know their Karmic input in life and how they
are supposed to distribute their energies in this lifetime.
Other chapters include the usual aspects to the nodes by all the
planets in the natal, as well as the progressed, conditions. The
effects of transiting nodes on the natal planets are discussed.
along with transiting planets over the Nodal axis. The Nodes in
chart comparison are quite interestingly presented here as a
supplimentary compatibility criteria.
Nodes in each sign and in each house arp, briefly discussed to
make this book on Nodes a complete work.

BASIC CONCEPT OF LUNAR NODES
Most significant of all planetary nodes are the Lunar Nodes, the
Moon being the closest light near Earth. The influence of the
Moon is very strong in a natal chart and similarly, the influence
of Lunar Nodes is very significant in the life of a soul. By normal
definition, Lunar Nodes are the diametrically opposite points
created by the intersection of the path of the Moon with the
plane of the ecliptic. When the Moon crosses from the southern
latitudes to get into northern latitudes, the point is called the
North Node. Similarly, when the Moon changes from northern
latitudes to southern latitudes, that point becomes the Lunar
South Node.
Since the nodes are not real points (lights) in the usual
astronomical system, their significant and proper use has
always been considerably esoteric in nature. The basic concept
we are going to pursue regarding the nodes in a chart is that it
acts as a vacuum tube connecting the Unknown Past (Karma)
and the Known Present. In other words, nodes bridge the gap
between the previous form of soul to the present soul structure.
It also enables us to extrapolate the present soul structure and
its possible connection to the future soul form. This
automatically ties us down with a concept of some form of
reincarnation process. If the regenerative capabilities of a soul
are not valid, then the nodal connection does not have any
practical significance in a chart. I do not want to get into the
argument as to the "law of conservation of souls" or the type of
form that is probable and the forms that are forbidden, etc. For
example, what would the soul in a chart of a country be like?
Can it be transformed into a normal human form? Often we do
charts that are not associated with normal soul or body
concepts; e.g. Horary Charts. What happens to the significance
of nodes in those charts? We may have a lot of discussion in
these areas. However, let us concentrate on the charts that have
a unique 'body and soul' structure.
As a simple rule, the South Node brings the past life, or Karmic,
influence through the nodal axis which is utilized through the
North Node in the chart. Thus, the South Node becomes the
suction point for all incoming Karmic energy from the past
incarnations. This energy is then processed by that individual
7
and redistributed into this present life with the network set forth
by the North Node. The distribution network of the North Node
consists of the Grand Trine houses that include the location of
the North Node in the chart. Thus, if the North Node is in the 4th
house, its distribution network willconsist of houses 4,8, and 12.
Since this is a Grand Trine of houses, the same network will be
used whether the North Node is in the 4th house, the 8th house
or the 12th house. The areas covered by the 'network' are quite
significant in the life of that person regard ing the Karmic growth
during that lifetime. In short, we have just one oncoming point
(house) for the inlet of Karma and it is distributed and utilized in
three-way system (3 houses) during the lifetime of that indi-
vidual. The South Node position tells us where it is all coming
from:
(1) North Node in 1st, 5th, 9th houses.
(2) North Node in 2nd, 6th, 10th houses.
(3) North Node in 3rd, 7th, 11th houses.
(4) North Node in 4th, 8th, 12th houses.
A word or two about the Caste System before the explanation
begins: the Caste System that has anciently been used in India
for thousands of years was based upon the simple division of
labor in the society.
(1) The group with the North Node in the 1st, 5th, and 9th
houses is responsible for intellectual and creative
growth in the society. Showing the way to do things and
working out the plans are their basic functions. Philosophical
elevation and guidance are also their supportive duties. This
was the Brahmin Group.
(2) The group with the North Node in the 2nd, 6th, 10th
houses is responsible for the business and material
structure of the society. Economic growth and maintenance of
the financial end are their significant duties. This was the Trader
Group.
(3) The group with the North Node in the 3rd, 7th, 11 th
houses is responsible for peace and harmony in the
society. These were the watchdogs or soldiers of the society.
Execution of orders and protection of the social structure from
wars and aggression was their significant duty. This was the
Warrior Group.
8
(4) The group with the North Node in the 4th, 8th, 12th
houses has the function of doing whatever is needed
and ordered by the other groups. Basically, they are considered
Trainees in Life. For some reason, this group fulfills the most
Karmic balance in this lifetime as their learning experiences are
considerable in detail. This was the Untouchable Group.
These classifications are extremely broad in nature and in the
present society this structure is not very well seen anymore.
However, their resemblance to the old Caste System is
remarkable in spite of the timely changes in the society.

GENERAL NODE CONCEPT BASED UPON THEIR MODE
OF OPERATION THROUGH SIGNS AND HOUSES
Since the South Node has been assigned the responsibility of
inlet of Karma from the past life and the North Node is
responsible for the Karmic distribution in this life; their positions
through the signs and houses will enable us to understand more
of the Karmic destiny or function of that individual in this
lifetime.
The four elemental levels are as follows:
____ Fire: Aggressiveness, dynamic energy.
____ Air: Intellectuality and communication.
---- Water: Sensitivity and emotionalism.
---- Earth: Practicality and materialism.
Each sign has its elemental quality such as Fire, Air, Water,
Earth. Knowing the position of the nodes in the signs, we can
expect the flow of Karmic energy for that individual. Thus, if
someone has North Node in Aries and South Node in Libra, we
can say his Karmic flow is from" Air" qualities from the previous
life into this life...then convert "Air" into "Fire" in this lifetime.
In a similar fashion, each house is given a natural sign... 1st
house - Aries, 6th house - Virgo, etc. By knowing the house
positions of the nodes, we can also form another flow direction
which mayor may not support the previous flow direction
through signs.
The following table will be of great use in diagnosing the nodes
and their Karmic flow:

GENERAL DESCRIPTIONS OF ELEMENTS
Even though the elements are basically classified as active or
extrovert (Fire and Air) and passive or intorvert (Water and
Earth), it is essential to study them in detail individually. Even
though .Fire and Air both produce activity and stronger
d.iffer considerably in their channeling or
manifestation. Similarly, the appropriate distinction between
the passive elements, Water and Earth, needs to be understood.
FIRE: It is a basic energy associated with the universal ran-
. dom radiation. Spontaneity or erruptive nature is a part
of Its character. Strong individuality and identity associated
with an impulsive driving force is noticed in this element. Fire
also a higher form of spirits and free-floating freedom
that likes to be associated with the universe but as a distinct unit
or a. recognized functional part. Strong will power,
domlneenng nature, and excellent powers of persuasion are
noticed in this element.
AIR: It is a basic energy associated with mind and intellect in
form of ideas in action. Communication is a major
task of this element. Understanding, analysis and externalization
are its vital functions. Planning an action is a significant part or
contribution performed by the Air element. Converting the
abstraction into a practical reality or vice versa is often noticed
with this element. Synthesis and logic, either on a casual and
lower level, or with reference to the higher consciousness level
is activated by this element without any difficulty. '
WATER: This is the energy associated with sensitivity, feelings
and emotionalism. The concept of faith and belief is
highly significant in this element. The driving force of the
conscious actions is furnished by the deeper subconscious, or
th.e unconscious mind. Motivations, based upon feelings
without any standard logic, are highly important functions of
this element. Intuitiveness and psychic abilities are probably
the simple outcomes of this element and its dominance.
EARTH: The basic mode of operation of this element is practi-
cality and material significance. The physical senses
12
are highly prominent which decide the down-to-earth thinking
and action. Skepticism has great scope in this element and
nothing exists unless it has a 'form' that can be identified in the
general attitude. Providing a matter-of-fact attitude and a
practical structure for everything is the general purpose of this
element.
By knowing where the nodes are in the chart, one can estimate a
general Karmic attitude or function in that life. Keep in mind,
this is not exactly what the whole life is going to be, but an
attitude in general that will guide that soul in that life. For
example:
The North Node in Aquarius in the 4th house, which is
the same as the South Node in Leo in the 10th house....
here the past-life Karmic energy (South Node) is coming from
the fire (Leo) element by sign position and Earth (10th house)
element by house position. Karmic energy distribution (North
Node) is happening through Air (Aquarius) element by sign
position and Water (4th house) element by house position.
Thus, the basic Karmic energy conversion can be represented
as follows:
Fire to Air (By Signs)
Earth to Water (By Houses)
Here both the conversions are converging to the com-
mon boundary of Air-Water domain.
If a person can bridge the gap between the interface of
Air and Water, the rest of the flow will be quite smooth.
Thus, the lesson the individual has to come up with is a common
interface or understanding between the logic and the emotions.
The ability to cope with and intermix feelings and thinking
processes is a must for the growth of that soul.
13
l
Here one node conversion (Fire ~ Air) is bringing higher
knowledge into something logical that can be easily
communicated. The other node conversion (Earth-.Water) is
trying to convert practical-materialistic attitudes into a better
understanding of feelings and sensitivity. This person has to
learn to be more sensitive and with ability, to use and trust his
feelings. Similarly ability to bring down higher philosophies
(Fire) into some logical communication (Air) is also a learning
or Karmic process. The last job is to establish a common
interface or medium for the intellectuality and feelings.
Please note that these element analyses will not tell you a
lifelong story but a path that is significant in the life of that
person.

KARMIC CONTROLS
The planets ruling the signs of the South and North Node axis
are called the controlling planets. Since the South Node IS the
inlet point for Karma, the planet ruling the sign of the South
Node is called the incoming, or past life, Karmic Control. Th.e
planet ruling the sign of the North Node controls the Karmic
distribution in this life. For this reason, it is called the Karmic
Distribution Control. The controlling planets have strong
implications depending upon where they fall in the chart and the
aspects they make with the nodal axis. This aspect made by the
controlling planet to the nodal axis is of great significance In
Karmic understanding. Since the nodes are the diametrically
opposite points, the aspects made by the planet to both t ~ e
nodes will be complementary. For all practical purposes, we Will
take the shortest or smallest aspect between the controlling
planet and the nodal axis: e.g.
North Node is 11 Li bra a
South Node is 11 Aries a
The controlling planets are Venus and Mars. If Mars was at 13
Scorpio and Venus at 22 Aries, then the controlling aspect
between Mars and South Node is between 13 Scorpio and 11
Aries which is 148
0
The complementary aspect is the smaller angle between the
Mars and the nodal axis. Thus, in this case, the aspect between
Mars and North Node is taken: (11 Libra to 13 Scorpio, which is
32).
Thus, the controlling aspect by Mars is 32
0
In the same fashion,
controlling aspect by Venus to the nodal axis will be from 11
Aries to 22 Aries. This equals 11.
In summary: First, locate the controlling planets that rule the
signs of the nodal axis. Then look for the shorter or closer
distance between the controlling planet and anyone of the
nodes. This closer aspect is taken for further study.
Just for an added delineation, keep in mind the actual aspect
between the appropriate controlling planet and the proper node.
15

The true aspect will give us a little more information regarding its
influence upon that native. For example, if North Node is 18
Aquarius and Uranus rules Aquarius which is at 18 Cancer, then the
actual controlling aspect is 150. For our aspect readings, we will
take the complementary aspect of 150(which is 1800-150=30).
Thus, the smaller aspect becomes 30, whereas the actual
aspect is 150. The descriptions given in the following pages will
apply for 150 and 30 which are the same. As an added
significance, 150aspect is far more fateful or destined than the
30 aspect.
In this manner, certain aspects will become better or worse in
their gradation depending upon whether the controlling aspect
or its complementary aspect is taken.
Conjunctions and Oppositions will be read in the same aspect.
However, the conjunction gives a lot more control to the
individual than does the opposition aspect. Example: if North
Node is at 5 Leo and South at 5 Aquarius, it is better to have the
I. Sun near 5 Leo in which case, the controlling aspect is a
conjunction in a true sense. On the other hand, if the Sun is
around 5 Aquarius, then the controlling Sun is making an
Opposition to North Node (Leo). Here the destiny, or Karmic
distribution, will be slightly difficult to control by that individual.
In both cases, we will read the aspect of Conjunction for
delineations anyway. However, by studying the case more
thoroughly, we get a deeper understanding of the situation.
If the controlling aspect is Trine and its complementary aspect
becomes Sextile, the quality of that aspect improves in our
judgment or readings. For example: North Node at 5 Leo -
South at 5 Aquarius.
Semi-Sextile is more constructive or less destructive than
a Quincunx aspect.
Semi-Square aspect is more stressful or powerful than a
Sesquisquare.
The other minor aspects do not really show significant
comparison differences.
Just find the shortest controlling aspect and read the analyses
from the following pages. The aspects are more significant than
the planets at this point.
{
I
If the Sun is around 5 Gemini, then the controlling aspect will be
Sextile. On the other hand, if the Sun is around 5 Sagittarius,
then the actual controlling aspect is a Trine, which is more
superior to the Sextile. For our aspect reading, both cases will
be taken as Sextile cases.
The Square aspect remains the same in both cases.
Hence, we do not have to discriminate this aspect as to the
gradation from the complementary aspects.

CONTROLLING ASPECTS
CONJUNCTIONS: Conjunctions provide a substantial con-
. . trol in the hands of the native regarding his
destinY Here, the choice of actions is solely given to the
IndiVidual as to the ways and means to achieve and fulfill his
Karmic lessons. Due.to the high human element being involved,
the can go either way regarding use of this most vital
Karmic Con.trol. one can fulfill sUbtantially
good KarmiC activity by utiliZing constructive circumstantial
manipulation. However, the danger exists for those who have
but cannot use it to their best advantage. The
Individuality plays a significant role in this aspect and the
can elevate himself far above the normal situations.
. growth is thus mostly achieved in this type of
configuration. Depending upon the worldly attachment, this
may assist the individuals surrounding him in search and
fulfillment of their Karmic destiny.
6 ASPECT: In a prior life, death during early childhood
. causes this situation or the present rein-
.. In this lifetime, Karmic liability is associated with
family or With mother, in particular; learning experiences seem
to come from the home environment. As a result, formation of
stronger ties, respect generation for the mother-figure
significant in this life. This person has to learn to work
other resources without sacrificing his own ego.
QUite often, spiritual communication or psychic sensitivity is
at early. ag,e. These unusual happenings or dealings
side baffle the surrounding people but not the
individual himself. The person feels homey in situations like
those as the soul transformation is very fresh and dormant at
.. This person has to learn to communicate his ego
In a positive and .expanslve way. This is necessary to keep the
flow consistent and at the same time, to release some of
Internal pressures. In the event this is not achieved, one
finds depths of buil.t-up inferiority complexes as one grows
older. Some form of Intellectual or communicative profession is
very helpful to these individuals.

8 ASPECT:
In this case, substantial amount of learn-
ing experience and growth is associated
18
with the lessons from marriage and partnerships. Often
relationships in this life have degenerated from the
brother/sister type of relationship of a recent incarnation. In
other words, you and your spouse are likely to be brother/sister
of each other in a recent past life. As a result of this, strong deep
understanding has alredy been established between the two to
resolve the issues on an esoteric level. The only weak side that is
left is to learn the materialistic side which this individual learns
but only along with his spouse or partner(s). Other significant
things they have to learn are to be objective in opinions ar.d be
able to see the other side of most situations. Often these peofJle
have set values and opinions regarding many things and at
times they sound self-centered or self-conscious.
go ASPECT: This aspect is often associated with long-
term physical or mental sickness, either to
the person or to someone in the near family. Learning from the
confinement caused by sickness and the ability to establish a
suffering status is highly under focus in this aspect. This can be
then caused by the personal difficulties and coping with it
directly, or you happen to get stuck with other's problems. Here
they cannot detach from these lesons that easily as they are
circumstantially involved with the other person. Examples can
have numerous combinations and dependency shown in each
case. Once the learning from the confinements and suffering is
done, you have freedom of choice of other things in life. Money
management and keeping a positive control over the cash flow
activities is very significant in this aspect. Periodic testing as to
how you do it is performed by circumstances in the form of
sudden financial benefits or losses. Occult interests or occult
resources are seen in this person.
10 ASPECT: This is quite a fortunate and powerful as-
pect. Strong personal elevation is sought
in life basically due to Karmic hidden support. Moneyand
resources become key issues behind the go-getter
professional image. Professionalism and individual identity are
extremely essential to the life of this person. Strong tensions
with father are noticed since early childhood. As this person
grows older, tensions or confrontations with' authority' become
significant. In a female horoscope, tensions and frustrations
from 'males' are noticed. Everything else in life has a secondary
significance beyond building one's ego and image. Any actions,
talents and plans to achieve the above things will be approved
instantly but the ones that are not so relevant to the goals will be

discarded. to this, the person has a glow of ruthlessness
but with diplomatic or modest front. Financial support from
marrrage IS seen, but true love/romance may not exist in it.
131/2 ASPECT: This aspect provides an unusual person-
ality trend. Here, the only people who can
reach deeply are your spouse or partner(s). Others find you
cold, thick-skinned or uncommunicative. Formation of many
deep relationships complete lack of any relationship is
noticed. experiences come from these real or
unreal relationships. Depending upon the previous balance of
in?ividua.' gets to enjoy generous
benefits or learns to live with himself
QUite. often you find these individuals go in a shell for a long
du:atlon of time not ?ecause there is anything wrong, but they
enJoy that t.ype of solitude. Another significant characteristic of
ths aspect IS the objective need for feedback from others. Even
externally this person projects tremendous self-
confidence and attitude regarding others, deep
he only fun.ctlon upon the receptivity from other's
feelings. This person either has full control over his activities or
complete lack of control, depending upon the rest of the chart.
15 ASPECT: In this aspect, family possessions and
. their resources become a key factor in the
growth of these individuals. If they are born in a rich
fan:lly, management or their constructive utilization is a
lea:nlng On the other hand, if they are born in a
with no sO?lal status, then establishing a social status or
bringing. t.h.e family to a financial level becomes a key
responsibility. Hard work IS a part of this aspect no matter what
they do. Ov.erwo.rk and physical sickness from nervousness is
often seen In .thls aspect. Good work habits are significant
outcome ?f th!s aspect. Hence, if the person refuses to learn
good habits,. cl.rcumstances will force the individual to do so.
Close .assoclatlon or deeper spirtual contacts with uncles and
aunts IS noticed. Living conditions are very significant to these
people and a lot of effort and resources will be tied up with
homes and properties.
18ASPECT: Substantial amount of intellectual re-
. sources are seen in this aspect. Learning
and. of talents seem to be the unique way of
fulflllmg your Karmic pattern. Dealings with money matters and
20
resources with your brothers/sisters is a part of this process.
Brother/sister type of relationships are highly pronounced in
their lives. A lot of activities are done with their support and
results shared with them. Short distance travel or short
relocation moves are quite likely for these people. Unfinished
brother/sister type of past life activity is given another chance in
this life to fulfill and complete the needed learning process.
Some connections with intellectual creativity - such as musical
composition or graphic art, etc., is often noticed in these
individuals. Their verbal communication is likely to have great
depth and hypnotic effect upon others. Thus, the
communication becomes a vital part and asset for these people.
22112 ASPECT: In this aspect, money and resources are
always key issues in life. Either too much
or too little resources will decide which way the person wants to
achieve things. Materialistic attitude is directly linked with the
balance of Karma to be achieved and fulfilled in this life. In other
words, a person born in a poor family will have stronger
materialistic attitudes developed as he grows older. Similarly,
the one who is born with financial self-sufficiency will detach
himself from the materialistic ways of life as he grows older. For
both of these types, middle age turns out to be a significant
turning point in their respective attitudes. These people often
have very polite manner of speech or 'sweet tongue'. This is an
essential part of their karmic living. For those who do not have
that, circumstances will teach them by force ho to be polite and
soft in communication. Unusual and unexpected happenings
are quite common for these people in several areas of their life.
Substantial amount of creativity is descended from their father's
side which helps these natives a great deal in life.
300 ASPECT: This is quite an ego building aspect which
gives the person frequent spells of super-
iority complex. Deep desire and need to succeed are often
associated with this aspect. With this aspect, resources and
possessions are considered as pivot points and as measures of
success. Due to their strong belief in themselves, they have
difficult time taking other's advice, no matter how good it is.
Even though they are confronted with circumstances, they will
not detach from their philosophies almost to the end.
The father-figure is highly important in these people's lives.
However, in many cases, vast differences in opinions or
21
450 ASPECT: In this aspect, the person experiences cir-
cumstantial frustrations caused by his
excessive aggressiveness. Lack of proper success in the
desired goals is noticed. Physical condition an.d health are very
significant in the life of this individual. This has .a
tendency to waste a lot of energy in the wrong pursuits. In this
case, the person wants to get away from the normal
routine. However, destiny and hard work seem to go hand In
hand. Thus, even if their job is monotonous and dislikeable, they
have to stick to it and carry through the work load. QUite
often, these people may be in the wrong type of job or they may
have many discontinuities in jobs. In many they to

of their strong ambitions. During their childhood,

ASPECT: This aspect provides quite a
life pattern. Free will for these people IS I.n
a very small quantity or rather, they do not like t? exercise their
free will options. Affairs of romance and children are very
significant regarding the learning experiences. They seem to
have extreme luck or complete lack of luck in this area. !hus,
repeated learning from romantic and from children
is a part of their Karmic growth. In certain cases, complete
of children, or unwanted separation from children

tendencies are highly seen and the loss/gain schedule.

periodic cycle.
The uncommon creativity is also noticed in these individuals
which they are drawing in from past life accomplishments.
Depending upon the balance of Karma from last life, many of
the above activities will be either constructive and blissful or
frustrating and miserable.

circumstantial separations from him are seen at an early age.
This is a part of a Karmic game plan just to prove the need of
'father-figure' in their lives. In cases where the real father is not
present, a substitute father-figure is essential to that identity's
Karmic growth. No matter how unselfish or detached their
personality and motives appear externally, there is a strong self-
conscious and self-centered image behind it.
36 ASPECT: This aspect strongly focuses the learning
experiences by the process of regenera-
tion or even concepts of death. Interests in the life after death
and life before birth are quite significant for these people.
Substantial devastating changes occur in the life of this person
or the people around him. Strong interest in the occult and
mysticism is forced upon this individual due to many
circumstantial happenings in his life. Sudden modification of
childhood philosophies and pressurized learning becomes a
vital part of his Karmic growth. Usually this is done on his own
time and interest or by circumstantial force. Affairs of secrecy
or hidden activities are very prominent in this person's life. Deep
sensuous feelings and overcoming the physical, sexual needs
are mixed blessings for this identity. Depending upon the
balance of Karma, not only in the chart, but from the recent past
lives, one will transcend the flow of sexual energy to esoteric
growth (Kundalini type) or a simple over-indulgence on the
physical plane. Some form of inheritance will be bestowed upon
this individual, either materialistic or non-materialistic.
40 ASPECT: Marriage or partnership activities are the
proving grounds in this individual's des-
tiny game. There is hardly any other learning he has to do in this
lifetime. As a result of this, most of his time and energy are used
in the process of forming and living the partnership(s).
Considering the intensity of this Karmic learning, one or more
marriages are likely for this person. If there are no business
partnerships involved, substantial mount of public-oriented
activities are undertaken to keep the energy flowing. Public
involvement, thus, becomes very essential for this person. It can
be in the form of politics, labor relations or working with
common general masses. During the lifetime a transformation
will be noticed from self-conscious personality to a moderately
unselfish identity. This will be a gradual process and its
intensity is directly related to the Karmic growth in that lifetime.
Often these people might be very objective and blunt in their
opinions or they have to learn to be objective
externalization.
in their

In this case, they often acquire a lot of assistance or resources
from their mother. Help from the father is not very explicit but
hidden support is noticed.

0
ASPECT: This is quite a favorable aspect during the en-
tire lifetime which provides a lending hand by
circumstances whenever needed. Strong support from family is
noticed and good luck is the family inheritance that descends
from a line of generations. This aspect often signifies that the
individual has been spiritually growing consistently in the
recent past lives and this life becomes a past vacation for him.
This Karmic transfer does help them a great deal as they have
fewer struggles in life. Things have a tendency to happen easily
and without putting forth too much effort. Even though this is
their vacation, they radiate and display spiritual growth from
early childhood. Their philosophical attitudes and viewpoints are
quite interesting.
Learning from and sharing the knowledge with older folks in the
family is often noticed.
Family cohesion is a part of their Karmic destiny. As a result of
this, they have to keep peace and harmony in the family at all
costs. In an adverse situation, this aspect can bring about
completely shattered home conditions, even orphanhood or
detached parents. Under these instances, the duties of this
individual, or his priorities, center around fulfilling the lost
wishes. Strong success in properties and real estate related
areas is noticed.

0
ASPECT: Strong intellectual growth is needed and it will
be achieved in this life. As an intellectual per-
son, mental faculties playa significant role in the life of this
person. Every action has to be approved on a mental level as the
strategy is considered far superior than its execution by these
people. On an adverse level, this aspect can show complete lack
of mental control or an ability to project on a mental level.
Learning and communication is also a significant factor for
these people. Most of the time these people will be highly
influential communicators, but in certain cases, refusal or
inability to communicate is noticed to the bitter end. Either way,
learning through direct or indirect communicativeness is a part
of their Karmic growth plan. Brother/sister type of relationships
are highly evolved in nature and these people heavily rely on
them for group support. Travel or short trips are very significant
24
for them as they lack change of surroundings very much. Often
many hidden difficulties bother these people and almost until the
end, they may not know what the difficulties are. This mental or
psychological ghost comes with their unresolved, unfinished
universal search from the previous life.

0
ASPECT: This is quite an unusual aspect as the destiny
plays games with them. The Karmic purpose
for these individuals is so widely distributed that they each have
substantial variation or choices in a manner of spiritual growth.
Considerable detours and 'coffee breaks' in the life pattern are
possible in this aspect. Marriage or partnership and public-
oriented activities play a significant role in their Karmic
learning. Quite often these learnings are in an indirect way so
the individual does not have to go through the actual experience
but rather 'audit the course' in life. This kind of favoritism gives
them the ability to learn from a remote distance. Major
disadvantages of this aspect are that the individual is dying for
actual excitement and involvement but somehow they may not
be given that precise role. This has its good and bad sides
depending upon the individual case and their prior balance of
Karma. Thus, sometimes you are saved from not being the
actual front-runner, and in other cases, you may not get the
credit for your efforts. Major learning seems to come from
manipulation to and from marriage/partnership or public-
oriented activities.
90
0
ASPECT: This is quite a frustrating or stressful aspect.
However, it does provide a lot of fighting spirit
to these people to overcome many obstacles. It seems like these
people have to learn their Karmic lessons substantially in detail.
These minute lessons or learning the 'nitty-gritty' things come
from various areas of life. This aspect has the most Karmic
learning process in one lifetime. Thus, these individuals fulfill
substantial balance of Karma in this life alone. Strangely, it may
not seem so because they are learning from so many directions
and without concentrating on any particular area of life. Thus,
as they go through higher reincarnations, they have good and
stiff stamina to cope with added life proess. This sounds like
basic Karmic training. Affairs of money and possession are very
significant, consciously or unconsciously. Circumstances
behave strangely with them in this aspect. When they plan to go
after resources and money matters, circumstances force them
25
to become anti-materialistic. On the other hand, if they decide
to withdraw from the material luxury, they get circumstantially
tangled with other's resources and their management.
Somehow, whatever their choice is, circumstances force them
to change their strategy continuously. This goes on until the
balance is fUlly understood.

NODES THROUGH THE SIGNS
NORTH NODE IN ARIES:
Previous incarnation for this person was very easy going and in
considerable luxurious surroundings. Good things in life were
the main pursuits for this soul. Learning on a mental level was
very important for him. In this lifetime, he has to work with
actions and aggression. Things are not always balanced for him
now. As a result of this, he has to utilize all the means he can
within his energies to carry through his wishes. Impatience and
lack of tolerance can cause frustrations for him in this life. His
job is tough as he has to keep his feet on the ground and at the
same time watch for what goes on well above him. Failure to
keep both ends tied up may cause loss of many successful
opportunities in this lifetime.
NORTH NODE IN TAURUS:
Previous incarnation for this person was spent in many hidden
or underground activities. Being a rebel against the normal life
structure punished him to go through various stages before this
present condition occurs. Distorted sexual abuse or misuse of
power was noticed in the previous life-style. All this might or
might not have been his own problem, but the company he kept
in those years. In this lifetime, he just wants to take things very
easily and enjoy life without creating many complications. His
struggle to at least maintain his Karmic status and not go down
anymore is amazing to watch. He will try all his best to live nicely
and comfortable and anybody that would oppose his ideals will
be dealt with quite vigorously but slightly underhandedly.
NORTH NODE IN GEMINI:
Previous incarnation for this person was spent in various
philosophical and mystical pursuits. A lot of freedom and
independence was noticed in that life. Thus, this person has to
learn to deal with people in this life. Isolation becomes a rare
quality in life as he has to exchange his idealogy with others and
on a face-to-face basis. If he tries to isolate and withdraw from
society, the circumstances force him to be with others.
Considerable intellectual dissipation of knowledge is seen in
this life and communicative means are extremely significant for
him. he seldom has a chance or opportunity to cultivate his
27
I!
emotional and material base. Thus, those elements are very
significant in this life structure.
NORTH NODE IN CANCER:
Previous incarnation for this person was spent in many difficult
and confining situations. Life at that point really did not have
sufficient domestication, or he lacked stability at home. In this
lifetime, his ideals and energies converge to establish a solid
home base. Enjoyment from being the key family person is
significant for him in this life. The ability to deal with sensitivity
and emotionalism is noticed. He has a lot of imagination that is
properly used towards creativity. In his previous life, he did
neglect responsibility of older folks. Now he is extra cautious in
this life not to do the same. Thus, family cohesion is important
for him. He may show a colder exterior, but you can get to him
through proper emotionalism.
NORTH NODE IN LEO:
Previous incarnation for this person was spent in many unusual
activities. He seldom had time to be individualistic. Most of the
efforts were towards achieving things for others. In this lifetime,
he has decided to be substantially individualistic. Making his
own name or getting the credit for his work is significant in this
lifetime. Cultivation of personality, ego and general magnetism
is noticed in this person. He will use his powers and
connections to get where he wants to go in life. He may have to
step on others, but he will look at that as a favor to them and later
on when he is up there, he will help those who indirectly were
helpful to him. Strong self-conditioning and self-confidence is
noticed in him in this life.
NORTH NODE IN VIRGO:
Previous incarnation for this person was quite a mediocre life.
He did not have many opportunities because he could not
properly identify them and use them. All he had was a great
sense of instincts in that life. In this lifetime, he may not
explicitly believe in inner instincts as his logic and synthesis are
well developed. He would want to achieve things entirely by
their use. However, as a fail safe mechanism, he has been given
the gift of 'insight' to things which he can use when in great
need. Discrimination is one of his major enemies and he often
makes decisions based upon pre-discrimination. He has been
28
given many opportunities in life but at the same time, he has to
achieve them very methodically. Thus, he cannot just skip and
go on to the next game in life.
NORTH NODE IN LIBRA:
Previous incarnation for this person was spent with a lot of
physical actions, temper and aggression. He had, in that life,
achieved and lost many things as he could not learn to
understand the significance of balance. In this life time he will
definitely learn and be able to use the concept of balance as
applied to 'soul growth.' Everything he undertakes in this life
will have a definite sense of justice, priority and deeper
significance. His diplomatic talents are well worth noting in this
life. He will achieve things without fighting for them and often
others will surrender to him just by his senses and magnetism.
Utilization of mental energies is strongly noticed in this person
in this life. Although he may not be after material success, he
always manages to be in plentiful in that respect.
NORTH NODE IN SCORPIO:
Previous incarnation for this person was spent in considerable
luxuries and a routine life. He really resisted any change that
would come by his way or alter his life style in that life. During
this life, he will be modifying his value systems continuously and
constantly. A total destructive tendency in those respects will
be fully justifiable as far as he is concerned. Thus, he will go
from one extreme stage of living to another during the same life.
His hidden motive and energies are strong and he will use them
whenever he has to. As long as nobody obstructs his way, he is
very quiet, polite and well-mannered. His instincts are strong,
but they have a 'get-even' type of attitude. He may forget, but
never forgive, what others do to him.
NORTH NODE IN SAGITTARIUS:
Previous incarnation for this person was spent in many
intellectual and communicative activities. He had to deal with
'others' constantly. Thus, he was often drained of his
intellectual resources by others. He had to fulfill what they
expected of him. In this lifetime, he is choosing a path of
independence and isolation. He likes to be a free-floating soul
without getting involved with many earthly interactions. He can
solve their problems when he feels like it. but at the same time. he
has a choice and the ability to turn them away from him. In this
29
lifetime, he will achieve substantial esoteric knowledge or
understanding with or without being too involved in the occult.
He is not very much interested in the material things as well as in
the human emotionalism. When his feelings are seen, he just
transcends them or throws them at others the way they come.
NORTH NODE IN CAPRICORN:
Previous incarnation for this person was spent in various
domesticated activities. Home and the surroundings was the
key focus in his life at that time. Circumstances never gave him a
chance to go out and do things. As a result of that, he is forced to
achieve a lot of things in this life which are not homey or
domesticated. He has to be quite tough in his act in life.
Strategy, discipline, persistence and methodology are strongly
noticed in this character. He is not allowed to show his sensitive
side very often and thus, others are not very fond of his outer
character. Once you get to know him, he can be a different
person. His life is full of learning experiences and he almost has
to learn from most incidences in his life. Affairs of older folks are
very significant in this lifetime for him....that he cannot get
away from.
NORTH NODE IN AQUARIUS:
Previous incarnation for this person was very individualized and
he had no time for others. Often his status in that life was pretty
high and others had great respect for his powers in the society.
In this lifetime, he has to learn to mix with others at all levels, and
solve their problems, whether he likes it or not. Interests and
abilities regarding the occult and uncommon spectrum of
knowledge is given at his disposal. his innovation and abilities
to tackle situations is quite amazing. He may be considered
quite uncommon by others or his goals are at least far from
normal. Others may like him for his abilities but not necessarily
what he is trying to achieve in life. Unpredictability is always on
his side which he has difficulty dealing with in this lifetime.
NORTH NODE IN PISCES:
Previous incarnation for this person was spent in substantial
discriminating condition. He was very methodical and detail-
oriented to a point of extreme. Instincts would not even get
close to him at that time. In this life, he is full aT instincts and
'feelings'. He wants to get away from materialism and
30
practicality. He is searching the universe through his sensitivity
and if he feels right, he acts accordingly. His decision may not
be logical on the surface, but he does not care in that respect. His
judgements may not have proper reasoning but they do work
right for him. Dealing with people and their emotions is
important for him as he likes the exchange of feelings in that
material world to keep him happy. His use of imagination and
unusual idealogy is really amazing.
31
NODES THROUGH HOUSES
NORTH NODE IN 1ST HOUSE:
This condition often signifies that the personal values are more
important than general public or partnership(s). Individuality
growth is self-propelled and this person mayor may not take
heavy partnership responsibility. In reality, the partnership
activities are often a drag for them in many ways but they have to
learn to cope with that. Strong aggressive tendencies are
displayed and the personality can be action-oriented. Other
people or partnerships become a medium of learning
experiences with or without choice. In their recent past life, they
have been too much marriage-oriented or in deeper public
involvement.
NORTH NODE IN 2ND HOUSE:
This condition often signifies unusual financial activities or
abilities to deal with resources successfully or unsuccessfully in
this life. They have to learn to abide by their resources rather
than others' possessions Tricky affairs with others' resources
in the past life have taught them strong lessons. Thus, in this
life, they try to stay away from credit matters and other's
resources as much as possible. Their partner's money or
possessions become a 'headache' for many of these individuals.
Another significant lesson they have to learn in this life is to
understand and diagnose the occult or hidden influences in
their judgments & actions.
NORTH NODE IN 3RD HOUSE:
This condition often signifies unusual intellectual abilities and
their use in this life. They seem to bring vast knowledge and
philosophies from previous life and utilize them on a practical
level. Their communicative means are fairly strange and odd at
times. Excellent relationships with brothers or sisters are no-
ticed. They have a strange subconscious fear for foreign culture
or foreign people. During this lifetime they may not achieve
fame or recognition but they will have dispersed their
knowledge to many who surround them. Often one notices a
hidden coldness towards their father figure in this life. Benefits
from travel and short moves are often noticed in their life.
32
NORTH NODE IN 4TH HOUSE:
This condition often signifies fairly close relationship with
mother figure. At the most, the relationship with mother IS
closer than with father. For some reason, home or
domestication is highly significant in their life. They mayor
may not like to be family-oriented, but that is the way their
has to be structured. Career is given a second pnonty In their
life. Although they have strong self-displaying ego,
circumstances may not give them the opportunity to be
prominent in their field. The relationship with parents is that of
a deep attachment and they require a lot of effort to be from
their parental wing. Considerable sensitivity is seen In these
people.
NORTH NODE IN 5TH HOUSE:
This condition often signifies close relationship with
They have fairly good success in love/romance, but regarding
friendships they may have many disappointments. Their love
given to others is much more elaborate then what they receive
back. This imbalance in love exchange creates Internal
inferiority complex in them and sometimes frustrations affect
the relationship. Their creative ideas can be out-of-thls world
and at times ahead of time as well. They often find their vlsta-
sphere of life is limited and many of their goals and
remain as a fantasy. Their love affairs often have a prevIous
connection and they can feel that awareness when they are With
others.
NORTH NODE IN 6TH HOUSE:
This condition often signifies work-related areas and
importance in life. For some reason, they are highly inspire? to
do things others may not want to do. For spiritual growth, this I.S
quite a good position of the North Node. Forsome reason: their
interest in life is not tremendous but just a passing stage In the
Karmic line-up. Physical health is maintained considerably well
and they may even get into diet foods, meditation
areas. In their prior life, they came fairly close to achieving
secret of the universal escape, but missed it by a short margin.
This aspect often provides self-confining tendencies to elevate
one's position in the universal race.
33
I !
I, I
I
NORTH NODE IN 7TH HOUSE:
This condition often signifies marriage or partnership activities
are extremely important in his life. Self is often given no priority
but what is best for the marriage is taken into consideration.
Thus, a self-sacrifice for the betterment of the marriage may
turn out to be a devastating situation. This individual will try
everything to maintain that relationship. As an individual, they
may not be able to contribute and achieve much in life, however,
with partnership activities their contribution and output is
substantially increased. They often have a good public image
and their objectivity is fairly well known among others. Theyare
very charming, diplomatic and polite in general expression or
communication.
NORTH NODE IN 8TH HOUSE:
This condition often signifies that the person has to deal with
resources and possessions in various ways in life. Often their
combined resources are plentiful and handy, but the other
person mayor may not allow them to use it generously. Their
own resources become a doubtful issue in many cases. Strong
interest in the occult or hidden side of life is noticed as a rescue
from the material world. They often have good instincts and
ability to deal with others' subconscious Cash flow situation
will depend upon the planet(s) conjuncting the nodal axis. A
benefic will increase favorable chances whereas a malefic will
cause uneven difficulties. Learning from the idea or reality of
death and regeneration is strongly noticed in this case.
NORTH NODE IN 9TH HOUSE
This condition often signifies that one has to utilize all their
philosophies and higher knowledge to cope with the situations
in life. They have to learn a lot of lessons from their mistakes and
in many cases, they cannot even communicate their problems.
Mental distortion or uncommon thinking is noticed in them
Affairs of brothers or sisters are very destined in their life
whether they want to or not. They will get involved with
publications, publicity or some 'foreign' affairs/activities in their
lifetime due to strange coincidences. They either have relatives
living far away from them or they often maintain a large gap
between the relatives. Long-term relocation is often significant
for them, even though they dislike short travel.
34
NORTH NODE IN 10TH HOUSE:
This condition often signifies stronger success in the
professions or career area. However, some drawbacks are
noticed in the home affairs. Here, the individual converts all the
domestic energies into professional direction. Thus,
satisfactions and fulfillments through the home are fairly low for
him. Their individuality and strong ego are worth noticing.
Often difficulties during childhood bring about a distorted
mother/father complex to this person. They are a lot closer to
their father than to the mother However, some of the hostilities
or lack of mother element is due to recent past life complications
with her. Sensitivity and emotionalism is something they have
to overcome and show an image of tough practicality in this life.
Their first half ot life is not very enjoyable compared to the
second half of life.
NORTH NODE IN 11TH HOUSE:
This condition often signifies that the person has considerable
friendships. Friends are his major assets through which he
achieves a lot of things in life. Problems and difficulties usually
stern out of romances and quite often formation of a successful
relationship is very difficult. Their next difficulty is with regard
to children. Either having a child is a problern or dealing with
children may be one. In their recent past life, their attitudes and
dealinCls with children have been so uncommon that they have
to suffer in this life. Often these people carry out their major
hopes and dreams in life like clockwork and their surrounding
influences help them in all respects to do so. Their love received
by others is much better than they can give back to others This
imbalance in love exchanges cause problems or tensions in
relationships
NORTH NODE IN 12TH HOUSE:
This condition often signifies that one has a lot to learn in this
lifetime with or without individual choice. The work area is often
a confining issue for them. However, it is a part of their life style
that they cannot get rid of. Working with institutions or dealing
with behind-the-scenes activities is quite significant for them in
this lifetime. They use considerable amount of psychic
sensitivity in their routine life style. In their work, they are quite
methodical, practical, punctual and steady. The digestive
system or problems with circulation needs attention in this case.
Physical health in general, may not be necessarily weak. Their
35
, I
i
day dreami.ng on the job or uncommon work hours is significant
and sometimes they even get to like that schedule. Affairs of
Karma or life as a continuous process are significant for them
and their interest in reincarnation is amazingly worth noting.
36
ASPECTS TO THE NODES IN THE NATAL CHART
Sun Conjunct This aspect indicates lack of physical vi-
South Node tality and general suppression of ego. It
is more of a counter-balance from the previous life which tells
the person to slow down regarding the ego-ambition-recogni-
tion, etc. in this life. If this is not done consciously, then it will be
forcefully achieved by proper circumstances. Conversion of
normal energies of 'individuality' into evolution of that soul will
be noticed in this aspect in that particular life. This often
indicates some Karmic connections with the 'father-figure' that
needs to be balanced in this life. Often a conflict from a previous
life with the father has brought about this condition and
circumstance.
Moon Conjunct This aspect indicates sudden emotional
South Node difficulties or "emotionally low" profile in
the life of this individual. Possible difficulties relating to
'women' or 'mother-figure' are consistent and constant for this
individual. They often display seriousness without actual
depression. Learning to overcome and build a stronger
emotionalism is achieved in that life. Circulatory problems or
difficulties with digestive system are quite common for these
individuals. These people have a subconscious fear about
general public and often they may even have difficulty coping
with large crowds.
Mercury Conjunct This aspect can produce possible learn-
South Node ing difficulties, mental blocks, uncom-
municativeness or improper communication. Nervous system,
in general, gets affected due to this aspect. Reflex actions are
often delayed or distorted. This aspect brings about
tremendous inner growth regarding knowledge and wisdom, as
the internalization or osmosis is very keen in these individuals.
Their body and soul works as a one-way membrane absorbing
information from the surrounding sources to be condensed in
the package for future use. As a result of this hoarding of
knowledge and information by the innter core, they may not
necessarily display brilliance, intellectuality and
communicativeness.

Venus Conjunct This aspect gives the individual a diffi-
South Node . cult time understanding and diagnosing
love emotions and feelings. They face several hidden problems
regarding 10v?/romance and with people of the opposite sex.
Here the basIc need for that soul is to convert the physical
sexual energy Into high consciousness. This is not an easy
process by all means. Not many of these individuals can
manage the processing or conversion. This makes the aspect a
t.ough one to live through in that lifetime. During the recent
lives, the person h.asoverindulged in too many good things. As
a result, here In this life, a coffee-break for that soul is provided. If
they do not learn to accept this, the changes are circumstantially
forced upon them eventually.
Mars Conjunct In this aspect, the physical energy is
. South Node highly channelled inward to heal the
Internal. structure Naturally, the outward energy applications
look qUite weak. In a woman's chart, this often denies sexual
satisfaction or the other extreme, depend i ng upon the rest of the
chart. Here, the soul learns sUbconsciously to curb its martial
authoritative nature.. In a previous life spectrum, the indulgence
and of power, sex, and energies have brought
condition In this life. Circulatory problems or blood
difficulties can be a normal deficiency for these people. General
temperament of these people is very difficult to grasp. When
want to be angry or temperamental, a sudden c'urb on energy
!S by and they often fail to show the
reactions appropnately.
Jupiter Conjunct This aspect often forces the people to
South Node swallow their own philosophies This
makes It easy for them to abide by any of their own
philosophies. There is nothing wrong with coping with your
own provided you know beforehand that they may
be lIsed against you: As a normal human being, one always
to have general philosophy for others with reservations for
h!ms?lf.. !his. aspect does not give that individual any
discriminating nghts or choices in that respect. Their own
envlronm.ent and often expands within, giving the
person Internal satisfaction. This expansion of inner
dimensions is noticeable by others. As a result, others feel
sorry for th?se individuals. In terms of esoteric or spiritual
gr?wth, thiS IS considerably strong as a conjunction. When one
brings down the universal consciousness to cure and heal the
38
internal structure of that soul, the results are always helpful to
that individual in most of the worldly sense. These people often
learn to overcome the materialistic barrier either by choice or by
heavenly force. On a mundane level, it creates problems with a
child, or its conception. Based upon the rest of the chart,
happiness from children might be a void issue to these people.
Glandular function in the body is also distorted by this aspect.
Saturn Conjunct In this aspect, the individual confines it-
South Node self with its own psychologically com-
plex network. They just have to go through worldly and
unworldly experiences and learn the significance of patience.
Things have a tendency to occur as late as possible. Association
with old folks or old ideas becomes a part of life. The native
often runs away from his own creation and this running
around in circles is one of the Karmic fulfillments of that
soul. Depending upon the balance of Karma from the previous
life, some of these individuals will experience the highest
benefits in life, but only after significant hard work during the
most of their life. The Saturnian principle with the South Node
with it really makes the combination doubly Saturnian. Thus,
hard work, patience and coping with restrictions is a major
focus in this combination. On a mundane level, it causes weak
bone structure, rheumatism, skin difficulties, etc. One of the
benefits this aspect provides is the ability to cope with disease and
confinement.
Uranus Conjunct This conjunction brings about a sudden
South Node generation who will utilize unusual
means to overcome Karmic lessons and liabilities. They will
utilize unusual and innovative actions as an internalization
process rather than an external solution. Their methods will be
strange as far as others are concerned, but their goals and
results will be just about the same as the neighboring
generation. Here the means will be Uranian but the
transcending process for that soul will be Karmic. Their
electronervous system and body shock absorption are fairly
uncommon.
Neptune Conjunct This aspect will give the individual the
South Node ability to inhale spiritual and idealistic
goals to organize and restructure the individuality. Thus, these
people will use spiritual values and ideal goals as a selling point
for the betterment of the Karmic growth. This is an
39
I
III
I
II
individualized method requiring singular elevation of a soul but
performed on a group basis. Thus, one finds a singular personal
elevation in his spiritual values, then letting others form
individually, and then forming a group of elevated souls.
On a mundane level, it can cause difficulties and frustrations
from spiritual or psychic misuse, drug and alcohol abuse,
deceptions, fantasies, and excessive daydreaming.
Pluto Conjunct This aspect brings about a generation
. South Node which is anti-anti-establishment. Keep-
Ing the peace and harmony will be their motto. They will not
hesitate to use destruction for the sake of construction but only
as a last resort. Basically, their ideality is to put a curb on
destruction or regeneration in order to elevate the individual
soul. Some of their significant work consists of redistribution of
Karma by taking the esoteric law in their hands.
Sun Conjunct This aspect provides strong personal
North Node elevation in this life. It usually comes
from lack of recognition and self-respect from the recent past
life. They just have to get out of the Karmic rut and establish
some of their own standards in this life. The destiny often helps
them in most of the ways it can during life. Stronger
independence is taught but there are always supporting walls
around them. This ensures any fail-safe mechanism for them.
Thus, even if they make a mistake, they do not have to pay for it
on a grand scale...not at least in this life. Parental guidance and
excellent discipline from them is often provided as a basic
growth in life. Responsibilities are often given to them just as
they are ready for them. Individual ego has a proper projection
function which uses optimum energy to get recognition in this
life for these people. 'Father-figure' ideal is quite strong for
them in whatever form it may be.
Moon Conjunct This aspect provides great internal emo-
North Node tional satisfaction for these people. If
not, at least they will provide such satisfaction for others.
Basically, this aspect represents better emotional distribution
within or without the individual. Support from mother or
'mother-figure' is of utmost significance for them in this life.
The idea of take something from "mother" and be a "mother-
figure" to someone is highly under focus. These people go
40
through ultra high and low emotional stages in this category. As
a result, it is best not to provoke them emotionally at the wrong
time. Vivid imagination and stronger sensitivity towards some
of the past-life experiences and their illumination is noticed in
this aspect. They may go through typical or unusual emotional
experiences which could be a part of their recent life
externalization with a great similarity to reality.
Mercury Conjunct This aspect represents one who is
North Node bringing down-to-earth vast intellect
from previous life with the understanding and abilities to
distribute them to the surroundings. They often have good
communicative talents and their energies seem to come from
some unknown source. During their past life, learning process
has been to its minimum along with considerable lack of
communication that has instigated the needs and desires in this
life to do what they can and have the philosophy to 'learn and let
us communicate.' Assistance from brothers and sisters is highly
significant in their life and often it is a mutual exchange on a
timely basis. Deeper understanding with them is needed and
will be established as the time goes on, depending upon the rest
of the chart.
Venus Conjunct This aspect provides the person excel-
North Node lent ability to express love emotions and
appropriate charm. The good things in life have a tendency to
come by them quite easily. In social or public activities they do
not suffocate but properly mingle and distribute their
magnetism. In spite of this, they may not necessarily have a
good time from within, but they will show a smile on the face.
What they are doing is a part of their destined duty to keep the
surroundings happy and lively. Awareness of considerable
frustration and deprived sex life from their previous incarnation,
subconsciously forces them to be withdrawn in stages from this
enjoyable game of life. Marriage relationships often are
successful for them, at least from the surface end of it.
Mars Conjunct This aspect provides strong interest in
North Node athletic or physical activities in these
individuals. In this matter, the secret of their success depends
largely upon the instincts rather than just a discipline. These
instincts have long been developed in them from previous life
which increases their ability to react to situations tremendously.
41
In this case, temper and aggressiveness go hand-in-hand to
achieve the objective without wasting any time. If they fail to get
what they want, their temper provides the continuation of
energy to either "get even" or go after something more
comparable.
Their energy applications seem to have a preprogramming that
once the things get going, it is more of a remotely controlled
operation. Physical sex drive is often at its highest and it has
certain past-life connections. Sometimes these connections
are in the form of unfinished manipulation or simple 'get even'
from the previous life. It seem like the Martian energies are
coupled with the previous memories and they have a Scorpion
touch.
In a female chart, it indicates reversal of normal roles from the
past life to this life (man-wife relationship turns into wife-
husband, brother-sister to sister-brother, etc.) Strong
assistance from brothers and sisters is seen in getting ahead in
life or vice versa.
Jupiter Conjunct In this aspect, higher philosophies and
North Node excellent wisdom flow through these
people. Whether they use this philosophy for their own good or
not is of no great significance. Often this acts as a medium or
channel for the higher consciousness to descend upon the
earthly matters. This aspect does provide good material
possessions or often financial self-sufficiency. In general, the
fate makes it very easy for these people to do whatever they are
doing in this life...without too much side-tracking and anxiety
for other things. Very quiet and optimistic nature is bestowed
upon them which is one of their strong points. Substantial good
deeds in the recent past life have brought about this stage in this
reincarnation. On a mundane level, they have difficult time
controlling their weight as this is quite an expansive
conjunction.
Saturn Conjunct This aspect provides great relief or
North Node dampening to your general frustrations
and bad experiences. All their learning experiences and
limitations are properly analyzed and utilized in order not to
make the same mistake again. Great assistance from older folks
in the f a ~ i l y is received, on which the person can greatly rely.
Often thiS aspect may deny good physical health. However, it
42
will provide them with quite a strong will power. I ~ terms of
Karmic understanding, this soul does wonders In helping others
know, diagnose and understand the value of learning from past
mistakes. This aspect may provide a long life span or at least,
longer than average life, unless other things in the chart highly
contradict this Patience is quite a virtue for these Individuals; If
not, they will appreciate its value.
Uranus Conjunct This aspect provides the individual the
North Node ability to utilize unconventional and
innovative means to achieve and demonstrate various sides of
life. Substantial new techniques or brilliancy is used by this soul
in various areas of life, which sheds great illumination on
mankind or just on a small group. Considerable utilization of
built-up nervous energy is often well-channelled by these
individuals, depending upon the house location of thiS
conjunction.
Neptune Conjunct In ttlis aspect, the deeper significance of
North Node 'psyche' or the occult is transmuted.
extracted and applied to convey the messages tothe gene.ral
consciousness. The idea is to distribute the Neptunian energies,
either good or bad, to the surroundings and assoc.iates. :his
often leads to the highest or the lowest form of Karmic function.
Bridging the gap between the higher consciousness an? the
'commoner' through the Neptunian process IS basically
achieved by these individuals.
Pluto Conjunct In this aspect, large scale changes are
North Node utilized or the person chooses to utilize
destructive means to convey his message. The idea is to
transform and revive the society or surroundings utilizing the
past-I ife energies or counter-acting the previous Iife's functions
This is often done as a total destruction and then rebuilding the
dream all over again. Basically, it is a Karmic lesson, reward or
punishment, utilizing the Plutonian means. Depending upon
the house location of th is conj unction, you can get more details
of the focused area in life.
Sun Square This is a balancing aspect in terms of
North Node Karmic inflow-outflow. Under this con-
dition, one has to do just the right amount of growing in this
43
Venus Square In this aspect considerable stress and
North Node obstacles in love/romance are seen.
These are needed in order to maintain and achieve the
consistent growth of that soul regarding the Venusian direction.
This transitional stage in life just checks you out as to whether
you are ready for further enjoyment of life or n.ot. This bala.ncing
of soul is achieved by giving you just the right proportion of
support and hindrance in your Venusian activities. Thus, if you
begin to enjoy the affair considerably, then sudden obstacles
are noticed. On the other hand, if there are severe problems,
then the circumstances will try to bail you out. Marriage and
love affairs are always kept warm provided you are not
overindulging in happiness from them.
Mars Square Energy balance is achieved, or forced
North Node into being achieved, in this configura-
tion. Often one finds that they have no energy when they have a
lot to do and vice versa. In a woman's chart, it often signifies
hidden difficulties with men or even difficulties reaching sexual
satisfaction. Lack of good health is more common in this aspect
than squares by nodes to any other planets. Dealings with
brothers, or being big brother to someone, is highly necessary
as a part of this aspect. The energy applications of this person
are often curtailed or obstructed by the circumstances. As a
result of this, their goals get distorted or the efforts do not
necessarily go along with their desires. Common
consequences are accident-prone nature or misdirected
energies.
Jupiter Square Hindrance in good luck or opportunities
North Node is often seen in this aspect. For these
people, learnings from children is quite common and
prominent. Their personal philosophies often get crossed by
others. As a result of this, considerable modification of their
philosophies have to be done or seen in this lifetime.
Unexpected problmes caused by children are coupled with
financial tensions in this configuration These difficulties and
the necessity to overcome these problems are the major
challenges and learning experiences in life. Thus, this aspect
will not deny children, but at the same time, coping with children
will be a tough issue. Similarly, financial and philosophical
matters will have to undergo a drastic change in life.
lifetime. The imbalance, in whichever direction it may be, often
kicks you around so that you do just what is needed. As a result
of this, general frustration, delays and anxiety in one's ego-
achievement are seen. You have to learn to bow to the
circumstances and take your number in a long waiting line. It
does provide good amount of fighting spirit and endurance. In
this aspect, possible birth in a poor or restrictive family is quite
likely Hidden tensions with 'father-figure' or male identity in
life are very significant. In life, this person goes through various
circumstantial suffocation, which makes him quite self-
examining or introverted at times as he grows older.
Moon Square This aspect produces a peculiar emo-
North Node tional imbalance in that individual. At
one point, they need to express emotionally, but all of a sudden,
they have strong circumstantial restrictions in doing so. Thus,
the soul gets confused as to the signals from the higher
consciousness projected through the deeper subconscious that
are very unclear. As a result of this, one just has to learn to keep
their emotional flow instantaneously ready for any action. In
their life, certain difficulties from mother and/or from 'women'
are very significant but unavoidable. These people also have
negative feelings regarding working forthegeneral public. This
feeling is not out of any valid difficulties, but arises from some
severe experiences from past incarnations. Their domestic
activities are quite fragmented or full of outside interference.
Mercury Square In this aspect, general intellect and
North Node communicativeness is often controlled
by a remote switch. They need to communicate in order to feel
good, but they are frequently unable to do so for no specific
reason. Hidden tensions with brothers/sisters are often seen.
These tensions create a psychological problem since early
childhood. Their mental brightness is very fluctuating.
Depending upon the position of Mercury in the house and the
sign, one may be brilliant or dumb. Intellectual balance will be
achieved in this life by way of controlling the learning intensity.
Thus, If the soul has come from a stronger intellectuality from
the previous life, this life will slow him down to the normal pace
and he will be able to go at a common rate of intellectual growth.
On the other hand, if the previous life has been an intellectual
chaos, then this will provide substantial self-confidence in the
learning and communicative processes and their internalization
to that soul.
44
Saturn Square
North Node
This is quite a strange aspect to such an
extent that limitations in life are doubly
45
significant. Here, the Saturnian limitations will confront you
with a problem or learning experiences, but the nodes will even
take the chances away from you to learn from them. Depending
upon the benefic aspects to this combination, the effects will
change accordingly. For example, a supporting Trine aspect to
Saturn might minimize the intensity of drastic learning or a Trine
to the nodes might increase your chances to learn the lesson in a
constructive way, etc. In general, growth as an individual is
needed and noticed in this aspect. Full assistance or complete
obstructive tendencies from older folks is seen. Problems with
circulations and bone structure in general are noticed in these
people
Uranus Square In this aspect, innovation meets the hid-
North Node den enemy or the unconventionality
becomes a problem issue in life. Strange ways and means are
utilized to achieve things in life. Improper functioning of
electro-nervous system is seen in this aspect These people can
be too much intellectually oriented or with some brain
distortion. This person spends considerable time trying to
knock down his own creation or ideas.
Neptune Square In this aspect psychic sensitivity or
North Node receptivity is often blocked by circum-
stances. Thus, one gets fairly close to an intuitive answer, and
then all of a sudden, everything is washed out and they start all
over again Hidden problems with drugs. medicine or alcohol
are noticed in these people. Some of these problems are often
carried through the family tradition, or through past
incarnation. This family history of similar difficulties is one of
their challenges in life and the circumstances will help them to
even up only after they show the initiative to overcome them
Major changes in life from being too idealistic or too practical
are often noticed in these people.
Pluto Square In this aspect, strong destructive and
North Node disruptive tendencies quiet down as the
indiVidual grows older. A lot of unused energy or stored energy
causes intermittent explosions within the framework of that
individual. This is in the form of wild ideas or strong initiative
plans This energy forces the person to do something no matter
what the consequences can be
In this aspect, the life is full of action and suppression of action
46
without any significant events. Deep inside, the motives are very
much bubbling, but they have no real outlets. Thus, the
large-scale ideas get crushed in, bUilding up a considerable
inferiority complex or a complex of inaction In that individual. If
preplanned, and properly executed, ideas of these people have
a substantially great influence over mankind

TRINES AND SEXTILE ASPECTS
OF
THE NODES TO THE PLANETS
When a planet makes a Trine or a Sextile aspect to one of the
nodes, it makes the complementary aspect to the other node.
Thus, these are the most beneficial aspects to the nodes. Here
the constructive influence is properly channelled and used
without the bitter nodal taste. The aspects of Trine to the North
Node are more significant and favorable in such a manner that
they make living on earth much more easy than other aspects.
Similarly, Sextile to the North Node is constructive but not as
favorable as the Trine aspect. The difference is that the Trine to
the South Node gives you a great potential from the past life
energies, whereas the Trine to the North Node will help you
constructively utilize the past-life energies into the everyday
earthly living in a far more beneficial way. Please keep in mind
the distinction is not very serious but given a chance, it is better
that you have Trine aspects to the North Nodes rather than the
South Nodes. We will only study one aspect. .. the other one is
quite similar but on a lower grade.
Sun Trine This aspect provides good popularity,
North Node personal elevation and execution of
proper ego for that individual. Circumstantial assistance in
getting recognized in the world is noticed. Strong foundation
and establishment of identity is done by the help of the 'father-
figure' in life. Success in the public life or even in politics is
seen. During your recent life, you have been well recognized for
your assistance to others. As a result, in this life repayment is
done to you to get somewhere, no matter where you start in life.
Optimistic attitudes and open goals are quite common forthem.
Moon Trine This aspect provides high emotional
North Node satisfaction level with considerable
depth of imagination. Assistance from 'women' or the 'mother-
figure' is noticed in their life. Emotional strength is really great
in these people, which they can count upon for a lot of
achievement. During their past life, their duty as a 'mother' has
been well recognized so that they get to use past credit in this
life. Cultivation of imagination and domestic talents are very
significant in their life and they occur very easily without too
much effort.
48
Mercury Trine This is an intellectually stimulating as-
North Node pect. Here the person has added depth
to their knowledge and communication. They seem to have a
good memory and recall ability not only from the recent past
but also from the past life(s). Much of their brain power is
inherited rather than from learning and cultivation. Their
communication and externalization has a magnetic force
associated with that which others cannot help but notice.
Proper function of the nervous system is noticed in these people
with appropriate reflex actions but sometimes slightly ahead of
time.
Venus Trine This aspect provides the individual with
North Node hidden creative talents during the life-
time. They can expect better luck in love/romance or
regarding money matters. This is due to the several good deeds
performed in the previous life(s). These people seem to have a
charm and magnetism associated with their normal behavior.
They Iike to indulge in good things in Iife and this is their 'coffee-
break' during lives... which they have rightfully earned. Lessons
regarding Venusian activities are strange in this aspect. A.s a
result, more than one marriage is likely, but not because the first
one has any major problems. In reality, if the first marriage has
difficulties, circumstances take upon themselves the challenge
to overcome these difficulties and let that individual go through
that marriage throughout his life.
Mars Trine This aspect provides added physical
North Node strength or reserve energies to that indi-
vidual. They can always recall these energies when needed to
get the work done. This is not an initiative-creating situation,
but an energy strengthening condition. For women, this aspect
often signifies better success in marriage and love relationships.
Due to strange Karmic learning tactics, this aspect provides
more than one happy marriage for women, just to reward them
and strengthen their faith in that soul. This condition has been
brought about by past life compensation and total
circumstantial withdrawal from 'fun and games'. Assistance
from brothers or to them is very prominent in this person's life.
Jupiter Trine Financial good luck and material suc-
North Node cess without sacrificing any Karmic
debt is seen in this aspect. These people have happy-go-lucky
attitudes and philosophies. As a result, they minimize internal
49
friction or strain on their soul work. In this aspect. proper use of
knowledge and wisdom is shown by the individual. Their
philanthropic attitude does help them bring their status to the
desired level in terms of spirituality and worldliness. This aspect
does make the person take life very easily and as a result, if the
chart has some stressful squares, these people have difficulty
handling the tensions in life. Often birth into an above-average
family is noticed or at least achievement of status during their
life can be seen.
Saturn Trine This aspect provides excellent working
North Node habits to these individuals. They have
great stamina and endurance to do things. Getting substantial
assistance from, or providing large helping hand to, older
people is a part of their life-style. Stronger family ties are
established from this aspect. As a result, they may have large
family cohesion or a family environment that includes a lot of
relatives and sometimes even distant relatives. They have
excellent cooperative spirit, which is definitely not learned by
childhood discipline but by some of their past-life habits. In this
aspect. the harder the person works, the better will be his
rewards. Surprisingly, he gets to collect those rewards in this
lifetime. Emotional and spiritual maturity is seen even in early
childhood.
Uranus Trine Brilliant ideas and innovative things are
North Node often associated with this aspect. One
good thing about these people is they know how to, and when
to, use their unusual Uranian energies. They always come up
with uncommon approach and new methodology in doing
things. Depending upon the aspect. the success from this
should be judged. Using the mind and mentality in exact
proportions and their distribution and propagation to achieve
the goals is noticed in these individuals. Their reactions and
responses to the surroundings and circumstances are very cool,
methodical but unusually logical.
Neptune Trine This aspect provides strong sense of
North Node spirituality or even mediumistic attitude
to the individual. This person will transcend and distribute
esoteric philosophy and ideas in terms of practicality. Bringing
the unrealistic or fantasy to proper reality is a main function of
this aspect in that individual's life. This type of individual is often
spiritually well grown, but comes to life just to check out a few
50
things and help others to grow spiritually The negative or
destructive side of this aspect is quite mild as the circumstances
will create a lot of obstacles in their wrong path.
Pluto Trine Strong authority of power is associated
North Node with this individual or at least bestowed
upon him in this aspect. They often have excellent connections
to get things done, and others are aware of their favors. Barter
or exchange on a larger scale always happens throughout their
life as a result of this combination. They often become an
instigator in projects to be done or fulfilled. Balancing of
temperaments and aggression is needed by these people. Their
temper, when not in control, is quite destructive, not only to
them, but to their surroundings as well.
51
P Sun Oppo. This is quite often a depressed state
North Node where the individuality and. identity go
through a thorough Karmic testing. A lot of complex
associated with hidden difficulties really beginS bother

some deep-down inferiority at thi.s point. Rejections
from females or 'women' in generalis prominent In thls.aspect.
Certain strong sickness or even deaths in the near family often
occur at this time due to this aspect.
P Moon Square In this time slot, sudden block.ages.and
North Node and obstacles in one's emotionalism,
sensitivity and imagination are noticed. It looks like one has to
go across the normal stream and considerable effort IS needed
to overcome the barrier. This aspect, however,
success after work has been put in to overcome the situation.
P Moon Trine This is a fairly good aspect cir-
North Node cumstantial assistance emo-
tional comforts and security. Ease of expression or
smooth externalization is noticed. A general IS
associated with this aspect which acts very constructively
towards fulfilling good things in life.
P Sun Conjunct In this case, the individuality goes
North Node through a tunnel of darkness and .the
normal ego/identity goes throu9h. a personality.
Often this aspect purifies the individuality the aspect
is over, it brings about sudden, but steady, uplift In life. There IS
a likelihood of serious sickness or death In the ThiS
period can often be a trying to the significant. m.ale

is often too strong for the individual to cope with. If they can
take that pressure, then they come out shining like gold after the
aspect is over.

NODES AND PLANETS IN PROGRESSED ASPECTS
Aspects of Progressed Planets to the nodes are quite interesting
in a sense that they do bring you back to the Karmic or destined
path. Free will almost does not exist in terms of these aspects.
Thus, whatever is meant to be will occur under these conditions
no matter what kind of detour you intend to take before the
aspect manifests. Since nodes progress, or travel backwards,
compared to the normal planetary direction, the events often
occur before true awareness of them has been created. Thus,
what is not known does not provide freewill anyway. This is
quite obvious since you cannot counteract or deviate from the
actual strategy if you do not know what the strategy is to start
with. In here comes the true 'occult' influence of nodes in one's
understanding of astrology. Freewill seems to exist, or its
presence is felt, only if the planet making the progressed aspect
to the nodes is retrograde. I n that case, awareness may come
before the actual event Occurs, giving the individual an element
of chance by at least knOWing what to avoid, if it can be avoided.
In this case, a certain priority exists to identify and isolate
probable free will. Even if you have choice of free will in these
instances, chances are you will not want to exert that option
anyway. .maybe this happens subconsciously. We will only
consider Conjunctions, Oppositions, and Square aspects.
P Moon Conjunct Here substantial emotional depression
North Node or low period emotional level is noticed.
This is often caused by the choice of that individual. They just
want to get in a shell at this time and stay there for a while.
Circumstances may be highly favorable or against them, but
they just do not want to exert much effort. If they do exert strong
effort, then the results are not very rewarding also at that point.
Influence of older women is prominent in life at this time. This
influence could be simple supportive function or the most
domineering actions as well. A general withdrawal from public-
oriented activities is noticed here.
P Moon Oppo. In this case, the depression or isolation
North Node is more due to circumstances. The indi-
vidual does not know where all the obstructions and negativity is
coming from. All he knows is that he is banging against a force
field without much success. Lack of temporary success causes

P Sun Square
North Node
In this aspect, circumstantial
come in so strongly that the indiVidual
53
just has to take a great pause and wait for the opportunities to
show the way. Obstructions or difficulties caused by father or
'male' figures are very prominent at this time in life. Physical
vitality is weak at this point which, along with circumstantial
tensions, causes ill health or physical problems. Basically, this
is a trying period and a lot of decision-making is done in the life
of that individual. Many of the decisions are made by the
circumstances but the individual is asked to participate in the
phoney decision-making process.
P Sun Trine In this aspect, circumstantial assistance
North Node and good luck is always behind that
individual. Things often work out easily for them and the native
just has to steer in the right direction. The forces surrounding
the individual are all cohesive and very helpful to the direction
the soul wants to go...in the short, as well as the long, run.
Hidden creative dimension or talents bring about recognition of
some depth to this individual at this time. Affairs of children are
quite blissful and beneficial here.
P Mercury Conjunct As a result of this aspect, great need to
North Node learn and communicate occurs at this
time. Under these conditions, probable changes in the business
or profession are quite likely. Affairs of the houses ruled by
Gemini and Virgo are quite significant. Destined activities and
events regarding those houses will be noticed but with more of a
constructive and positive touch to it. At this time, Karmic energy
to distribute Mercurial potential is at its highest, giving the
individual all the support in that area.
P Mercury Oppo. Due to this aspect, a lack of communica-
North Node tion, mental confusion and intellectual
suffocation occur at this time in that individual's life. At this
time, the person goes through a real introversion and the
communication black-outs are very prominent and significant.
Mental illness should be watched and psychological help
sought if the natal chart has some Mercurial complexities. At
this point, nervous energy needs proper channelling in order to
maintain and continue normal brain function. Activities of the
houses ruled by Gemini and Virgo will undergo a Karmic
squeeze or transformation.
P Mercury Square Here the Square aspect is not as bad as
North Node the Opposition. However, the difficul-
54
ties are there on a less potent level. At this point, one has to go
very slowly and carefully regarding his logical think.ing .and. what
he communicates. Due to this aspect, comprehension IS sl.lghtly
delayed and responses are often a little Basically,
what one wants to communicate, and what circumstances
them to communicate, fights a battle and the outcome IS
externalized or understood. The activities of the houses ruled
by Gemini and Virgo will meet some. circumstantial challenges
and obstacles at this time due to this aspect.
P Mercury Trine In this aspect, internal satisfaction i.s
North Node usually derived out of other's communi-
cation. At this point, one just learns so many things tha.t
brains get all filled up. Uncommon ideas, plans
patterns merge out of this aspect which
standard as far as the intellectual and communicative IS
concerned. During the childhood or teenage growth period,
this aspect provides good scholastic .. In a
person's life, this signifies logic and good
Tactfulness and happy communications and display of
knowledge are significant at this time.
P Venus Conjunct In this aspect, Karmic assistance or
North Node potential support is received from
behind-the-scenes in order not to get hurt seriously regarding
the Venusian activities. Often a period like this is associated
with internal frustrations in love/romance which brings about
the unnecessary elements dominating the relationship.
the relationship which cannot withstand the pressures Will
disintegrate here. This weeding out process always works for
the best in the long run. The love/emotion machine very
inefficiently at this ti me and there are considerable de!ays In the
reaction time in the actual exchange of feell.ngs .and
understandings. Frozen assets or financial squeeze !S noticed
due to this aspect in orderto maintain and balan?e their budg.ets
properly. Basically, an equilibrium will be established regardmg
the Venusian activities.
P Venus Oppo. In this aspect, the difficulties in love/
North Node romance are quite serious and more
destructive in nature. What you want and what you are
different things in that respect. Other In
your affairs or there are circumstantial
wh ich provoke the matters to worse stages. Sudden depletion
55
of financial assets or money matters is noticed at these times. At
this point, one's idea of love gets crushed in, no matter whose
fault it is. In an aspect like this, it is best to tag along singularly.
No long-term goals regarding the 'affair' should be planned
when this aspect is visible in the near future.
P Venus Square In an aspect like this, unexpected cir-
North Node cumstanstial difficulties destroy the
castles that have been built in the recent past. This aspect
usually is associated with external confrontation caused by
many reasons. These misunderstandings pile up creating wide
gaps in the relationships around. Financially, this is also an
acute aspect in the sense that one has to spend unnecessary
resources. Over-indulgence sounds great but an anxiety
follows afterwards regarding the money/resources spent.
P Venus Trine This is quite a blissful aspect in such a
North Node way that it reinforces the magnetism
around and associated with that individual. Sudden but happy
success in the general activities brings one's ego up.
Financially, creativity-wise and in love/romance, this aspect is
often very helpful to that individual. At this time, one has a better
approach and methodology to balance his energies properly at
the above different things. On a negative side, this aspect often
provides over-indulgence and careless attitudes in the Venusian
things which are not good for future security and enjoyment to
that individual. Thus, one may relax too much and with the
carefree attitude lose his possessions by simply being
negligent. Similarly, in romance, over-confidence or carefree
attitude may allow the loved one to be stolen from under his
nose.
P Mars Conjunct This aspect provides a lot of energy of
North Node purpose that they never thought they
had with them before. Often the circumstances and past life
activities force them to do things which they would not have
done otherwise. Here, the hidden energy, if not properly
utilized, can cause internal physical difficulties. The balancing
is highly needed and required to achieve the optimum results or
goals. In a woman's chart, strong Karmic activities, good and
bad, often occur at this time span. The relationships have
exaggerated or wild beginnings. Temperamental stage needs a
good cover-up at this time. This temper may be just a passing
56
influence, but it can cause long-term problems if the chart has
such potential. Basically, the constructive use of energies will
achieve and fulfill a lot of Karmic action during the time span of
this aspect.
P Mars Oppo. In this case, sudden loss of energies is
North Node noticed or the circumstances are telling
you to slow down or not be over-aggressive. Thus, a lack of
energy and a red signal for energy applications becomes a
conflicting issue to this individual. This duality of situation
causes enough confusion within the individual and it
subsequently hurts his ego/identity. Accident-prone
tendencies or sudden downshifts in life should be watched at
this time. In a female chart, troubles, difficulties with 'men' is
quite inevitable. Physical condition does need strong attention
around this time as the individual is quite vulnerable to problems
and diseases.
P Mars Square In this case, circumstantial obstructions
North Node cause energy imbalance for this indivi-
dual. At this time, clumsiness, minor accident-prone tendencies
increase substantially. Loss of vitality or hidden physical
problems are often associated with this aspect. Sexual
dissatisfactions caused by either too high, or too low, physical
needs, haunts the person for a while. Here, the person goes
through changeable sexual/physical needs that are quite
problem-creating as far as others are concerned. Although
there is no external change visible, the internal manifestation
makes this aspect intolerable for some time. This aspect is more
significant in a woman's chart than in a man's chart.
P Mars Trine In this aspect, super energy coordina-
North Node tion and stamina is displayed by that
individual. Here, what one wants to do and how to do it are all
resolved for them very nicely and easily by circumstances. An
ease of operation regarding their plans and actions is noticed. A
lot of Karmic fulfillment is often associated with this energetic
aspect. The position of Mars and the house ruled by Aries in the
natal chart will signify where the action is focusing from.
concentrated energy support will be given to those areas of life
mentioned by the above houses. Considerable, but continuous,
creative energy output is also a major contribution of this
aspect.
57
I,
P Jupiter Conjunct In this aspect, one derives the benefits
. North Node from the good deeds done in the previ-
ous life. Sudden and unknown help comes to your assistance in
':lany areas of life. This good luck is not only a reward but also a
ticket to futu re good deeds. Th us, if you can mai ntai n the flow of
this luck factor, you will be climbing the spiritual ladder with
considerable speed. However, any destructive actions or
negative Karmic fulfillments will show you reverses in the
circumstantial assistance. In general, the native gets what he
wants on a normal mundane level as well as in the esoteric
sense. Weight control and over-indulgence needs to be
watched as this is quite an expansive aspect. Financial success
and administrative talent work at their best efficiency during this
time span.
P Jupiter Oppo. This is quite a beneficial and lucky
North Node aspect in a sense that it washes a lot of
liability by good action or good deeds towards others,
consciously or unconsciously. Since the balance of Karma is
not really known, one will know the past account by how this
aspect finalizes. Thus, if after the aspect is over, one has an
uplift in life in a general sense, then the Karmic fulfillment is
positive and neutralized. On the other hand, if the finalization of
this aspect still shows difficulties to that individual, then it is safe
to assume that one had a lot to repay in terms of Karmic debt and
he is still in the hold as far as karmic debt fulfillment. At this
point, basically, great philosophical and mystical
understanding is planted in that soul which grows in time. On a
mundane level, it may indicate financial tensions, difficulties
with children and philosophical/religious conflicts.
P Jupiter Square This is a tricky aspect in a sense that it
North Node does not allow over-expansion in any
area of life. It teaches you how to conserve and progress at the
same time. For example, it will not allow business expansion in
of capital expenditure. However. it will ask you to look
Into more profitable and efficient means to produce more
without increasing the input in raw materials. Basically, this is
efficiency, oriented aspect and all the wastage will be brought
with or without circumstantial force. Ability to deal
wlt.h circumstances and self-sustaining rules are taught at this
POint. Here, one's philosophies are obstructed and
contradicted by all around them. Financial tensions are quite
common. At this point, all you have to do is keep a philosophical
58
view about everything and put in your normal efforts and then
hope for the best.
P Jupiter Trine This is quite a lucky aspect and most
North Node often you get what you deserve in the
good sense at that time. Mind expansion and broadening of
one's philosophical horizons are very keen outcomes of this
aspect at this time. Happiness from children, material success
and general peace of mind are noticed at this time. Proper
planning and execution of one's long-term goals are at
this time. General moods and attitudes are so positive at this
time that the success in the desired direction becomes an easy
target for this individual.

TRANSITING NODES
Since the transiting nodes travel backwards in the zodiac at the
rate of 1
1
/2 years in each sign, the cycle repeats in every 18 years.
The Conjunctions and Oppositions of anyone node
are very significant to the planets in the natal chart. The other
being minor, are not taken very seriously in this book.
(The minor aspects do have some effects during the transits in
the natal chart; however, due to space limitations they are not
Included In this book.) All the transiting aspects of nodes to the
planets In the chart are Karmic points of interchange. These
bring the native back to its normal pattern of
destiny. Thus, the free will has the most significant freedom to
the two transiting connections. I n other words, when the
destined nodes are making significant aspects to the chart, the
will eXistence is at its minimum. Looking from a
philosophical standpoint, this is the time when a human has
nothing to worry about as the decisions are made for that
which are best in the long run. This is like a person
tied with a 20-foot chain who is asked to go anywhere he pleases
as lo.ng he does not break the chain. Please keep in mind that
IS not a pessimistic viewpoint but rather a guideline
which has forceful powers over your journey through life.

Affairs of male or of 'father-figure' are very
significant this time. Usually a greater amount of success from
or assistance by them can be expected at this ti me. Th is is
the time of reward collection. If you are in line for a reward, this
time sure you get what is coming to you in a real sense.
At thiS POint, one has to bow to the situations and then one gets
rewarded for tactful with the circumstances. Usually, a
confining or binding period is associated before this
aspect . substantial freeness afterwards. Change in

IS a personal elevation at that time.
T North Node At this time, one has to go through quite

pected problems occur when this is happening. Downshift in

one's ego/identity/personality has to be done in order to keep
and maintain its normal position. Circumstances zoom over you
like a lawn mower and if you fail to watch yourself, your ego is
likely to be cut off by a major problem. As a result, often an
inferiority complex, lack of self-image and self-respect is
noticed with this transit. If one has a real low individualtiy
profile, then this transit may not even show significant effect as
the native is not after conquering some huge success anyway
Physical problems or lack of vitality and go-get spirit is noticed
at this time. Possible sickness, death or regenerative process
occurs in the near family, especially, to father or male figure.
T North Node At this point, strong but cloudy emo-
Conjunct Moon tions fight thei r way through the circum-
stances to achieve the deeper significance of emotional
comforts. This often leads to gloomy days before the transit
completes. However, when the transit is over, one has a sigh of
relief and a smile on his face. 'Mother-figure' or 'women', in
general, are under focus during this transit. SensitiVity is often
blocked by circumstantial pressure or clouds making it difficult
for them to express emotionally at the right time. They may do
so later on, but timing for that could be off. As a result of this
transit, one does not appear as imaginative, moody and
sensitive as he would otherwise.
T North Node At this point, one is forced to go through
Oppo. Moon a dramatic incident or at least its fear.
Depression and isolation with or without reason is quite
significant at this time. At this point in life, emotional nervous
energy needs an outlet in order to keep their sanity normal.
Affairs of mother or 'women' in life are important and often their
hindrance would be a negative factor in this transit Thus, try to
keep the women's influence over you to a minimu m at this point
Basically, this influence is domineering and makes it difficult for
you to run your life normally. At this time, watch the health of
mother and problems from excessive or fertile imagination.
T North Node At this point, sudden changes, mostly
Conjunct Mercury positive, regarding the activities of
Mercury in the natal chart will be noticed. Here, one often goes
through a non-communicative period just to get the idea of how
it feels. Changes in job or communicative patterns often occur
associated with this transit. Here the nervous energy is quite
highly excited but it is consumed within by the soul. Strain in the
61
brain gives it a fatigue test which helps evaluate your mental
stamina and capacity. Affairs of brothers and sisters are quite
important at this time. Travel, or its planning, is done at this time
as the routine things force the person to think about scenic
changes.
T North Node In this aspect, non-communicative
Oppo. Mercury period is almost forced upon the indi-
vidual whether he likes it or not. Changes in the surroundings
are associated and created by others demands. Nervous energy
builds up at this time and it certainly needs a positive outlet. If
not properly channelled, this causes a nervous breakdown. The
energy balance and its utilization is very important and
significant at this time. Electro-nervous system and improper
reflex actions are under focus due to this aspect. Avoid travel or
any long-term planning under this transit. Business changes
force the person to bow to the wrong individual as result of this
difficult transit.
T North Node At this period, sudden cooling down of
Conjunct Venus love/romance is noticed. Here, there is
nothing outstandingly wrong but the individual just has to take a
quick and long look at what is going on. Romantic suffocation
can often happen under these conditions. Karmic attractions
usually start under these aspects. One finds the mission done
and underdone and the previous reincarnations pop in and out
at thiS time. Financially, this is a fairly good aspect if they know
what they are doing and use a little bit of logic towards success.
The achievements, if well deserved, will come to them at this
time. At this point, over-indulgence certainly needs a control or

That is to say, one is on his own around this transit regarding the
love/romance actions. Thus, if the relationship has to survive, a
lot of inhuman effort is needed to be put in by both parties.
Although nothing unworldly occurs between the two
individuals, it seems like they behave in different time frames,
and do not understand each other on a normal mundane level.
At this time, financial losses, frozen assets and sudden
difficulties are quite significant and normal. Basically, this time
indicates misdirected affections and misunderstood feelings of
that person.
62
T North Node At this point, one always gets a tremen-
Conjunct Mars dous urge to do things which he would
not want to do otherwise. This unexpected energy expansion is
highly remotely controlled and the individual feels like a yo-yo
doing the destined workload. In a woman's chart, it often
signifies a strong male figure and his influence over her. Certain
Karmic events or new acquaintances occur in her life at this
time. Accident-prone tendencies, overwork, and crossing the
endurance limit should be watched at this time, as the native still
has certain control over the output of his energies. High blood
pressure and irritable behavior is quite common at this time.
T North Node Due to this transit, things often go
Oppo. Mars wrong and one makes considerable
mistakes in his undertakings. Somehow, the circumstantial
blockages work so much against that individual that he has a
minute chance to produce anything substantial. Accident-
prone tendencies are quite likely and physical health does
require strong attention. Low blood pressure or weak energies
trying to do a large project occurs at this time. In a female chart,
danger, difficulties and sorrow from male figures is significant
and often unavoidable. Temperamental difficulties cause future
problems. Female physiological cycle often gets distorted at
this time.
T North Node At this time, a person has substantial
Conjunct Jupiter control over his financial activities and
philosophies. His general attitude is well balanced by his
desires and proper circumstantial support. Here, what one
wants to do with his resources may not be what the
circumstances want him to do. As a result, some tensions and
frustrations are seen within that individual. Basically, this turns
out to be an excellent decision in the long run as long as the
individual does not fight too vigorously with the ci rcumstances.
If at this point, one is highly tempted to use and spread his
resources, the actual loss can become a gain in terms of
philosophical understandings. In many cases, sudden freeze on
financial activities is noticed. The purpose of it is to find how
one deals with such circumstances in a logical way. Please note
that this is a good aspect and the circumstantial intensions are
to your advantage. Deep-rooted philosophies from past life
often get re-engraved, reshaped or reinforced at this time.
Watch your weig ht and diet under this critical aspect as physical
expansion is very easy now.

T North Node In this transit, sudden depletion of fi-

find added or new expenditures that they never planned before.
It is not necessary to indulge in some way but this aspect will
find a way to spend money or resources somewhere other than
one normally spends. Thus, one has to account for added
resources just to break even in his cash flow. This aspect tends
to be on a negative level by confronting the individual in all
directions. Here, their own philosophies are tested and they are
forced to abide by their own rules and regulations. Thus, they
cannot do anything they like and get away with it. At this time,
listen to the advice from other people as they probably know
better than you under the framework of this transit. At this point,
loss of weight is quite likely unless your natal chart has a lot of
nervousness creating aspects.
T North Node This transit often indicates some rescue
Conjunct Saturn from a very close call. At this point,
limitations on that individual reach a peak instantly and then
things quiet down substantially. Saturian problems become
more acute or these people get aware of those problems at this
time. This transit is quite known for many learning experiences
that one goes through, irrespective of whether he wants to learn
them or not. This also brings about your limits of patience and
your general stamina to face the situations. However, all this
testing is done in a very constructive way without breaking you
completely apart during the test. As an end result, you will know
a lot about yourself with improved self-image. Older folks, old
ideas and methodology playa significant role at this time in your
life. Their assistance is well worth looking into as a guiding
source for your spiritual growth during this transit.
T North Node This is quite a confining transit depen-
Oppo. Saturn ding upon the weakness of Saturn in the
in the natal chart. If the Saturn is not very prominent in the chart,
then the effects may not be noticed externally. However, in that
case, the individual knows something is going on, but cannot
put his finger on it. General restrictions, physical weakness,
melancholy or isolated attitude and behavior are all most
common during this time period. Probable sickness or death in
a near family, especially older people, is noticed. Circulatory
problems, weak bones, colds, etc. are normal Saturian problems
which will be significant at this time. In general, this is a
discouraging transit that often distorts and disintegrates the
64
individuals on many fronts. If the natal Saturn/Nodes aspect is
favorable, then this transit shows weak effects and at times even
beneficial. General focus and areas of obstructions will come
from the house ruled by Capricorn in the natal chart.
T North Node Transiting North Node going over the
Over North Node natal North Node is an 18-year cycle as
it takes that much time for the nodes to travel through the
zodiac. This node-return is thus a major Karmic phase in one's
lifetime. Often this phase repeats every 18-19 years but with
different events and projects under focus. Usually, one is given
this much of maximum time to fulfill his Karmic lessons in the
areas of choice. These learning processes change as one
advances on the spiritual ladder upwards or downwards.
1st to 18th Year: This represents the learnings in life in
terms of school and basic understand-
ings. This is often done in the shadow of parents with some
discipline from them. Learning to respect and understand the
'wise identities' is a part of this growth process.
19-36 Years: This is a growth and learning period in
terms of romance, marriage, partner-
ships, children, etc. Ego and identity grows at the fastest rate at
this time. Most of the life foundation and utilization of
constructive talents learned before is under focus at this time.
37 to 54 Years: This is quite an accelerated or stabilized
period depending upon the natal chart.
In an extrovert chart this will show substantial growth of identity
whereas in an intorverted chart, a tendency to stabilize what is
achieved will be noticed. Public image, self-respect and social
status is under focus at this time.
55 to 72 Years: This nodal return cycle is almost the last
one for many people. Applying and
teaching the experiences to the upcoming generation becomes
a key focus for them. Carry-over knowledge to your
descendents and making them fit to understand the worldly
game is his motto here.
73 to 90 Years: This nodal return indicates the com-
plete fulfillment in life. Substantial
amount of Karmic duties have been given to that soul and being

able to make it up to this line is quite an achievement, whether
they think so or not. Actual contributions may not be very
significant, but they provide a great deal of inspiration and
visualized examples to others to follow their golden paths. At
this time, the life has the highest philosophical and esoteric
touch to make the spiritual transition an easy one.
The South Node going over its natal position becomes another
18-year cycle which coincides with the above cycle. However,
the South node going over the North Node is a cycle in between
the above cycle with the same 18-year periodicity. Thus, the
critical ages for the that cycle are 9, 27, 45, 63, 81 and 99.
Transiting nodes over Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are not
highly significant as these are very slow moving planets and the
effects occur on many people simultaneously. Thus, the
influence is felt more on a generational level rather than on a
single identity. As a result of this, there is not much individuality
involved in these transits.
Nodes Over Uranus:
In general, nodes over Uranus bring about unexpected events,
new innovation, built-up nervous state and its explosion.
Things seldom go as planned. Here, the unpredictable
combines with the unknown and the result is very hard to
determine on a mundane level. Basically, the North Node transit
over Uranus is more of a constructive outlet or favorable event-
forming situation, whereas the South Node going over Uranus
indicates influences that are on a slightly destructive and dis-
couraging level.
Nodes Over Neptune:
Transits of nodes over natal Neptune often bring about various
psychic or spiritual experiences connected with the past-life
activities and their manifestations in this life. Often a deep-
rooted creative talent comes out without prior warning at this
time and amazes others. Self-delusion or loss of individuality
may occur if Neptune was afflicted in the natal chart. The North
Node conjunction to Neptune is more of a soft transit, bringing
about better qualities of Neptune, such as idealistic behavior,
general happiness, through high imagination and fantasies, etc.
On the other hand, the South Node transits over Neptune are
66
slightly unfavorable and distorted, bringing about the l o ~ e r
qualities of Neptune such as self-intoxication, excessIve
. delusion and imagination, drugs, alcohol etc.
Nodes Over Pluto:
Transiting nodes over natal Pluto bring about unexpected b ~ t
large scale changes in the society/generation as a whole. At thiS
time, the individuality turns its attention to masses or the masses
become more individualized. Here, the tendency to destroy to
renew is kept at its minimum and the changes are made with
moderate quiet actions. This process if often linked with the
process of crystalization where individuality gathers together to
project a better substance. It will be highly noticed by the North
Node association to Pluto. On the other hand. the South Node
transits to Pluto are more of a disassociation or disintegrating
process. Here, the group affiliations dissolve. with the
circumstances to form a smaller elemental projection based
upon the individual needs. This node/Pluto process is quite
interesting to observe in the society in general.
T North Node Conjunct the Ascendant:
This transit often brings about new dimensions in life. Many
past-life connections may come into play just to show you a few
glimpses. People entering your life at this time have
considerable significance with you regarding past and future
activities. Major transition in life is noticed at this point. This
new direction needs proper guidance and control to make it a
successful one. Sudden personal recognition or self-worth is
noticed right after the transit is over.
T North Node Opposite the Ascendant:
During this transit, the person goes through an individuality
introversion whereas his external image undergoes a
tremendous growth. In this transit, a slightly conflicting air is
felt. Others feel that this person is very happy and content as his
external expansion only is noticed by them, possibly with many
accomplishments and activities. However. deep down,
internally, he does not feel he has achieved anythin.g
uncommon. He just wants to crawl in and be nobody. At thiS
point, somehow, the feelings are crushed, misdirected and
misused by people around him.

TRANSITING PLANETS TO THE NODES
Since the nodal axis represents the Karmic line of flow in the
natal chart and subsequently in the path of that soul in the
continuum, Transiting planet brings in temporary
circumstances, over and beyond the control of that individual at
that time frame. Thus, in this interaction, minor timely local
perturbation is created in the otherwise destined path. Viewing
from a different angle, it represents the choice of action or the
self-displayed free will through circumstances at this time. If life
is destined in its own package, predetermined at birth, the
transiting planets' influence over the nodal axis represents the
periodic correction, readjustments or realignment of the
destined path. These things appear little contradictory in their
inner framework. Why should there be a change to the destiny
that is already determined? The simplest answer is the inner
correcting - directing or guiding mechanism given to that
individual should determine the periodic adjustment of Karmic
line of flow. The transiting planets will simply bring-in the
necessary opportunities to make the appropriate changes, if
needed. Thus, transiting planets to the nodes indicate self
proposed, but circumstantially activated trajectory
modifications path of that soul. Another factor involved in this
consideration is the global, universal change and its impact
upon the predetermined state of that individual. Considering
the soul pattern was created way in the past, but the
environmental, evolutional and universal added growth
manifestations are added as periodic corrections to the life of
that soul later through these transiting influences.
When a transiting planet conjuncts either node, the
precipitating effects on that individual includethequalityofthat
planet and the house(s) ruled by that planet in that natal chart.
Since the North Node behave!' as a distributing agent,
conjunction to this point, will elevate, expand and in general,
increase the quality ruled by that transiting planet. Here one
would notice a sudden jump or shift in the appropriate qualities
governed by that transiting planet in that chart. For example,
Transiting Mars conjunct natal North Node and Aries on the
cusp of 3rd house. Here one would notice an increase in the
energy, zest and applications relating to the third house. Thus,
more communicative energy or need for expression or sudden

North Node being the bridge to the future, any situation here is
looked at as a futuristic event - investment, etc. Thus, if one
not see full constructive, proper rewards or growth at these
times, one can be sure it is being preserved for the future
account. The individual mayor may not have conscious
control on what he can reap here and what goes towards the
future account.
Summarizing, the events dealing with the south node will have a
touch of past life unfinished interactions. One will notice some
sacrifice, self-service, Karmic payment, or just unconscious
of fulfillment. On the other hand, events dealing
with North Node will have some instant benefits rewards for
qUick efforts or, just a conscious satisfaction to do something
towards others In whatever form. It represents Karmic savings
for the future account.

Transiting Pluto Conjunct South Node
Basic regenerative influence and sudden disruptive situations
noticed in life. Minor change in strategy of life due to
circumstances beyond control. A feeling of defeat due to lack of
self-coordination seen here. Transcending principle and its
untimely usage noticed. Thus, the individual adapts, changes or
modifies to the situations, but gets frustrated due to improper
timing. Universal awareness is noticed but the lack of self-worth
understood here in the area of life ruled by scorpio in the chart.
The effects of this transit are quite slow in their manifestation
and the events will be fired at the individual through
circumstances like a quick global attack. The individual gets
enough time to absorb the learning potential through the
external activity and make proper judgments of their awareness
on an inner level. Basically, events relating the surrounding
masses, political understanding of the current situations, own
sexual awareness and any inhibitions in that area, disruptive
ending of the power struggle in the near environment, special
loss of self-worth felt to a specific area of life, mystical or occult
involvement that one gets compelled into, etc. is noticed at this
time.
Transiting Pluto Conjunct North Node
This transit is quite constructive in nature and the effects are
focused on the areas described above in the South Node section.
North Node contact is more of a building situation in life and
various scorpionic, plutonic activities well structured here. In the
South Node, the effects were partially frustrative, disruptive in
nature; however, in North Node the person learns to patch pieces
together. Long-term goals are well formed here and the timing
of opportunity is quite right. At this time, the individual looks
back at life and corrects various future goals and paths. This
corrective stage is very important as it sheds away unwanted life
pursuits. Many short cuts are temporarily visible at this time on
and the individual takes on new life trajectory or modifies it at
this time. Good perception, circumstantial understanding of the
issues of life and more optimum direction for the future are
visible here. Self created success is often initiated here, if natal
aspects to nodes show good promise.

Transiting Uranus Conjunct South Node
This is probably the most unexpected event creating transit.
Nodes and Uranus both bring awareness after the event has
occurred Thus, one gets the event impact and then becomes
aware of its cause and reaction. Unusual and uncommon
character of Uranus certainly is seen here. Past mistakes often
catch up here to the individual, when he is least expecting.
Suppression of one's unusuality, hiding the uniqueness and
internalizing the sensational needs seen at this time. They are
all likely to be related to the area of life ruled by Uranus in that
chart. On a social level, the individual feels the need to hide that
area of life from others. Depending upon the past experiences,
he will show the explicit rebellious attitudes about those areas of
life ruled by Uranus in the natal chart. Paying back the Karmic
debt occurs here all of a sudden when the individual may not be
ready. Thus, one is forced to give up things which he may not
want to consciously. Strong reversals in conventionalities to
unconventionalities of life are seen here. The native simply needs a
change or it is thrust upon him without his explicit choice.
Transiting Uranus Conjunct North Node
Unexpected good situations, lucky breaks and chancy events
quite significant at this time, if the natal chart supports such
activity. Here the environment provides an opportunity to the
individual and the destiny decides the outcome depending upon
how he handles it. Here most of the good influence is stored
away for future rainy days from this transit. Brilliant ideas,
plans, strategies and optimum solutions just flash through the
native here. The areas of life ruled by Uranus in the natal chart
bring the focus to this transit. Departure from conventional to
unconventional form noticed in that area of life. It is more of a
release of burden from life by virtue of unexpected "Key" of
solution to the situation Nervousness is created in this transit,
but it can constructively be used for good purposes at that time.
This consoliation of nervous energy for proper drive is
exceptional along with rebellious nature and outlets actually
bring good ways of life here. In an earlier life, this transit
produces excellent results than in the later ages. Avoid
selfinduced speculation at this time, as the final outcomes are more
uncertain than normal. However, circumstances will bring
many chances to this individual at this time.

as a new short term strategy. Group associations, legalities or

regarding some key areas of life and often gets suc?essful a.t this

with the individual here. Watch general body expansion,

In this transit, temporary energy depletion is noticed.
Enthusiasm is suddenly lowered due to circumstances and the
zest properly utilized. Impatience meets more delays and the
native becomes high strung and nervous at this time. Actually,
all coincidences point to a temporary hole in the energy balance
in the life of that individual. Aggressions, temperament and
risky strategy regarding the areas ruled by Mars in that natal
chart need careful consideration. Past mistakes catch up with
the individual and it is hard to avoid them at this time. Travel,
brother/sister relationship needs more careful attention at this
time. In a female chart, difficult interactions with male identities
quite significant at this time. Female physiological cycle gets
distorted at times, if natal Mars is afflicted.

76
NODES IN SYNASTRY
Nodal axis is quite important in chart comparison or synastry.
All the planets manifest and interact explicitly in the chart
comparison with reasons you can put your fingers on. However,
when it comes to Nodes, one cannot see their outward
manifestation or one-to-one influence in that interaction. This
hidden quality associated with Nodes is explained on Karmic
continuation level. Thus, there may be no outwardly worldly
reason for the two individuals to interact, in such a manner that
both are somehow compelled to do so. This is where nodal
contacts come in play. When a nodal contact is noticed from
one chart to another, there is greater likelihood of one wanting
the interaction or demanding one for no special explicit reason,
This inner impulse is not a regular humanly magnetism but a
Karmic Force and its "to be continued" nature. Thus, one may
be attracted to, forced by, past life behavior or with compulsion
to initiate a futuristic contact towards the other individual. This
invisible force is hard to comprehend at times, if nodal contacts
are neglected. Outwardly, one shows an effect, that has a totally
different undercurrent based upon the interaction spectrum of
those two individuals on a Karmic continuation. Role reversals
are often seen as an outcome of this. Needing a father figure or
motherly type interaction is just another way to fulfill the soul
interactions in spite of different body forms in appropriate
relationships. Here one may notice a past life mother-son
relationship transformed into a romantic encounter in the
current time frame. In such a case, an indirect undercurrent of
the past relationship is still visible, that keeps the relationship
going strongly from within. Here the souls are fulfilling fualistic
functions. This multiplicity of functions is often seen through
nodal contacts in chart comparison. In other words, past,
present and future not necessarily connected through a simple
linear contact but a probable multiple linkage. One may bring a
quick question at this point. What are the priorities in the life of
that soul at the present time? Is past relationship more
significant than the current one, or should one invest towards
the future life time and neglect the past compulsion? The
choices may lie within each individual and their together
combination. Nodal contacts will remind of the past activity,
any prior debts to the other soul. However, you have an overall
choice, if you want to keep the past account continued or work
77
towards neutralizing it now.
Since South Node is the connection to the past, any South Node
conjunction to the other chart will bring in or initiate inner
compulsive need for the energy flow towards the South Node.
Thus, unconsciously or explicitly, an individual will feel a need to do
for the South Node person. This indirect
created in the past life time, but is being activated
In life time. The debt as liability or just a good feeling in the
sacnflce towards the south node individual is significant to the
person. The quality of such an exchange or the nature of
Obligatory flow depends upon the planet involved and the
it rules in that natal chart. If one's south node
conJuncts other person's Jupiter, and Sagittarius on his 3rd
house cusp; then the south node person will receive Jupiterian
-. 3rd type of flow from the other individual. Here the past
life can .only fulfilled through this exchange. It
c?uld be Simply philosophical Ideas, mental expansion or just a
sympathy. Even though the interaction has been
slllce life time, it is not totally binding to both
at life time. They can simply pass is on and let
continue in the future life time interaction. All it

person and his mental and philosophical reserves.
If the. above situation involved North Node, then there are no
life contacts or obligations in the interactions. These two
Will have no inner bond keer:> the relationship going.
However, th?y may feel like Investing in each other for future

next time, the other one may buy for him. He is not
to get the reciprocal treatment, but rather keeping the
bndge open between the two individuals for future references.
Node contacts are quite interesting as the situation lacks
major supporting mechanism. Both parties want the interaction
?ut are .unable fo fulfill or complete it in this time. Thus.
IIlteractlOn becomes "to be continued" in the next life time. In
other .words, present north node contact situation becomes the
past life Karmic liability in the future life time.
78
In summary, South Node individual often receives from the other
person's planetary quality and the house(s) ruled by that planet
in the natal chart of that individual. This is due to the unfinished
past life debt or combined interactions from before.
In North Node contact, there are no past connections, but the
present situation is an exploratory futuristic investment. It is
usually a nice interaction without force or compulsion on either
side. However, the circumstantial interference has potential in
it, to make the interaction slightly inadquate, unrealistic or
untimely in this life time. It definitely has futuristic potential and
"to be continued" tag.
Sun - South Node
This contact signifies past life relationship in which South Node
individual contributed a lot. In this life, he is ready to accept,
collect and receive whatever Sun person has to give. Usually,
the sun person will feel honored and deeply attached to the
south node individual. Even though he may have to lose his
pride, good support will be shown to the later. Here, former
behaves like a father influencial contact or just a hopeful ray of
sunshine to the other person. The internal Karmic tie is strong
and in a male-female relationship, this can be a significant
binding contract. However, Sun person may only fully give the
life area ruled by Leo in his natal chart. In this case, sun person
is given an opportunity to fulfill his prior Karmic debt to the later.
On the surface, former may feel constrained, restricted and at
times, blocked by the later.
Sun - North Node
This is a new relationship and both parties are willing to invest in
it for future. Here, no one owes anything to the other, but they
both feel inner compUlsion to participate towards the other's
good will. Sun will try to bring his influence, power, connections
and general personality display to boost the other one. Here,
the North Node person appears as a good credit risk to the Sun.
Selflessness as far as this life is concerned is noticed here.
Both parties notice minor inadequacies in the relationship, but
they know they will get a second chance in future life time
anyway. This is quite an honorable, trustworthy and delightful
relationship. The area participated is mostly indicated by the
appropriate house positions and the house ruled by Leo in that
79
III
I,
natal chart. This is a good situation when at least one masculine
character is involved, preferrably, the Sun individual.
Moon - South Node
This interaction brings strong emotional flow from Moon to the
South Node person. Here, Moon person feels obligated to
provide a lot of emotional comfort, support, sympathy and apathy
th.e Often there is motherly nurturing
In thiS interaction stemlng out of past life relationship involving
one them as mother. !his residual motherly character brings
all kinds of umbrella Influence and subsequent emotional
shelter in this relationship. Moon person gets drained at times
and may even have to sacrifice a great deal towards the other.
Here, the South Node might become a hanger on to the other
person. The areas of life through which this interaction will be
seen, relates to the house ruled by Cancer in that natal chart.
Thus, some emotional parasitical situation is seen regarding
that area of life. The Moon individual does have a choice,
whether he should totally SUbject to this transaction or not in
this life time. He is also unconsciously providing a lot of
sensitivity, creativity and imagination and mood balance to the
South Node individual.
Moon - North Node
This contact is quite significant in terms of allowing each other
sufficient freedom for the flow of sensitivity without being an
explicit obligation to anyone. Both parties are Willing to look at
the situation in a critical, objective manner and make their own
investment judgements. Most of the time, it is the Moon
individual who initiates the flow of exchange and in return,
expects things, but no sooner than next life time. This futuristic
is due to circumstances in t:,e relationship. Both
parties are aware of the depth and extent of the interaction as
well as the worldly limitations in that time frame. This display,
exchange and stockpile of feelings is well recorded on the
Karmic scale on their accounts. In most cases, this type of
interaction is more significant and likely when at least one party
is a female and preferrably older than the other. Thus, it may
have motherly touch or at least with substantial depth of
sensitivity, creative imagination and feminine surplus. This type
of basic relationship usually lasts for several future life times.
80
Mercury - South Node
This connection provides a mental link between the two .souls,
arriving out of one's predominant good judgement, logic and
brilliancy from the previous life tim.e. the. Mercury feels
obligated to provide all the benefits <;>f his mental
capacity and all communicative expression. In this contactthat
South Node will take advantage of the inner impulse of t.he
person. Idea transfer, communicative and
exchange is very significant here. One being a pnor mentor
or teacher or even a senior business partner of the
seen from the past life time. Possible brotherly
is quite likely in this exchange. Mercury feel.s to
whatever is in his capacity to the South Node Indl.vl?ual. !hls
exchange will have many areas of life ruled by Gemini and Virgo
houses in that natal chart. As a result, transfer of
magnitude is noticed in this case. !his is quite go?d in busl.ness,
partnership, learning and of life. At times,
Mercury may over do his responsibility an? .make the ?ther
person nervous. On the other hand, over-draining causes Inner
hostilities to the Mercury individual.
Mercury - North Node
This is a good contact to initiate in a business world. Both are
eager to establish proper exchange channels through early
stages. This special "phone line" between these Is grows
the time goes on. Mercury individual will receive substantial
boost, idea growth and ways of proper expression the
other. Circumstances are such, Mercury person wll.1
benefited most out of this situation in this lifetime. Along With It,
he is also establishing good report with the nort.h no?e
individual as a future reference. Idea exchange IS
innovatively illuminated and both minds work on a special
frequency. The areas they could share depend upon the houses
ruled by Gemini and Virgo in that natal chart and the house
location of North Node in the other chart. For easy flow,
appropriate individual houses should not make squ.are ?r
oppositions, but rather an easy .Both WI,". gain
significant information sources In thiS life for their
growth through others. Excellent intellectual compatibility IS
noticed through this aspect.
81
II
Venus - South Node
This brings about an unfinished past life romance
or special feeling exchange. Circumstances were not perfect in
the 'previous times for these souls to graduate up to the
desired level. As a result, the relationship was
su.ddenly disrupted then, in the hope of future continuation. In
this case, Venus person feels obligated and honored to fulfill
various activities the South Node. They can be mostly in the
area of emotional flow, esthetic comforts, joy
transfer or Just Indulgive services. South node would receive
fringe the.other person, without properly
working for them In this life time. Venus person is often
attracted on the surface to the other but deep down he has a
sense of responsi.bility to make the south node happy by all
benefits, material flow and general
beautification IS seen In the transfer. This type of interaction is
more potent In people with opposite sexes. In people with the
sam.e there is an unusuality of the relationship.
It a strong enough to be a marriage or
serious interaction, in general. The Venus person can
almost participate and shed things relating to the houses ruled
by Taurus and Libra in his natal chart. Depending upon those
houses, the actual relationship will flourish or be given a rain-
check for future life-time.
Venus - North Node
This .can a casual beginning stage for strong romantic
emotional Involvement. Basic ingredients for attraction are
present .or possibly here. However, timing may not be
appropriate to CUlminate this interaction to its full extent. As a
result, a future reservation is made for these individuals based
how they play the game now - in this life time, with the
hardware. They have explicit choice to shake hands
and drift ap,art. However, if they meet and interact, stimulation is
created which grows in time, Both people will try to impress
each with appropriate feeling exchange. Its basic
purpose IS to Inltrate a situation, upon which something grand
may be created in times to come. They are aware of the risk, that
they not. even meet in times for a long time, but they
feel all right In such speculation. North node will bring some
to Venus person about something ancient, jogging
hiS memory to excite his status. On the other hand, Venus
82
,
appears charming, easy going and expressible to north node.
The actual areas of exchange of activities depends upon the
houses ruled by Taurus and Libra in the natal chart of Venus
person and the house location of north node.
Mars - South Node
This is not necessarily a good situation on the surface as Mars is
often drained of his energies and inner hostilities develop. Even
though, Mars is aware of the past debt to south node, his pride
gets in the way. He reluctantly gives in. This becomes slightly
problematic, if both have the same gender. If Mars is a woman,
then the exchange of energy is quite strong and she truly lets
her go sexually to the South Node. On the other hand, if Mars is a
man, and South Node a female, one may notice a hen-pecked
husband in the combination. Strong Martian energy is often
stimulated by the other person and the inner surge to give it to
south node is noticed all around. These energies are often
channelled through the house ruled by Aries in that natal chart.
Depending upon the house location, the relationship will be
better defined. For romance/marriage status, this relationship
has degenerated out of past life love-marriage combination,
brotherly interaction, sports competitors, enemies, soldiers,
etc. Care should be taken that south node individual does not
overburden Mars. In that case, Mars' temperament and rash
actions take them back to square one.
Mars - North Node
This is a stimulating relationship. Both parties are vigorous,
enthusiastic and bubbly towards each other. They enjoy the
competitiveness and generous energy release in that situation.
Mars person may try to take the lead in it and north node will
slowly support the growing interchange. Mars may be little
overly ambitious and presumptious in the company of north
node. Their philosophy is 'enjoy now and always.' It seems like
they have just begun and have a life time to go. Mutually
challenging, frank and open relationship is well noticed by
everyone in this case. The way they create the interaction,
nobody cares who owes it to who in future life times. When they
drift apart, it is with such grace and ease, you can hardly feel the
separation. This is quite good for any combination of genders.
The areas of life in focus are the house ruled by Aries in that
natal chart and the house occupied by the north node.
83
Jupiter - South Node
In this contact, Jupiter provides a lot of luck, philosophy
consideration and some material rewards to the other person.
South node will take whatever he can out of this relationship as
Jupiter will feel confident that he has plentiful. Only once in a
while, Jupiter feels a little concerned about the greed and
draining capacity of south node. This interaction is often
brought about by philosophical, religious, institutional,
educational or financial injustice caused by one to the other. To
compensate for his past mistake or short end of the justice
balance, Jupiter is willing to sacrifice to the south node person.
He likes to establish better character reference for himself out of
this ordeal. It is important to study the house ruled by
Sagittarius in that natal chart since he might be limited to shed
only that part of his life to south node. Similarly, the house
location of south node will display the area in which he can
internalize this exchange. Thus, the relationship is not always
fully flowing and it may take several life times together before
Jupiter feels he is out of his self-created drudgery towards south
node. What a price to pay for injustice!
Jupiter - North Node
This is quite philosophically boosting combination. People
here have very similar standards, concepts and beliefs on an
esoteric level. They may differ in real life practicality, but deep
down, they really support each other. A sense of universal
equality is noticed in this combination. Both parties enjoy
globalizing things and building concepts out of their mundane
practical life. It is a good combination for various walks of life
people getting together for a common cause, group activities,
religious-metaphysical associates, teacher-students, etc. The
areas of life, they have a potential build-up towards the future
are, house ruled by Sagittarius in that natal chart and the house
occupied by the north node.
Saturn - South Node
This combination can provide wide range of interactions. Its
basic purpose is to involve a lot of experiences, good and bad in
this situation. Saturn owes the other person, either a lot of good
constructive learning experiences or might become miserable
company. Based upon their past life interaction, it provides

combination.
Uranus - South Node
Here unusual interaction is noticed that begins a,nd ends
abruptly. Uranus person feels a to display his uniqueness
to the other and he will utilize different to th.e
interest. South Node is fascinated by a different origin of,thls
relationship. Often, this interaction involves a unique
continuation of fascinating past life encounter that occured
85
very unexpectedly. Its mundane stability is not so great. Thus, a
lot of intensity and first contacts are meaningful, but it fades
away soon. This is a generational influence and social
rebellious quality of inner soul is excited in this situation.
house ruled by Aquarius in the natal chart of Uranus will be the
domineering area of focus in the relationship. The house south
node occupies will decide, if the exchange is favorable and
worthwhile. Otherwise, they just drift apart in the continuum.
Uranus - North Node
This can be quite similar to Uranus - South Node, except there
are no special past life ties associated with them. Both parties
evaluate ech other carefully and carefree decisions noticed as
the outcome. No one exerts any pressure on the other. As a
result, a light interaction is seen and it mayor may not be strong
enough both of them. Here both will maintain their own way
o.f re.latlng and may even have other stimulating
situations gOing simultaneously. This has a lot more social
contact, saying "hi, hello" type, and the deep rootedness is
missing. Their futuristic line would be, "didn't I know you
before", but I forgot. StUdy the houses ruled by Aquarius in the
chart of Uranus and the location of North Node in the other.
They will give more focus, if it is worth pursuing the relationship
or not.
Neptune - South Node
Neptune individual takes upon the responsibility to bring some
esoteric, spiritual light in the life of the other. There is a wide
variety of interchange and anticipation in this situation.
Neptune can be a rainbow to the south node, but the coffee-
break is needed anyway. The house ruled by Pisces in the natal
cha.r
t
, will truly. decide the possible flow of energies. That area
of could give excellent stimulation, imagination, fantasy,
creative leverage and general make-believe situations to the
south node. This is also a generational situation so the houses
are important in consideration. Neptune's deceit, misbehavior
and side needs to be looked at by the south node.
Otherwise, all he is is a counterfeit debt back. In any
case, general stimulating Involvement seen here.
Neptune - North Node
This is quite philosophical, esoteric and universal type of
86
interaction. Both may have common interest, goals and
stimulations in the esoteric side of life. Universal truth and their
pursuit may be done together. Just this combination does not
provide any strong link between the two identities. Souls
involved here have temporary common grounds to be together.
Long term commitments are not essential and significant. Both
support and identify each other in their goals in this life. It has
special future significance if Pisces is on the cusp of 4th, 8th, or
12 houses in the natal chart of Neptune.
Pluto - South Node
There is astrong power involved in this interaction and the areas
are denoted by the house ruled by Scorpio in one chart and the
location of south node in the other. Pluto is a rebellious, little
unworldly character, but he still keeps his word. Thus, he is
willing to keep his part of the prior bargain. If it is woman's Pluto
in the interaction, then it is quite intense, mutually stimulating
relationship. There is always some undercurrent in the situation
and both have to be aware of the practical reality. Pluto may
display a lot of jealousy to the other and as time goes on, it
becomes contagious. Past life unfulfilled Karma is determined
by the house ruled by Scorpio in one chart and the location of
south node in the other. Pluto will provide good strategy,
stamina and structured ideas to the other person.
Pluto - North Node
Quite stimulating, mutually expansive and generally optimistic
interaction seen here. Both souls would like to get to know each
other on a deeper level. However, they are instinctly aware of
the timely limitations in this framework. Thus, they involve
themselves superficially and go around several times trying to
find some deeper foundation for them together. Usually, they
will not waste much time and drift apart, if common grounds are
not found soon. Generational influence is significant here in
making certain Pluto class out of reach of the north node in this
life time for any serious interchange.
Nodal Conjunctions
It simply indicates people of the same age group or with a
difference of about 18-19 years. As a result, their togetherness
is not a major factor in synastry. The location of individual
house position will decide any potential between them. Square

or opposite houses may be hard to blend together. Trines and
sextiles through the houses might be a little easier to deal with in
this case. Basically, both souls may have similar life trajectories,
but they may not compliment each other on any desired level.
Nodal Oppositions
This can be a strong combination. Both souls know each other
from a previous life time and will continue to do so in the future.
Thus, the interaction in this life time becomes another level of
success and achievement. However, it will never be totally
fulfilled in the life time, even though they will try seriously. They
can be mutually well involved and reciprocate each other very
well. Their individual house positions need to be compared for
ease or tension in the situation.
Ascendent - South Node
Strong compatibility noticed here. Ascendent person feels like
giving all he has to the other. South node may be a little limiting
and confining to the Ascendent. In spite of this, Ascendent may
want to be total slave of the south node or be at his mercy. There
is a hidden bond which is strongly operating constantly as long
as the contact is still forming. By progression if south node
moves away, the relationship becomes easier and with carefree
independence. Basically, Ascendent wants to neutralize all his
prior debt to the south node and do it fast.
Ascendent - North Node
This is a unique interaction where third party involvement is
significant. One may be married and the other one not, or a
common individual between them suddenly comes into focus
and replaces one of them. As a result, this interaction grows out
of a third party situation. They may not have a chance to relate
by themselves, but a catalyst is needed as an external stimuli. It
could mean that one of their best friends will marry the other
person, or a triangle situation suddenly arises. In all, they are
certain to be together in the future life times again.
MC - South Node
MC person feels a great need to help south node in establishing
his career, or boosting his ego and self respect. South node may
lean on MC person whenever he feels like and can drain him
88
under pressure. There is a fatherfigure residual situation from a
previous life time. Nurturing or parenting aspect IS partially
visible here. In a political, administrative area, it is best they are
not competitors. It can be good employee - employer,
father-child, teacher-student relationship.
MC - North Node
Here MC person loses his life stability or his roots of life
shaken up by north node. This is also coming out of a past
parenting obligating situation. Being an problematl.c
parent causes this event, in this life time. However, their
interaction continues in future life times, but more on a neutral
level. Family ties or strong bind in the basic roots of life seen.
They enjoy adopting each other's life style, an?
mechanism. A family structure is almost likely In this
interaction.
Fortuna - South Node
This arabic part is significant in comparison. South node will
make sure, he gets the profit cut from the other person. Fortuna
feels honored to share his good luck with the other person. As a
matter of fact, he is more than willing to thrust upon his good
situation to the other person. Fortuna should be careful and not
let the other run his life. Due to the draining influence of south
node, it sometimes brings misfortune to the Fortuna perso.n.
Thus, both should mind their business and then share the profits
rather than trying to erect an empire together. Fortuna receives
good stimulation from the other person, and he is willing to
provide royalties for it.
Fortuna - North Node
This is not a significant contact, but they co-exist well together.
Nothing out of the ordinary occurs here. They can be
stimulating without being a liability to each other.
introductory soul situation seen here that has more futuristic
impact than in this life time.
Vertex & Nodal Axis
Quite important and significant combination. This binds the
relationship very well. However, the location of vertex house

The Aspects represent the integrating mechanisms for
the planetary energies in the chart. The energies are
often guided and controlled by the aspect involved in
their relationship. Due to unavailability of the meanings
of many minor aspects, only few significant aspects have
been dealt with by many astrologers. In this text, each
major, minor and some even unknown aspects are
studied and analyzed for their qualities. The process of
Magnification is used to derive substantial delineations
from these aspects. Thorough meanings and key words
for all aspects are included in this text. How to use these
minute aspects is described for better and easier chart
diagnoses.
A must for every student of astrology.
