The Nodes are the points where the Moon's orbit intersect the plane of the ecliptic. They are always 180 degrees apart and refer to the North and South nodes. They are purely mathmatical and do not refer to any planetary body.
In Astrology, the North Node refers to the direction that offers the most growth. While this direction is the most intimidating, it is also the direction with the most possibility for growth and learning.
The South Node refers to the direction that offers the least amount of growth. This is the direction from which you have already learned many lessons and may have picked up too much karma. This is the direction that should be avoided, as while it is most comfortable, it offers the least possibility of growth.
o i remember now,pluto said something like the north node is what you should strive to become like in this life. it is your lifetime goal to acquire that sign's qualities.
your goal is to aquire the good virtues of a sign>>for cancer>>maybe you should become more in tune with your emotions"--- I don't wanna!!!... I like my nonchalant ways that drive people nuts b/c they can't get the emotional satisfaction they need... I refuse to express my self emotionally I must remain cold and detatched.... then again... won't that be my downfall... maybe I should rethink this....
I personally do not believe in astrology. But, even if you do believe in this, before relying on the nodes to provide any information or direction, ask yourself what works for you.
I feel that the intention with the nodes is more than anything, direction. Most people need direction. Direction is an anchor and a way to approach your life.
If the nodes seem to work for you and have helped you to consider some new and different options in your life, great. But, I wouldn't put any stock on them in dictating how you should approach your life. If you want to consider the nodes as a direction to live, if you find some directions within them that can help you to figure out what you want to do, great.
But, bare in mind that even in Astrology, they are simply guides. What works for you is what really matters.
Very Interesting! If the north node and true node are the same thing, then I am swimming into the fish world! Haha! My chart however does not have a south node. So does that mean I do not have a past life or bad karma? I suppose not having any bad karma would be a GOOD thing!!!
a fish......why me?.....well, I hope I taste good to somebody, the most a fish can do is piss in your eye, (trust me, I learned this lesson in 9th, grade biology when I cut it open: ever since that day, I've been at odds with the fishes....lol)
I identify more with Scorpio, and Aquarius....the whole idea behind Virgo it seems is to 'dummy down' and 'play weakling' I want to be apart of something that dosen't 'inhibit' the personality from pursuing all that it is, will, or can be. There just dosen't seem to be any real strength based off OTHER people's interpretations. Luckily for the Virgo, I know it's all fake.
LWV:What are the good characteristics of the fish?
Wishy-washy, escapist, irratic, self-deceptive, ect....or did you want the BAD news first? lol
Naw, Romantic, Dreamy, Creative, Emotional, Imaginative..(imaginations big with them but I say it's a Virgo thing all the way! lol) They're pretty cool as long as they know how to 'stick to it'.
