What does it mean to have Asc node in Gemini?

Hello All,
Just trying to understand my chart, it says here that my asc node is gemini but i don't think this has anything to do with my north and south node. Apparently as my south node is in aries my north node is in libra. What is an asc node and what exactly does it affect?
Also if anyone can help, my sun sign is taurus, ascendant, cancer, venus in aries, moon in capricorn, mars in scorpio. Finding myself attracted to fire or air signs but not really earth. Does this mean I will always find myself in tricky relationships?
Any info would be appreciated!
OMG,
Just read this info about my SN in Aries and it's horribly true:
The South Node in Aries is a preoccupation with independence or dominance, resulting in loneliness that often seems impossible to erase, no matter how many relationships the natives get into and out of, or even stay in. There is a fear of exposing weakness and they push people away, only to find themselves wanting to be with them again. They want companionship but they undermine the commitment habitually. There is too much preoccupation with the self.
Me-ism. The problem with SN Aries is the reflection of themselves they see everywhere. Always about Me. But they've seen enough. They know themselves. And they know it's time to curtail this self-absorption and look at others as they appear and not as mirrors, or verifications of their own identities. They often come back to this lonely look at the self, unfulfilled. Even when they act like they are fascinated with the other, deep down they often are still looking at the Me. People sense it and separations result, sending the SN back to isolation.
The Exit. The SN Aries comes in, often bounding, but keeps a steady eye on the exit sign. Their independence is threatened by the indication of real relationship and the entrapment is the horror. Racing ahead too fast, and leaving them in the dust can also be a practice of this nodeholder.
Deep down they know they are kind and lovable, but often they end up appearing otherwise, or are on the receiving end of otherwise, to assure the escape back to the self. One foot already out the door when the shoe drops.
That's really sad, but unbelievably true. So I figure all this stuff out in my 30's?
but what is the asc node? it's not the ascendant right? so what is it?
Anyone with SN in Aries but also be interested in this link about the NN in Libra, much more uplifting!
