5. Sharing vs. Seeking Orientation
Bernice Grebner puts forward the suggestion that personal knowledge indicated by the placement of the South Node should be shared with and taught to many people and in many areas, while the North Node indicates a direction from which the individual must absorb, and seek knowledge thus far personally unknown. The South Node sharing imperative registers subjectively as though a karmic debt to pay, obliging one to give and help others, and thus has Saturnian resonances, but not in an unpleasantly restrictive or malefic vein. The qualities represented by the sign and house placement of the South Node are ones that the individual has instinctively mastered, and which therefore serve as a strong pooled resource of understanding to be graciously distributed to all those who would benefit from learning.
Once this debt has been paid through sustained discipline over a duration of time, the way is opened to the adoption of an absorptive, receiving orientation with regard to the lessons of the North Node. Finally, when the individual has mastered these lessons, it becomes possible and philanthropically desirable to give and share them too.
Aspects to Moon's Nodes
Aspects to the nodal axis, both natally and by transit and progression, show the manner in which the development towards the North Node goals will be worked out. Conjunctions to the North Node induce forced growth; while those to the South Node encourage conditioned responses. Squares accentuate the conflict of interest between the nodes, and pull the individual towards the sign and house placement of the squared planet. Quincunxes to the North Node show a misperceieved notion of the means to attain growth. Semisextiles bring pressure to grow, while semisquares and sesquisquares show tension in relation to growth. Sextiles bring opportunities for constructive growth, while trines bring easy growth.
