Moon's Nodes in Synastry

Introduction to Lunar Nodes

Moon's Nodes in Synastry

Where the nodal axis in one nativity is in aspect to a planet or angle in the other, the strongest bonding connection is usually experienced at the South Node, with the nodal axis person being empowered over and magnetically drawing in the other, while the North Node contact evokes a mere potential for joint direction that will be brought out more if the nodal axis person has strongly integrated his or her North Node principles.

Conjunctions of the Ascendant, luminaries or personal planets to either Node, but especially the South, are the most powerfully tying synastric contacts. Trines and sextiles favour joint growth; while squares may be experienced as challenges to it with a karmic ring, and a risk of separation.

Synastric aspects between the nodal axes of two nativities will be experienced by each individual as an extension to his / her natal nodal configuration, which may be supportive of (if the aspect is harmonious) or conflicting with (if inharmonious) the personal life direction.

The house placement of one person's Nodes in the other's horoscope show (North Node) an area in which the first person will learn from the other, who will in turn be inspired in that area by the first; and (South Node) an area in which the first person will teach the other.

Nodal Houses

An equal-house figure cast with the North Node serving as an ascendant is called the Moon-Node Horoscope, and indicates, by the house placement of the planets therein, the areas of subjective, subconscious, emotional manifestation of energies in the individual life.

Conversely, an equal-house figure cast with the South Node as ascendant is known as the Nodal Chart and serves as a tool for medical astrology, indicating by its houses areas of the body, with the first six houses describing the right side of the body from head to foot, and the latter six the left side from foot to head, while bodily influences are judged by the planets tenanting each nodal house. This topic will be covered in depth in a future article on Medical Astrology.
