Introduction

There is a part of the chart that I have focused on in my practice for—well, this part of the chart I’ve focused on since 2011. I’ve been an astrologer since 1993.

This came in a little bit later in my understanding of astrology, but it added depth and richness to my understanding. It was the thing that turned on the light bulb for me to see why we do this. Why is it empowering? How is astrology helping a person to see how to approach what is challenging them? What is in front of them? What decisions do they need to make?

The Lunar Nodes are this part, and they reveal where you come from and they reveal what is your evolutionary medicine.

In other words, what are the ways of being? See, not choices, not what is the decision you should make, but the ways of being for yourself that are going to help you, are going to facilitate, accelerate, help you step into your full potential to learning the lessons that you’re here to learn as a soul.

And in terms of thinking about your soul purpose, right? What do you feel inside? What brings up a feeling of passion, a feeling of calling, a feeling of something meaningful to you, regardless of whether or not it looks successful from outside measurements, right?

Whether or not you’re making money, whether or not you have that perfect family, whether or not you live in the perfect home in the perfect place, it speaks to what makes you feel fulfilled as a person, as a soul who has embodied as a person.

We all have that. We all have that sense of purpose inside of us, of like, "Why am I here, really? What am I here to do? What kind of impact am I here to make and how can I make that impact and how can I live my life in a way that feels meaningful to me?"

This might be on a spiritual level, but it’s very practical. It’s very much like: How do you do that? What does that look like?

And there are lots of ways we can understand. It turns out there are lots of ways we can understand how to step into, or respond to, or support ourselves to unfold that bigger picture of purpose.

What are the Lunar Nodes?

The Lunar Nodes are two points in the sky. They’re not things you can see, but they are points where the moon’s orbit around the earth crosses the plane of the earth’s orbit around the sun.

Those points where the moon crosses that plane are called the nodes. They are called the Lunar Nodes because that has to do with the moon’s orbit.

Interestingly enough, for whatever reason, those Lunar Nodes speak to this deeper path of not just how we’re made up, not just what our personality is, but how to live, how to fulfill that soul’s purpose.

Now, we do not have to fulfill that soul’s purpose. It’s optional. It is what perhaps might make us feel like we are living a life of meaning and purpose.

We can opt out of that. We certainly can survive without having that meaning, that sense of meaning, that feeling of having done what we’re here to do. We can survive from birth to death, right, without ever doing that.

What the Lunar Nodes say is, do you want to do more than just survive? Do you want to take it up a notch and live that life that feels meaningful to your soul? That makes you feel like at the end of your life you did what you came here to do? The Lunar Nodes help us do that.

The South Lunar Node: Your Karmic Past

The South Node tells us where you come from. The South Node speaks to the karmic past, which we can call past lives, and many people do call past lives.

Whether you believe in a past life or not… I always encourage people: Don’t get hung up on whether or not you believe in past lives, because it doesn’t matter. Ultimately what it speaks to is how you are wired when you come into this life.

We can use past life as a metaphor if you wish, a story that helps you understand why you are the way you are, where you come from, and your survival mechanisms.

Survival is not a bad thing. Survival is a good thing. We want to appreciate that South Node because it is what helped us survive in the past. And it’s what we’re good at, it’s where we’re strong, it’s what we know how to do, it’s how we know how to survive.

Those old patterns will, can and will, kick in when we feel frightened, when we feel under stress, when we need to survive. It is good to have that pattern, that default wiring to lean back on when we need to survive, because it helps us survive.

The North Lunar Node: Your Evolutionary Medicine

The North Node is about the future. It is our evolutionary medicine.

The North Node is—it's like our instructions. It says if you want to go beyond survival mode, if you want to thrive, if you want to feel like you are living that life of meaning and purpose, if you want to feel like you did what you came here to do, the North Node gives you your instructions. The north Lunar Node, your evolutionary medicine.

When you look at your north Lunar Node—and I’m going to talk about what that can look like and how to find your Lunar Nodes—but the North Node is the energy that when you embody it, when you step into it, when you embrace it, it’s going to be outside of your comfort zone.

It’s not your default. It is not what you are comfortable with, or familiar with, or know how to do. It’s unfamiliar, but it is your evolutionary instructions and it will give you that path forward. How you do your north Lunar Node is you do it in baby steps.

Where Are Your Lunar Nodes?

Now I’m going to talk to you about how to find your Lunar Nodes.

Everybody has a South Node and a North Node. They are always exactly opposite.

Remember, this is totally different from your sun sign, your moon sign. It’s not a planet. It is a part of your chart, though. You have it from birth and it stays with you your entire life.

The Lunar Nodes stay in a sign for about two and a half years. You’re going to be—you know, if you’re born with people around the same time, they’ll have the same Lunar Nodes, at least in terms of zodiac signs, as you.

When we look at what sign is your South Node, we can understand some about what is that past life story—real or metaphor, it doesn’t matter.

How can you understand your comfort zone? What is your default? What are you good at? What does it look like when you are in survival mode?

From there, understanding your north Lunar Node, which is your evolutionary medicine. What is the set of instructions for you personally that are going to help you move in that direction of feeling like you have fulfilled your soul’s purpose? Have that sense of meaning, have that feeling of having done something that is meaningful, that is, like, it’s why you’re here.

It’s the bigger soul perspective and it is about how to do that on a very practical level. It’s not going to say, "How do I get that love interest to be interested in me?" or "How do I get that job that I want?"

What it is going to say—and it actually does speak to those things—but what it is going to say is, here is how you need to think about your way of being, how you should talk to yourself, how you should live your life, how you should treat yourself, and what is going to be the most beneficial for you to help you understand, to, well, to support you.

Because when you do those things, things will work out better for you. Things will fall into line more effectively with everything in your life.

Again, it’s not about love. It’s not about money. It’s not about career. It is about you. It is about who you need to be to accomplish those things.

Lunar Nodes in The Houses and More

Your Lunar Nodes can be in a house. That will come back to the area of life—career, relationship, family, self-expression, all those things. But that changes for every two hours. it’s not—you’re going to vary, even someone who was born on the same day as you could have a very different house for your Lunar Nodes.

Understanding your Lunar Nodes in your chart. Other factors include planets. Planets that are either conjunct or opposite your south Lunar Node or conjunct or opposite your north Lunar Node, which is the same—they’re opposite each other—or in a square to the Lunar Nodes, 90 degrees.

Any of those are going to have impact or fill in the story, give you more detail to help you understand your survival mechanisms as well as your evolutionary medicine. What’s going to help you move forward? Planets' aspects as well as the ruler of the South Node sign.

If your South Node is in Taurus, the ruler will be Venus. What’s going on with Venus in your chart is also a factor.

The Evolutionary Journey

Some people will have moved more into North Node than others. But I can guarantee you that all of us have that humility. Okay? Because all of us have something more to learn.

That North Node is going to be like a fountain. It continually gives us a path of insight, a path of awareness, of healing, of new possibilities just by knowing your Lunar Node pair.

Your South Node, North Node—they’re always opposite that combination. They’re going to be Aries-Libra, Taurus-Scorpio, Gemini-Sagittarius, etc.

When you know what is the South Node, what is the North Node, you get a baseline of a person. I see with Taurus South Node people, I see similar patterns—not the same, right? We’re individuals and how we respond is different. But I definitely see patterns that are consistent with South Node Taurus people, South Node Gemini people, South Node Libra people.

All of the South Node signs—there are twelve signs. There are twelve possibilities. All of them have patterns that resonate.

I have thought for a long time it would be really, really fun to get together with people of a certain South Node sign and compare notes, and talk about what it’s like to live this path with a South Node in Virgo, a South Node in Capricorn, whatever it may be, a South Node in Aquarius.

There is much depth that can be mined, related to how we move forward, how we do these things, because anywhere in your life that you feel challenged, frustrated, stressed, worried, fearful—anything in your life that makes you feel that way is an invitation to healing, because we can transform those things into their opposite.

The opposite of fear would be what? The opposite of fear could be peace. The opposite of worry would be joy. The opposite of anxiety might be happiness. If we can experience one thing, we can experience its opposite.

This Lunar Node pair is about how you cultivate that experience of those positive qualities and how you do that for yourself.

Next, you can find out your Lunar Node pair—and I’ve got a handout that will show you by your date of birth. I’ve got a chart where you can look that up and that will be included in the handouts for this video.

How to Learn More About Your Lunar Nodes

Once you do that, I’m going to be creating a video for each South Node sign to dive deeper, to understand your soul’s path, your way forward, what that looks like for you, how to embrace the baby steps of your evolutionary medicine, what you have to learn, and how to transform those negative experiences into their opposites.

For each Lunar Node sign, there will be another deep dive into understanding and how to work with that energy based on these patterns that I’ve been working with for fourteen years.

I feel very confident. I’ve worked with many, many people with the different South Node signs and people who are doing the work—like you probably are, right? People who want to heal, people who want to work on themselves, people who want to live their life’s purpose, people who want to feel that experience of meaning.

Many of us get stuck, whether that is depression or self-sabotage or inertia or whatever it may be, feeling overwhelmed by what’s going on in the world. It can show up in a lot of different ways and there are a lot of different ways through that—and I’m going to tell you how to do it for your Lunar Node pair.

Those videos will not be free. There will be a charge. You get a discount if you are a paid member for the Astrology Heals member program.
