THE LUNAR NODES
The Lunar Nodes are not actually considered planets but rather are perceived as sensitive points in the Natal Chart. Their usage is of great antiquity and essentially they represent the points of the Moons crossing of the apparent path of the Sun as seen from the Earth (called the “ecliptic”). Their traditional meanings in your Natal Chart are explained below. Since, from the point of view of this method, the Nodes are not planets and find their strongest expression in the Houses, the Signs are not included below.
