Boomers & The North Node

[MamaMinnee]

The transiting South Node has conjuncted some of your natal generational placements of Uranus, Saturn and Pluto, resulting in a collective/eleventh-house, karmic drain regarding tenth and eighth house matters. Some have lost their financial nest egg, while others are delaying retirement and continuing to work. And, the South Node is on it's way to the August 1, 2008 eclipse degree, which will most likely result in additional fallout.

Alternately, what type of independence, freedom, sense of community, etc... has been ushered in with the opposing transiting North Node in Aquarius? How are you now liberated?

Good work on this MamaMinnee... you've seen this as well. Very good. This had been coming for a long time, but many failed to take note, nor to prepare for the downturn in finances causes by rampant speculation, financial corruption and excess spending.

The transiting Dragon's Tail in Leo sweeping across the Boomer generation's Leo positions will open up into other planetary transits between 2009 to 2014, whenSaturn's transit in Scorpio (2012-2014) squares these Leo positions of this particular generation. There is a lot of loss that stems directly from failure to prepare for the future. And now, the future is nearly here...

Born in 59...the trailing end of the bablyboomer generation, I find it interesting that an event such as the n/s node would collectively affect certain houses...in my chart specifically the north/south node only hits on Uranus at 13 degrees in the 5th thus that 11/5 axis has been awakened. Saturn and pluto will follow in the next year and the north node will apex on my 2009/2010 solar return MC at 0 degrees which I found fairly alarming and maybe indicative of what you were indicating.

Hi Cassandra! Since the outer planets are considered generational, affecting an entire generation--in this case, Boomers--we can assume that these aspects are affecting all of you at various times. Uranus is the natural eleventh house ruler--the collective; Saturn is the natural tenth house ruler--career/status, as well as the eleventh house co-ruler; and Pluto is the eighth house co-ruler--investments/money (along with Mars), so in general, we can anticipate these areas and interests will be activated, for some more personally than others.

From your other post, aren't you going into the office for your career now? How would that liberate you or give you more freedom?

[cassanra]

I think I said that wrong. The south node is currently conjunct my natal uranus in leo. Do you think that that would allow more freedom? I wonder...
right now I have a lot of freedom but if they allowed us to work from home with the use of computers that would free me/ us (uranus-electronic), maybe more opportunities as there does not feel like any now and more money I have more freedom than others and it seems like freedoms keep disappearig.

Very interesting thread Mamaminny and I must admit that I did not look for this particular South Node transit as I still , after so many years, have yet to come to terms with the real meaning of the Nodes (and other "points" in astrology actually). Especially with the Nodes there seems to be a big guessing game going on regarding their influence.

After reading Nexus's article about the Nodes and looking at different links etc. I have not seen mentioning of this what you are describing as actually something definitively unpleasant happening to the Boomer generation or any other unpleasant happening when South Node transits a generational planet only, that the Nodes used to be described as good versus bad.

In fact, some theories even show a positive side to the South Node. I wonder how that then would work out.

I have Pluto at 11° Leo, Saturn at 2° Leo, so they have been harrassed by the transit of the South Node and will be again. Saturn will get the conjunction again next year May, just after my birthday. It rules my modern 3rd house, my traditional 4th house. At 2° both will square my Mercury, ruler of my 8th house and 11th. Much llater South Node will conjunct my MC at 21° Leo.

I wonder if this means that I will be confronted with death in my family and eventually to myself as Pluto rules my Ascendant modernly speaking.
Pluto squares, my Moon and Sun also, which makes things even more attractive LOL!! So far, absolutely nothing has happened to me which was dreadful or sad and South Node has been up there in Leo quite a while already. Does it maybe need a few retro's and foreward motions to be felt?
Uranus is in my 4th house and exactly squares my natal Uranus. Only thing I do feel here is that I wanted to change house. I resolved this by changing the furniture placements in my home in order to avoid major havoc to my partner who really never wants to leave here anymore. I am at peace again after this

whenSaturn's transit in Scorpio (2012-2014) squares these Leo positions

and this will make it even more juicy as I have Chiron (4°) and Moon (17°) in Scorpio opposite Sun (14°) in Taurus.

and Pluto is the eighth house co-ruler--investments/money

and death not to forget!!

Oh well, we can speculate until we are blue in the face, but I think that South Node alone will not cause all the distress. There should be more going on transit wise. Jupiter and Pluto transiting my 2nd house do make nice sextile and trine to my Moon and Sun but square Venus and Mars (the rulers of the Sun and the Moon). Another puzzle. How to figure this one out?
I have often great difficulty figuring my own chart out so I just wait and see.

Cheers, Starlink

With roots based on the South Node transits, it appears that the opposing transiting North Node in Aquarius has used an internet site, AW/Aquarius, to foster community, while freely expressing independence of thought/Aquarius. Through this medium, people of all ages and walks of life are connecting on various levels, where we may not have otherwise. Kingsley and Theo's back and forth are a great example. The roots, based in the arguably draining past, managed to bring about a new positive understanding, crossing generational lines. I really like how this came together!

Can I get some more positive North Node?

An example update: this Boomer Leo has the South Node, which is currently stationed at the August 1, 2008 eclipse degree, on her Sun/Saturn/Pluto midpoint.... she {center of her universe} is having back {Saturn} surgery {Pluto}, which will supposedly give her more physical freedom in the future, Aquarius. In the interim healing period, she will be dependent on friends, Aquarius, as she lives far from family.

Anyone else?
