Lunar Node Opposition Sun

[CactusLand]

Hi,

I have been investigating what the effects of this opposition might be, and I am still a bit confused. I understand the North/South dynamic as far as what we are accustomed to, our comfort zone (South Node) and what we need to learn (North Node). But what is the meaning of this opposition?

Interesting how it occurs 9 years of age, 27, 45 (my case) and 63..

Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Cactusland

There are different ways of interpret the nodes depending on which wiewpoint one choose to have.

1.There is the node meaning of contacts and associations (Ebertin style).
In terms of node/Sun would give associations with men or authorities
during it's transits.

2.Then there is the south node as indicator of past issues which could mean
some issues with past matters such as heredity or roots family.

3.Old texts and vedic astrology see south node as challenging influence. But can be spiritual and esoteric.

4. Nodes as indicator of path and purpose.


I have found relevance in more than one way of interpret the node but lean on the vedic interpretation of south node as a decreasing factor which tends to mess up a bit and make things uncertain.

In terms of the Sun which symbolise authority and identity it's transit is in
my wiew decreasing confidence and certainty about oneself in some way.
Also can be a spiritual influence being more interested in esoteric or spiritual creative immaterial stuff.

There can be contacts with more men and authorities.

There can be issues about choices about path to take.

Best regards

Stefan

(Synchronistically I realize that the transiting Sun is exactly to the degree transiting my own S.node ow while commenting on this planetary pair)

Thanks Shaniti... I have noticed a very big interest in all things occult starting from this summer.. very intense, so that makes a lot of sense.

This transit also brings the south lunar node in conjunction with your Sun. The nodes are points of fate, and the solar and lunar eclipses fall on these points at various times of the year, which brings a focus onto the areas of your chart which they touch.

At the moment, there would be a focus on the 12th/6th house areas, work, health, your daily routine, privacy, meditation, dreams, unconscious areas of your life may be brought to your awareness. The transit of the Nodes, I have found, bring a need to balance these areas in your life somehow.

Last November, there was a solar eclipse in your 6th house, bringing focus on work, jobs, health and/or money or self worth, as it was opposite your natal Moon. It may make you aware of habits that you have, or the home or your feeling of inner securit (lunar ruled).

The nodes travel apparently backwards, in the opposite direction to the planets.

The fact that the nodal transits show were eclipses are falling during the year is an important point made by Neptune rising.

It is also I think of some importance that the south node sometimes have
an tendency of release or letting go. So sometimes one have to let go of
something during it's transit.

Very interesting, and in my 6th house, with Neptune in there... I think it is very clear, and the good news is, it has taken the correct turn about a month ago...

Thanks both you..

If you are referring to your North node then it doesnt oppose your Sun. Transitting nodes are not relevant and belong to the person born on that day.. We look at the aspects to our North Node rather than the South. I use only tight conjunctions and maybe oppositions. Others may differ in their opinions.

If a transit hits your natal north node and there is that echo already there in your birth chart, then it tends to influence you to take your future path rather than trying to live in the past familiar conditions which ultimately prove unsatisfactory.

I think that the transits of the nodes are highly significant in astrology.
If one look for them empirically and not by faith or belief.

Empirical astrologers tend to use the transits of them I've noticed.
I know a rectification expert who is known as one of the best, who have done thousands of rectifications... always taking the transiting nodes into consideration.

Here is a link of one well known astrologer who wrote a book on them...

Many times have I noticed that in surgery the south node was exactly on the degree of the ascendent (body) for example.

If one inserting them in the chart and with an openminded wiew look at important events in the life, and I'm convinced that most people would find these transits are as important as any outer planet transit, but shorter in duration due to its not Rx back and forward over an astrological point.

As in mundane astrology the nodes are highly important in transits. They are sometimes overlooked in natal astrology which is a mistake really.
For example look at the chart of terrorist atacks and wars and such and so strikingly often a Mars/node connection is there in mundane transit or progressed chart.
(9/11 event, norway shooting, london bombing just to name some events..)

This is a discussion in this matter as well on this forum:

(I also concurr with DR Farr here about the south nodes common importance in medical astrology.)
