Nodes of the Moon domicile in Western Astrology.
I remember in a thread that some people were asking why Scorpio is the domicile of North Node.
( The discusion disappeared, but I still want to talk about it )
In Western astrology North Node has domicile affinity to Scorpio, while South Node at Taurus. Note to say that in vedic tradition, North Node is called Rahu and has it's domicile in Gemeni, while South Node is called Ketu and has it's domicile in Sagittaurius, but there are several factors that western tradition is very different from vedic. Vedic astrology uses different mythology, houses systems, zodiac system ( sidereal, mostly 23* degrees sidereal mode correction ) etc. Since western is different from vedic, that does not mean it's incorect, it's just a different perspective.
Now.. why western astrologers chosee Scorpio for NN? many wonder, but here is a good explination to it, in a ezoteric way.
Chakras have the best explination to it, there are 7 of them:

To see it astrological, astrologers use nodes to find what planets that influence a certain chakra. South Node is Muladhara or the root chakra or the base chakra or chakra one, it reprezents the physic plane, earth, instincts, material security, survival, body etc. North Node is Sahasrara or the crown chakra or chakra seven which reprezents wisdom, understanding, spiritual connections, lore etc.
Chakra seven or Sahasrara is said to reprezent the constellation Scorpio, so it's highly logical that North Node to have Scorpio as domicile.
Scorpio has 3 animal forms:
The First is the scorpion, this creature has strong survival instincts, that always lives in deserts, dens, pits, dark places.
The Second is the snake, much wiser than the scorpion, but still it's crawling on the earth having strong instincts.
The Third is the eagle, the most wise of all Scorpio forms, it's not crawling anymore, it flies and can see all whit it's eagle eye, is not as instinctual as before, not depending on the earth since it can fly.
These animals have powerfull symbolism. Scorpio needs to evolve and always transform, fight against it's own impulses, instincts, vindicative nature to become more wise, more intelectual. To become the snake and even the eagle a scorpio has to take many spiritual experiences, which are not so easy, but worth it. In ezoteric astrology, these 3 forms on animals are reprezented by the planets. The traditional ruler of Scorpio is Mars/Pluto ( Scorpion ), the ezoteric ruler is Mars ( Snake ) and the hierarchical ruler is Mercury ( Eagle ).
Since North Node reprezents the path in life we must take for a evolutionary growth, while South Node reprezents our karmical experience and past, but with little growth. Whit the explination above we can now tell easily why North Node has domicile affinity to Scorpio and South Node in Taurus.
Astrologyweekly has the chakra system in a astrological perspective, but without Sahasrara, cause it's right the place where Node North is.
