Just a few musings in general and a bit of reiteration.
The nodal axis works as a main spring for the other planets. it is not a symbol but a process of manifestation . It’s transits bring the force of the planets to bear. So as I see many people on the forum asking question about what the node does to them , or how they can use the node or what affect their depositor has etc. I see that the true nature of the node is still not being comprehended by many. One should not ask others or read books to learn what is happening to them, but one should check the transits to one’s natal planets. Search your own life experiences to understand the node. As I have said before the true nature and value of the node is censored. One is never going to find a published work that give the real functional value of the nodes. About all you will get from published works is philosophy and astro babbble.the nodes are the core of astrology and as with all sciences, the vested interested do not want the true nature revealed.
If one has a question about what a symbol means in their chart, simply look for when the nodal axis transits by conjunction or square to the symbol in question. On will learn more about the node from these observations than any book one could read.
Over the years I have noted a change in the affect of certain patterns of harmonics and the transiting node.In relationship to stock market movements, quintile ,deciles,20th harmonics ,squares(and to a lesser degree,semisquares) to uranus,jupiter,Saturn,Chiron,and Pluto, in addition to their midpoints were often associated with a rise in the DOW.
Septile patterns to these planets and Neptune often correlated to a drop in the DOW.
Certain commodities also followed this pattern.
Uranus was especially effective as the aspects for rise and fall as Uranus always manifested these trends.
But in the last few years, I have noted that the rise and falls correlated to these aspects occur before the aspects come into orb. So when the time came that one would place an order, the predicted movement had already occurred.
I attribute this to the total manipulation of the stock market today. recently I read an article that showed moments before a huge swing occurred in the market, computer trading had already kicked in. so it is clear that the common investor no longer has any chance to trade speculatively in the market. computer trading is now up to 80% of the market share and the individual can simply not tradwe fas enough to take advantage of these artificial swings in value
