Thanks for the explanation, Julia.

No lines are shown on the chart provided, natal Moon conjuncts the S.Node.
Most charts are not set up to make a karmic reading easy.
Astro.com is now allowing you to choose options that show the SN in the chart and the aspects to the Nodal axis and Chiron. But most people don’t select those options, so you have to work at things a bit to unpack the chart in karmic fashion.
Yes, natal Moon conjuncts the SN. Both are 12 house, the karmic debt house.
The Nodal axis is Pisces/Virgo, 6/12. And it is a reversed nodal axis, when the sign of the Nodes fall in the house opposite to its natural home.
So you can see quite a bit of information and complexity in this nodal axis.
The Moon represents our deepest instincts, feelings, deeply ingrained past life patterns.
The SN represents past life soul goals and purpose. This is a soul with deeply entrenched Virgo energy and it may be pulled back into past life feelings and patterns. This is soul hoping to re-work the past for the purpose of integration and resolution, but must take care not to fall into the negative traits of Virgo. The good of Virgo must be harnessed for soul purpose.
There is a not quite 6* orb between Moon and Chiron. That would be taken as a definite inconjunct aspect?
Yes this would be a definite inconjunct. I tend to use 8 degrees for major aspects, some karmic astrologers would go as wide as 12 degrees. I do go that wide when looking at synastry charts and natal nodes, etc.
Isabel Hickey, I referenced her in an earlier post, gives a great way to think of orbs.
Picture a very hot stove in a room. If you are close to the stove, you will feel the heat, and as you walk away from the stove, the heat is not felt as much. So an exact aspect would be like sitting on top of the stove, and the wider aspects would be more like walking away from the stove.
Chiron represents a deep karmic wound which can be healed in this life. The Moon represents emotions and or mothering issues.
What kind of wound are we looking at with an Aries Chiron in 7 h? Quite clear. This chart played with us a bit, with all the reversals and flip flops, a sign of an intermediate to advanced soul. Other markers reinforce this statement as well.
There is also a 6* orb between Uranus and N. Node. Would this also be considered an inconjunct aspect?
Yes it is inconjunct. Can you think what this might mean? The NN indicates soul purpose in this life. Uranus represents chaos, change, transformation, originality etc.
natal Chiron-Uranus opposition would seem particularly effective in itself.
Yes, you can see a theme of Uranus energy involved with soul purpose and karmic wound.
And note the small lineup of planets Moon/Pluto/Uranus.
BTW there is a wide Pluto/Moon conjunct, usually quite rare in the general population, but not uncommon in the charts posted on this forum. Martin Schulman, noted karmic astrologist and Nodal expert, says that this placement always indicates a direct clairvoyant.
this not be found in the use of progressions and solar arc directions and/or transit influences that are seen as periods of development towards personal growth? Through progression the O.P's Sun will have aspected all planets in the chart. From mental calculation (depending upon daily motion) it will have reached 'the crossroads' of the nodal axis and natal Moon. This could account for the current query regarding (any) life influences, couldn't it?
I generally do not use progressions in my karmic work. However yes the progressed chart would reveal new energy and new karmic lessons. Can you make more comment on what the progressed chart indicates in terms of the nodal axis?
Pluto is very much associated with understanding 'the why' of everything. Destiny, fate, evolving, rather than karma? It can often provide the nail on the head answers in Virgo; a sort of microscopic lab. experiment that analyses the details for proof (or not)of fact? Maybe that's the significance of the Sun-Neptune, Sun-Pluto aspects; YOD or not?
In karmic astrology, the contents of the entire chart are karmic in nature. In KA, Pluto is very heavy, deeply intense energy representing the deepest and darkest of the human psyche. I have found the Greek mythology surrounding the planets to be quite helpful in understanding astrology symbolism. Pluto captured the innocent and naive Persephone and took her to the darkest of places, Hades. This trauma triggers her own personal power and she emerges as the Queen of the Underworld. So the notion of healing and power emerging from personal darkness. Birth and Rebirth.
Very true. My own passion has always been veered towards understanding what makes people tick in such a way that it results in the suffering that can develop into physical complaints.
You might be interested in karmic astrology as related to health and disease. Often times there is a past life connection to a person’s health in this life. The 6h is quite important in this respect.
You are doing a very good job with karmic placements.
