I dont really know if there even is karmic interpritations for the nodes although the majority of what I read says that there is, but yes I think it has karmic meaning.
I have the "Idiots guild to astrology" by Madeline Gerwick-Brodeur and Lisa Lenard that I signed out from the library, and it has a simple interpritation of the nodes that I think is accurate.
Your south node indicates lessons and talents that you have already mastered, what could be percived as the easy way out, and the majority of your past lives, and because you have already mastered the lessons there is no challenge or growth when you continue to use them (I think this is in general you can probably still learn somethings from it but it would be very easy for you). The easiness of the SN is the universes way of telling you to develop and work on your NN.
Your NN is the lessons that you are here to learn and is the "hard way" as opposed to the SN being the "easy way", but it is worth the effort. Your NN is your development path, your future and your greatest opprotunity for growth, fulfillment, increased confidence, and rewards for your efforts.
Now, I am going to quote what I said on another thread about the NN in the 12th:
What you need to understand is that NN in the 12th means that you need to understand that the universe is all around you but it is also within you, and since it is in capricorn that means that your NN has to understand responsibility and achievement. So, what you could take from this is that mabie karmically you could be some kind of spiritual leader. Lead by example.
One book you can read is called "The Power of Now" by Eckhart Tolle, this will help you understand somewhat at least what he considered spiritual enlightenment. It is a good book thought, one thing you should understand is part of the natural opposition between the 12th house and the 6th is that teh 12th house is called the connection to the "source" of creation and all the bliss and joy therein. However, you have to be present in the "now" (the 6th house) in order to experience this. So, in order to be in the "now" you have to sort of be present in the moment because eckhart explains that the egotistical mind lives in the past or the future, as in some kind of negative past event that people draw their identity from and use it as an excuse to not grow or "evolve" per se in a spiritual or emotional sense. Or in the future because some people will say that they will start to enjoy life when they graduate, then find a job, then after their kids leave home, then finally when they retire at age 55 or later, and they will put their own happiness on hold until these goal are met. Obviously someone like this might need to learn that you can be happy now! Eckhart gives ways of becoming more in tune with the now via some meditational techniques, one is surrendering which means to stop resisting your feelings and let them flow through you and the other is to create mental stillness in your mind. If you do this your state of presentness will dissolve whatever sence of identity you have with the past or future, and allow you to feel the bliss and joy of the 12th house.
Now, lets look at the tarot card The Hanged Man. The hanged man is suspended and giving up something to gain something greater. What he is doing is abandoning his own self-importance and no longer relying on his own wit or cleverness or egotistical deires to try to get ahead of others (the idea of separateness comes into play here because part of the 12th house is to realise that we are all connected by the source, and alot of people think that in order to get good things in life you have to get them at someone elses expense). The hanged man is the neptune card of the deck(the book here "Easy Tarot Guild" by Marcia Maniso says that some of the major arcana represent either a sign or a planet)and what it does is it breaks down the traditional ego-derived goals to allow us to find what is important in our lives. People who refuse to "let go and let god" often stay stuck here with the same old goals that are based on ego, materialism, pride, or selfishness. These "hang-ups" will prevent someone from seeing any viewpoint except their own and prevent progress and growth.
You should also watch the DVD The Secret, it will explain how your thought and feelings on both a concious and unconcious level will draw things and circumstances to you. It is worth looking into.
All these things discuss the 12th house so it is important, as for past life stuff the sign and planets in the 12th house show the most recent past life and what kind of subconcious patters have come from it. Since you have no planets in the 12th you have to look at the ruler which is saturn.
