Aspects of the nodes to the outer planets in the natal chart

An outer planet in conjunction with one of the Moon's nodes takes on special significance. This reinforces the importance of this particular outer planet throughout a person's life. Like the conjunction of the inner planet with the Moon Node, which we discussed in the previous chapter, the outer planet in conjunction with the North Node indicates those qualities that should be consciously developed throughout the current incarnation. A person can feel like something is forcing him to develop qualities that are correlated with this planet. A planet in conjunction with the North Node is associated with opportunities and great potential.

The planet next to the South Node indicates qualities developed in past incarnations. These qualities are habitual, and in order to use them, only minor efforts are required from a person. In this scenario, a person brings with him into this life what needs to be improved. The talents associated with this planet can be further developed or used to a greater extent, more positively and consciously. Sometimes a planet in conjunction with the South Node symbolizes working through the failures of the past associated with that planet, or indicates that it takes several lifetimes to learn the lessons symbolized by this planet.

If the planets are present on both poles of the axis of nodes, then the lessons of the past have been prepared for the person, which must be worked out, as well as lures that will require effort and successful completion of the mission. This is a kind of crossroads on the path of the evolution of the soul, which guarantees a rich life. In this life, a person gets a chance to achieve both material and spiritual progress. The North Node favors material wealth and position in worldly life, while the South Node promotes spiritual achievement.

Speaking of these compounds, one should take a fairly large orb, up to seven degrees or more. However, in this book, when giving examples of specific people, I have used a smaller orb (usually three degrees). The more precise the aspect, the stronger its influence is manifested.

Aspects of the nodes to Jupiter

Good deeds in the past open up opportunities for spiritual and/or material wealth when the North Node is in conjunction with Jupiter. A person has a healthy desire to acquire material things, and developing financial independence can provide many benefits. The Madonna has this aspect in her second house, which is quite interesting considering her materialistic girl phase. This aspect suits her in other respects, as it indicates the development of a higher philosophy by a person and the acquisition of wisdom by him. This aspect brings a lot of positivism, the most negative manifestation of which can be extravagance or exorbitant optimism. The house in which this conjunction falls shows in which particular area of ​​\u200b\u200blife such enthusiasm will be present. Such an aspect can give too pronounced craving for excesses. However, all this is not bad, because the House of the horoscope also indicates where a person should look for his luck. By analogy with the connection of the North Node with the Sun, this aspect gives blessings, profit, protection and a life free from karmic debts. In the worst case, the owner of this aspect may develop greed, although this aspect is quite favorable, since any harm that it brings is not caused to the owner of the aspect, but to others.

Sometimes this connection brings not so much material as spiritual benefits, but for this people have to work very hard. For example, if it is about drama, then they will appear in many films or roles; if they sing or compose music, they will be the authors of many records; if they write, they will publish many books, etc. Their work will be warmly received and loved by the audience, which will contribute to the growth of the authors' material well-being. This aspect is present in a number of talented people. The sign of the zodiac in which this connection falls carries information about these talents and whether they will manifest themselves mainly in the social, material or spiritual sphere. Many owners of this aspect simply enjoy the fruits of good deeds done in past lives, which often belonged to the material sphere; they do not experience pressure, they do not have to solve difficult problems or overcome obstacles. The cosmos graciously smiles at them. They often remain young for a very long time.

Jupiter's conjunction with the North Node is expansive in many ways and can cause weight gain. Judy Garland had this aspect, and while she was able to reap the benefits it offered, she became addicted to multiple drugs during her many attempts to control her weight. And here are some other famous people with this aspect: James Van Praa, Julio Iglesias, Dick Cavett, Andy Gibb 46
Dick Cavett- Hollywood actor Andy Gibb- Australian singer, one of the brothers-participants of the super-popular band "The Bee Gees".

Audrey Hepburn and Alois Alzheimer, German psychiatrist, neurologist and professor after whom Alzheimer's syndrome is named.

The conjunction of the South Node with Jupiter is also a philosophical aspect. Jupiter governs philosophy, jurisprudence, and theological studies, so a soul with this aspect comes into this world with experience and knowledge that defines its belief system. Such people have very definite views and feel the responsibility to pass on what they have learned in the past. They can use their wisdom to contribute positively or negatively to public morality; their views may be narrow, or they may impose them on other people.

Ron Hubbard, founder of Dianetics and the Church of Scientology, had this aspect, and with a very small orb. His philosophical teaching not only won the minds of millions of followers, but he himself was an unusually prolific writer; from his pen came many voluminous works intended to free the "Thetan" (human spirit) from the burden of the past. Although Ron Hubbard, who has published more than a thousand works, including science fiction (he is the most prolific author in the Guinness Book of World Records), is an exceptional example of the potential of this aspect, many other prolific writers fall into the same group. This aspect was with Tennessee Williams. Although in this group you can find many actors, athletes, politicians and representatives of other professions, nevertheless, most of all in it are writers and philosophers. It also includes many authors, composers, songwriters, teachers and educators. These people have amazing communication skills. They are spreading the word. They propagate beliefs and contribute to moral norms. This aspect (with a large orb) was the twin sisters Ann Landers and Abigail Van Beuren. Both sisters owned their own newspaper column in which they gave advice to people who asked them questions about proper behavior and etiquette. People with a North Node Jupiter conjunction usually have good intuition, and through previous experience and knowledge, they demonstrate talents that they could not acquire in this life. This aspect often gives amazing potential for spiritual accomplishments.

A conjunction with Jupiter usually brings many benefits, even in the case of a conjunction with the South Node. Some possessors of this aspect are born into a prominent or royal family, although material wealth is not poured on them as generously as on people with a conjunction of Jupiter with the North Node. They often have to fight, but patience is a good help in it. They may have problems with higher education, religion, or traveling long distances. Sometimes their social or philosophical views are unacceptable to the majority. A potential problem that could lead to collapse is overexpansion. At worst, these people lack kindness - if Jupiter's benevolence is destroyed by the restrictive influence of the South Node.

Here are a few people with this aspect: Chastity Bono, Ennis Cosby, Vincent van Gogh, Jennifer Aniston, Lucille Ball, Steffi Graf, Herbie Hancock, Peter Hurkos and Cheryl Tiegs 47
Ennis Cosby– son of comedian Bill Cosby; killed at the age of twenty-eight. Lucille Ball- American comedian. Steffi Graf- German tennis player Herbie Hancock is an American jazz musician. Cheryl Tiegs- model.

The controversial outrageous rocker Marilyn Manson has the same aspect.

The sextile and trine between Jupiter and the North Node resemble in their favorable action the conjunction of the North Node with Jupiter, although this action is expressed weaker. In the case of quadrature, a person may have social or religious views and beliefs that are contrary to generally accepted ones. He may have limited opportunities, he has to struggle with financial difficulties - all this prevents him from moving forward in life.

Node aspects to Saturn

The north node in conjunction with Saturn usually helps to get rid of some of the restrictions imposed by Saturn. This aspect increases patience, conservatism and practicality, promotes good relations with senior power figures who help a person realize his ambitions, especially considering that a person with this aspect has a great sense of time, that is, he knows exactly when to turn to influential people. figures. Often, people with this standing have good relationships with elders, including older family members who help them achieve their goals. Such a person has to develop more independence, because in the past his family guided his actions. It may be a soul approaching the threshold of its maturity; learning to take responsibility, so the cosmos will give her extra help. Self-discipline is one of the strongest and most positive aspects of this aspect, you can use it in your work. When constructively worked out, this aspect produces champions of every kind. When organization, patience, methodology, and setting your own pace are combined, the possibilities for achievement are truly endless. The group of owners of this aspect includes singers, actors, musicians, writers, astrologers, teachers, politicians, athletes and fashion designers. This aspect is in Bill Blass, Zoe Fontana 48
Bill Blass- one of the oldest and most famous American designers. Zoe Fontana- one of the founders of the oldest Italian fashion house Sorelle Fontana.

And Pierre Cardin. Since Saturn is exalted in Libra, this conjunction works best in the air signs Gemini, Libra and Aquarius.

Saturn, the famous overseer, always sets a few difficult tasks for a person. Sometimes this manifests itself in the form of health problems in youth, despite which a person is able to live a very long life. What kind of difficulties a person will have to face can be seen from the House into which this connection falls. All these trials should help develop patience and independence.

If the North Node increases the negative influence of Saturn, then this can make a person depressed and melancholic; the risk of such a development of events increases if this connection falls into one of the emotional, water signs. In an extreme case, a person can become pessimistic, insensitive, selfish, greedy and even ruthless; this will lead to a variety of problems both for the person himself and for those around him. The theme is exacerbated when this conjunction is in fire signs, especially Aries, or when Mars is involved in this configuration. This is exactly what happened to Timothy McVeigh. 49
Timothy McVeigh- US Army reservist, veteran of the Gulf War, organizer of the largest (before the events of September 11, 2001) terrorist act in American history - an explosion in a federal building in Oklahoma City on April 19, 1995, during which one hundred and sixty-eight people died. Executed in 2001.

The natal chart of which we will discuss in the next chapter. A large number of famous people with this aspect have committed suicide.

And here are a few others with the same aspect but more positively expressed: Hank Aaron, Carrie Fisher, John Fogerty, Florence Henderson, Ashley Judd and George Segal 50
Hank Aaron Considered one of the best hitters in baseball history. In 1982, he was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame. Carrie Fisher is an American actress, screenwriter and novelist. John Fogerty is an American legendary vocalist and rock musician. Florence Henderson- American actress. Ashley Judd- American film actress George Segal is an American actor and producer.

The conjunction of the South Node with Saturn suggests that the person came into this world with a good dose of Saturnian attitudes. While this can be very positive, this node placement is a potentially limiting aspect that comes into play from the very beginning of life, due to the restraining and rather pessimistic nature of old, restless Saturn. Rigid habits, appearance and aspirations of a person can be very far from what is considered an acceptable norm in modern society, as a result of which a person creates his own isolated world, retreats from life and ignores social obligations. Potentially, this is the most difficult legacy of a past life that needs to be disposed of. People with this knot attitude can easily turn into stubborn people who cling to the past. They are full of prejudices and obsolete attitudes, they have many connections with older people. The position of the South Node, connected to Saturn, in a particular House indicates in which area the ideas and attitudes of the past hold a person captive. The specific House in which this connection is located also speaks of the degree of anxiety. Sometimes a tragedy, a series of unfortunate events, or a general difficult situation leads to a feeling of despair. Outwardly, a person may appear gloomy or look unhappy and selfish. Parts of the body ruled by Saturn may experience physical problems such as bone weakness, rheumatism, dental or skin problems.

Approached from a more positive perspective - based on Saturnian discipline, responsibility, organization and respect for boundaries - it enables people with such a connection to work with such remarkable skill, precision and experience that it sets them apart from the competition. They are inimitable. Performing individual work that requires perseverance and thoroughness, these people are free from the influence of external influences and are able to see all the work to the end. The main influence that this connection has on a person is a life of hard work, and the struggle with the restrictions imposed on such a person. One of the greatest strengths of such a connection is that its owners are better able to overcome difficulties than most other people. A breakthrough or reward often comes to such people at the very last moment. When a person solves the problems facing him, the reward is usually very large.

A wide range of talents can flow from this aspect, the most useful of which may be the ability to look at the world philosophically or scientifically and detachedly. Here are some famous people with this configuration - Paula Abdul, Tom Brokaw, Greta Garbo, Mario Lopez, Tina Turner, Jack Nicklaus and Grace Slick 51
Tom Brokaw is one of the most trusted and respected figures in broadcast journalism and is a special correspondent for NBC News. Mario Lopez is an American actor and dancer. Jack Nicklaus- an outstanding golfer. Grace Slick is an American rock singer and songwriter.

This aspect was also with Jim Bakker, the fraudulent evangelist.

The sextile or trine of nodes to Saturn indicates that the ambitious aspirations and goals of a person are, to one degree or another, in harmony with society, and that he can more easily receive the necessary support. As for the quadrature, it is not so easy for a person to satisfy his ambitious plans - he may turn out to be too shy, prone to loneliness and solitude, conservative in his views, bad timing, or voluntarily isolate himself from society.

Node aspects to Uranus

When connecting Uranus with a node, there is often a spark of genius. The owners of this aspect are very bright personalities with a unique creative flair. When connecting Uranus with any of the nodes, similar features are observed; the only difference is that the North Node indicates a new development of Uranian characteristics, while the South Node implies the arrival of the soul in this world already with the baggage of Uranian signs.

When it comes to the North Node conjunction with Uranus, the soul is encouraged to become more daring and innovative, to lean towards a more progressive way of thinking. In past lives, these souls were forced to submit to conservatism, they were kept within limits and subjected to routine. In the same life, cosmic forces offer these people their help in learning to see the good in change. Perhaps these souls in past lives were afraid of change. They will have to become more original, inventive, liberal and learn to think creatively. Life has surprises in store for them - they will encounter unusual or unexpected situations, which will make their mind agile and fast.

If we talk about the maximum development of the potential of these people, then they will invent new technologies or unconventional methods that will have a profound impact on humanity, or at least on the group of which they are members. They pave new paths and open new pages. These people are at the forefront, they are always at the forefront, very modern and innovative in whatever work they do. There are many scientists, researchers, physicists, psychoanalysts, physiologists, as well as politicians and artists in this group, but very few athletes. Here are a few famous people from the group - owners of this compound: George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, Cheech Marin, Linda Ronstadt, Alicia Silverstone, Frank Sinatra, Donald Trump, Kenneth Starr 52
Linda Ronstadt- American singer-songwriter, one of the pioneers of country rock, winner of eleven Grammy awards. Alicia Silverstone is an American actress, writer and former model. Kenneth Starr- Independent American prosecutor, prosecutor in the case of the impeachment of US President Clinton.

And George White, the astrologer who described the Line of Benefit.

In the owners of this connection there is some nervousness, often rooted in the ruling House; this nervousness can be used and directed in a constructive direction. The benefit of this House lies in the readiness of a person to accept everything new, to realize the cyclical nature of life and to benefit from his foresight and insight. However, this compound has an extremely strong electrifying energy, so there is a possibility that it can cause irreparable damage to its owner. The owners of this compound can be overly excited, carried away by group enthusiasm and not be able to calculate the long-term consequences. These are true revolutionaries, prone to radical, sometimes shocking acts. At worst, a person is characterized by eccentric and unconventional behavior, he becomes a non-conformist and even a rebel. This aspect was in Hitler's evil genius, Martin Bormann, and also in Marshall Applewhite, who persuaded many people to commit suicide. With one of the nodes conjunct Uranus, the person may admire the idea of ​​euthanasia or the timing of death.

As for the connection of the South Node with Uranus, then a person with such an aspect came into this world with this or that spark of genius. He may have a pronounced talent that does not require any formal education to manifest. This aspect was in Mozart, a recognized genius in music, whose composing ability manifested itself at the age of four. Perhaps this soul once lived in some ancient advanced civilization, Atlantis, Maya or Lemuria, and came to this world already possessing higher insights. Swami Vivekananda had this conjunction in the sign of Gemini. Yogananda, the Indian priest who brought the knowledge of Kundalini awakening to the Western world, had this conjunction in the third house.

The mind of these people is very original. To the extent that practicality can be applied to them, these proposals represent unique solutions and the key to success. There are many artists in this group who work with color, which is not surprising, since it is Uranus that controls the color palette. These people very often love color, especially color combinations - prints, paisley or patchwork. Artists, as well as writers, actors, comedians and singers, belong to this group, and are distinguished by a wide range of different nuances in their work.

However, at some point these people are brought to an unexpected collapse, the nature of which depends on the House where the South Node conjunction with Uranus falls; this collapse is caused by new or changed circumstances.

Here are a few people with this aspect: Louisa May Alcott, Willie Nelson 53
Louisa May Alcott- American writer. Willie Nelson- country music performer

Carol Burnett, Evel Knievel, Michael Moore, John Travolta and Jennifer Aniston.

There are also a few notorious people with a South Node conjunction with Uranus. Some of them behaved incorrectly or eccentrically due to the nervousness caused by this aspect. Some revolutionary events in past lives had a far-reaching impact. These people were extremely nervous types. This aspect was in Cyrano de Bergerac, whose life was full of reckless courage and danger. In the worst case, these people are characterized by aggression and extravagance, if the energy of this aspect is directed inward. They can go about their business in a completely incomprehensible way or use methods in an extremely strange way to solve their problems. They go to extremes and burn bridges behind them. Some of them are called traitors or provocateurs for their actions. Just a few days after I wrote the previous paragraphs, Cho Seung Hee of Virginia Tech went into a frenzy of rage and killed thirty-two people before committing suicide. He had a South Node conjunct Uranus in Sagittarius which is related to the affairs of the ninth house. This breakdown occurred in a foreign country for him, far from his homeland; madness seized him in higher education. This event is described in more detail in Chapter 9.

With regard to the sextile and trine of the axis of nodes to Uranus, the effect of these aspects is similar (albeit weaker) to the positive characteristics described above: the ability to benefit from new or changed public opinion and the invention of new methods. In the case of the square of the nodes to Uranus, people become able to cross the boundaries of permissible social norms. The ideas of these people meet with disapproval and resistance, which leads the owners of this aspect to great annoyance and can make them insensitive and rebellious.

Node aspects to Neptune

The conjunction of the North Node with Neptune enhances the gift of imagination. People with this aspect are encouraged to become more empathetic and intuitive. These are the visionaries who can prosper through activities associated with Neptune. They may be drawn to the film industry, the arts, photography, or portraiture. They are interested in design, jewelry making and dancing. Poetry and writing can become a favorable field of activity for them. People with this aspect are very creative and artistic. They are full of inspiration and capable of making a positive difference in any job they take on. They may be fascinated by occult activities and use their dreams to influence the world around them. These people have a keen sense of what is considered socially acceptable; so they tend to be popular. The house in which this connection falls indicates the area of ​​\u200b\u200blife that your imagination rules. A person may have dreams and visions associated with this House.

This aspect endows with a craving for the sea and water. People with this standing can serve in the Navy and engage in activities that will lead them to the water. Titanic star Leonardo DiCaprio has Neptune conjunct the North Node. Artists with such standing are drawn to depicting seascapes. People with a North Node conjunction with Neptune love to travel and can make a career out of it, as this is an extremely favorable area for them.

One of the problems of this aspect is the attraction to drugs. At first, the owners of this compound can use drugs as a way to achieve enlightenment, but this aspect of Neptune has a great temptation and can completely imperceptibly lure a person into its abyss. People with such a standing tend to follow their own desires or become a victim of someone else's deception. In this group there are various criminals - kidnappers, molesters and rapists.

Here are famous people with this connection: Jimmy Carter, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Michelle Pfeiffer, Andy Gibb, Michael Erlewine 54
Mary Chapin Carpenter is an American folk and country singer. Michael Erlewine American musician and astrologer

Ronald Reagan and Martha Stewart.

People who have a South Node connection with Neptune come into this world endowed with visionary talents. If they reach their full potential, they work in the areas that we have already listed above. They become filmmakers, filmmakers, artists, painters, photographers, dancers, singers, musicians, actors and designers. Carrie Underwood 55
Carrie Underwood is an American country music singer.

Being the winner of the American Idol program for the fourth time in a row, is a great example of the maximum unleashing of the potential of this compound; however, it is worth mentioning that with her the conjunction of the South Node and Neptune forms a sextile to Saturn and Pluto, which enhances its beneficial effect. In addition, her North Node is in Cancer, making her a favorite in her home country. She will enjoy fame and adoration for a long time.

However, the question arises of how many owners of this aspect manage to make the most of their unique talents. The connection of the South Node with Neptune imposes strict obligations on a person. They can lead a very mysterious life, they can be very difficult to "bring to light." These people can share with other people their spiritual insights that contribute to the karmic development of our entire planet as a whole, but many of them prefer to remain in the shadows. Their work may require seclusion - some lead a rather isolated lifestyle and even become hermits. The reason may be excessive sensitivity. This is an emotional aspect, especially if it falls into a water sign. The influence of the South Node can distort the emotions that feed the mind. Some people, as a result, do not feel part of this world - they feel disconnected, as if they lived on an alien planet. Sigourney Weaver, who has this aspect in her chart, became a star in 1979 with the sci-fi thriller Alien. This sense of alienation and mental distortion increases the likelihood that those with this aspect will turn to drugs and other deviant methods in an attempt to cope with a crisis. In the same group, you can meet drug dealers and those who prefer to engage in secret business. The house in which this aspect falls shows the zone in which the action of imagination and visions is most manifested, things are distorted or secret things are done.

Some owners of this aspect cannot achieve that they are paid attention. Here is a very curious example: classmates nicknamed one teenager "mouse" to distinguish him from his much more popular namesake. This humiliating nickname firmly stuck to him. This boy had the South Node in conjunction with Neptune in the first House, so he was shorter than his peers, which further worsened the general situation. He practically became invisible in his midst.

Sometimes this connection confuses the whole life of a person. At Jessica Lynch 56
Jessica Lynch- a national American hero, an ordinary US Army soldier who was in Iraqi captivity.

The South Node conjunct Neptune is in the sign of Sagittarius. Being sent during the army service to another country, she was captured, although in the end she was rescued. The fact that all aspects of her rescue are subject to doubt and controversy (including from Jessica Lynch herself), and the fact that her status as a prisoner of war is highly controversial, only adds to the intrigue and confusion in this story. Linda Tripp 57
Linda Tripp- A friend of Monica Lewinsky, who recorded her stories of intimate relationships with former US President Bill Clinton on tape and made them public.

The South Node is also in conjunction with Neptune.

Ernst Hemingway is a great example of these varied influences. He had this conjunction in the sign of Gemini, and he had a great writing imagination. One of his greatest masterpieces was The Old Man and the Sea. But his work was fueled and inspired by excessive drinking, and eventually he became an alcoholic. He was extremely unlucky in his travels, he received serious injuries, having survived two plane crashes. Later, he was treated with electroshock for depression, his memory failed him more and more often, and, in the end, he committed suicide. Several of his immediate family members also committed suicide, giving rise to speculation about a genetic predisposition to excess iron in the blood, leading to cerebellar damage, depression and other illnesses.

And here are a few others with the same aspect: Louisa May Alcott, Carroll Burnett, Shari Lewis, Wiley Nelson, Elizabeth Montgomery (Star of Charmed), Jacques Chirac and Bonnie Raitt 58
Shari Lewis is an American entertainer and host of children's television shows. Bonnie Raitt- American singer, guitarist, author and performer of songs in the styles of blues, country, folk, rock. Winner of nine Grammy awards.

(They all have Uranus conjunct the South Node, and many on this list were born in 1933.)

The sextile or trine of the nodes to Neptune resembles, at its best, the North Node conjunction with Neptune in action, although it works weaker. When Neptune squares the nodes, a person's psychic sensitivity is blocked, or his mystical tendencies may conflict with the customs of society, which makes the person feel alone, rejected, or misunderstood. There may be drug problems or a risk of poisoning.

Node aspects to Pluto

The North Node conjunct Pluto promotes determination, fortitude and willpower. This connection gives power, the ability to keep control and physical strength, which a person learns to manage. Perhaps in a past life this soul was suppressed and humiliated, as a result of which she could not achieve her goal, so this time the higher powers made sure that she could not fail again. Therefore, now she will cope with any obstacles if she passionately fights for the cause that she considers right.

People with this aspect can succeed in a variety of areas. They have the energy to achieve their goals. The target ignites them. These are successful people: surgeons, athletes (there are many of them in this group), mathematicians, artists and many others. The house in which this connection falls indicates those areas where opportunities open up for people to increase their strength. Supermodel Lauren Hutton had this aspect in her first House - her strength lay in her physical prowess. Ernst Gallo 59
Ernst Gallo- Founder of Californian winemaking.

This conjunction was in the ninth house, and he gained his strength away from his home. Billie Jean King 60
Billie Jean King is a famous American tennis player.

This aspect was in the seventh house, and she gained strength through competition.

, North Node in Aquarius , North Node in Pisces

The nodes of the planet are the points of intersection with the plane of the ecliptic. The nodes of all the planets, except the Moon, move extremely slowly and are not usually considered in astrology; the nodes of the Moon move along the Zodiac in the opposite direction to the planets (i.e. they pass from Aries to Pisces, and not to Taurus), which means that in general the nodes are retrograde, although they often have fragments of direct movement; they go through the Zodiac in 19 years.

The north node of the moon () is also called the ascending or dragon's head; South Node of the Moon () - respectively, descending or tail of the dragon;

Through the ascending node, the Moon passes from the southern hemisphere of the sky under the plane of the ecliptic to the northern, through the descending - back. In ephemeris, they are usually limited to indicating the position of the north node of the Moon, since the south node is always located exactly opposite in the Zodiac (if, for example, the north node is at 3 ° 15 "Capricorn, then the south will be at 3 ° 15" Cancer).

The nodes of the Moon are astrologically closely related to the Moon; they indicate the type of (often unconscious) attitude of a person to social currents and problems in their dynamics, with the north node referring to the new, which has recently appeared, and the south one to the old, or at least familiar. Since the nodes of the Moon play a lesser role than the planets, it is recommended to take the orbis for their aspects 2 ° (for major aspects with the Sun and the Moon - 3 °).

The nodes of the Moon are also important for the inner life of a person.

The South Node denotes those social programs of the subconscious that were developed earlier, in past lives; this is something that a person already easily knows, and he easily succeeds; therefore, here a person is tempted to follow the previously trodden paths and roads, that is, following internal stamps, which hinders development. The south node programs give power and instinctive wisdom, and at the same time limit; the south node is tinged with Saturn.

The north node symbolizes those programs of the subconscious that control communication with society, which first arose in this life of a person, they are often associated with the expansion of his social perception and participation at a new level in social programs, so the north node has a shade of Jupiter.

The north and south nodes always stand in exact opposition (which should not be indicated by a segment on the map!), and therefore each person faces the problem of balancing them, which means forming their attitude to the social past and future, but not abstractly, but in the form as they are presented in the present.

A person with an accent of the north node (this happens when several planets are in conjunction with him, or he stands on the ascendant) lives in the social present, feels badly the roots and limitations of social consciousness, an enthusiast of social movements, swallowing the superficial energy of new beginnings and not feeling inertia and forces of habit of his fellow tribesmen in social problems and programs, but very sensitive to emerging new social forms and problems. Such people enthusiastically lead on a voluntary basis or (in the event of a node defeat) deftly engage in demagoguery in the truest sense of the word (ie, deceive the masses), speculate on topical slogans.

The south node person is a social conservative who believes in the gradual evolutionary development of society and denies revolution in particular in their social conditions. He feels the tradition well, loves and knows the history of his people (factory, region), loves reliable and time-tested types of social structure and ways to improve it. He is distinguished by critical thinking towards everything new that has appeared in society; when the node is damaged, it is a retrograde; with harmonious aspects, this criticism is accurate and constructive.

Nodes should be interpreted not as two different objects related to different aspects of the external and internal life of a person, but as two facets of a single entity or as two poles, between which there is one planet. In particular, since the nodes are always aspected in the same way (i.e., if the north node is affected in the map, then the south one is also affected, and if the north one is harmonious, then the south one is also harmonious), then the problems of attitude to the social past and future are closely related and solved in parallel. At the same time, nodes, always being simultaneously in male or simultaneous female signs, always stand in the signs of different elements, therefore the attitude to the elements of the future and the past in the present is always different in style. If, for example, the north node is in Libra, then the south node will be in Aries. This means that a person (usually not noticing this at all!) Has an active social position in general (male signs), but he treats traditions and stable social structures in an Avnovian way - ardently, passionately defending them or also denying them, and to recently emerging social phenomena - from detached - aesthetically - coldly - balanced positions, carefully weighing the new from all sides.

The north node in Leo, the south node in Aquarius gives energy, pressure, practical aspiration in matters of the emerging new in public life and a rather cold and insightful look at existing social traditions, witty and unexpected criticism of the new.

The north node is in Scorpio, the south node in Taurus - extreme conservatism in views on traditions, reliance on the past, foundations, and at the same time an emotional attitude to new social trends, a desire to change and transform everything there.

In the life of the average person, the nodes of the Moon and their aspects play a very important role. Not being able to realize himself through the planets, individually, he often does this through social programs, where it is much easier to fit in than to show PERSONAL initiative and go against everyone. It should be understood that the "new" symbolized by the north node is very different from the new that comes from Aquarius. The north node is related only to what is already recognized by society as existing and real, and has gained a sufficient number of supporters, but has not yet found its social niche, and joining it is not a social feat. In the same way, the old, traditional in society, which symbolizes the south node, is not a category ruled by Cancer. These are well-established and familiar social programs, relations and positions that are accessible and understandable to everyone, which, in general, do not require historical knowledge and digressions for their understanding and perception.

Disharmony for the nodes gives the connection of any of them with the planet. If, for example, the north node is in conjunction with Mercury, then the scales of the nodes will be tilted towards the mental and active interest in fresh social influences to the detriment of understanding the historical state of affairs; in social activities - frivolity, lightness, a lot of chatter. If the Moon is in conjunction with the South Node, traditions are unusually sweet to a person, he may write out folk signs in a special notebook, tied to the usual social order; in case of defeat - a retrograde at the behest of the soul, possibly a nationalist.

Affected nodes give a person a dangerous impulse to reject society as such, without understanding the difficulties of relationships and the causes of conflicts with it. Here the society actively rejects the person, and the person tries to reject the society, usually without success. At the same time, the defeat of the knots means the need to establish constructive relations with society, it, against its will, is drawn into public life. Any person with a node lesion has difficulties at work, which, regardless of success and talent, is perceived at first with skepticism or negatively. Sometimes a person works conscientiously, does exactly what they ask, but still it turns out not what is needed, and it is not clear what the matter is. This requires a thorough study of public interests and adaptation to them, and for some reason they often contradict personal interests or strongly diverge from them. A person with affected nodes, as a rule, has a poor understanding of society, both its fetters and prospects, but, without realizing this, seeks to actively participate in public life - and receives bumps and bruises in abundance, if not a political prison. At the same time, he is a black teacher of society, his hidden vices are clearly manifested on him; the rigidity of the political system, the weakness and costs of democracy, etc. are exposed. The study of the affected nodes gives a very deep understanding of social problems and prospects, the development of personality and power over society, and its absence - the state of "hangover in someone else's feast."

If a person has strong knots, i.e. they have both tense and harmonious aspects, he will be characterized by an active social position (if the nodes are in female signs, it will be largely internal, but will certainly lead to external manifestations), such a person does not understand and usually condemns people with unaspected nodes, which have an indifferent attitude towards society and its problems (which, we note, does not mean a low evolutionary level, it’s just that a person karmically has to realize a lot and do it himself).

Jupiter's square to the nodes - in an undeveloped version - is a fanfaron who does not feel his society well, but believes that he should lead him, and this may be right, but first he needs to moderate his ambitions, understand and understand the true problems in many ways and the current state of society. Depending on the cross in which Jupiter and the knots stand, this square will look different: in a cardinal cross, a person will act too decisively and speak too loudly, and will carry him strongly; in a permanent cross he will be too straightforward and stubborn, and in a moving cross he will be too inconsistent and inclined to solve all problems at once.

If the planet is half a square to one of the nodes and one and a half square to the other, then the obstacles to understanding interaction with social programs are hidden for reasons, but by no means for manifestation. Here, a person causes characteristic irritation in society by the way he behaves in social situations, and a person, in turn, feels similar, but much stronger feelings for society, and it is very difficult to understand what is the matter. Society must look for ways to unfetter the self-expression of a person who does not quite fit into it; man must learn to respect social reality.

Spheres in which the north and south nodes are active must be carefully balanced. Where the south node operates, a person in social programs does everything quickly and well, and these types of social relations are well known to him, but standard for him; they can be used within reasonable limits. At the same time, it is necessary (and it is interesting for a person) to develop participation in social programs going through the sphere of the north node, where he has a great interest in new trends, but he does not understand well how to implement them. When the balance of nodes is achieved, a person learns to use the existing social experience and skills in developing fundamentally new (for him, and sometimes for society) social forms and relations.

With this combination, individuals form their relationships on the study of existing traditions and social worldviews through participation in social business and financial projects, where popular traditions are especially carefully observed. The personality of the “Knot” helps the “Jupiterian” to perceive what is being studied more deeply, and that, for its part, helps in a retrospective analysis of what is being studied and in attempts to make futuristic development forecasts.

Jupiter conjunct the Setting Node

With this combination, individuals form their relationships on a critical position in relation to conservative social worldviews. They do not blindly follow existing and generally accepted norms, but try to use them to their advantage with maximum efficiency. The "Jupiterian" personality skillfully assesses the prospects for joint projects, analyzing the prerequisites for their implementation and real conditions, and helps the "Knot" personality to choose the most optimal ways for vigorous activity. And the personality of the "Knot" inspires the "Jupiterian" to display maximum independence and criticality in assessing the emerging social conditions.

With this aspect, the relationship between individuals is characterized basically in the same way as in (Jupiter - Ascending Node), with the difference that individuals do not tend to blindly follow generally accepted norms and rules, have their own view of things and always prefer more distant perspectives determined by based on intellectual abilities and personal experience. With this combination, relations are formed on the basis of ideological compatibility and mutual understanding in matters affecting generally accepted worldviews. This aspect is promising in the formation of relationships related to socially active life in such areas as religion, education, politics and business, charitable and humanitarian activities. The study of cultural values ​​and the dialectics of the development of the social worldview is also within the scope of the partners' common interests.

Jupiter square the Nodes of the Moon

This combination is characterized by the fact that the relationship between people is based on inconsistency in the assessment of generally accepted worldviews and traditions. The "Jupiterian" personality considers the personality of the "Knot" superficial, not striving to blindly follow generally accepted norms and rules, and she, for her part, considers the "Jupiterian" personality traditional and boring.

Tracing all the possible positions of the Lunar Nodes in the horoscope by sign, house, their aspects with the planets is not the task of this article. We will concentrate on exploring planetary conjunctions with the Moon's Nodes, given an orb of 5-6 degrees.\

Lunar nodes in the horoscope

Let's study how planetary energy is brought to the fore by a planet landing on the Dragon's Head or Tail, according to the issues discussed. Remember that the Lunar Nodes are the points on the ecliptic where the ancient dragon serpents swallowed the Sun and the Moon, where the divine meets the personal.

North Node in conjunction with the Sun

With the conjunction of the Sun and the Dragon Head, the intensification of the ego occurs. The Sun, being the energy of recognition and achievement, can be beneficial on a personal level in partnership with the Dragon Head. The union, due to its exclusive material nature, can correspond to fame and material success.

Actress Brooke Shields has a Dragon head conjunction with the Sun in Gemini in the 9th house. By the age of 11, she was a professional model. Within two years, she became a millionaire and was on her way to fame. Manfred von Richthoffen, a German ace pilot who participated in the 1st World War, had this conjunction in Taurus in the 5th house.

He was born into a prosperous military family. His passion for recognition was so strong that in just two years of air combat he registered more than 80 opponents killed. By his early death at the age of 26, he had achieved unfading fame as the "Red Baron". Finally, Richard Alpert, known as "Ram Das", had this exact conjunction in Aries, in the 10th house.

He was a renowned professor of psychology at Harvard, worked with Timothy Leary, who embraced Eastern philosophy and became known as a Western Guru, author of "Be Here Now", "Grist for the Mill", "The Only Dance There is"

Clients also show an intensification of the ego with this conjunction of the Sun with the North Node of the Moon. A woman with an exact conjunction in Cancer in the 7th house could not find satisfaction in relationships for a long time. She married four times, and is not going to give up. The desire for marital happiness has always been "around the corner" in every subsequent relationship.

Another woman with this conjunction in Aquarius in the 11th house is deeply involved in the spiritual quest in this life. She participated in several religious groups but eventually became disillusioned and left. But her passion for community of faith was so strong that in the end she again began an all-consuming search in a new form.

A person with an exact conjunction in Taurus in the 12th house tried unsuccessfully to sell a "new age" product to the business community. He constantly suffered setbacks and bankruptcy, but was not disappointed. The passion for the recognition of ideas was so strong in him that even bankruptcy did not scare him away. We may read about him in the "rags to riches" section in the coming years, because his personal need is so great that he does not know the word "stop"

The conjunction of the Dragon Head with the Sun gives an urgent need to fulfill the urge of the ego in the material world. There is a passionate need for recognition. Fame and fortune often accompany such people, but the desire for more never leaves them.

This can lead to spirituality, as in the case of Alpert, but only after a person has become disillusioned with material life. This connection can also lead to destruction, as in the case of von Richthoffen - the impulses of the ego can never be satisfied, more is needed all the time, until the balance is disturbed and the personality is destroyed.

South Node in conjunction with the Sun

When the South Node connects with the Sun, the ego is often forced out of this world. The person is identified with the unusual, different, or otherworldly. The ego needs achievements in this world, but seeks through non-ordinary or spiritual channels. Ultimately, they are looking for a way out of the personality, which is usually motivated by some perceived personal loss.

The enigmatic German general Erwin Rommel had an exact conjunction of the Dragon's Tail with the Sun in Scorpio in the X house in the chart. He gained notoriety as the "Desert Fox" thanks to an unusual desert warfare strategy, and he eventually sacrificed himself for an even more selfish cause: his suicide ensured the safety of his family and his own fame.

Famous film actor Paul Newman has this conjunction in Aquarius in the 1st house. Interestingly, his first film, The Silver Chalice, portrays him in a spiritual light. In other films with his participation, such as "Cool Hand Luke", "Hombre", "The Mackintosh Man" and others, he is depicted as a loner and a fighter against traditional beliefs. Unfortunately, he lost his son, Alan Scott Newman, to a drug overdose. Alan also had such a connection within two degrees

Finally, the famous film director Roman Polanski has this exact conjunction in the 8th house. Although professionally very successful, he was touched by personal tragedies: the loss of his mother in Auschwitz; the murder of his wife, Sharon Tate; the allegation of his sexual misconduct ruined his reputation in Hollywood, he was ostracized and isolated in Europe

Clients and their loved ones with this chart connection also experienced the loss of earthly identity. A client with a Dragon Tail/Sun conjunction in the 6th house in Pisces was dishonored by her own father. Later, she devoted her life to serving others - she began to work in the social sphere. Another client had this connection in the twelfth house.

A strong psychic imagery ability, combined with out-of-body experiences, first wreaked havoc in her mind. But when she realized and accepted that there is a reality greater than this world, she directed her energy into life and began to engage in healing, drawing energies from a larger reality. Finally, three famous astrologers have this conjunction: the first in Sagittarius in the 1st house, the second in Scorpio in the 6th house, the last in Virgo in the 12th house

All three are in private practice. All of them experienced a personal loss, and this loss changed their earthly identity. They are extremely helpful to their clients in their crises and traumas, as they themselves have experienced similar things. When the South Node is in conjunction with the Sun, there is a rejection of what a person identified with and perfected in, as in the cases of Rommel, Newman and Polanski.

This usually happens with some kind of personal loss. This connection often indicates the individual's awareness of returning to the divine or to some other reality in an attempt to comprehend that which is beyond our ability to control or change. On this path, a person gets rid of the material world and in the end can become spiritualized. The bite of the snake and the Sun tear the individual out of the virtues of this world, and the children of sorrow become bearers of joy.

North Node conjunct the Moon

The moon is the planet of awareness. She is identified with the feelings, with the understanding created by the feelings. From this understanding, our feelings are formed. When the North Node connects with the Moon, awareness of feelings and thoughts is enhanced. Sensitivity and restlessness increase as the mind yearns for more and more satisfaction. This compound increases perception to an extraordinary level, often to the point of genius.

The German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche had the Moon in exact conjunction with the Dragon's Head in Sagittarius, close to the Ascendant. His experience of perception was incredible, which was complicated by syphilis. In the end, this led him to death as a result of insanity.

Cult killer Charles Manson had this close conjunction in Aquarius in the 10th house. His religious beliefs were so strong that he forced the Manson Family to act according to his mad genius.

Cult priest Jim Jones has this conjunction in Aries in the 3rd house. An insatiable thirst for spiritual knowledge led him to found a spiritual organization called the Human Temple. Like Manson, he started a family along true lunar patterns, but when his feelings took the form of paranoia, he convinced nearly a thousand followers to commit mass suicide in Guyana in 1978.

In conclusion, as a positive example, let us cite the example of Karl Marx, philosopher, social theorist, writer, politician. He has a Dragon Head conjunction with the Moon in Taurus in the 2nd house. The understanding of social classes presented in The Communist Manifesto and Capital convinced a generation to adopt its ideology in the grand social experiment of communism.

Another insightful genius is Emmanuel Swedenborg. He has a connection in Taurus in the III house. This eminent mystic received a revelation in 1745 and taught that Heaven and Hell do not really exist - rather, they are a state of consciousness here on earth.

The conjunction of the Dragon Head with the Moon gives deep awareness and the ability to influence the masses. Insatiable drive when conjunct the Moon can produce great geniuses like Marx and Swedenborg or crazy geniuses like Manson and Jones.

Clients with this connection in the map also demonstrated the power of perception and persuasion. One woman with this conjunction in Scorpio in the 8th house is a multi-level marketing genius who has achieved great wealth through the use of marketing strategies. Another client with this Gemini 11th house conjunction is a gifted teacher who teaches several disciplines, including massage, homeopathy and kinesiology.

He's incredibly popular. Finally, the lecturer of the new age (junction in e Aries in the 2nd house), traveling all over the world, captivates huge audiences with his deepest insight. His mother was mentally ill and created an unusual basis for receptive tension in the family. This connection gives a grandiose awareness that translates into security and success in a general sense for business people, teachers and healers.

South Node conjunct the Moon

The connection of the Tail of the Dragon with the Moon leads feelings and thoughts to the otherworldly reality, enhances the understanding of other planes of consciousness. The individual becomes aware of a greater reality. This can greatly spiritualize the mind or lead to dementia. It is given to a person to feel and understand reality in a way that is not given to others. This understanding overwhelms the consciousness and weakens its concentration on the material

One of India's greatest saints, Sri Ranman Maharshi, has a Dragon Tail conjunction with the Moon in Cancer in the 9th house. He was born right after the lunar eclipse. His philosophy is to just be yourself. He often translates his vast understanding of the nature of life into the language of silence - an experiential stream for those who seek enlightenment.

The great German composer Richard Wagner had such a conjunction in Aquarius in the 9th house. Instead of the universal language of silence, his genius created as an intermediary the universal language of music. His awareness soared to other realms, the realms of myth in the opera cycle Der Ring des Nibelungen. Its themes reflect the eternal conflict between the forces of light and darkness.

The assassin Theodore Bundy has a Dragon Tail conjunct Moon in Sagittarius in the 4th house. Here we have a receptive consciousness, saturated with madness, subject only to its obsessive, otherworldly compulsions. His manner was so persuasive and charming that he seduced and killed over a hundred women.

Clients having a Dragon Tail Moon connection have experienced a similar heightened awareness. One woman with this connection in the twelfth house used her psychic knowledge to help sell real estate. Another woman with this conjunction in Pisces in the 4th house came from a very religious family.

Her mother from an early age directed her attention to the divine and allowed her to evaluate the religious beliefs of other people. Another woman has this connection in Sagittarius. She was very receptive. The prescribed medications led to a deterioration in her ability to perceive reality. Unfortunately, in a moment of despair, she committed suicide.

Finally, one of the clients has this conjunction in Gemini in the twelfth house. This woman has very sublime knowledge. She is married to a priest. Other realities interfere with her perception, which requires prolonged psychotherapy.

The conjunction of the Dragon Tail and the Moon enhances the consciousness of the individual. This enhancement enhances the perception of other areas of consciousness and can create deep spiritual or idealistic knowledge, as in the cases of Sri Ranman Maharshi and Wagner. It can also give extreme dementia and otherworldly obsessions, as in the case of Bundy.

North Node conjunct Mercury

When the North Node connects with Mercury, the intellectual abilities of a person increase. There is a strong desire to comprehend and name all the phenomena perceived by the mind. This often gives knowledge and experience in the field of commerce, etc.

The brilliant financier J. R. Morgan had a Dragon Head conjunction with Mercury in the 2nd house. Here we are dealing with a mind dedicated to a vast accumulation of property. From the same area - connection in Cancer in the IX house of Nelson Rockefeller. Having inherited almost half a billion dollars from his father, he used these enormous resources to achieve personal and political power.

The great French novelist and prolific playwright Honoré de Balzac had an exact conjunction of the Dragon's Head with Mercury in Taurus on the MC. He was known as a tireless writer, and the number of his characters, kept in the head and on the pages of novels, exceeds two thousand.

The dark side is Anton Levi, who had such a conjunction in Taurus in the II house. He is the author of The Bible of Satan and founded the first Church of Satan in San Francisco in 1966. Grigory Rasputin has this conjunction in Gemini in the 4th house. It is widely known that the mad monk had a huge impact on Alexandra, the wife of Tsar Nicholas, and on the royal family.

Clients with a Dragon Head/Mercury conjunction show varying degrees of intellectual acuity. A man with this connection in Taurus in the 4th house is a brilliant marketing manager in a large computer software company. Another man with this connection in the twelfth house is recruiting for a technical support line to solve problems related to computers. Each of these people is quite successful in their area of ​​expertise.

The North Node in conjunction with Mercury enhances the activity of the mind. He becomes insatiable and demands more and more knowledge, measuring, counting and placing valuable information. This combination can serve to create great businessmen, as in the case of Morgan and Rockefeller, or intellectuals, such as Balzac, Levy and Rasputin.

South Node conjunct Mercury

When the South Node of the Moon connects with Mercury, it directs the intellect to explore and measure the otherworldly realms of perception. There may be an interest in spiritualism and the occult. The mind is often distracted from everyday life and focused on another reality, imaginary or fantastic

Uri Geller has a Dragon Tail conjunction with Mercury in Sagittarius in the 2nd house. His telekinesis abilities have been tested and validated by the Stanford Research Institute. Johann Eckhart, nicknamed "Hitler's spiritual grandfather", had this conjunction in Pisces in the 1st house. Eckhart was known as a poet and playwright.

He was partly getting imaginary sensations as a result of addiction to alcohol and morphine. Comedian Freddie Prinze has this conjunction in Cancer in the 9th house. This comedian quickly rose to fame thanks to his quick witty manner of acting. Unfortunately, he passed away in a moment of depression.

Finally, John Robbins - heir to the success of Baskin Robbins ice cream - has such a conjunction in Scorpio in the III house. He is a writer, lecturer, visionary, spreading the food message around the world today. He is all the more credible as he has turned his back on the family's success.

In the everyday world, people who have a Dragon Tail conjunction with Mercury are also interested in alternate realities and display unusual mental abilities. One woman with this conjunct in Aquarius in the 3rd house is a sales rep for international health foods.

Another woman with this Gemini 12th house conjunction traveled all over the world in search of spiritual teachers and information. Another lady with such a conjunction in Scorpio in the 4th house complains of bizarre dreams and depressive uncontrollable turns of reason. As a result, each of these individuals demonstrates mental "intoxication" or fascination with some kind of mental quest.

When there is a conjunction of the Dragon's Tail with Mercury in the chart, some unusual mental abilities are observed, as in the cases of Geller and Eckhart. The mind is drawn to other areas, from the imaginary in Robbins to the frustrating ones in Prince. The bite of a snake poisons and sharpens the mental faculties, allowing you to grasp otherworldly phenomena.

North Node conjunct Venus

When the North Node connects with Venus, Venusian features such as artistry, musicality, beauty are enhanced, and the sense of predestination of relationships is increased. This position can lead to fame in the arts, as it envelops the person with all sorts of attention. Such people are often drawn into karmic relationships with others.

Connie Francis, popular singer, sensation of the 60s, had a Dragon Head conjunction with Venus in Sagittarius in the 12th house. Four of her marriages ended in divorce, and in 1974, beaten and raped, she lost her beautiful voice and lived in isolation for several years. Jean Anouille, one of the great post-war playwrights, had such a conjunction in Taurus in the 1st house. His characters broke off relations with others in order to remain alone. His most famous work is "Waltz of the bullfighters"

Sigmund Freud, the founder of psychoanalysis, has this conjunction in Aries in the 6th house. His work included continued close contact with patients

Astrology teacher J. Arien has such a conjunction in Cancer in the 11th house. She married a man 10 days after he showed up for her classes. After 6 years he killed her and then pointed the gun at himself

Clients have similar painful relationships. A man who has such a conjunction in Aquarius in the 9th house is a priest in a large congregation. He is known for his particular receptivity; he claims ties to the group in a past life. Another man with such a conjunction in Cancer in the 12th house was constantly tormented by his wife for several years. When he lost his job, she left him. Finally, a woman with such a conjunction in the 10th house, as a child, endured repeated insults and humiliations from her own mother. She is now embroiled in such relationships with other special personalities, and her family's lifestyle is repeated. The individuals described above show an overbearing, personally obsessive relationship pattern, they are drawn into karmic relationships with others.

South Node conjunct Venus

When the South Node connects with Venus, Venusian qualities are elevated and can be spiritualized or idealized. There is an acute need for relationships on another level. This creates a heightened spiritual orientation in life and in relationships with others. This orientation may be based on spirituality, idealism, or fantasy.

Christopher Isherwood has a South Node conjunct Venus in Virgo in the 4th house. His works are mainly devoted to Vedic philosophy, pacifism and the search for the meaning of life.

Michelangelo has this conjunction in Aries on IC. His frescoes, sculptures, the Sistine Madonna in Rome reflect human relationships and the drama of religiosity like never before.

Dean Martin, actor and singer, also has this conjunction, almost exact, in Cancer in the 4th house. He had a predestined relationship with Jerry Lewis and his son Dino, who tragically died in a military plane crash.

On the dark side, we have the example of William Bonin, the notorious California assassin. He has this conjunction in Sagittarius in the 2nd house. He killed more than twenty boys, enlisting other boys to help him commit crimes.

The issue of obsessive relationships also arises in customer maps. A woman with exact Gemini in the 7th house was sexually pursued by the same man for most of her life, and she compared everyone to him. Another woman has this conjunction in Cancer in the 9th house. She communicates exclusively with people of oriental origin

At the conjunction of the Tail of the Dragon with Venus, we observe literary and artistic inclinations, as in Isherwood and Michelangelo. But most importantly, there is a craving for personal relationships that transcend this world. This can lead to spiritual heights of consciousness, to a close relationship with someone's artistry or someone's deity, or to an obsessive relationship of madness, like William Bonin.

North Node conjunct Mars

When the North Node connects with Mars, desire intensifies. This can lead to great ambition, inspiration, passion and achievement. Such a person can be a powerful advocate of personal conviction. It is often recognized that Mars is associated with the process of materialization. But if such persons encounter obstacles in the way of fulfilling their worldly desires, they can easily become angry and violent.

Hugo Black, a prominent Associate Justice on the US Supreme Court, has a Dragon Head conjunction with Mars in Virgo in the 10th house. He was described as a "militant humanist". Sir Richard Burton, the famous British orientalist, had this exact conjunction in Pisces in the 4th house. This adventurer traveled through Arabia, Ethiopia, Africa, writing down everything he saw. Finally, actor Sal Mineo had this conjunction in Scorpio in the X house. He started on Broadway at the age of 11 with boundless enthusiasm. He died a violent death in 1976, in part because of his great energy.

So we see individuals with great energy and passion for what they do. It is often sheer assertiveness that propels them to the top of their field. The conjunction of the Dragon Head with Mars gives constant impatience in search of the next achievements.

In client cards, this connection is no less powerful. One woman has this connection in Gemini in the 1st house. She was president of a corporation aptly named Rival Intelligence. She later left it for a shelter for injured women. Another woman, who has a very precise conjunction in Aquarius in the 10th house in her chart, has contributed to the creation of several types of business and is now organizing a non-profit enterprise. Both of these women are very successful, real leaders. On their own, they achieved recognition in their chosen cause. Both of them are relentless and will surely achieve even more.

At the conjunction of the Dragon's Head with Mars, the bite of the snake poisons the nature with desire. These individuals passionately pursue what they desire, and this can lead them to power and prestige, as in the case of Burton and Black. However, dissatisfaction with what has been achieved often grows, prompting a person to start all over again.

South Node conjunct Mars

When the South Node connects with Mars, desires increase in the same way as when Mars connects with the Dragon Head. However, the source of inspiration is otherworldly. The need for achievement is often quite idealistic and can be inspired spiritually from time to time. If the strong desires of nature are blocked in any way, individuals may become frustrated, angry and, if provoked, become enraged.

Mark Spitz, the famous Olympic swimmer, has an exact conjunction of the Dragon's Tail with Mars in the 2nd house. He started swimming at an early age, and the desire for his strong nature led him to be named "World's Best Swimmer" at the age of 17. He broke five world records and won seven gold medals at the 1972 Olympics.

Presidential candidate Edmund Jerry Brown has this conjunction in Taurus in the 10th house. He was elected Governor of California in 1974. Jerry was known to his friends and co-workers as a workaholic. Here we have the impelling energy of Mars used in an idealistic political cause. This man will never stop and we will hear about him again and again thanks to the tireless conjunction of Mars with the snake

Finally, King Rama Mongut IV had such a conjunction, almost exact, in Leo in the 11th house. He became famous thanks to the book and film "Anna and the King of Siam", and on Broadway there was a play about him "The King and I". It is known that he had more than 60 children, and this is all the more remarkable because for 27 years before taking the throne, he kept a vow of celibacy. Here the strong desire of Mars is exceeded by an idealistic religious urge to remain chaste in the face of the divine.

Clients exhibited Martian qualities, defined in a similar way. One man has a South Node in conjunction with Mars in Libra on the Ascendant. He is a brilliant therapist and massage therapist, and his students adore him. Another man has this conjunction in Libra in the 5th house. He achieved fame in the art of war. Here again we are faced with the transcendence of the strong Martian nature due to some greater idealistic spiritual reality. Finally, a woman with such a conjunction in Capricorn in the 2nd house was the victim of a violent sexual relationship. Her husband shot himself with a gun

When conjoined with the Tail of the Dragon, the passionate Martian nature is intensified and poisoned by the snakebite, inspiring the individual to idealistic achievement, as in the cases of Spitz and Brown. Passionate nature, intensifying, seeks self-expression in a reality that is not of this world. This reality can be idealistic or religious, like that of King Mongut IV, but it can also be non-otherworldly and haunting.

North Node conjunct Jupiter

When the North Node of the Moon connects with Jupiter, this creates a powerful combination of forces for great earthly accomplishments. A person may have an exaggerated sense of purpose or significance. This can often lead to great knowledge and the ability to teach others in the chosen field. There may be grandiose plans with a strong humanitarian and social bias. Serpent poisoning of earth desire and the planet of growth combined almost always manifest in some majestic way.

Jean Claude Killy, the famous Olympic skier, has an exact Dragon Head conjunction with Jupiter in Leo on the Ascendant. He is one of only two people in the world to have won the Triple Crown at the Winter Olympics. Here we see tremendous ability, ambition, achievement and recognition.

Dr. Louis Berman, a renowned endocrinologist, has this conjunction in Aries in the 4th house. Shy and retired, he helped with his knowledge to chart the human endocrine system. He was the first to isolate the parathyroid hormone

Finally, the genius Nikola Tesla had this conjunction in Aries in the 12th house. He was a scientist, a great theorist and a prolific inventor, his dream is to help humanity

This theme of significance also appears in regular customer charts. The man has a Dragon Head conjunction with Jupiter in Scorpio in the 3rd house. He states that he can sell anything. He sells art and oriental rugs around the world. At the age of 18, while selling shoes, he realized that he could just as well sell something much more magnificent. He is very successful and rich and wants everyone to know about it.

For a woman, this conjunction is in Libra in the 5th house. She is engaged in massage and is sincerely ready to help everyone who turns to her. She continues to build her skills and knowledge, including other techniques

By conjunct the Dragon Head with Jupiter, greatness can be achieved in the public sphere, as in the cases of Killy and Berman. Individuals are often very knowledgeable and philosophically educated, knowing their subject without limit. Tesla is one of those kind of people. Their goal is to leave their mark on the world

South Node conjunct Jupiter

When the South Node connects with Jupiter, it often signifies a deep humanitarian, philosophical, or religious inclination. It seems that such people can cover huge topics that are beyond the ken of ordinary people. They yearn to understand the idealistic or divine principles in their lives. Their head is in this world, but not of it. Often these are the greatest philosophers or social theorists.

The great reformer Martin Luther had Jupiter conjunct the Tail of the Dragon in Libra in the 3rd house. He was a renowned professor of theology when he broke with the Catholic Church and began the Reformation in 1525. His understanding of spirituality still influences us today.

The great astrologer Alan Leo had this conjunction in Leo in the twelfth house. He was one of the founders of the Theosophical Lodge in England. He was practically the only popularizer of astrology at that time. Here we are dealing with a Jupiterian philosopher who helped astrology use its Western spiritual roots.

The great statesman Sir Winston Churchill had this exact conjunction in Libra in the 1st house. Twice Prime Minister, Nobel Laureate in Literature, this broad-minded man helped England play a leading role in world politics at a time when it was in fact in decline.

Other notable individuals are Lord Alfred Tennyson, the Victorian poet who had this conjunction in Aries in the 11th house, and William F. Buckley, the high-flown political pontificator, who had this conjunction in Capricorn in the 9th house.

Clients have similar features, but at a lower level. One client with the exact conjunction of the Tail of the Dragon with Jupiter in Scorpio on the MC publishes a successful foreign magazine, aptly named "Planet" - issues of philosophical and religious content. A woman with such a conjunction in Scorpio in the 5th house is a medical practitioner who travels around the Third World, spreading knowledge and healing the sick. Finally, a client with an exact conjunction in Cancer in the 12th house is a religious figure who spends a lot of time in spiritual retreat.

When the South Node of the Moon connects with Jupiter, it lifts the individual into idealistic, imaginary and prophetic realms of experience. Their worlds can lead to the spiritual uplift of mankind, as in the cases of Martin Luther, Alan Leo and Winston Churchill. There are also other worlds that can serve as a place of rejection or withdrawal. The snake bite in conjunction with Jupiter has an idealistic character, reaching the realms of humanism and spirituality.

North Node conjunct Saturn

The Dragon Head conjunction with Saturn is a powerful combination for earthly mastery. The serpent and Saturn testify to wisdom, for wisdom is experiential knowledge. This wisdom is directed to earthly affairs. The connection can give an insatiable need to achieve greater mastery in one's known occupation, as well as a feeling of isolation throughout life.

The famous French artist Honore Daumier had an exact conjunction of the Dragon Head with Saturn in Scorpio in the 4th house. His skill and energy were so great that he produced almost 4,000 lithographs and about 200 paintings. He became famous in a truly Saturnian manner - shortly after his death

Augustus Caesar, emperor of Rome, had this conjunction in Taurus in the 8th house. With this cold, calculating policy, Rome reached its zenith. He heralded a great, golden age in literature and architecture

Here we have two examples of great personal skill inherent in people with this connection.

Benvenutto Cellini, an illustrious Renaissance artist and jeweler, had an exact out-of-sign conjunction between Taurus and Gemini in the 11th house. It is generally accepted that he was the greatest metal designer of the medieval period. Finally, Guderian, the famous German general of the armored forces, mastered the skill of conducting tank battles both on the Western and Eastern fronts. He is known for his Blitzkrieg plan, developed at the beginning of the war, but he also had experience in defense at the end of hostilities. Again we have a great artist and strategist, each one of outstanding skill in a form of expression known to himself. The experience of each of them was repeated, and they were admired equally by friends and enemies.

Of the clients: One woman has an exact conjunction of the Dragon Head with Saturn in the 8th house. She is a capable executive secretary of a large corporation. Another woman has an almost exact conjunction in Taurus in the 2nd house. She comes from a very wealthy family, her father runs the family corporation. She avoids family, father and money and lives alone; her goal is to become independent

With the conjunction of the Dragon's Head with Saturn, great abilities impel a person to seek power and recognition, as in the cases of Daumier, Caesar, Cellini and Guderian. They often feel lonely at the top. Their great skill and wisdom are admired, and at times disciples seek their company, dreaming of one day becoming as capable. Here, the bite of a snake makes a person achieve perfection in endurance and independence in search of dominion over this world.

South Node conjunct Saturn

When the South Node connects with Saturn, it is a sign of asceticism, experience in the spiritual realms of existence. Such a person has an irresistible need to withdraw from the everyday world of people. Here, a snake bite can give severe loneliness or great self-respect, a call to leave this world and enter another. There may be deep depression or religiosity. Such people find spiritual satisfaction in monasteries and retreats, in being alone with the divine.

Jean Paul Sartre, the famous French philosopher, novelist and playwright, had this conjunction (minutes from exact) in Pisces in the 2nd house. He is the leader of the French intelligentsia after 1939. His philosophy of existentialism suggests that this world does not matter to the individual and that it is up to each of us to determine our own destiny. Here, the snake bite leaves no desire for this world, creating independence and responsibility of each for himself and for all

The astrologer Elbert Benjamin, known by his pseudonym S. S. Zain, had an almost exact conjunction (with a difference in minutes) of the Tail of the Dragon with Saturn in Taurus in the 6th house. Until 1900, he studied to be a naturalist, until he had a mystical experience. He founded the Church of the Light in Los Angeles and wrote a series of religious and astrological books.

Another creator of spirituality is the astrologer Max Heindel, who has this conjunction in a degree from the exact one in Libra in the 4th house. Heindel founded the Rosicrucian Fellowship in the USA at the turn of the century. Here we see a call to enter other realms and find a permanent form, something established so that others can follow this spiritual reality.

Finally, the great poet, philosopher, artist Camille Gibran had this conjunction (minutes away from exact) in Taurus in the 9th house. The lone figure in The Prophet speaks eloquently of his skill and insight. Claude Bragdon said of him: "His power comes from some huge reservoir of spiritual life, otherwise it could not be so" all-encompassing and powerful"

In the everyday world we find a similar dignity and asceticism. One client has this connection in the 1st house. He is very rich, but he has not changed at all in this regard. He has a reserved sense of self-worth, and is chiefly occupied with the purpose of his life. In a woman, this conjunction is in Aquarius, a few minutes from the exact one, in the X house.

She followed the spiritual path for almost her entire adult life. She is absolutely true. She suffers from feelings of loneliness and depression and intends to overcome them purely through spiritual means. Finally, a woman with such a conjunction in Aries in the 5th house has experienced much grief and financial setbacks as a result of gambling. She now leads a religious consortium helping publish New Age books.

The conjunction of the Dragon Tail with Saturn gives mastery beyond this world, like Zain, Heindel and Gibran. Particular attention at this point of the chart to Saturn, which gives the most realistic planetary energy, serves to ensure that a person chooses a reality greater than this world. Everyone must find this reality, measure it and subdue it.

It doesn't matter if other spheres exist, only what exists for them matters. The snakebite moves these individuals out of this world through asceticism, seclusion, and occasional loneliness to prepare them for a new life. The bite of a snake here leaves an imprint of spiritual creation.

North Node conjunct Uranus

The outer planets, starting from Uranus, move so slowly that they connect with the Draconis nodes for a very long period of time, so these conjunctions are common. However, precise connections at or near the corners of the map are quite unusual.

When the North Node connects with Uranus at the nodal point of the horoscope, there is an increase in individuality, as a result of which special genius tendencies appear, and a person leaves his mark on this world. Heightened individualism leads to a strong sense of being unique and different from others. As a result, the person feels misunderstood and, at worst, isolated and alienated.

The infamous Nazi Martin Bormann has the North Node conjunct Uranus in Sagittarius near Midheaven. He was known as Hitler's evil genius and was second only to Hitler in the Third Reich. This is one of the most powerful, but also the most mysterious and least understood Nazis. Here, the snakebite has created an earthy, twisted genius who tries to shape reality in the image and likeness of his uniquely deranged archer's vision.

South Node conjunct Uranus

When the South Node of the Moon connects with Uranus at the corner point, this gives an increase in individuality. As a result, a person brings experience or spiritual gifts from past lives. Heightened individualism gives a strong sense of uniqueness and difference, which often leads the individual to think that these feelings are out of this world. Sometimes this leads to isolation and hostility towards others.

Mozart had the South Node in conjunction with Uranus in Pisces on the Descendant. This is a powerful spiritual genius. Mozart learned to play several musical instruments at the age of three, participated in concerts at the age of five, drawing on a particular wealth of musical ability from past lives. He is known as one of the greatest musical geniuses of all time. Here the snakebite bestows a genius beyond this world, expressing itself through the universal language of music in the manner of Pisces.

North Node conjunct Neptune

When the North Node connects with Netun at the corner point of the horoscope, there is an increased desire for an idealized or highly valued earthly existence. The person feels a real need to surrender to his character and experience, which changes to reflect current circumstances. Since the North Node represents the process of involution, there is a need to express one's dreams on the earthly level of existence. This can lead to an experience of spiritual failure and, as a result, a greater understanding of one's own personality. It can also lead to cunning and dementia as a result of knowledge of worldly fantasies, deceit and delusions. It all depends on the degree of development of the individual.

Renowned theater and film actor Rex Harrison has a Dragon Head conjunction with Neptune a few minutes of arc from the exact one in Cancer close to the Descendant. He has played numerous roles in Oscar-winning productions of My Fair Lady, Cleopatra, Doctor Dolittle. This actor is perfect in his craft.

The North Node conjunct Neptune allows the individual to relinquish their identity, transcend it and play multiple roles in this life. Here the snake bite enhances the experience of seeing. It also increases the need to lead a material life of a high standard.

South Node conjunct Neptune

If the South Node of the Moon conjuncts Neptune at the corner point of the horoscope, the person has an intense desire for an idealized, spiritual or otherworldly experience. The person feels an ongoing need to succumb to his character and experience, coming from another reality, which arose in past lives. Since the Tail of the Dragon represents the process of evolution, there is a need to express the image of one's dreams on the spiritual or religious levels of existence. This may lead to religiosity or enlightenment, or may result in an out-of-body experience and insanity.

German naturalist, doctor, mountaineer Karl Herligkoffer had in the chart the exact conjunction of the Tail of the Dragon with Neptune a few degrees from the Ascendant in Leo. Here is a longing for an otherworldly experience, expressed in the conquest of the peaks of the Himalayas. It is the experience of belonging to something greater than our earthly realm. The snake bite here enhances the spiritual, elevated vision.

North Node conjunct Pluto

When the North Node connects with Pluto at the corner points of the horoscope, the person is purposeful to the point of fanaticism. The person is obsessively involved in a charismatic, transformative, self-destructive experience in which he lives, dies, and is reborn. There will be a struggle between power and deterrence. This person is constantly experiencing the sharpness of the blade - he is either controlled or uncontrollable. When the fear of being out of control (ultimately the fear of death) is conquered, then the soul is liberated on that level of existence.

Renowned preacher Marjo Gaertner has a Dragon Head conjunction with Pluto in Leo a few degrees from the Ascendant. From childhood, he preached the word of God, performing the functions of a priest for 15 years. This was his call from God.

He later left the church to become a film actor. In this case, the snakebite created a strong sense of purpose early on. However, this purpose must die and perhaps be reborn in an epic struggle between divine and personal destiny.

South Node conjunct Pluto

When the South Node connects with Pluto in one of the corners of the horoscope, the personality is involved in charismatic, transformative, self-destructive, religious or spiritual experiences with which the person lives, dies and is reborn again. This person also constantly experiences the acuteness of being in control and without it. When the fear of life without restraint is conquered (and eventually the fear of death), the individual is liberated on the spiritual or religious levels of existence.

Alfred Bloomingdale's famous model and mistress Vicki Morgan had a Dragon Tail conjunction with Pluto in Leo a few degrees from the Ascendant. In this case, the transformative, self-destructive experiences are otherworldly, as Vicki was predominately engaged in a sadomasochistic relationship with Bloomingdale.

The self-destructive tendencies moved from a sexual relationship with Bloomingdale to the real world when her companion and lover beat her to death with a baseball bat during an argument. Here, a snake bite calls to otherworldly realms. The edge of restraint and lack of control manifested itself in the world of sexual fantasy.

This obsessive need for a transformative otherworldly experience eventually led her to other areas of fantasy—drug and alcohol abuse. In the true manner of this Dragon Tail Pluto conjunction, she lost herself and then lost her life.

Here the snakebite reveals one of life's greatest divine mysteries - when to restrain oneself and when not to. This is the main question of Pluto. Being in control, we are often unaware of what is really going on in our lives. But paradoxically, being aware of what is really happening in our lives, we are incomprehensibly the most controlled. One experience is divine, the other is insane. It takes wisdom to know the difference between them, and for that we need snakebite.
