What are the North and South Nodes?
In astrology, the Lunar Nodes are not physical celestial bodies like planets; rather, they are mathematical points where the Moon's orbit crosses the ecliptic. Known in Vedic astrology as Rahu (North Node) and Ketu (South Node), these points represent your "Karmic Axis."
The South Node represents your past—the skills, habits, and traits you were born with. It is your comfort zone, but also where you might get stuck. The North Node represents your future—the lessons you are here to learn and the direction your soul needs to grow to find fulfillment.
How the Calculation Works
The lunar nodes move backwards through the zodiac, staying in a single sign for approximately 18.5 months. A full cycle takes about 18.6 years. This calculator uses the Mean Node calculation to determine which zodiac sign the nodes occupied at the moment of your birth.
Interpreting Your Results
The North and South Nodes are always exactly opposite each other in the zodiac. For example, if your North Node is in Aries, your South Node is automatically in Libra. This creates a polar dynamic:
Fire/Air Axis: Focuses on the balance between individual action and social harmony.
Earth/Water Axis: Focuses on the balance between material stability and emotional depth.
Example Significance
If a person has a North Node in Leo and a South Node in Aquarius, their soul's journey involves moving away from "blending into the crowd" or being overly detached (Aquarius) and moving toward self-expression, leadership, and heart-centered creativity (Leo).
