Read on to discover everything that you need to know about moon nodes in astrology and what they entail on your natal chart. 

What Are Nodes in Astrology?

In astrology, the two lunar nodes sit opposite each other on birth charts. Together, they portray your soul’s journey, not only in your current life, but also in every life that you’ve lived so far. They change signs every 18 months. 

The two distinct nodes are:

  1. The North Node - your destiny / fate
  2. The South Node - your past lifetimes

It’s interesting to note that different cultures and branches of astrology have considered astrology nodes to be important and interpreted their origin and purpose slightly differently. For instance, Vedic astrology refers to the nodes as the head and tail of the dragon, or the Rahu/north node and Ketu/south node. 

When we talk about what nodes represent, we do so by drawing on a long tradition of cultures interpreting nodes in astrology.

North Nodes: Astrology, Symbolism & Opportunities

The north nodes depict our soul’s purpose in this lifetime. It offers a glimpse into our potential and what we are capable of accomplishing in this life. You might be surprised at what you find, but allowing your north node to guide you can help you better understand and unlock your true potential in this lifetime

South Nodes: Astrology, Symbolism & Opportunities

On the other hand, the south nodes represent your past life, reflecting the wisdom, baggage, and knowledge that you were already born with. In essence, it gives us a sense of déjà vu, revealing our comfort zone.
