justify as a book on the Lunar Nodes.
The following is the most inspired poem by that Soul, which will
be a part of my forthcoming book of poetry. In this text, an entirely new concept of understanding the nodal
significance is put together which will shed considerable light
as to one's Karmic destiny in this life. These delineations are
derived out of the special process of "Magnification" and each

 BASIC CONCEPT OF LUNAR NODES

Most significant of all planetary nodes are the Lunar Nodes, the
Moon being the closest light near Earth. The influence of the
Moon is very strong in a natal chart and similarly, the influence
of Lunar Nodes is very significant in the life of a soul. By normal
definition, Lunar Nodes are the diametrically opposite points
created by the intersection of the path of the Moon with the
plane of the ecliptic. When the Moon crosses from the southern
latitudes to get into northern latitudes, the point is called the
North Node. Similarly, when the Moon changes from northern
latitudes to southern latitudes, that point becomes the Lunar
South Node.

Since the nodes are not real points (lights) in the usual
astronomical system, their significant and proper use has
always been considerably esoteric in nature. The basic concept
we are going to pursue regarding the nodes in a chart is that it
acts as a vacuum tube connecting the Unknown Past (Karma)
and the Known Present. In other words, nodes bridge the gap
between the previous form of soul to the present soul structure.
It also enables us to extrapolate the present soul structure and
its possible connection to the future soul form. This
automatically ties us down with a concept of some form of
reincarnation process. If the regenerative capabilities of a soul
are not valid, then the nodal connection does not have any
practical significance in a chart. I do not want to get into the
argument as to the "law of conservation of souls" or the type of
form that is probable and the forms that are forbidden, etc. For
example, what would the soul in a chart of a country be like?
Can it be transformed into a normal human form? Often we do
charts that are not associated with normal soul or body
concepts; e.g. Horary Charts. What happens to the significance
of nodes in those charts? We may have a lot of discussion in
these areas. However, let us concentrate on the charts that have
a unique 'body and soul' structure.

As a simple rule, the South Node brings the past life, or Karmic,
influence through the nodal axis which is utilized through the
North Node in the chart. Thus, the South Node becomes the
suction point for all incoming Karmic energy from the past
incarnations. This energy is then processed by that individual

three-way system (3 houses) during the lifetime of that indi-
vidual. The South Node position tells us where it is all coming
from:

(1) North Node in 1st, 5th, 9th houses.

(2) North Node in 2nd, 6th, 10th houses.
(3) North Node in 3rd, 7th, 11th houses.
(4) North Node in 4th, 8th, 12th houses.

A word or two about the Caste System before the explanation

begins: the Caste System that has anciently been used in India
for thousands of years was based upon the simple division of
labor in the society.
(1) The group with the North Node in the 1st, 5th, and 9th
houses is responsible for intellectual and creative
growth in the society. Showing the way to do things and
working out the plans are their basic functions. Philosophical
elevation and guidance are also their supportive duties. This
was the Brahmin Group.

(2) The group with the North Node in the 2nd, 6th, 10th
houses is responsible for the business and material
structure of the society. Economic growth and maintenance of
the financial end are their significant duties. This was the Trader
Group.

(3) The group with the North Node in the 3rd, 7th, 11th
houses is responsible for peace and harmony in the
society. These were the watchdogs or soldiers of the society.
Execution of orders and protection of the social structure from
wars and aggression was their significant duty. This was the
Warrior Group.

 GENERAL NODE CONCEPT BASED UPON THEIR MODE The four elemental levels are as follows:
OF OPERATION THROUGH SIGNS AND HOUSES
____ Fire: Aggressiveness, dynamic energy.

____ Air: Intellectuality and communication.

Since the South Node has been assigned the responsibility of

of the Karmic destiny or function of that individual in this
lifetime.

Each sign has its elemental quality such as Fire, Air, Water,
Earth. Knowing the position of the nodes in the signs, we can
expect the flow of Karmic energy for that individual. Thus, if
someone has North Node in Aries and South Node in Libra, we
can say his Karmic flow is from" Air" qualities from the previous
life into this life ...then convert "Air" into "Fire" in this lifetime.

In a similar fashion, each house is given a natural sign ... 1st

house - Aries, 6th house - Virgo, etc. By knowing the house
positions of the nodes, we can also form another flow direction
which mayor may not support the previous flow direction
through signs.

The following table will be of great use in diagnosing the nodes

and their Karmic flow:

controlling planet to the nodal axis is of great significance In
Karmic understanding. Since the nodes are the diametrically
opposite points, the aspects made by the planet to both t~e
nodes will be complementary. For all practical purposes, we Will
take the shortest or smallest aspect between the controlling
planet and the nodal axis: e.g.

North Node is 11 Li bra a

South Node is 11 Aries a
The controlling planets are Venus and Mars. If Mars was at 13
Scorpio and Venus at 22 Aries, then the controlling aspect
between Mars and South Node is between 13 Scorpio and 11
Aries which is 148 0

The complementary aspect is the smaller angle between the

Mars and the nodal axis. Thus, in this case, the aspect between
Mars and North Node is taken: (11 Libra to 13 Scorpio, which is
32).

Thus, the controlling aspect by Mars is 32 0 In the same fashion,

controlling aspect by Venus to the nodal axis will be from 11
Aries to 22 Aries. This equals 11.

In summary: First, locate the controlling planets that rule the

signs of the nodal axis. Then look for the shorter or closer
distance between the controlling planet and anyone of the
nodes. This closer aspect is taken for further study.

Just for an added delineation, keep in mind the actual aspect

between the appropriate controlling planet and the proper node.

the planets at this point.
In this manner, certain aspects will become better or worse in
their gradation depending upon whether the controlling aspect
or its complementary aspect is taken.

Conjunctions and Oppositions will be read in the same aspect.

However, the conjunction gives a lot more control to the
individual than does the opposition aspect. Example: if North
Node is at 5 Leo and South at 5 Aquarius, it is better to have the
I. Sun near 5 Leo in which case, the controlling aspect is a
conjunction in a true sense. On the other hand, if the Sun is
around 5 Aquarius, then the controlling Sun is making an
Opposition to North Node (Leo). Here the destiny, or Karmic
distribution, will be slightly difficult to control by that individual.

In both cases, we will read the aspect of Conjunction for

delineations anyway. However, by studying the case more
thoroughly, we get a deeper understanding of the situation.

If the controlling aspect is Trine and its complementary aspect

becomes Sextile, the quality of that aspect improves in our
judgment or readings. For example: North Node at 5 Leo -
South at 5 Aquarius.

If the Sun is around 5 Gemini, then the controlling aspect will be

Sextile. On the other hand, if the Sun is around 5 Sagittarius,
then the actual controlling aspect is a Trine, which is more
superior to the Sextile. For our aspect reading, both cases will
{ be taken as Sextile cases.

The Square aspect remains the same in both cases.
Hence, we do not have to discriminate this aspect as to the
gradation from the complementary aspects.

balance is fully understood.
Previous incarnation for this person was very easy going and in
considerable luxurious surroundings. Good things in life were
the main pursuits for this soul. Learning on a mental level was
very important for him. In this lifetime, he has to work with
actions and aggression. Things are not always balanced for him
now. As a result of this, he has to utilize all the means he can
within his energies to carry through his wishes. Impatience and
lack of tolerance can cause frustrations for him in this life. His
job is tough as he has to keep his feet on the ground and at the
same time watch for what goes on well above him. Failure to
keep both ends tied up may cause loss of many successful
opportunities in this lifetime.

NORTH NODE IN TAURUS:

Previous incarnation for this person was spent in many hidden
or underground activities. Being a rebel against the normal life
structure punished him to go through various stages before this
present condition occurs. Distorted sexual abuse or misuse of
power was noticed in the previous life-style. All this might or
might not have been his own problem, but the company he kept
in those years. In this lifetime, he just wants to take things very
easily and enjoy life without creating many complications. His
struggle to at least maintain his Karmic status and not go down
anymore is amazing to watch. He will try all his best to live nicely
and comfortable and anybody that would oppose his ideals will
be dealt with quite vigorously but slightly underhandedly.

NORTH NODE IN GEMINI:

Previous incarnation for this person was spent in various
philosophical and mystical pursuits. A lot of freedom and
independence was noticed in that life. Thus, this person has to
learn to deal with people in this life. Isolation becomes a rare
quality in life as he has to exchange his idealogy with others and
on a face-to-face basis. If he tries to isolate and withdraw from
society, the circumstances force him to be with others.
Considerable intellectual dissipation of knowledge is seen in
this life and communicative means are extremely significant for
him. he seldom has a chance or opportunity to cultivate his

Previous incarnation for this person was spent in various
domesticated activities. Home and the surroundings was the
key focus in his life at that time. Circumstances never gave him a
chance to go out and do things. As a result of that, he is forced to
achieve a lot of things in this life which are not homey or
domesticated. He has to be quite tough in his act in life.
Strategy, discipline, persistence and methodology are strongly
noticed in this character. He is not allowed to show his sensitive
side very often and thus, others are not very fond of his outer

NORTH NODE IN AQUARIUS:

Previous incarnation for this person was very individualized and
he had no time for others. Often his status in that life was pretty
high and others had great respect for his powers in the society.
In this lifetime, he has to learn to mix with others at all levels, and
solve their problems, whether he likes it or not. Interests and
abilities regarding the occult and uncommon spectrum of
knowledge is given at his disposal. his innovation and abilities
to tackle situations is quite amazing. He may be considered
quite uncommon by others or his goals are at least far from
normal. Others may like him for his abilities but not necessarily

his side which he has difficulty dealing with in this lifetime.

relationship transformed into a romantic encounter in the
current time frame. In such a case, an indirect undercurrent of
the past relationship is still visible, that keeps the relationship
going strongly from within. Here the souls are fulfilling fualistic
functions. This multiplicity of functions is often seen through
nodal contacts in chart comparison. In other words, past,
present and future not necessarily connected through a simple
linear contact but a probable multiple linkage. One may bring a
quick question at this point. What are the priorities in the life of
that soul at the present time? Is past relationship more
significant than the current one, or should one invest towards
the future life time and neglect the past compulsion? The
choices may lie within each individual and their together
