DEDICATION INTRODUCTION
This book is dedicated to my mysterious 'SOUL MATE' with In astrological studies, the importance of the Lunar Nodal Axis

reasons for this neglected area is the lack of available

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

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