North Node-AP Being known for following the path to the future. Having a famous guide! Here we are, mean or true, the North Lunar Node is crossing the Zero Degree Aries Point! Aries Point? The Aries point, or vernal equinox in the tropical zodiac, is a NODE. It marks the place where the sun crosses the equatorial plain going north. Think of it as a Sun/earth node, as opposed to the Lunar nodes which involve the Sun/earth/Moon). Let's use this thread to discuss what this event might mean, in the News, our individual lives and in our composite and synastries. Look first at WHERE the Zero Degree Aries Point is in your natal and progressed chart. What HOUSE does it occupy and what SIGN? Next, check planet contacts (within 1 or 2 degree orb). For an initial reference (if you aren't used to working with the AP), you can read my full article on this topic. www.falconastrology.com/aries_point.htmThis article has a list of references for further investigation. Perhaps we can add to that list here? EXAMPLE from the FILESI have Venus at 0 Cancer...When I wrote the article, I said: Venus-AP Can mean our sensual, accommodating ability to connect and bond with others moves out into a greater social arena. People see us for our capricious, artistic and ingratiating qualities. The famous artist.Interestingly, the last few weeks have brought the strongest interest in my fiction writing that I've had in the over 10 years. "Strongest' is an understatement! I've had 9.99 years of steady rejections, and now, suddenly (shockingly) editors want to read my new work! (Saturn trines my AP/Venus at 4 Sc, also being heavily activated!) Others? Check your charts!! Warm Winter Wishes, Kim

Congrats on the well-deserved 'interest' in your fiction writing---How exciting Kim!! The AP point is still a bit ambiguous for me. So I will read your article and go from there. In the meantime...This AP Aries 0 is located in my 5th natally. Natally... I have Sun at 29 Gem (8th)...also Saturn 29' 20 Pis (5th)- This AP is dead smack on my natal Saturn!!!....and Juno 29' 45 Taurus (7th)..... And with my solar return coming up on June 20th....this AP placement in SR 9th will be trining my SR Asc (Can 29) and sextile my DSC (Cap 29) and sextile Eros (29' 52 Taur) in 11th. What should I be looking for?? There is nothing seemingly outstanding in my Progressed chart....well,actually this AP is conjunct my Progressed IC. Pr Pandora at 0 deg Libra in PR11th. Does that mean anything? I would like to contribute more to this subject and hope that everyone will chime in with their ideas too!! OH...I also checked my SA chart....SA Venus at Can 1'33"(8th), SA Mercury at Vir 0' 27 (10th) and SA Eros at Libra 1' 47" (11th). Do you look at the asteroids as well? SA Pholus is located directly on 0 degrees Aries. (In SA 5th). How do I incorporate it all? Or do I stay looking at the natal chart only? Hugs- GemStar PS-Having just returned from my Argentine Tango dancing adventure, I can say it was my best year yet and the attention was out of control! My friend said she wanted to rub me to catch some of my special Karma I was exuding!! I had a fantastic time and have crashed back to earth into my real Life again....yet, with renewed zest for...well, I am not sure...I just feel renewed!! SOMETHING must be happening.....maybe?

Congratulations Kim on your interested editors. How cool..how promising!! I have that saturn trine venus and sometimes it certainly does what you want it to do---work & the arts... I like your question and this thread--juicy. My IC is actually Aries 1 in House 4. Incidentally LUST is 29 Pisces ( I have a serious erotic/home thing in my chart with eros/mars/lust in House 4 but that is another story for another time) . With NN transiting my House 4 Aries 1 IC the entire prior weeks were dominated by ripping my house apart, cleaning and painting in a frenzy for a very "public" graduation celebration luncheon for our son. It was the first time in almost a decade that both sides of the family were in our home. I have actually also been comtemplating selling this house! Interesting enough our house and our marriage were on full display when the NN sat at Zero Aries. I am not sure what this transits means for my opposite---my 9th house MC Libra 1 (and Solar Arc Uranus at 1 Libra AND I just noticed that my marriage composite has NN at 1 Libra also???) I had an entirely amazing bizarrely erotic week with Doc where we shot rapid fire emails (never before like this) back and forth, all focused on a role play involving super heroes (don't ask--8 emails later it still seems surreal). My IC is tightly trine my "communicating" Gemini Zero Sun and then my Mercury Gemini 6...that may or may not have played into that. Eros is also exactly on my Venus today. PS--Well that explains some of my erotic week-- I just checked my progressed composite with D: 0 Aries Lust in the 5th House (hahha) 0 Jupiter in Capricorn 2nd House 0 Leo Sappho 9th House (trine the 0 aries lust) He has natal Psyche at 0 Aries so there you have it the north Node is transiting his Psyche at 0 Aries 9th house ...and in our natal composite Jupiter at 1 Cap in the 4 house...

What does the North Node hitting the Aries Point do? Simply trigger energies there? I have natal Eros conjunct the Aries Point (at 0 Ari 39 r) in my 8th house! I mentioned elsewhere that my prog Eros(r) is now at 14 Pisc on my 8th cusp, getting a *station* from transiting Uranus. Lordy!!! I am feeling the energy! But I had a passionately sexual relationship that ended painfully in early December and I've been careful since then not to get physically involved with anyone again without exclusivity (he had continued to date, although not sleep with anyone else, eventually went back to his ex-girlfriend). I am dating more than one guy now and trying to go slow. But boy, do I feel responsive - could respond to any of them!! This is unusual for me, usually extremely monogamous emotionally. I have no idea what to do with this. 3rdhousenorth

Hi Everyone,
Kim that is great news about fresh interest in your fiction writing - your name on my local bookstore shelves coming soon!
Well, the NN on AP is SO close to my NN Return... Natal NN at 29'43 Pisces.... in my Tenth House with Chiron and Venus. Also at 0 degrees in my Natal chart Uranus at 0 Libra (so getting south node attention at present) in fourth house and Saturn at 0 Taurus - 11th, Mercury at 0 Gemini - 12th.
Nothing is happening!!! But life seems slightly surreal - so something is bound to go on. Does that makes sense? And I feel as though there is something I SHOULD be doing.
Kim, I posted on the returns chart that the moon in my NN return is out of bounds, please - can you point me in the direction to learn about this?
Light, pm

ps. I have mum staying with me at the moment - she has Mercury at 0 Aries (exact!!) - and a lot of my energy has been going into accomodating her. Yesterday she gave me a book - 'The Trickster Makes the World' about the mythology of Mercury/Hermes/Coyote. pm

WOW, Kim! FANTASTIC about the positive attention to your fiction!!! (is it a fantasy, btw?) ... I am so thrilled for you ... just beside myself ... such exciting news! ... and such perseverance and heart on your part! ... *feeling golddust spreading all over the forum* Much love ... P.S. I don't have anything major on the Aries point, which lands in my natal 3rd -- just the asteroid Justitia (Justice with her shining sword!) ... but that makes sense ... about the only thing that gets my blood boiling is injustice ...

Kim! Brilliant news! I had no doubts that something was up somewhere--- I'm certain you felt it all "about to happen" as well. 0 degrees AP- feels like a rush of new energies.. and that always helps others see things in a new perspective. I hope everyone is feeling well and best wishes for your father Jade- be well everyone! Sfinxen P.S. for me, I've already had my "North Node" transit, and this Lunar return happened to slap Mercury (out of bounds on 0 degrees Cancer conjunct the ASC of my Natal chart).. there were alot of zeros on this my last lunar return before my solar return.. with my first house placed in the 8th!!! "risks and times of change" seem to mark this moment, but I've been in the mood for doing alot of ground work and clearing up things I don't "Need".. (the closet theme comes to mind)... I have to remember Urania and "Dali" are at 1 degree Cancer in my Natal Chart, so things do feel like they are Buzzing when it comes to my ability to tie together connections.. (it sometimes feels as though the whole world is a huge puzzle, and I often fit the bits and peices together with very little effort or study, when I need to, and when I feel its important.)

Wow, Lot's of activity here! 0 Aries is smiling! Thanks for the congrats and support re: my writing (Occult/Fantasy /Sci-Fi) though we are only at the GARDED OPTIMISM stage. It is way too soon for fan fare, I promise. I just thought it was interesting that it coincided with the NN on the AP on my 0 Cancer Venus and, oh yes, my 29 Gem 55' Jupiter....mustn't leave him out! Everyone remember, you have FOUR zero degree Aries points in your chart. Check your natals first for this Cardinal Cross. What houses are linked? What areas of life? Start with that, and do read the article linked above for a strong understanding on what this Earth/Sun Node is all about. Yes, the combination of the Lunar Nodes (Moon/Earth/Sun) and the 0 Aries Points (Earth/Sun) BOOST that area of your chart, activating anything there with a stream of ENERGY. It seems like everyone's feeling 'something'! Even if you have no planets within a few degrees of orb (of any of the Cardinals) you do have some very specific areas of life that are, like Sven said, being REFRESHED...This is a major 're-boot' if you take the time to tune into it! 3rdHouse? I don't know how you can 'stay in control' with Eros there! Prima, AP transit in the 10th...that is so 'Mother'! Blueocrchids? Your home/Marriage on display? Yes, that makes since with the angular houses lit up! And the erotic...well...that seems to be heating up as well! Jamma, Thank you for the gold-dust...hang on to some for when there is some tangible news! Be alert to 3rd/9th house activation and also 6/12...the cardinal cross in your chart. Gem, START with the natal. Find where the AP sits (all 4 corners) and what areas of life are activated. I'm going to expand my AP article and write on these positions in the Natal, progressed and composite charts. I'll let you know when that is up! Jade, look to see the ruler of Dad's 6th and 8th. Are they linked to this transit at all? Look also for where 0 Libra resides...rules the Lumbar Spine. Best wishes for his recovery. ALSO, remember this transit is a North Node return in Everyone’s Draconic Chart. What house is that in? (the house of your North Node!) Look for links to the AP there (whatever your natal NN aspects are will be an AP aspect in the Draco Chart. I'll write something on this as well...this week! Now off to work! Warmly, Kim

Here are the positions for the truen and mean node: TRUE NODE MEAN NODE (From my Matrix Software Winstar +) Kim

Hey Kim,
Quick question. Doc has a Zero Degree Aries PSYCHE (9th house) sextile his Cancer 27 degree ASCENDANT. I see from your chart with that Node going retrograde that it will really be affecting his PSYCHE--sitting right on it for a while/passing back and forth over it. What might he feel? I would think something with its tie to his Ascendant and such a direct hit to the PSYCHE.

Post by gemstar on Jun 12, 2006 16:11:39 GMT
Hmmmm....I thought the Node is ALWAYS retrograde....it doesn't station at all-it simply keeps moving it's slow backward crawl. Yes??
Hugs- GemStar

Post by blueorchids on Jun 12, 2006 16:17:09 GMT
Yes gemstarr..thanks for pointing that out...retrograde nodes...my error a slow crawl back...
I suppose, however, my question remains about the possible impact on him as it moves back from 1 to 0 directly on his Psyche and intensifying its effect...

Post by Kim Falconer on Jun 12, 2006 22:06:59 GMT
Okay, here is how it works... the MEAN node is always going retrograde. That is the mean, or average motion of the nodes in BACKWARD direction. Many astrologer use only the mean node...it can be a few degrees different than the TRUE node. The TRUE node moves in a different way. This is the REAL path the nodes follow which is 'one step forward, two steps back'. Many astrologers only look at the true node...it can be a few degrees off of the Mean. I often check both. Because transits do have an orb of effect, you don't necessarily notice a difference. But when you do a nodal return, it can be different...though you must return a Mean node to a mean node and True to True...make sense? BlueOrchid, I would look at the True Node's path across the Dr.'s psyche. (I'm certainly looking at it over my 0 Cancer Venus! I think there may be an awakening of his inner world, his desires to connect and be 'seen' and 'heard' for who he is. In his profession, he is often related to as an archetype..."The Wise Healer" and although that is part of who he is, it is very impersonal...he isn't really 'known'. This transit may find him reaching out (and doing the inner work required) to make connections based on who he is, not what he does. A big step, if he takes it. Kim
