The forum's been quiet for a while, so on a whim I checked when the transiting North Node will conjunct my South Node at 9 Aquarius - it's in February next year. On a further whim I set a chart for the date, 20 February, and looked at its Draconic version, wondering where Draconic Pluto would be by that time. Sure enough it's at 23 Aquarius, conjunct my Draconic Sun within 1 degree, joining tropical Neptune and Chiron.
Whatever changes are coming, they won't be sudden, but I think they'll be immense ... a final cleansing and "clearing out" perhaps of any residual Aquarian behaviour patterns that no longer suit this life's purpose. And a refining of those that do. And with Chiron approaching a conjunction with draconic Sun, this all seems likely to be deeply healing.
Any thoughts out there? Is anyone else seeing similar patterns?

Hi Ariesmoon, I have natal Moon at 10 Aquarius and natal 16 Psyche at 13 Aquarius, so the nodal conjunction has been in the back of my mind. I'm excited! The Nodes are inner guidance in action! They are angels taking your hand, leading you to new horizons...or playfully saying, 'on your mark, get set, go!' They race you there sometimes but the point is, it represents a shift--a getting into alignment with yourself. The transits to Draconic Sun suggest you are going to SHINE as you shift into the new vibe. I have Draco Sun at 16 Leo, so Chiron is opposite right now and the S. Node was just conjunct. I had a huge shift in perspective regarding my past. I've basically re-written it. My old story of 'this went wrong' or 'that terrible thing happened' has 'cleared out'. I don't have that debilitating story anymore. Now I say, 'It was fantastic! It got me to such a great place of awareness!'  You can feel the difference in the vibe and I think the Nodes were instrumental--synchronicity in action! They coincided with a time where I aligned with inner guidance and changed. I love it! I find Chiron's been true to his placement as teacher of the gods. He prepared warriors to go into battle, seekers to do the impossible and succeed! The contact to my D. Sun is really amping up my audacity levels--and I've been going to the gym more! (Chiron built the first gymnasium) Who else is getting nodal contacts? I'd love to hear what's happening.  Kim |

I've got some recent nodal contacts...Both Chiron & the North Node conjunct my name asteroid in the 5th house (which is also conjunct Pholus) in early September, when I suddenly had the crystal clear intent to leave the corporate world and pursue my dancing full-time. Events unfolded...I lost my job due to lay-offs...and I'm currently deep into making my decision a reality. Pluto is now coming onto a direct opposition with my Sun and is conjunct my Ceres at the same time. And Uranus is exactly on my 6th house Chiron...The Nodal contact felt like a warm-up, or priming the pump so-to-speak, to be able to channel the potent energy! The theme of my life right now is definitely Massive Changes.  Since the nodal contact, I started a Rolfing series and am nearly done with it...that has been transformation, a massive structural re-org. Clearly that's the Uranus/Chiron energy. Nice to see you guys. The forum has been quiet... Samina |

Thanks for this Kim, I love the image of the Nodes as angels taking your hand. North Node has already crossed my Draconic Sun and although I didn't connect it at the time, I have been noticing that I'm reviewing the past with more gentleness and acceptance. I'm knowing that things that may have hurt or disappointed me happened, or didn't, for the right reasons.
There's also this amazing triple conjunction coming up, isn't there - 23 May 2009, it's Jupiter, Chiron and Neptune, all on the same degree (I think it's 25 Aquarius without looking it up). That's some power to have sitting next to my Draconic Sun!!
Odd that you should mention Chiron preparing warriors to go into battle. I had a yoga class yesterday - I do 1-1 classes - and I'd requested that we do warrior poses, as I love them and have never been taught properly! That was in honour of Pallas Athene who is in Taurus very near to my revised Asc. And something clicked - a blockage was removed - that has never clicked before.

that jupiter-neptune-chiron deal in may will be on my eros in the 5th!
hints of going more with that eros have been coming for a long time. i've probably mentioned it here a half dozen times.
the other day i submitted a piece of creative writing to an online magazine in LA, the editor there loves my work. (i submitted last year on a whim & he's featured three pieces since then.)
i suggested he publish an MP3 to accompany the text, since i think of the piece as music, and he loved the idea. i recorded it the other day and i think it's go up december 1st. "performing" it was a lot of fun, reminds me i haven't done poetry open mics since i left boston.

On the topic of transiting reverse nodes and BIG changes... Did you notice that Barack Obama had his reverse node conjunction back in Mar 08? Is that BIG or what? LOL! |

Dear aphrodite, On my reverse node conjunction, back in the fall of 2003, I had a car accident.  My son's grandmother had just died four days previously, and we were on our way home from school and work. We had one more stop to make, for some spiritual supplies to ease her transition and adjustment to her new status, when I had to stop suddenly on the highway to avoid hitting a van in front of me. Traffic to my right was at a standstill, as there was a line in the dedicated exit lane. Traffic to the left of me was too heavy and too fast for me to be able to merge into the left lane and keep moving. It was Friday, October 31, 2003. I managed to stop without hitting the van, although I was about six inches from the rear bumper. I turned to my son and said,"Whew! That was close." And then I heard squealing tires and we were hit from behind and rammed into the van. I blacked out momentarily and did not feel the second impact when the Tahoe that hit us was hit from behind and we were hit again. I regained consciousness to hear my son calling "Mom, are you alright?" and to realize that blood was spurting from my bottom lip. My Saturn Vue, which was 11 months old, was $1500.00 from being totaled. I had two herniated discs in my lumbar spine, plus damage in my mid back and in between my shoulders. I have permanent nerve damage in the ulna nerve in both arms, and am prone to sciatica. I was in pain constantly for three years, through chiropractic treatments, pain medication (I only took prescription meds and antidepressants for four months), and acupuncture. The Acupuncture helped more than did anything else. To add insult to injury, my original claim was denied by all of the insurance companies of the three other parties. I had to hire another lawyer and sue in order to get the meager settlement I was awarded in December 2006. When I found my lawyer Saturn was at 10 Leo, within three degrees of my Part of Fortune at 13 Leo, and the north node had just made a conjunction to my venus/sun conjunction. they are at 17/18 Aries and the north node was at 13 Aries. I had just returned home from mailing a complaint to the Georgia Bar about my previous lawyer. I ran home to use the bathroom. I live fairly close to my post office. As soon as I walked into the house I heard a voice in my head say, "Call John". Now John was the guardian of one of my son's classmates. We met because we were both Founding Board members of the charter school our children were attending. John owns and manages properties for a living, and I figured he knew some lawyers. So I called him and explained my situation. Turned out that his domestic partner is a lawyer and he referred me to the man who became my lawyer. I called my new lawyer on October 30, 2005 with less than 24 hours before the statue of limitations was to run out on my case. On the strength of that referral, my lawyer researched my case and took me on, completing all the paperwork and legwork necessary to get my suit filed inside of six hours. I did not actually meet my lawyer until October 2006, a year after I'd hired him. Those were some Big Changes. But they weren't pleasant at all.  |

Hadn't noticed that about Obama, that's some change!!
Pam that's a distressing story - I wonder what other transits were operative around that time? There could also be a Saturn/Leo connection there with the spinal injuries you suffered.
Friends are, without my prompting, noticing changes in me - and a tarot reader said to me yesterday that love would be in my life from next spring. "And spring" she said "is any time from the end of February"! As Aphrodite says, "Yee ha!

Hey ariesmoon, Looking at the chart again for transits and progressions, I found that transiting Saturn was exactly conjuncting progressed Mars in the 8th house (both at 13 Cancer) and both were sextile transiting Jupiter (12 Virgo ), which at the time was in the tenth, approaching my mid-heaven (17 Virgo)and my natal Jupiter (24 virgo), which is in a wide conjunction (seven degrees) to my mid-heaven. What I forgot to mention was that at the time of the accident I had the principal from hell, who had been unsuccessfully trying to fire me for over a year at that point. She used my absences related to the accident as more fuel to her fire. I was able to counter all of her charges and to document all of my doctor's appointments, medical treatments, and the like to such an extent that she had to back off. She later transferred me without my knowledge to the school where I now work. It was the best career move I'd ever made, as I am now at a school where my teaching skills and successes are acknowledged. Even so, Saturn has just gone over my mid-heaven and I am not really feeling the classroom this year. I've been spending much of my time developing a curriculum for the educational component of my new sweetie's organic urban farm. As a result I have a backlog of work to complete today . I will get to that sometime in the next couple of hours, after I finish here and then take another nap. |

Wow Pam! Yes, that was big change for you. Stressful change. I'm glad things have improved! Taken in context with the natal chart and the prevailing transits/progressions, it seems that the Node reversals are about loss in exchange for gain. Not only sudden events, but more of an initiation of long-term, status (life) changing transitions. There is something specific that happens and it is tied to many other things, which eventually culminate in radical change via gains and losses. I have Saturn conjunct SNode natally. NNode in 10th house. My father was diagnosed with emphysema and some other stuff when I had my first Node reversal in November 1971. By August 1973, when SNode transited over my Venus, he became very ill and bedridden until his death. By the time the SNode reached my 8th house Sun in February 1975 he was in a coma. He died a week later. I moved to California to try to save my marriage in 1990. I got a new job in May/June 1990, which exactly coincided with my second reverse Node transit. The inevitable divorce was finalized just as the SNode transited over Venus. When the SNode transited my Sun, the job I took in 1990 culminated in a major career change. Both transit cycles spanned 3 years, 4 months, and 1 week. Both were painful! Nevertheless, the death of my father and my divorce from my (ex)husband cleared the way for a new life. Both changed my destiny (10th house) by ripping the foundation (4th house) out from under me. These were very sad experiences, yet I was relieved too. There is only so much you can take before you have to just let it go and begin anew. This morning I got an e-mail from my real estate agent. Apparently we have an offer coming in for the sale of my property in California. I expect that the offer will be about $150k short of what is owed to the bank. So, this "short-sale" will eventually result in my financial downfall. I know this is not going to be fun, but I am already feeling the relief! I don't care about the money. I've got more important things on my mind and better things to do. It is time to move on, so the house will have to go! The transits help us learn to master our natal aspects to fully achieve our birthright. Barack Obama is a good example, don't you think? He is definitely on a journey of destiny fulfillment! ;D May his Angels not abandon him, for all our sakes! Neptune is in my 4th house right now. The Saturn/Uranus opposition is across the 5th/11th house. My natal Moon is @ 20 PIS in the 5th. This Node transit will again highlight the 4th/10th axis and bring in 8th and 9th house issues. Yes, I am cringing a bit! But Uranus is on my Moon (NOW!) and squaring my 8th house Mercury. The Angels are here all around me! If I do the "work" that Saturn requires my dreams (11th house) will come true. I look forward to March/April 2012 (3 years, 4 months and a week). The journey will be worth it. It is always about the journey, never the destination! So, who needs a house? Home is where the heart is.  Love and light to Everyone, Aphrodite |

Aphrodite,
WOW
I can totally feel that out with the old, and in with the new. I looked up my transits in 1983, roughly half my lifetime ago. The Chiron was over my asc/desc and had just conjuncted by SN. remember I said that I let my hair go natural and started wearing African clothes? Ascendant (how we express ourselves). Chiron didn't actually oppose it's natal place in my chart until August 1992, a year before my son was born and about the time his father and I were beginning to flirt with each other.
Chiron across my ascendent/Descendent axis gave me a total change of the direction of my life on every level. In the year after Chiron opposed it's natal place: I got pregnant, had a baby, lost all my friends, and moved from spiritual tradition to another.
Your changes with the node were no less traumatic than mine, but as you said-out withthe old, to bring in the new.
Check out NACA. They are online and might be able to help with your short sale.
