When a new student of astrology learns the basics of the art, she inevitably encounters the
lunar nodes. Not really planets, the nodes of the Moon are mathematical points in space,
responsible for creating the “shadow” effect on the Sun and Moon during eclipses.
Depending on which system the student is studying, the nodes get interpreted in varying
ways with some authors laying great emphasis on them in chart interpretation, and others
practically ignoring them altogether.
In Jyotish, the ancient astrological system of India, the lunar nodes are major points in the
natal chart and are closely looked at, especially in their transit movements through the birth
chart. As opposed to Western astrological systems which tend to view the nodes as
favorable influences, Jyotish regards the lunar nodes as malefic forces, responsible for
chronic disease, loss, suffering, “fated” cataclysmic events, and other maladies.
Let us take a close look at how the nodes, known as Rahu (north node) and Ketu (south
node), are viewed in Vedic astrology. It is hoped that all students of the Divine Science will
look at the nodes more seriously and cautiously in the future when analyzing charts. It is
also hoped that this article will end some confusion over just what the nodes are and that
they are, indeed, baleful cosmic influences that continually plague humanity.
THE NODES IN OTHER SYSTEMS
In Western astrology, there is a strong tendency to view the lunar nodes as having
something to do with one’s karma—the accumulated lessons of one’s past lives. In this view,
popularized by such authors as Martin Schulman of the Karmic Astrology series, the north
node represents what we should be striving towards in this life time, a sort of karmic goal
for us to reach in our lives. The south node is viewed as the past that we need to leave
behind and not hold onto. Proponents of this view contend that, by looking at the sign and
house placements of the nodes, one’s karmic past and destiny can be ascertained. Curiously,
the nodes are given rather strong importance in natal chart interpretation, but are seldom
looked at closely in transit analysis of the here and now of one’s life.
In the Uranian and Cosmobiological systems of Germany, the nodes are interpreted as
having a lot to do with interpersonal relationships, rather than karma. Alfred Witte, founder
of the Uranian astrological system, strongly propounded this view. The nodes, north and
south, were regarded as key in determining how social a person was and, as opposed to the
American view, looked at in transit analysis. Aspects from the nodes to other planets would
indicate where and of what nature one’s relationships would take. For example, a Venus-
Node contact would indicate a romantic relationship, or an ability to socialize well with
others.
In the Vedic astrological system, however, while the nodes may have something to do with
one’s karma and may involve relationships with others, they are inherently viewed as evil
cosmic influences. This will become crystal clear in the discussion and chart analysis’
which will follow.
