Transiting North Node in Virgo 1 by WooWoo Hi Mark and other Folks, We discussed a year or so ago what the North Node meant in everyday life. Well I feel the transition from Libra to Virgo is happening. Or is that an Ingress. I feel the North node signs light or pours energy where it passes and if it conjuncts a planet then it amplifies that energy. We've got Venus followed by Mars then Jupiter so we should have plenty of time to observe it in action!! Any comments about which calculation to use. The mean node? H Quote Mon Nov 02, 2015 7:32 pm
2 by Mark Hi Rocko, Since you raised have this issue I have decided to share this article by Steven Forrest which is very informative on the basic astronomy involved and discusses the issue of Mean vs True Nodes. http://www.forrestastrology.com/resourc ... true-nodes Perso-Arabic, Indian and European Traditional astrologers only consider the Mean Node. On a purely pragmatic basis based on years of consultation experience with clients Steven Forrest finds the mean node more reliable too: I would never be dogmatic about it, but I work with the mean node myself. My reasons are practical more than theoretical. Here is what I have learned and experienced. Occasionally, someone sits with me who has the mean and true nodes separated, as is typical, by a distance of only a degree or so. But for this person that difference is enough to put the two nodes in different signs. Maybe the mean lunar south node is in 29EII 37' and the true one is in 0Ea 43', for example. I view such people as precious?or at least as excellent lab rats! When I was trying to sort all this out I have told such people both of the possible karmic stories and asked them which one felt right. I also compared the two versions with my subjective impressions of them as individuals and with the shapes of their outward lives. Far more valuable than any technical astronomical argument, these human truths are astrology?s Supreme Court. For me, more often than not, it is the mean lunar node that has carried the day.

4 by WooWoo So far I don't feel I'm picking anything up on this even though it falls exactly on my Moon and on the cusp of the second house in Virgo. It will nearly exactly oppose my Jupiter. Should be powerful. Anybody else scanning the horizon for an incoming North Node Jupiter conjunction ? Due around early Jan. H Quote Thu Dec 03, 2015 9:37 pm
