The Lunar Nodes and the Part They Play in Eclipses

by Robert Wilkinson

Today we revisit very important factors in Astrology that are even more significant given we are in between two eclipses portending somewhat radical effects, given their aspects. We have 2 Solar and 2 Lunar Eclipses each year. An Eclipse occurs when the New and Full Moons conjunct the North and South Nodes of the Moon, and set events into motion for months and years to come.

For your perusal, here's The Lunar Nodes In Astrology Pt. 1 - The North Node and South Node, Why are They Important, and How Do They Work? Tomorrow I'll post Part 2 which offers insights into these powerful Astrological indicators and sketches how they work in a chart . Enjoy!

Hi Robert,
Greetings from NJ. Hope all is well, as I've been reading your posts and can clearly see how very busy you have been. Question: how does an eclipse affect the nodes if it is occurring on your natal node axis? This solar eclipse is very close to my south node at 3 degrees Virgo. Any insight? Thanks!

Hi Wendy - Actually, you'll be more profoundly affected by the recent Lunar Eclipse, which fell exactly on your Nodes. You're now ready to let go of some things while demonstrating your Pisces in practical, effective, precise, and mature ways, thanks to Saturn on your SN. The Nodes return to their natal positions every 18-19 years mas o menos, and I believe them to be times when we re-set where we're developing, and can demonstrate those qualities through the SN. Like we re-up our line of evolutionary development, and let go of old SN ways of demonstrating them, while showing what we've learned the past 9 years since the Nodes were reversed.

Hi Robert, Thank you so much for all of the wonderful information you share. I seek your guidance about the lunar eclipse that took place on Aug. 28. The eclipse hit my IC at 3 Pisces. I also have my natal Saturn at 3 Pisces opposing my natal Mercury at 3 Virgo. Can you talk about the significance of an eclipse hitting the IC? I am also aware that Saturn will stimulate this degree in mid-October when it hits 3 Virgo. What should I prepare for? Thanks.

Today i've revisited a very important factor in Astrology that are even more significant ....portending somewhat radical effects.

..per quote...i just recently saw the movie Flight 93.

It hits me. like a truck. moments of tears or things unsaid. right there at the point of truth. not gonna lie, the whole plot of the movie outlines how important life is at the moment. outweighs the war behind it. that doesn't justify much.

its the bomb of my time. the fight of my life. the nerve exposed. i won't ever forget septemeber 11, the same as most of us on the east coast. and after that time.

a moment of silence on behalf of those who have been lost, loved and lived through.

amen.
