Lunar Nodes: The Compass of Your Destiny and Past Karma
In Vedic astrology, the lunar nodes are called Rahu and Ketu: the dragon's head and tail. They are the points where the moon's orbit crosses the sun's ecliptic. Symbolically, they are the most accurate indicators of your soul's purpose in this incarnation.
The South Node: Your Karmic Comfort Zone
The South Node represents your innate talents, but also your vices and what you have already repeated ad nauseam in other lives (or in your childhood). It is that place where you feel comfortable, but where you no longer grow. It is your "past."
The North Node: Your Life Mission
As Jan Spiller teaches in her masterpiece Astrology for the Soul, the North Node is your "happiness point." It is the area of life that is difficult, strange, and even terrifying to you, but it is precisely where your greatest expansion resides. If the South Node is the comfortable sofa where you fall asleep, the North Node is the journey to an unknown land that makes you feel alive. Following your North Node is not easy, but it is the only way to feel that your life has real meaning.
