the north node and south node are both important components of a natal chart.
they are not planets, but points on the ecliptic where the moon crosses the sun’s path. the nodes are on an axis and therefore are always opposite each other.
the south node reveals the gifts we bring into this lifetime and our comfort zone. some may experience childhood through the south node leanings. the south node indicates the path our souls have experienced many times, and therefore it brings a sense of familiarity.
the north node is the karmic path our soul chose to take in this lifetime. the north represents the learning our souls have to undertake to step out of our comfort zone. the karmic path set for us is not meant to be easy. the north node indicates the path which will feel spiritually satisfying and fulfilled.
