#mean node

[rosesastrology]

Hi 👋 I was wondering if you can explain one of my placements for me? - Stellium in 8th and in Aries( North Node, True Node and Juno) all of them are in Aries too.

Okay so I should first explain smth.

Stellium: 3 or more planets (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto) in the same house or sign. The nodes don't count. Although some astrologers count them if they're in the middle of the stellium (aka not the first or last 'planet').

Why don't nodes (north & south) count in stelliums?: They're not planets, they're calculated points in the sky based on the position of the Moon relative to the Earth & Sun.

North node, mean node, ascending node, true node... What's the difference?

North node & ascending node are synonyms, they mean the same thing.

The words mean node and true node both refer to the moon's North node (or ascending node, whatever you want to call it).

What's the difference between mean node and true node? The only difference is how they've been calculated. These two can't be more than 2.5° apart from each other but the calculation is different.

Mean node: When astronomers calculate the Mean Node, they take the Moon’s rate of motion and average it out. The resulting position is the Mean Node. The Mean Node is always retrograde.

True node: In theory, the position of the Nodes “wobbles” a bit. Astronomers began to factor this wobble in and called this position the True Node. Although the Nodes proceed through the Zodiac signs in a retrograde direction, the True Node moves in the opposite direction for a few days a month. (The opposite of retrograde is “direct.”) This is very different from the mechanism by which the planets go retrograde.

Which one's better? There's data to support either choice. They're only ever 2.5° apart so it doesn't matter much. If they fall in different signs for you, consider that both signs are valid.

Next: asteroids don't count in stelliums. The only moment you may consider an asteroid in a stellium is if there's already a planetary stellium (3 planets) there.

So as for your question. North node & true node is the same thing (North node is both true & mean, it just refers to the node itself no matter the calculation). So I assume you mean mean & true node in Aries. It's not weird to have both in the same sign, because they'll only ever be 2.5° apart.

North node in Aries, south node in Libra: This life's karma is about oneself. In your past life you've understood others, and understood much more than you've been understood. You were likely a caretaker and natural nurturer. In this life your karma is to take care of yourself and work on your own authenticity within, it's not about others anymore—it's about you. It's about your body, your mind, your appearance. It's about the core of who you are and how you actively present that to the world. It's about learning to stand up for yourself, take care of your body and be assertive about the things you want. It's about desire, about wants, about action. It's direct, rather than passive. It's bold.

With Juno in Aries, you're attracted to more direct people. People who are upfront and open and above all, passionate. People who know what they like and will do anything to get it. Essentially they're the go-getters. Funny, charming and at times loud.

The sign position of your nodes shows the main battle you have to deal with.

The house position shows which area of your life that struggle will take place.

Could you please tell me what it means if I have a north node in Scorpio and south node in Taurus? Thanks!

i have a friend with this node! haha.

it means you need to stop being so stubborn, and you need to learn self discipline. you need to learn how choose constructive change, than to be set in your ways. you need to release whatever it is in your life that causes stagnation, and get rid of non-useful possessions.

you need to enjoy material things in life, with out having to OWN them, and you need to learn how to do things in different ways, instead of doing things in ONE way, which is not always the easiest or best way.

my book basically says that people with an n. node in scorpio can kind of become hoarders, because they put too much emotional value into their possessions and will have troubles letting them go, and the thing with that is, they do it for comfort. when in actuality, they may never have enough items or money for their liking, and this is why they need to let go of that tendency.

it also says in your past life you were used to having nice items around you, and in this life, that tendency may lead you to over eating, or drinking too much.

this also means you may have trouble accepting help from people. it says not only did taurus s. nodes live comfortably but they had to fight by themselves, and work super hard to get to where they were, so subconsciously, you’re used to doing things this way, and wont ask people to help you, even if you DO need peoples help.

i love talking about n. nodes.
