The lunar nodes in practice
- March 26, 2024
Curious about what to do about the nodes in your chart judgments? You’re not alone. This webinar is dedicated to the use of the lunar nodes in practice. We’ll consider what the nodes are astronomically, and the many uses we find recorded in historical texts. The bulk of our discussion will focus on modern case studies where the nodes relay crucial information to us as astrologers. It can be tempting to overemphasize mystical devices like the nodes, so we’ll also explore methods of determining how much weight to put on them in interpretation.

This local horizon still, courtesy of Stellarium software, shows the sky on 6 August 2023 at 10:00am EDT in Brooklyn, NY. At a high level, this video shows how the visual of the local horizon is mapped onto an astrological wheel. Note that the midheaven is always found at right angles to the horizon, and that these two axes create four quadrants in our sky (two above the horizon, shown, and two below the horizon, not shown). The intermediate house cusps are trisections of each quadrant (not drawn exactly to scale in the video demonstration).
