So the North Node is perceived as new things, new groups of people, new friends that have an impact on the individual, the making of memories which will later be held as important. In addition, the individual can become conscious of a required change to the life path as this point receives a transit or progression. The Dragon s Tail or Cauda Draconis are other names for the South Node. Since the North and South Nodes form an axis, progressions and transits to the South Node will also be occurring to the North Node. When a planet makes a conjunction to this point, better results are achieved if it is read as conjunction to the South Node rather than an opposition to the North Node.
Issues come from old family history, or things from the past.
The past seems to swamp the present, old illness could flare up, friends one has not seen for twenty years suddenly appear. Lost or forgotten photos, paperwork, people, and illness can all come to the surface as this point receives a conjunction from a dynamic planet. D j vu experiences, meeting of strangers that you feel you have known before, can also take place. The Eagle and the Lark by Bernadette Brady. Astrology Article Index InnerSelf.
