Here Be Dragons: The Nodes of the Moon
with Lindsay Gladstone
FOUNDATION LEVEL
Acting as a compass for the karmic evolution of the soul, the axis of the lunar nodes is often referred to as ‘The Path of Destiny’. In ancient times this celestial dragon evoked awe in priests and astronomers alike, as at eclipses, it was seen to temporarily devour the Sun or the Moon from the heavens.
In Western astrology the Dragon’s Head (North Node) is seen to promote evolution and growth of hitherto untapped potential of the individual, while the Dragon’s Tail (South Node), embodies primal behaviour patterns that are brought into this physical incarnation, bringing with them a sense of familiarity and security.
The recognition of this combination of past and future, experienced in the present, is key to one’s development of well-being and wholeness. Contemplating its symbolism we will look at example charts that describe the expression of this powerful axis.
