What do the Lunar Nodes represent?
I’ve written about the Lunar nodes previously here (South Node in the 11th house), here (Nodes in Gemini and Sagittarius), and here (the people we have karmic relationships with) if You want a different explanation of what they mean.
But for the purpose of this blog post – the Lunar Nodes are the pulse of society.
North Node – where our attention as a human society goes.
South Node – our attention gets taken away from these areas but psychological processes underneath are still ongoing. There is a purging that happens wherever the South Node goes.
