Working with the Nodes Carol Willis The Moon's nodes represent the polarity and balance of the spiritual and the worldly. You will tend to have the most affinity and success with the lunar node closest to your Sun.  If your Sun is exactly square to the lunar axis, then you have equal affinity with each.   With appreciation to Carol Willis, MA  for these thoughts and for the following meanings of Rahu and Ketu.

Meaning of the North Node (Rahu) Materiality, worldliness Challenges, trying, efforting, struggle, tenacity, holding one's own Developing talents and willingness to operate in an area, and do this successfully Persistence over time, often best done by applying self, then backing off, then going at it again after regrouping, over and over as needed, having a more neutral and willing attitude about outcomes and being less attached to worldly outcomes in the area of the North Node

Meaning of the South Node (Ketu) Spirituality Metaphysics and esotericism Renouncing the "world", i.e. renouncing worldliness Releasing things, persons, and situations on the material plane, lightening the material load, simplifying Gifts and talents that are easily available, easily unfolded and expressed further Past life connections, old familiarity

Nodal Cycles The nodes stay in the SAME SIGN for about one year. They move into a NEW HOUSE roughly every two hours.
