The north lunar node in Vedic astrology is called Rahu. If you represent the connection of the South and North Nodes, then Rahu is the head of the serpent. It is figuratively separated from the body and therefore represents that quality of a person that cannot be controlled. Rahu is responsible for the area where the main growth zone is located. What is shelved, what you don’t want to do, but it’s better not to take it at all, is the sphere of the North Node.
The lunar nodes have changed their axis from Leo - Aquarius. On November 7, 2018, the transition of the North Node to Cancer took place, and the South Node to Capricorn. In this position, they will remain until mid-May 2020 and will make an impact on the mass subconscious. What is the main meaning of the North Node transit in Cancer?

About knowledge and gifts that come from a past life (South Node), about mistakes that have already been made and that need to be overcome (alsoSouth Node), and where you need to direct your steps in this life, the area where you need to get lessons (North Node). Karmic knots give a direct answer to the question: "Why are we here?" Although, of course, it is necessary to study the entire natal chart in full in order to complete the information.
