The natal chart of a person is a unique pattern of planets, signs and houses. In addition to the planets, astrologers consider the position of the lunar nodes in the natal chart. Vedic astrology attaches great importance to them. The north lunar node and south lunar node are the intersection points of the Moon's orbit and the ecliptic (apparent motion) of the Sun. The nodes do not have their own energy, like the planets, but these are places in the sky that have the energy of the interaction of the Sun and the Moon during periods of eclipse. Vedic astrology also calls the ascending (north) lunar node Rahu, the head of the Dragon, and the setting (south) node - Ketu, the tail of the Dragon. During periods of eclipse, the Dragon, as it were, eats one of the luminaries, depriving it of energy. The nodes in the natal chart were considered unfavorable objects, especially if some planet stood next to them. Such a planet was deprived of its own power, the action of the nodes was identified with the service to society according to the functions of this planet.
Karma
Even in ancient times, the inhabitants of India drew a parallel betweenlunar nodes and the karma of a person, as well as his subsequent reincarnations. The south node was identified with the experience accumulated in past lives, and the north node - with new aspirations in this incarnation and the purpose of the personality. The position of the south node indicates with what karma a person came into this world. The north node in the natal chart indicates what karma needs to be earned and in what areas to develop, what is better to make efforts for the sake of successful implementation. It all depends on what kind of natal chart, and what signs and houses the lunar nodes fall into.
As a guide to moving forward, the North Node of the Moon (NLN) is interpreted differently in each of the 12 houses, as well as in different signs. The sign where the SLU is located will show which planet's energy (the planet of the ruler of the sign) needs to be developed, and the house will show in what situations this potential is best acquired. If the energy of the sign of the South Lunar Node (SLU) is close and understandable, it was given initially, then the energy of the SLU is given with difficulty. Likewise, the situations at home where YLU stands are comfortable, and the situations at home where SL stands are straining - they require development.
Development
It is conditionally possible to distinguish three categories of development according to SLN:
- If the situations of the house and the sign where the SLU stands are perceived easily by a person, then the person understood his purpose correctly and moves towards the development of new experience. As a rule, in the natal chart in that house there are several more helper planets and the sign is somehow highlighted. For example, when the 7th house in Aquarius is filled, where SLN is also located, a person works as a consultant -astrologer. The element of air is strong, the 7th house is strong, a person easily advises others.
- If the situations at home and the sign where the SLN stands are straining, but a person makes efforts to learn something new, tries to get out of the comfort zone of the YLU position - then he is on the right path of development, but it will not be easy to go through. For example, SLU is in the 7th house in Aquarius, but the 5th house is filled with planets. The man chose the profession of an astrologer-consultant, but the workload with children hinders development.
- The situations of the house and the sign where the SLU stands are generally alien and uninteresting. A person, even when he finds himself in a situation necessary for development, turns on the reverse gear and retreats towards his Yulu, into his comfortable familiar state. For example, SLN in the 7th house is in Aquarius, and the completed 1st house is in Leo and Yulu. This means that a person is destined to be an astrological consultant and work with people, but personal creativity outweighs, and the person is not interested in others. After all, the position in the 7th house involves situations in which you need to learn to interact with other people and fight selfish inclinations, as this is the house of equal relationships and marriage. Sometimes it is difficult to understand your destiny, guided only by the position of the Lunar Nodes. Especially if some planet badly aspects them and interferes. It is imperative to look at the entire natal chart in order to see the overall picture of a person's life path.
Scorpio and Pluto
This is the home of Scorpio and the symbolic ruler of this house is Pluto. He represents passionrisk, mystery, the desire to own and manage the inaccessible. It is associated with manipulation and fraud with other people's money, control of the crowd, the energy of the masses, internal transformations, as well as deep crises and radical changes. The one who works out his house of Scorpio knows how to cope with stress and use it for his own good. Planets in the 8th house get the opportunity to fully manifest themselves in appropriate situations (mostly stressful episodes). For example, the Moon in the 8th house implies constant introspection, anxiety disorders, acute emotional perception in general. The holders of this position of the Moon like to tickle their nerves and experience unusual excitement, they tend to get into various situations on the verge of survival. Scorpio is a female water fixed sign. Therefore, emotions tend to accumulate here. Such people may be interested in the otherworldly and mystical, associated with death or birth, doing something in the spirit of the mysterious Scorpio. The same goes for the Ascending Node.

Men and women
Since the 8th house is identified with Scorpio - a female fixed water sign, the North Node in the 8th house in the female natal chart looks better than the North Node in the 8th house in the male natal chart. The 8th house of the natal chart is also the second house from the seventh in the system of derivative houses, that is, it is the house of the partner's finances.

A person who has comprehended the difficult energy of Scorpio,can learn to sublimate energies, as well as transfer it from one type to another. For example, for the highest results in sports, a wrestler concentrates and accumulates internal energy without wasting it on love affairs and emotional contacts.
North node and other planets
When considering the natal chart, you need to pay attention to the connection of the Lunar Nodes with Mars, Saturn and Pluto. The proximity of Mars - the red planet to the North Node strengthens it, saturates it with energy and increases the level of aggression of the individual. Stressful episodes associated with the death or material superiority of other people can really hurt. Saturn slows down the development of the North Node in the early stages of life due to self-doubt. It develops patience and self-organization. And Pluto's excessive insatiability can turn a person into a possessed vampire.
Sun or Moon in the 8th house indicates that the father or mother will leave the child an inheritance. Mercury feeds thoughts on highly spiritual topics.
