Frequently Asked Questions
What is the North Node in astrology?
The North Node is the point where the Moon's path crosses the Sun's path moving north. Symbolically, it represents unfamiliar growth — the qualities, people, and experiences that stretch you into who you are becoming.
What is the South Node?
The South Node sits directly opposite your North Node and represents innate talents and past-pattern comfort zones. It is not "bad" — it is simply where you are graduating from.
How long does the North Node stay in a sign?
About 18 months. Because it moves slowly, your birth year largely determines your nodal sign — which is why exact birth time is less critical for nodes than for the Ascendant.
Does my North Node tell me my career?
It describes a direction of growth rather than a job title. Paired with your Midheaven and houses (see the Career Astrology Calculator), it helps clarify work that feels meaningful rather than merely doable.
