вЂDuring the UranusвЂ“Pluto conjunction of the mid-to-late 1960s and very early вЂ70s, Theodor Landscheidt initially presented a paper (1965) and then a workshop (1971) on the nature of the planetary nodes. The study of planetary nodes is relatively new. The Sun does not have nodes as it never crosses the ecliptic, and neither does the Earth as it is what makes the ecliptic by its path, but every other planet in the solar system has a south and a north node. The south node of the planet marks the point where the planet crosses to go south of the ecliptic, and the north node the point where the planet crosses to go north of the ecliptic. So like the Moon, they cross the ecliptic in two places during their journey around the Sun. Though they donвЂ™t orbit the Earth, but all orbit the Sun just like the Earth does, none of them travels on the exact same degree as the ecliptic. In Verdic astrology they are Rahu and Ketu, the dragons head and tail.ДЄll of the planets have nodes like the Moon has.

In evolutionary astrology, Jeffrey Wolf Green named the Lunar Nodes вЂњthe evolutionary intentionвЂќ, what the soul has intended to learn and develop through current incarnation. When we then zoom out from the ego or I, to the developmental journey in a lifetime of that ego or I, that is when we begin to grasp the meaning of the lunar nodes. The position of, and aspects to, the moon in a chart, holds information of the ego or I, the mother, and the habitual emotional state. We emerge from her, and to us, she is the whole world as well as part of ourselves, until we have developed ourselves as separate I's. The mother is always crucial for the healthy development of our I. The Moon also rules needs, food, home, family, rest, regeneration, genes, the womb, and the mother. Our I is a mystery to us, though we have lived through every moment and emotion that has crystallized into this emotional body of ours with its habits and desires. They are part of the totality that is the I. The I was officially agreed to be real, and of great matter though not made of matter, through the work of Sigmund Freud who wrote in German and called it 'Das Ich' (вЂњthe IвЂќ) which was translated into the Latin word for I вЂњEgoвЂќ, leading to some confusion for people who donвЂ™t speak Latin.Д®ven the parts we forget are still there. Our I places each of us as center of the universe. While the Earth and the other planets of our Solar System evolve around the Sun, the Moon evolves around the Earth.

Our sense of self is closely connected to how we feel, ruled by the Moon, our closest heavenly body, and ruler of development, childhood and the subconscious I. In psychological terms 'the formation of the Ego' or 'the formative years'. The Ego or I, is an emotional body formed in early childhood. Imagine that confrontation with the terrible unknown, with itвЂ™s paralysing manifestations of tragedy and malevolence is necessary to catalyse both wisdom and maturity.В Imagine finally, that human consciousness plays some central, and as of yet poorly understood role, in the reality of the cosmos, at least as necessary observer.вЂќ -Jordan Peterson вЂњImagine that acceptance of vulnerability and ignorance is the precondition for growth.
