🌙 From Karma to Dharma: A Soul-Centered Introduction to Nodal Astrology

In karmic astrology, the lunar nodes mark the soul’s evolutionary path: the South Node holds our past-life residue, while the North Node signals the direction of spiritual maturity, dharma, and future embodiment. These aren’t theoretical points—they are energetic signatures of memory and longing, coded into the soul’s timeline like bookmarks in the Akashic Records.

🜃 The South Node: Where We’ve Been

The South Node is your soul’s well-worn cloak. It contains behaviors, talents, fears, and patterns formed across lifetimes; some deeply wise, some deeply entrenched. It’s both the comfort zone and the Achilles heel. Clients often feel pulled backward by its magnetic familiarity, repeating old loops until conscious choice intervenes.

🌌 Common South Node themes:

• 🕸 Emotional over-identification with others (Libra SN)
• ⚡ Scattered intellectual energy (Gemini SN)
• 🛡 Self-protective rigidity or material fixation (Capricorn SN, Taurus SN)
• 🔥 Past-life ambition overshadowing nourishment (Aries SN, Leo SN)

🌟 The North Node: Where We’re Going

The North Node is the soul’s invitation. Its sign and house speak to the muscle we're building, the identity we're becoming, and the maturity we're capable of. It’s rarely easy, but it’s always purposeful. Your dharma isn’t found in escape or perfection, but in the slow work of embodiment.

🧭 North Node themes:

• 🧍♂️ Learning to stand alone in truth (Aries NN)
• 💞 Embracing relational harmony (Libra NN)
• 🪨 Building emotional safety and rootedness (Taurus NN, Cancer NN)
• 🔮 Trusting cosmic wisdom and surrender (Sagittarius NN, Pisces NN)
• 👁 Becoming a visionary for the collective (Aquarius NN)

🔮 How We Work With Them

In the Mountain Freedom's Medical Astrology framework, the Nodes function as axis guides for blend selection, timing rituals, and soul archetype coaching. Each nodal axis suggests specific herbs, affirmations, and seasonal transitions that support karmic release and dharmic embodiment.

🌿 Examples:

• Scorpio NN / Taurus SN → Spikenard + Myrrh for transformative release, guided rituals for letting go
• Virgo NN / Pisces SN → Lemon + Frankincense for nervous system clarity and sacred structure
• Capricorn NN / Cancer SN → Laurel + Vetiver for karmic maturity and emotional resilience

🕯 Ritual Integration

We pair nodal cycles with lunar transits, eclipse windows, and client coaching prompts such as:

• “What part of you feels pulled back into an old story?”
• “How can you honor this past gift without reenacting its burden?”
• “Where is your North Node inviting new behavior, even if it feels unfamiliar?”

Whether in readings, blend tags, or group mentoring, the Nodes remind us that every incarnation is both a healing and a homecoming. From karmic density to dharmic possibility, your chart is a map, and the lunar nodes are your compass.
