The North and South Node are ALWAYS Retrograde (Rx). That is why their transit begins at 29 degrees 59 minutes and ends at 00 degrees 00 minutes. You will see from the calendar below that there are dates when the Nodes go back and forth over a certain degree for a period of time. This is not necessarily going Retrograde, then Direct, then Retrograde, then Direct. This is actually a wobble that you see. The wobble makes it 'appear' as though it is going Retrograde, Direct, Retrograde, Direct, thereby keeping the Nodes in a holding pattern. It's during those holding patterns that I find significant because for some reason or another, the Universe wants us to hold. Note how this occurs at 22, 21, 22, 21 degrees. Also note what this energy does for you, to you or with you during the holding pattern dates. Check the area in your personal natal chart for the area ruled by Libra and Aries so you can see where these degrees impact you the most.

I wrote an e-book called, "Understanding and Using the North and South Node." This e-Book includes Nodal meanings, Nodal basics, Nodal positions and what happens when a certain planet interacts with the North or South Node in your natal chart. I have also included a calendar of dates so you can see where the North and South Node were on a certain date. The e-Book is only $9.99 and personally emailed to you, by me via e-mail, as I do not do automated downloads because I find that type of service very impersonal. What can I say, I am a North Node Virgo and appreciate personal service, even in cyberspace.
