Find Your North Node and South Node Sign

What are the North Node and South Node?

The north node (represented by a horseshoe-like symbol: ☊) and south node (represented by an upside down horseshoe-like symbol: ☋) are always exactly opposite each other by sign, degree, and house. The nodes are not actual bodies but points in the moon’s orbit, and the signs the nodes are “in” indicate what signs the eclipses will be in for an approximately 18-month period. For example, if the north and south node in your birth chart are in Taurus and Scorpio, the eclipses were in Scorpio and Taurus during the 18-month period during which you were born. It’s worth mentioning, too, that it’s not exactly that the nodes “determine” the eclipses – it’s more that the eclipses are what determine the signs the nodes are in.

Throughout life, we tend to ricochet between the north and south node. They represent a high-strung polarity that we’re learning to better balance, a polarity that is always in flux, wobbling and swinging like a pendulum. Neither the north node nor south node is whole or stable on its own; they need each other, and thus it is not necessary to or leave behind the south node and go into only the north node. Instead, we can focus on balancing them and embodying the best of both. We want to merge the head and the tail of the dragon to create wholeness.

What signs are the North and South Node in?

Below is a chart of the True Node from 1899-2049.

Find the period containing your birth date or the date you’re looking for on the table below to determine the sign of the north and south node. Note that this table uses the True Node calculation, not the Mean Node. I generally find the True Node to be most accurate.

If the date you’re looking for happens to fall on a transition day, it’s recommended to create an account on astro.com and input the date there.
