Sun, February 23rd: Acyuta-bhava Dasa (Adam Elenbaas)
Ancient Astrology and the Nodes of the Moon
Most students in modern astrology are taught that the north node of the Moon points to the lessons we are supposed to learn or qualities to be cultivated in this lifetime, whereas the south node of the Moon represents past gifts/lessons and habits that we are currently trying to release. But it turns out that this use of the nodes is relatively new and that the nodes of the Moon were used very differently by ancient astrologers in both the east and the west. In this talk, we will, therefore, explore the traditional use and philosophy surrounding the nodes of the Moon by ancient astrologers, while also demonstrating some of the practical ways in which the traditional use of the nodes can be meaningfully incorporated into a modern birth chart reading.
