Good morning, or afternoon in the UK and Europe; evening in Australia:
As of this writing just before 8:30 am EDT, the Moon is moving through late Aries; and it’s precisely square the lunar nodes at about 27+ Cancer/Capricorn. The lunar nodes are points in a chart that are treated like planets by most astrological traditions, but which are are actually just locations along the zodiac where there is no physical object; just an event coming. That event would be the Moon passing north of south of the celestial equator (the equator, extended into space). When the Sun is there (which it is currently not), the event would also be an eclipse. Remember, though: the nodes are associated with eclipses.
The nodes in most traditions represent something that sounds like ‘the past’ (Ketu or the South Node) and ‘the future’ (Rahu or the North Node). It’s actually not that simple; it’s more like the Nodes represent two points of incarnation and what holds us onto the cosmic physical plane: an attachment to what has happened in the past (karma) and to our concept of the future and what guides us there; and what motivates us to the actions and choices we make (dharma).
Think of karma as “the collected actions and consequences of the past, which can be resolved by awareness and action” and dharma as “acting as if to hold the world together.”
Hinduism has its problems and has caused a lot of problems. However, it also includes some useful spiritual technology, and one piece of that are the concepts of karma and dharma, which are missing from Western spirituality or psychology in any kind of practical or tangible concept. Christianity boiled it down to “if you’re good you go to heaven,” which gives us about as much guidance as telling a kid “if you’re good you get cotton candy” and from that expecting him to figure out all of ethics, his place in the world and his life path.
