Sun Square North Node

For a stunning example of the Sun square North Node, read on!
“If I were king, I would reform an abuse which effectively cuts back half of humanity. I would have women participate in all human rights, and above all, those of the mind.”
Emilie Du Chatelet – The Woman Science Forgot
People who defied convention in previous centuries lend us strength today. Futuristic people, living ahead of their times were often born with the Sun, Moon or inner planets square to the Moon’s Nodes. Sagittarius Emilie Du Chatelet was Sun Square North Node.
She was widely known as the illicit lover of Voltaire, the muck-raking multiple Scorpio polemicist. But her real strength was as a genius mathematician and advocate for women’s rights. Her accomplishments were during the 18th Century when women were not active in public life, let alone politics and academia.
Told she could not study Mathematics (too unfeminine) Emilie studied it anyway. Then she became a physicist, philosopher, and author.
Some Say She Invented Financial Derivatives
She lobbied hard for girls secondary school education, wrote a critical analysis of the entire Bible and self-published a book on “happiness for women.”
She also devised “an ingenious financing arrangement” to pay off her gambling debts. That’s SO Sagittarius. Some credit her with having invented financial derivatives.
Tragically, this super-gifted and audacious woman died in childbirth at Uranus Opposition, in her early 40s.
Here, the Sun square Node delineation from my Astral DNA report.
Sun square North Node
Sun square North Node people are often at a crossroads but they like it that way. The path of least resistance is not for them. You see this aspect in people who have a clear heritage or established destiny that they thwart in order to be themselves. They’re not casual. They are super-aware of how choices affect one’s life.
Sun Square North Node people think in terms of maps and navigation. They’re unsure of themselves until they realize that constantly checking their direction and identity is a strength.
Paolo Coehlo is a Sun-Square-Node person: “Stop being who you were and become who you are.” It is an everyday practice for them.
my coment
I have been reading up on this. My Sun and Mars are square the nodes and in opposition to one another. Mars retrograde in a man makes indecisive and uncertain of masculinity, weak, as youngest of several brothers I get that. The nodal message here in above post is iconoclastic, flattering. Elsewhere I read you missed out last life, skipped a step to get ahead, were in a hurry and must slow down in this life to learn to deal with both nodes, i.e. past and future, not get ahead of yourself. So I am being very thorough in spiritual matters and skeptical of book learning, advice and I also read ambition is useless as one gets nowhere. Mars square nodes one learns from competitors and sun square from father needed lessons. I suppose the houses, 12 and 6 for SN and NN and sag/ gemini are important as well. Coming from meditative seclusion and focus on theory and going towards a very practical servant relationship will be ego destroying for the haughty spiritual type of a past life. I am learning to mix it up in this life. But spirituality can be just as heavy by being with others and getting your hands dirty and getting the body tired. So my nodal return transpiring brings this into perspective. I see where it is all moving. Indian astrology has this period ruled by jupiter/ north node until next fall when it switches to Saturn 'Dasha' until I am 75. This will be deepening, stabilizing as Saturn is very strong in my Jyotish horoscope( vargottama) and final dispositor or ruler of all the planets. So maybe this will mean Saturn, senior citizen planet will fit naturally into a period of refinement and depth as I have learned so much under Jupiter Dasha last couple decades spiritually and come now prepared for such things ss Saturn return.
Presidential Nodal Returns
https://karenchristino.com/presidential-nodal-returns/
Vice Presidential candidate Kamala Harris will have her third Nodal return on September 17, 2020. Donald Trump will experience his fourth Nodal return on November 10, 2020. With both candidates experiencing this near-exact aspect this fall, what, if anything, does it bode for the election?
Ken Negus did an in-depth study of these returns and found that we often experience important new beginnings, endings or even sharp turns when the Lunar Nodes return to their natal places at the ages 19, 38, 56-7 and 76. Some encounter major transformations and others may find various areas of their lives affected. Ken researched these cycles in the lives of the presidents and confirmed that at the returns, some of the notable events included appointment to major political office.
I attended Ken’s lecture on this topic in 1996 and will summarize his findings.
The Moon’s nodal cycle of 18.6 years overlaps the 19-year Metonic Sun-Moon phase cycle (though they diverge noticeably as the years go on). Ken found that, like Harris and Trump, almost half of the 41 presidents he studied had angular Nodes. This makes sense since the Sun represents the ego and the Moon the public. It may also explain their ambition for public service (since any random group should only have the Nodes angular about a third of the time).
At the age of 38, Ken found that 17 of the 41 presidents studied (about 41%) were elected or appointed to important political offices. But the returns at 56-57 were the most impressive, perhaps as they are a prelude to the Saturn return. 7 of the 41 began their first presidential terms at this age, and 3 went on to a second term (making for a total of almost 25% who were elected president on a Nodal return).
4 completed their presidencies and 4 more were elected to other offices – Vice President or Congress. On the other hand, another 4 of the 41 studied died in office! Ultimately, about 61% experienced significant turning points in their political careers at their third return years.
Ken concluded that the half returns were also notable. At age 66½ there were more negative overtones, including difficult terms of office, the decision not to run, defeats, and the death of a candidate or their spouse. Abraham Lincoln and Vice President Andrew Johnson were born only 45 days apart, with natal Nodes separated by about 1¼ degrees. Johnson took over as president after Lincoln was assassinated near both of their half-Nodal returns. Jimmy Carter lost his bid for re-election. (John F. Kennedy was also killed at a half-Nodal return at the young age of 46.)
By the fourth Nodal return at the age of 76, most presidents were in retirement, but often experienced other significant life events. Thomas Jefferson founded the University of Virginia and James Madison became rector of the same institution. John Quincy Adams intensified his political activities, chairing a committee to impeach President Tyler (which did not go forward). Harry Truman was involved in John F. Kennedy’s campaign.
Can we draw any conclusions from the Nodal returns for the 2020 election? There’s a likelihood that both Harris and Trump will each have important career transitions. It makes the most logical sense to me that Harris will be elected and Trump will be voted out of the White House. Harris’ Ascendant trines her dignified Saturn conjunct the 10th house, showing the slow and steady progress of her career, and this would be the next logical step for her. While Trump’s Sun conjunct his North Node and Uranus in the 10th indicates spectacular achievements with equally striking reversals, which would be in keeping with him losing support.
But the Nodal return is just one element to consider, and we need corroboration elsewhere to arrive at a definitive judgment.

Full moons in 2020
The moon shows its full face to Earth about once a month. Well, sort of.
Most of the time, the full moon isn't perfectly full. We always see the same side of the moon, but part of it is in shadow. Only when the moon, Earth and the sun are perfectly aligned is the moon 100% full, and that alignment produces a lunar eclipse.
And sometimes — once in a blue moon — the moon is full twice in a month (or four times in a season, depending on which definition you prefer). [The Moon: 10 Surprising Facts]
The next full moon is a blue moon, and occurs on Saturday, Oct. 31 at 10:49 a.m. EDT (14:49 UTC), but the moon will appear full the night before and after its peak to the casual stargazer. October's first full moon occured on Oct. 1 and was the Harvest Moon, though it has many other nicknames by different cultures.

Additional full moon names
Many cultures have given distinct names to each month's full moon. The names were applied to the entire month in which each occurred. The Farmer's Almanac lists several names that are commonly used in the United States. There are some variations in the moon names, but in general, the same ones were used among the Algonquin tribes from New England on west to Lake Superior. European settlers followed their own customs and created some of their own names.
Other Native American people had different names. In the book "This Day in North American Indian History" (Da Capo Press, 2002), author Phil Konstantin lists more than 50 native peoples and their names for full moons. He also lists them on his website, AmericanIndian.net.
Amateur astronomer Keith Cooley has a brief list of the moon names of other cultures, including Chinese and Celtic, on his website. For example,
Chinese moon names:
| Month | Name | Month | Name |
| January | Holiday Moon | July | Hungry Ghost Moon |
| February | Budding Moon | August | Harvest Moon |
| March | Sleepy Moon | September | Chrysanthemum Moon |
| April | Peony Moon | October | Kindly moon |
| May | Dragon Moon | November | White Moon |
| June | Lotus Moon | December | Bitter Moon |
Full moon names often correspond to seasonal markers, so a Harvest Moon occurs at the end of the growing season, in September or October, and the Cold Moon occurs in frosty December. At least, that's how it works in the Northern Hemisphere.
In the Southern Hemisphere, where the seasons are switched, the Harvest Moon occurs in March and the Cold Moon is in June. According to Earthsky.org, these are common names for full moons south of the equator.
January: Hay Moon, Buck Moon, Thunder Moon, Mead Moon
February (mid-summer): Grain Moon, Sturgeon Moon, Red Moon, Wyrt Moon, Corn Moon, Dog Moon, Barley Moon
March: Harvest Moon, Corn Moon
April: Harvest Moon, Hunter’s Moon, Blood Moon
May: Hunter’s Moon, Beaver Moon, Frost Moon
June: Oak Moon, Cold Moon, Long Night’s Moon
July: Wolf Moon, Old Moon, Ice Moon
August: Snow Moon, Storm Moon, Hunger Moon, Wolf Moon
September: Worm Moon, Lenten Moon, Crow Moon, Sugar Moon, Chaste Moon, Sap Moon
October: Egg Moon, Fish Moon, Seed Moon, Pink Moon, Waking Moon
November: Corn Moon, Milk Moon, Flower Moon, Hare Moon
December: Strawberry Moon, Honey Moon, Rose Moon
Just a phase
The moon is a sphere that travels once around Earth every 27.3 days. It also takes about 27 days for the moon to rotate on its axis. So, the moon always shows us the same face; there is no single "dark side" of the moon. As the moon revolves around Earth, it is illuminated from varying angles by the sun — what we see when we look at the moon is reflected sunlight. On average, the moon rises about 50 minutes later each day, which means sometimes it rises during daylight and other times at night.
At new moon, the moon is between Earth and the sun, so that the side of the moon facing toward us receives no direct sunlight, and is lit only by dim sunlight reflected from Earth.
A few days later, as the moon moves around Earth, the side we can see gradually becomes more illuminated by direct sunlight. This thin sliver is called the waxing crescent.
A week after the new moon, the moon is 90 degrees away from the sun in the sky and is half-illuminated from our point of view — what we call first quarter because it is about a quarter of the way around Earth.
A few days later, the area of illumination continues to increase. More than half of the moon's face appears to be getting sunlight. This phase is called a waxing gibbous moon.
When the moon has moved 180 degrees from its new moon position, the sun, Earth and the moon form a line. The moon’s disk is as close as it can be to being fully illuminated by the sun, so this is called full moon.
Next, the moon moves until more than half of its face appears to be getting sunlight, but the amount is decreasing. This is the waning gibbous phase.
Days later, the moon has moved another quarter of the way around Earth, to the third quarter position. The sun's light is now shining on the other half of the visible face of the moon.
Next, the moon moves into the waning crescent phase as less than half of its face appears to be getting sunlight, and the amount is decreasing.
Finally, the moon moves back to its new moon starting position. Because the moon’s orbit is not exactly in the same plane as Earth’s orbit around the sun, they rarely are perfectly aligned. Usually the moon passes above or below the sun from our vantage point, but occasionally it passes right in front of the sun, and we get an eclipse of the sun.
Each full moon is calculated to occur at an exact moment, which may or may not be near the time the moon rises where you are. So when a full moon rises, it’s typically doing so some hours before or after the actual time when it’s technically full, but a casual skywatcher won’t notice the difference. In fact, the moon will often look roughly the same on two consecutive nights surrounding the full
