Secondary progressions aspecting natal nodes

[Ava]

My pr Mars is @ 19.21 Gemini, applying to an exact quincunx with natal true NN @ 20.00 Scorpio. 

My pr Jupiter @ 22.20 Aries. So my NN is now on the Mars-Jupiter midpoint.

It's an eventful, challenging, densely complex time of my life. 

I've been thinking of how this was in the cards from the beginning. 

===

I was inspired to check some previous years...

2010 was a major turning-point year for me, and I see that my progressed sun @ 20 Aqua and pr Jupiter @ 20 Aries were exactly aspecting my natal NN @ 20 Scorpio. 

Might go back over my longer timeline but for now, just wondering if anyone's noticed a correlation, where progressed planets aspecting the natal nodes has coincided with an especially dramatic time or event in one's life?

Curious...

Thanks

Yes, last year my pr Sun had been sextile my natal NN. Obviously that was strong enough.
Also just this month my pr NN has entered the exact degree of my natal ASC and is applying to there.

Interestingly it seems that the synastric progressions with P are even stronger than my own.

my sa Mercury also is sextile my natal NN (10 minutes separating)


Well Of course Sun square the Node will be more impactful, but interesting that we both had some important years happening with Sun aspecting natal Nodes.

Yes

More on that theme:

My husband's pr sun-Mercury @ 16 Virgo when we met, closely sextile his natal NN @ 15 Scorpio.

Speaking of sun-node, my natal sun has been tightly sextile pr NN.

My pr NN has been reversing steadily @ almost 1° per decade, so the natal sun sextile pr NN phase has been pretty long:

15.47 Cap, my sun (rectified)
15.50 Scorpio, my pr NN mid-year 2017
15.38 Scorpio, my pr NN mid-year 2019

On my 100th birthday:
12.32 Scorpio, pr NN

It's strange to me that for other people, the pr NN will never leave its natal degree in their lifetime.

Someone born June 4th of this year will have their pr NN @ 17° Cancer until they are 75 years old, if they make it. 

This is a whole other topic....but I'll just slip this in, I think it's interesting that H's pr NN has been @ 3° since he was about two years old. It will be there until he's 85. So for him, the more things change, the more they stay the same. In the next two years his pr sun hits that pr NN; might be a time of extremes.

Just going to make some reference notes here for myself for later...

Also I feel like we can understand more of our life's trajectory by looking ahead, seeing what happens simultaneously...

Feb 20, 2021
- Pr Mars @ 20.00 Gem quincunx NN exact
- Pr moon conjunct pr NN @15.36-.38 Scorpio

My birthday, 2028
- Pr Mercury 14 Aqua conjunct pr moon 16 Aqua square pr NN 15 Scorpio

May 1, 2028
- Pr moon @ 20.00 Aqua, pr Mercury @ 14 Aqua square pr NN partile

June 1, 2031
- Pr Venus @ 14.24 Aqua square pr NN partile; 19.16 Aqua pr Mercury

Dec 5, 2031
- Pr Mercury @ 20.00 Aqua; pr Venus @ 15.01 Aqua (pr NN 14.17 Scorpio)

Aug 12, 2033
- Pr sun @ 14.08 Pisces trine NN @ 14.08 Scorpio (square pr Neptune @ 13.56 Sag)
- Pr moon @ 23 Aries conjunct natal Chiron (23 Aries) + pr Chiron-Jupiter @ 25.10-25.11 Aries (square pr Saturn, 26 Cancer)

Jan 1, 2036 (running out of time to find perfect times)
- Pr Venus @ 20.03 Aqua
- Pr Jupiter-Chiron @ 25 Aries sextile pr Mars @ 25 Gem, square pr Saturn @ 26 Cancer

July 1, 2039 (20 years from now)
- Pr sun @ 20.01 Pisces, trine natal NN

(Interesting 3rd decan progressions after that, assuming I live that long...pr new moon in late Virgo with sun @ 25 Pisces trine pr Saturn, square Mars, semisextile Chiron....but none of that aspects my nodes. It does aspect my draconic sun @ 25 Taurus though.)

Hmm, looking very interesting Ava , but I rarely look beyond 2025, if at all, I mean that is like 20 years in the future! I guess I am not that future oriented after all.

looking up some wedding charts/ marriages - I mean those should show in the progressions with the nodal axis, right? after all you unite your life with that of another person! and in the most basic of sense nodes are about connections. (of course they are more than simple encounters). and node is the same as "knot", so if you tie the knot, it should show right there. Let me see


For my parents:
------------------
Natally my Mom has an exact conjunction of her NN to her MC on 8 Pisces.

- no progession to her natal Nodes.



her pr NN was on 5 Pisces

- pr CERES on 4 Pisces starting to apply to her pr NN (she was 3 months pregnant with me)
- pr VESTA on 4 Virgo on the pr SN


her sa (solar arc) NN on 1 Aries (she had started a whole new cycle about 1,5 years before, around the time she met or at least got together with my Dad for serious. Amazing, I mean not everyone will ever experience a SA NN on 00 Aries of course, most of us might experience one of the four cardinal points though, or at least on a new sign. ACtually I think that is important, solar arc planets entering new signs. I mean when my solar arc Moon was entering 00 Aries - boy did I feel that one!)

- no aspect of her sa NN to natal planets though



Transits

- Tr Neptune on 8 Sag squaring her natal NN and MC
- Tr Juno and Tr Ceres, both on 9 Pisces, conjunct her natal NN and MC




for my Dad

n NN on 9 Aries (n Mars on 9 Libra)
- pr Mars on 10 LIbra retro and reapplying to n SN

pr NN on 7 Aries
- square pr MC on 6 Cancer


sa NN on 4 Taurus
- square n Sun on 5 Aquarius (applying)

sa MC on 8 Cancer
- square n NN on 9 Aries
- square n Mars on 9 Libra



- Tr Neptune trine n NN (8 Sag - 9 Aries)




and their composite (excluding solar arcs cause I am too lazy to calculate)

n NN on 24 Pisces (Mars on 26 Virgo, Saturn on 28 Virgo, Chiron on 23 Sag)
- no exact progression, though I notice an exact Pluto-Karma-conjunction on 19 Leo trine n Sun on 19 Sag exact. interesting

pr c NN on 21 Pisces
- no real close aspects, however over the course of the next 2-3 years pr c NN would come to square natal composite Sun, their chartruler


- Tr NN conjunct c-Sun on 19 Sag in 5th house exact
- Tr NN trine pc Karma and pc Pluto on 19 Leo exact (in 1st house of natal composite)



also, well 
sa Venus on 24 Sag exactly squaring the natal composite Nodes - textbook case! lol (more and more it appears to me that we cannot afford skipping over the solar arc composite, even though it is such a drag to calculate, I wished astro.com had the option)

too bad planetdance only uses the mean Nodes, and does not calculate the true nodes either, and I am really too lazy to calculate them right now. 

[lumina]

for my best friend: 

- no special nodal progressions

- sa Mercury conjunct n NN on 4 Scorpio exact (Mercury ruling her IC)
- sa SN conjunct n Jupiter on 1 Gemini exact

- Tr SN conjunct her prUranus (1 dgree though)
- Tr SN conjunct her sa Pluto on 7 Scorpio exact
- Tr SN just separating from conjunct her sa Venus and sa Mars on 8 Scorpio
- TR SN conjunct her sa Juno with only 7 minutes of arc!


for her husband:

- pNN on 17 Scorpio square p ASC on 17 Aquarius exact
- p NN on 17 Scorpio sextile p Juno on 17 Virgo

- sa NN on 19 Sag square n Juno on 19 Virgo 


- Tr Karma on 17 Leo on pr DESC on 17 Leo square pr NN on 17 Scorpio (obviously Karma is a quick moving transit though)
- Tr SN conjunct pr Uranus on 7 Scorpio exact (Uranus rules his intercepted 1st house and disposits his Moon)
- Tr Pluto conjunct sa NN on 19 Sag exact (whoa, that is intense. lol, and she had the reversed transit to her sa Pluto)
- Tr NN on 7 Taurus separating from the square to sa ASC on 8 Aquarius



composite
-----------------

pc NN on 10 Scorpio conjunct pc DESC on 09 Scorpio, applying (wow! that is so much clearer than the individual progressions, actually I noticed that the synastric ones seem to be even more telling or eventful, at least if I check relational stuff).

pc Jupiter on 9 Taurus on the pc ASC

or more precisely 

pc ASC 9°49 Taurus
pc Jupiter 9°56 Taurus

pc DESC 9°49 Scorpio
pc NN 10°33 Scorpio

it is all within one degree!



Tr SN on 7 Scorpio conjunct natal composite Venus on 7 Scorpio (goosebump-alarm!)
TR NN conjunct natal composite Jupiter on 8 Taurus
Tr NOde on 7 Taurus square composite Saturn on 6 Leo
(well never said it was an easy thing. lol)



Tr SN conjunct pc Uranus on 6 Scorpio
And a bit before the marriage there was Tr NN conjunct pc ASC - Jupiter on 9 Taurus (possibly when they started planning it)

my brother and his wife

my brother
------------
-pNN on 27 Gemini trine n Juno-Mercury on 27 Aquarius
- p NN conjunct n IC on 28 Gemini with 14 minutes of arc

BTW so far I do see a lot of Node to angles and Sun it seems
and occasionally Juno of course


- sa Juno on 1 Aries (new cycle with the birth of his son a year prior!) square n NN on 1 Cancer
- sa NN on 5 Leo trine n Vesta on 6 Aries

- Tr Chiron square pr NN exact




- Tr Juno conjunct n SN (1 degree applying)
his wife
----------

- no tight progressions

- sa NN conjunct n IC but with 1 degree separating, exact the year before when their son was being born

(well her sa ASC was exact on her n Juno on 00 Gemini - just saying. lol)



nothing much in terms of transits, though the solar eclipse that happened the day prior to the wedding was exact opposing my brother`s Mercury-Juno and some other stuff



composite
----------

pc NN conjunct asteroid c-UNION on 17 Gemini exact
pc NN also squares c-Mercury

Tr Jupiter trine c-NN exact
Tr Saturn conjunct c-SN
tr NN trine c-Jupiter exact (On my Sun-Mercury, awwww)



so far in some cases I am even more intrigued with the solar arcs, though the progressed angles seem to be very "on", too with the Nodes.

[lumina]

Okay last check up: P and his wife

P`s progressions
-------------------

pMoon on 00 Taurus trine n NN on 1 Virgo

- sa SN conjunct n Ceres, albeit separating

- Tr Neptune quinkunx sa NN exact
- Tr NN on 00 LIbra square sa Uranus on 29 Sag (just 2 weeks away from entering Capricorn)



hers
--------

- nothing so far (but I do not know her exact birthtime, and she could have had pMoon square her nodal axis, in fact she definitely had this somewhen in the 6 months surrounding their wedding)

- it wasn`t yet in play or in orb, but she was having sa Mercury and sa Venus conjunct her natal NN the year after that, maybe that related to the birth of her second son

-she was also having sa Juno exact on her n Pluto, with just a couple of minutes orb


- Tr Chiron square sa NN
- Tr NN on 00 Libra square sa Ceres on 00 Cancer





composite
-------------

pc NN on 8 Cancer trine pc Mercury on 8 Pisces


Tr NN - possibly - conjunct c-Moon (at least around that time) and Tr NN was exact on their first son`s 00°01 Libra Moon




Well maybe some of her angles were being hit. don`t know that of course.




----------------------------------------------------
Seems in every of these check ups there was some kind of mirroring going on, sometimes within the individual, sometimes across the charts, and often the transit were repeating a progressed/solar arc picture. 

[lumina]

As for myself, last year definitely was a big one, albeit more smooth and subtly than dramatically loud


p Sun sextile NN 0°12 s
p NN square p Pholus 0°17 s
p NN conjunct n ASC 0°56 a 

sa Sun sextile NN 0°12 s
sa Mercury sextile NN 0°41 a

sa Jupiter sesisquare NN 0°27 s
sa NN semisquare Neptune 0°21 a
sa NN semisquare Ceres 0°01 a

[lumina]

P currently has: 

pr NN on 29 Leo sextile pr Vertex on 29 Libra
pr NN on 29 Leo sextile n Union on 29 Libra

sa Pluto on 01 Sag square n NN on 01 Virgo (exact in the end of march(


Tr SN separating from conjunct sa Mercury (May)
Tr NN separating from square sa Jupiter (april/May) and sa Mars (april)
Tr NN also separating from squaring n Pluto (april, around the time we first met in person this year actually. lol of course at the same time Tr NN was also conjunct my Antivertex and Sun/Moon-mp)
