Heliocentric Nodes

​

The Heliocentric Nodes of the Planets are the two places in our zodiac where a planet in the solar system intersects with the ecliptic – the Earth’s orbit around the Sun. They are similar to the Lunar Nodes (Moon’s orbital intersection with the Earth’s orbit) except that the heliocentric nodes primarily move forward in the zodiac (at a very slow pace).

The degrees listed below function as “super-planets.” Particularly note if one of the orbits is very closely conjunct your natal angles (rising-setting or vertical meridian axis), a planetary position in your chart, the Sun or Moon at your birth. You should only use an orb within about 1 degree.
