A Moon’s Nodes Compendium
My fascination with the Moon’s Nodes goes back a long way: to birth with the North Node exactly conjunct a 29 Taurus MC (ninth house side). This fated me to the dedicated pursuit of vocational life, centred on teaching and big picture pursuits, most notably astrology which I began to teach on the approach to the second Nodal Return in my mid thirties and which has continued in one form or another ever since.
So – for those of you who are coming fresh to this important dimension of astrological symbolism, what ARE the Moon’s Nodes? Work your way through what’s on offer here, and you will surely find out!
And – for seasoned and experienced practitioners, I hope that this compendium of ‘takes’ on The Moon’s Nodes in Action in a wide variety of settings including 17 articles/essays from 2013-2022, will be stimulating, informative – as well as offering a range of different lives from which the symbolic power of the Nodal Axis’ 18.6 year journey round the zodiac band can be viewed with fresh and deepened appreciation.
The compilation you are about to read consists of three parts:
1.) *The Moon’s Nodes in Action, an original research study and the thesis for my diploma in psychological astrology from the CPA in London in 1998: the study in ebook format (2016 – one 18.6 -year Nodal cycle since its first appearance!) is available HERE.

2.) A selection of 17 articles and essays written for various contexts including Astrodienst, the UK’s Astrological Journal, The Mountain Astrologer’s blog, USA’s much missed Dell Horoscope magazine, appearing on my own Astrology: Questions and Answers blog, and on my Writing from the Twelfth House site. These writings feature the Nodes’ journey from Scorpio to Taurus from 2013 to 2022:
