The North Node marks the direction of growth — the unfamiliar quality a life is leaning toward, the path forward rather than the comfort zone. With the South Node it forms the eclipse axis, the line the Moon's orbit crosses the ecliptic on.
The nodal axis moves backwards through the zodiac, circling the chart in about 18.6 years and spending roughly a year and a half in each sign. Where the transiting North Node lands, events arrive that pull you toward unfamiliar ground — and eclipses falling near it mark that area for a year at a time.
