Holm Astrology has been creating "Astrology" and "Food For Thought" posts for over 10 years.  Wix has taken over the Vista Print websites and as a result of the migration of our information, a large portion of our blog posts are currently lost. 

 

We realize our Astrology posts are vital to our students. 

 

If you do not find what you are looking for on this Blog page, please visit www.holmastrology.blogspot.com/ where you will find our missing blog posts.  There are over 2,660 posts pre September, 2023.

​

We apologize for the inconvenience but it is worth the jump over to our blogspot.


Jupiter has a 12-year cycle, so approximately every three years it will make squares to both of your Natal Nodes.  Jupiter is known for its opportunistic applications.  It often brings good luck, favorable conditions, growth potential, new and idealistic teachings into the philosophy of life often through the actual experience rather than through books. Jupiter offers expanded exploration of life in general with an inclination towards newfound information and learned material.

 

The Nodes (we always have two Node, one known as the North Node or the Dragon’s head and the other known as the South Node or the Dragon’s tail) are tied to our exploration of life. They bring teachings that are required to move towards our destiny as well as the need to use what we have been taught or what comes naturally to us in life (this could be information learned in a previous incarnation). 

 

The North Node is the path ahead which may seem daunting or unrecognizable, especially as we just venture forth in our life’s mission.

 

The South Node deals with the path we have already travelled and the knowledge we have brought forward to assist us in our venture into the energies of the North Node which is often unknown territory.  The South Node is comfortable because we have come from this place and the North Node can be uncomfortable because it is unfamiliar but is the journey we must take.

 

The Square aspect in Astrology is considered a difficult one, often producing obstacles, challenges and hardships through lessons learned often through life’s experience.  The beauty of the square aspect is that it is difficult enough that it pushes us into acting on whatever hurdles or lessons are in front of us and pushes us to overcome or at least face the challenging situations so we can learn from them.  It is likely that we need to find a remedy to resolve the issues we are facing.

 

Jupiter, in most cases, does offer us some resolution even under hard aspects.  In this case, the path ahead may seem unattainable or hard to reach.  There may be obstacles in the way and our progress may seem exceptionally slow. We must venture forward, however, and push through the adversity and find ways to just take one step at a time. 

 

The path behind us may not seem to offer any assistance as we try to advance and although there are hinderances, we know from past experiences that we can and will advance and learn.  If we stumble, we learn from our mistakes and can use this knowledge to move ahead in a new direction which is appropriate at this time. 

 


Jupiter square the natal nodes can be trying, but it will teach us what we need to learn for our new path forward. This life lesson may not have been easy but it was invaluable.
Jupiter Square the natal Nodes

Transiting Jupiter square the natal nodes can be trying, but it will teach us what we need to learn for our new path forward. In about one year after this aspect, the path ahead will be much easier as Jupiter will transit forward to make a trine to the South Node and a Sextile to the North Node. This indicates an opportunity to gain insight into the path which lies ahead, and we will find ways that will help maneuver in that required direction because of the work we did during the square aspect.  Jupiter square the natal nodes may not have been easy but it was invaluable.

Jupiter square the natal nodes can be trying, but it will teach us what we need to learn for our new path forward. This life lesson may not have been easy but it was invaluable.                                                                

As Transiting Saturn makes an Opposition to the North Node in our birth chart, it will also Conjunct our South Node.  The North and South Nodes are always exactly180° apart. 

 

The South Node and Saturn are said to carry with them similar energies.  Both are considered malefic or non-desirable when it comes to their energy. 


Transiting Saturn opposition to natal North Node is a valuable yet difficult lesson. After these energies pass, you will feel great relief. Review the lessons learned as Saturn is a disciplinarian but also a great teacher.  Without its influence, even though the lessons are not easy, we can become stagnant.
Transiting Saturn Opposition Natal North Node

The Opposition to the North Node suggests that other people are often involved in what is taking hold in life. 

 

The energies of Saturn in opposition to our natal North Node can have a lasting effect and can cause some concern because it appears as though someone is trying to stop your momentum forward.  You are being held back from moving in the direction that you want to go.  There can be obstructions along the way, twists and turns that you might not enjoy, and you will likely feel as though you are being tested by outside forces. 

 

Things will finally start moving or flowing again once Saturn has moved out of orb. Unlike other transiting Planets, sometimes due to Saturn’s delay, its most powerful influence may be encountered when it is 2° past being direct. 

 

For example, if the North Node is at 25° Pisces and Saturn is at 27° Virgo, this will be when these energies are at their peak.  Interestingly, transiting Saturn Mid-April and into May of 2025 is making contact within this suggested aspect, while both in transit.  So, if you have this influence also in your natal chart, this specific timing will be a very powerful in your life, and you will have to wait for these energies to clear.  Much will depend on the houses involved as this will define the areas of life involved.

 

Perhaps issues of the past may now be surfacing and although you would rather push them aside, this is the time to face them and review thoroughly and discreetly.  Do not try to avoid this as the time has come to deal with whatever this is indicating no matter how challenging it may seem. 

 

There may also be issues related to the father or an authority figure in some cases. If this relates to an authority figure, it might also relate to your career or someone who has a hand in decision making.

 

If this is tied to the seventh house, for example, then the marriage partner might be part of what this is about.  Troubles in communication may be suggested if the location is within the third house of the chart.  Romantic or issues with authority with your children may be part of what this is about if your fifth house is involved, and so on. 

 

Remember this one aspect, and by itself, it is not enough to ascertain a complete story of what is unfolding but it will provide you with some insight.  The whole picture needs to be evaluated with a look at the full chart.

 

Transiting Saturn opposition to natal North Node is a valuable yet difficult lesson. After these energies pass, you will feel great relief. Review the lessons learned as Saturn is a disciplinarian but also a great teacher.  Without its influence, even though the lessons are not easy, we can become stagnant.

The Vertex is a point calculated with our birth time in the astrology chart usually indicating fated events or our destiny connected to the meeting with others who are important in our life.
The Vertex

The Vertex and anti-Vertex are points calculated within the framework of the chart, one exactly opposite the other using your exact birth time. 

 

They are both connected to meetings with others.  There is a feeling of destiny and karmic attached to the significance behind these meetings.  Known as points of destiny, sometimes creating turning points in life.  These meetings with others seem fateful and, in many cases, it is as if you have known this individual previously.

 

The Vertex has similarities to the Descendent and the Anti-Vertex has similarities to the Ascendant. 

 

The Vertex, which is associated with others and our meeting, suggest a feeling that these individuals may fill something that is missing within us, (almost having the effect of assisting in making us feel whole).  There is the feeling of having very little control over the situation and our meeting point. It feels fated in some manner, like it was meant to happen.

 

The Anti-Vertex has similarities with the Ascendant, but it seems as though when we meet these individuals there is no choice in the matter and once again fated on some level.  With the Anti-Vertex, these people affect us but not with the same impact as the Vertex. The Anti-Vertex people do not make us feel whole, but they can play a significant role in our lives.  The experiences we share, once again, feel fated and affect us in personal terms.

 

The Vertex and Anti-Vertex can be used in many different purposed charts, including the Natal chart, the Progressed chart, and the Solar chart.  When connected with Planets or points in these charts, the Vertex and Anti-Vertex are extremely significant.  The Planet that is contacted especially by Conjunction, but also by Opposition, Trine, Sextile and Square will define the energies brought forward. 

 

A couple of examples might be a Saturn contact suggesting someone enters our life who offers more responsibilities and may assist or hold us back in our objectives particularly tied to our career.  This person may be older or someone in authority. 

 

If the Moon is involved, it could be someone with an emotional connection, or someone who is tied in some way to family and is highly sensitive.  Don’t forget it may just be someone who enters your life because of an important experience that is required.

 

An experienced Astrologer can help you define the meanings behind these potentialities in your personal chart. 

 

Again, the Vertex is a point calculated with our birth time in the astrology chart usually indicating fated events or our destiny connected to the meeting with others who are important in our life.
