Astrological Significance
In Western Astrology only the north node is usually marked in horoscopes, as the south node is by definition at the opposite point in the chart. In Vedic Astrology, the north and south nodes are called Rahu and Ketu respectively, and both are marked in the chart.
Nodes always move retrograde and are considered natural malefics. There is no consensus on their special aspects.

Famous quotes containing the word significance:
“For a parent, it’s hard to recognize the significance of your work when you’re immersed in the mundane details. Few of us, as we run the bath water or spread the peanut butter on the bread, proclaim proudly, “I’m making my contribution to the future of the planet.” But with the exception of global hunger, few jobs in the world of paychecks and promotions compare in significance to the job of parent.”
—Joyce Maynard (20th century)
