Interpreting the Neptune – Nodal axis square

 


In its positive manifestation Neptune is associated with inspiration and a great inner sensitivity  to manifest dreams and highly creative future oriented projects. However, in the lives of those  unable to align with Neptune’s higher frequencies it usually shows up as fantasies i.e.  imagination without the power to fulfill dreams giving rise to deception, deceit, weakness and generally failures to keep our commitments to ourselves or others.

The Moon's Nodes are related to the subconscious, the domain of the Moon. Thus, the South Node represents subconscious motivations that stem from the past and to which there is an inner inclination to cling although they may no longer be relevant or appropriate to the individual's situation and prospects, while the North Node represents conscious motivations relevant to the present and future, characterized by a desire for the unfoldment of appropriate changes in personal psychology.

When transit Neptune squares transit lunar nodes events occur that bring us face to face with  ‘skipped steps’ lessons we may have struggled to complete in a past life (or the past in this life) and are now forced to address in this life with heavier karmic debt. With nodal squares, there can be these frustrating or even painful repeated themes that are continuously brought up in our lives, to nudge us to fulfill our karmic lessons in this life since we failed to do so in the past (South Node).

The transiting Neptune-Nodal axis T-square can become active in our charts in several ways e.g. in return charts, by conjunction to planets in the radix etc. Since Neptune is the apex of the T, it may be worthwhile to meditate on its Sabian symbol . Dane Rudhar’s interpretation is given below [1]:

PHASE 350 (PISCES 20°): A TABLE SET FOR AN EVENING MEAL.

KEYNOTE: An indication that in the end and at the appointed time the individual's needs will be met among those to whom he is linked by a spiritual (or biological) web of energies.

The significant element in this scene is not only the meal, but the fact that it is an "evening" meal. To use traditional symbolism, after a long chain of personal existences the Soul returns to its spiritual home at the close of the day-of-manifestation. There it finds that which renews and amply sustains; the happiness of the "beyond of existence" is experienced — if all has gone well.
