I like to use a 5 degree orb for all the major aspects but use your own discretion. Look at Aspects both Natally & Transiting; also the Sign & House positions in your Natal & Solar Charts.
Nodes - based on the Moons path around the Earth’s ecliptic; 19 year cycle. Often referred to as the ‘Dragons Head’ (North) & ‘Dragons Tail’ (South). Always in opposing signs at the same degree.
North Node (looks like an upsidedown horseshoe) - one’s destiny in their current life time; what you should be working towards; not familiar energy because it’s new; need to work at it for positive growth & development
South Node (looks like a regular horseshoe) - one’s karma; baggage from past life(ves); placement in chart where issues are possibly unresolved and can arise -can be self sabotage (12th house expression); feels very familiar but you should be moving away from it in this life. Look closely to conjunctions.
Part of Fortune (Circle with an X through it) - just that! Where you can expect luck - either materially, physically or spiritually; where you’re innately talented/gifted
Vtx - Vertex - another point of destiny & fate; also deep feeling; look to sign & house; compare the degree with other peoples charts! My Vertex, located in my 5th house of romance, conjuncts my husbands Moon/Jupiter conjunction in his 1st, at the exact degree.
EQ - Equatorial Asc - like a 2nd Asc.; how you see yourself; can be a health indicator.
Chiron (Looks like a K with a circle) - Asteroid discovered in 1977, between Saturn & Uranus. Returns every 50 years. Its discovery could be associated with the New Age Movement & Alternative Healing gathering more mainstream attention. Because it lies between Saturn & Uranus, it provides a ‘bridge’ between the personal planets to the outer planets, representing the bridge between the conventional & unconventional, the conscious to the unconscious, & the personal to the collective. Has an Aquarian feel in that it is a Maverick; doesn’t quite fit in anywhere. Often referred to as the “Wounded Healer”. It’s representation in the Natal Chart, by Sign & House, shows a karmic wound that defies complete healing. It’s a deep hurt that you’ll always work at, at a very person level. Look to sign & house to see where you may feel rejected or out of place. It can literally describe health - physical or mental. It particularly lends itself to alternative healing since Chiron is so unconventional, & perhaps psychotherapy given it’s chronic nature. Chiron is the wound we deal with for life so look to transiting Aspects to reopen it. The theory is we must go beyond personal boundaries and heal others, in order to heal ourselves. If Chiron conjuncts a planet in another persons chart, you may help them to heal; look to the energy of that planet, ie: One’s Chiron conjunct another’s Venus could mean they have a karmic duty to heal that person through love &/or pain. ?
Chiron may also be associated with an unusual or unexpected death(s) and leave strange repercussions with remaining loved ones. (I got this from a book - thoughts?)
