The Seesaw of Personal Growth. If you sit entirely on the South Node end, you stay stationary; to move forward, you must shift your weight toward the North Node while keeping balance.

Astrological Impact

Eclipses only occur along this axis every 6 months, catalyzing sudden turning points, karmic course-corrections, and fateful life milestones.

Tip:Look at the pair of houses where Rahu and Ketu reside: one house is teaching you to release micromanagement, while the opposite house is asking you to step up and lead.
