Unknown Symbol

Post by ABC »

Was going over all the symbols on a chart this morning and found one I cannot find anywhere....It's shaped like a "U" with two circles at the top...Looks like an upside down horseshoe and some one has welded two eyelets on it..

Is it one of the lunar nodes?

What chart was it on? Most of us don't bother putting the nodes on our charts; and those that do, usually only put the north node (the other one). So, to answer your question I probably need to know what chart it's on.

Ah, not on this site - on another site. I can't speak for why that author included it, or what he or she means by it. Astrologers' use of Moon's nodes ranges across wide acreage, with the German schools going one direction, the Hindu schools another, and Western tropicalists in three or four other directions. Most astrologers who put both nodes on the chart draw some interpretive contrast between them. Some people put them on charts just because it's the default of the software they are using.

I don't have time to read the article, but perhaps it uses it interpretively?
