Is there a user friendly way for a beginner (and I mean Im worse with technology than I am at understand sidereal jargon if that says anything, I don't use solar flare let alone know how to download it.) that one could caluclate the nodes of Pluto, and the where or how would be the best way to interpret them?
Not a generally available easy way, but I'm happy to give you the information. You have Pluto's North Node at 25°55' Gemini, and its South Node at 25°09' Sagittarius. Neither of them contacts anything in your chart.
Planetary nodes may not mean anything and, at best, they are comparatively weak factors. I personally am inclined (having watched them for almost 40 years) to accept them as working factors, but there have been no sufficient scientific demonstrations of their value. (The word "sufficient" is probably unnecessary in that sentence.) Give them a 1° orb of conjunction or opposition a planet. Their nature is then like a weak expression of the planet.
You have no planetary node contacts in your chart.
(I'll say this too, astrology is not a school or a study, for me, it's not a science or calculatory but rather mystic and intuitively lead for me personally, which is why I'm exploring this as Pluto aspects my moon via square yet not angular or exalted im curious if there is more evidence in my chart as to why it is so personal.)
This is a place where we are probably more in disagreement than any other. If I'd thought astrology was of this nature, I'd not have given it much attention at all, let alone devoted most of my life to it. I'm careful not to lump astrology in with any
occultism, and value that it's capable of behaving as a science. I endorse nothing unless it has shown itself effective through extensive, objective testing. It's not mystical at all - at all! - though its scientific expression can certainly inspire mystical feelings. Intuition is a tool the astrologer needs and uses, but this doesn't make astrology any more an "intuitive" topic than, say, medicine.
You ask if there is any more evidence in your chart as to why Pluto is so personal to you. How much more do you need? It's square your Moon only a little more than a degree. That's as personal affect as a thing can have. The problem is, you then confuse Pluto with Scorpio, so I guess you take our repeated rejection of you being Scorpionic as rejection that you are Plutonian. But no, we started with the idea that your Moon-Pluto is one of the very strongest things in your chart.
