Northnode

The North Node, also known as the True Node or Dragon's Head, is a point in space that is the ascending intersection of the Moon's orbit with the ecliptic, the apparent path of the Sun across the sky. In astrology, the North Node is considered to represent the future path or destiny of an individual, while the South Node represents the past. The North Node is often associated with growth, evolution, and the challenges one must face to progress spiritually. In Hebrew, the North Node is translated as הצד הצפוני (HaTzad HaTzafon) or ראש התנין (Ros HaTanin). In Sanskrit, it is known as उत्तर ग्रह (Uttara Graha), and in Arabic, it is referred to as الرأس (Ar-Ras). The North Node moves retrograde, or backward, through the zodiac, taking about 18.6 years to complete a full cycle through all twelve signs.
