Karmic Horoscope: What Keeps Repeating in Your Chart

A karmic horoscope is a reading of the lunar nodes and the Black Moon (Lilith) in the natal chart. The nodes are the two points where the Moon’s orbit crosses the path of the Sun; they always stand opposite each other and go round the zodiac in about 18.6 years. In traditional astrology the South Node is what you inherit, and the North Node is the direction.

Purpose and calendar

The nodes, Lilith and Saturn: 12 aspects to them.

The wheel draws the ten planets and the three karmic points: the North Node, the South Node and Lilith.

Occasions

The pattern you cannot quite name

  • “The third relationship ends the same way.”

    Karmic lessons

    Which patterns keep returning for you, each tied to a specific placement in your chart.

  • “I leave, and a year later I am in the same place.”

    South node: familiar patterns

    What comes to you effortlessly, and when that same thing holds you back instead of moving you.

  • “There are things about me I show to no one.”

    Lilith: the Black Moon

    Where it hurts, where it comes from, and what changes when you look at it instead of going around it.

The parts

Seven parts, from your own chart

The parts run in the order you read them. The axis of the nodes is the thread of the whole analysis: every part comes back to it.

Each part is at least 300 words, the purpose at least 600. Past lives are the tradition’s symbolic language: the analysis says so once, at the start of its part, and never describes them as fact.

The three points

The lunar nodes and the Black Moon

The three points of the karmic reading, calculated for Maria’s sample chart.

What the analysis reads

  • North Node
  • South Node
  • Black Moon (Lilith)
The three points for Maria: sign and house, Placidus houses.

  • The nodes go backwards round the zodiac in about 18.6 years, so they come back to their birth place at about 19 and at about 37.
  • Without the exact time of birth the sign of the three points stays the same, and the house may change.
  • For Maria the North Node stands on the Ascendant, 1.82° from it. The purpose in the last part starts from there.

How it reads

A passage from a karmic reading

Passage · South node: familiar patterns

South Node 1°48′ Taurus 7th house

The South Node in Taurus in the seventh house gives you patience and the skill to keep one relationship steady. It has pulled you through hard years. The same skill keeps you with people who have long stopped giving you anything, because security weighs more for you than the wish to try something new. The North Node opposite it, in Scorpio and in the first house, asks for the reverse: to decide for yourself where to go and to bear the change.

Questions

What is the North Node?

The North Node is the point where the Moon’s orbit crosses the path of the Sun while the Moon climbs north. In a karmic reading it shows the direction of growth: the unfamiliar that pulls you.

What does the South Node show?

The South Node stands exactly opposite the North Node and shows the familiar: the skills and habits that come easily to you. The analysis says when they help and how to tell that they have become a habit that holds you back.

What is the Black Moon (Lilith)?

The Black Moon is a point of the Moon’s orbit: its farthest place from the Earth. In astrology Lilith is read as the place of boundaries, independence and uncomfortable desires.

What is karmic astrology?

Karmic astrology reads what repeats in the natal chart: the lunar nodes, the Black Moon and Saturn. Past lives are a symbolic language in it. The analysis stands on placements that are calculated exactly.

Does it work without the exact time of birth?

Yes. The nodes and Lilith move slowly and hardly shift in a day, so their sign is certain even without the time. The houses depend on the time: without it the chart is calculated for 12:00 and the house of each point is approximate.
