In this lesson
What “karmic” means here
Some astrological schools use the term for readings framed by repetition, lessons and reincarnation. This is a religious or philosophical framework. Chart placements are not biographical records of a previous life.
Nodes and recurring habits
The north and south nodes are opposite points defined by the lunar orbit and ecliptic. Symbolically they can prompt a discussion about familiar and unfamiliar ways of acting. Useful material comes from present examples the person recognises.
Without passing judgment on someone’s life
Do not describe harm as a deserved “debt” or a difficult relationship as an obligation to stay. In your notes, label a belief as a belief, a symbolic question as a question, and record actual circumstances separately.
