I have been wanting to post something on the Lunar Nodes for a while now and this challenge has given me the perfect opportunity! 
The Lunar Nodes are a super interesting subject - in my opinion - and are said to hold the keys to our destiny and life lessons! So lets dive in… The following consists of information I have gathered over the last year or two from various different astrological sources. Enjoy! 
What and where are they?
The Lunar Nodes (or the Nodal Axis) are comprised of The North and South Nodes. They aren’t planets, but rather mathematical points on the chart that fall in two opposite zodiac signs. For example, if your North Node is in Capricorn 
your South Node will be in its opposite sign of Cancer 
and so on. These points take into account the relationship between the Sun 
Moon 
and Earth 
at the time of our births.
What do they represent?
In astrology, it is said that your life purpose is encoded in the North Node and South Node of the moon. The Nodes represent points of personal karmic imbalance.
The Lunar Nodes help us answer questions like: What am I supposed to do with my life? Why am I here and what’s my mission? What was I in a past life?
The North Node represents the kinds of experiences that we must work to develop in order to work with our karma and to grow spiritually. The South Node represents those experiences and qualities that come naturally to us and that we tend to fall back on.
If we over-emphasize and fall back on the qualities of our South Node, at the expense of developing our North Node, we may have a difficult time feeling personally successful; so as we go through life, it is important we embrace both aspects of our Nodes in order for us to achieve that karmic balance that we ultimately desire 
The South Node: Revealing Past Lives & Natural Abilities
The South Node reveals the gifts that you bring into this lifetime - this Node is your comfort zone 
You will be innately good in these areas of life, and may begin your early path based on your South Node leanings. While this can bring a sense of satisfaction, it is unlikely to elevate you to total contentment in the long term. There’s a sense of “been there, done that” in the field of South Node activities and indeed you have! In many past lifetimes! The key is to use your South Node as a springboard into your North Node destiny. The South Node is your “horoscope hometown” 
perhaps not the place you want to settle permanently, but somewhere cozy to visit when you need to feel a sense of place or belonging.
The North Node: Destiny’s Calling
The North Node is the exact opposite zodiac sign of the South Node. It illuminates the terrain that’s calling your name but climbing to the peak of this mountain is like trekking up Mt. Everest!! 
It’s your learning curve. North Node activities require you to stretch out of your comfort zone. Once you do, you’ll be amazed by how fulfilled you feel!! It’s like the activation of your life’s mission. The sooner you align yourself with this path, the more purpose-driven 
your life will become. However, you will often return to the comfort of your South Node even after you’ve made your way in the world.
In a nutshell…
The South Node reveals the challenges and gifts 
we bring in from previous lifetimes. The North Node represents our karmic paths , the lessons we came here to learn and the language we are learning to speak.
What are my Lunar Nodes?
If you don’t know your North Node - you can find it easily here 
Remember your South Node is in the Zodiac sign that lies directly opposite.
NB: The South Node position can be a point of great insecurity. Fear is associated with South Node issues. We very much want what is represented by the South Node position, whether that is order in our lives (South Node in Virgo/6th house) or satisfaction in partnerships (South Node in Libra/7th house). However, the only way we can feel successful in these areas is through working on the qualities of the opposite sign (North Node position). We may resist doing this, especially in the first 30 years of our lives, partly because we cannot see that letting go of some of our obsessions will bring satisfaction to the South Node areas. Thus, the North Node represents a point of challenge and growth. One feels somewhat awkward and uncertain in the areas represented by the North Node (its sign and house). The North Node can also be considered a point of inflow. We need help with our North Node issues, and we often meet people who will help us confront these issues

I hope you found my little dive into The Nodes interesting! And I’ll leave you with this, a quote I found on a website long-forgotton, many moons ago…
We often think that just because we’re good at something—or it comes easily to us—that it’s what we should “do” with our lives. Yet, sometimes, the easy way doesn’t feel spiritually satisfying. Maybe you’ve taken this path enough times in past lives, and you’re ready for something new? You will never know what you are truly capable of, until you take the plunge into the unknown and try something new…
