Calculate Nodus I (Al Dhi’bah) in the natal chart

Nodus I, also known as Al Dhi’bah (“The Wolves” or “Hyenas” in Arabic), is located in the constellation Draco. In ancient traditions, the twisted form of Draco represented cosmic battles, vigilance, and protective guardianship — often guarding treasures or sacred knowledge. Nodus I itself is one of the “nodes” or “knots” along the Dragon’s body, symbolizing points of fate, turning, and karmic entanglement. It has a nature blending Mars and Saturn energies: ambition, endurance, and confrontation with hardship.

Positive Influence

• Strong resilience and endurance in difficult circumstances.
• Ability to persist through “karmic knots” or entanglements in life, solving complicated problems.
• A naturally strategic mind, able to foresee obstacles and plan several steps ahead.
• Protectiveness over loved ones, communities, or sacred causes.
• Tendency toward deep loyalty and long-term commitments.
• Can act as a guardian of wisdom, knowledge, or moral values.

Negative Influence

• Possibility of becoming entangled in conflicts or dramas that seem “destined” or hard to avoid.
• Tendency toward rigidity, suspicion, or mistrust, seeing threats where there are none.
• Brooding over injustices or slights, leading to vendettas or prolonged grudges.
• Pessimism or “doom thinking” — expecting the worst even when it is unwarranted.
• Risk of losing perspective and becoming trapped in endless battles or struggles.
• Difficulty in letting go of toxic patterns, relationships, or karmic ties.

Behavior Tactics

• Choose your battles wisely: Not every knot needs to be untied; some situations are better left behind.
• Practice strategic withdrawal when conflicts are not beneficial in the long term.
• Develop trust in cycles of renewal: not every obstacle means failure; it can also be an opportunity for redirection.
• Cultivate forgiveness and detachment to avoid being bogged down by unnecessary resentment.
• Use your natural protective instincts for constructive purposes — support causes that promote healing rather than vengeance.
• Balance loyalty with flexibility: understand that loyalty to yourself and your well-being is as important as loyalty to others.

Summary

The conjunction of planets with Nodus I marks individuals who are karmic problem-solvers, guardians, and endurance warriors.
