North (South) Node – Lilith Trine – A Dragonfly in Amber

The axis of the karmic Nodes contains complete information about the native’s ancestral past and their purpose in this life. By analyzing the signs and Houses where the Nodes are located, as well as aspects to other planets, one can understand why the person came into this world, identify the supporting points of favorable opportunities, and recognize dangerous repetitions of past mistakes. Everything connected with the previous incarnation is shown by the Descending (South) Node. It is more familiar and easier to live through it, because the subconscious preserves the memory of familiar behavioral and response patterns.

However, now the person needs to master the new path of the Ascending (North) Node, which is not always easy, but every victory brings a feeling of happiness and fullness of life. A trine to Lilith is not like similar aspects to personal and social planets. Its beneficial energy lulls vigilance and pulls the native into a whirlpool of intoxicating permissiveness, sometimes knocking them off the true path, and the native becomes trapped like a dragonfly in a piece of amber, unable to understand how to get out.

The Karma of Lilith’s Trine to the Ascending (Descending) Node

Lilith, the Black Moon, has a bad reputation. It is a hypothetical point that drains strength and energy from another planet, but the Nodes themselves do not carry a personal charge, so there is nothing for Lilith to take from them. Here it is important to understand that Lilith makes the place of its position extremely important for the person. The native literally becomes fixated on the theme of this House and sign, while a trine to either Node further strengthens this significance and also draws a chain of events on the external plane in order to involve the native in this whirlpool with certainty.

The isolated energy of Lilith is very similar to the influence of the South (Descending) Node. The chart holder receives incredible pleasure from doing what comes easily and effortlessly, but at the same time they lack a sense of proportion, or they do not see the boundary between good and evil. They do not want to go into the unknown and face the trials of the North (Ascending) Node, because it feels so pleasant and wonderful to receive fame, money, and success without any moral principles or soul-searching.

Such people are careerists, fraudsters, performers, and adventurers who already learned in a past life how to take everything from life. However, in the previous incarnation, along with sinful pleasures, they also performed good deeds. This will be shown by the sextile to the North Node, the key to freedom from the sweet chains of the Black Moon.

The trine of the Ascending Node to Lilith is a sign of some material advantage from the native’s past life. This advantage was precisely the temptation and stumbling block: wealth, a certain talent, beauty, social status by birth, or even belonging to a particular nationality or race.

It is important to examine Lilith’s sextile to the South Node in order to understand specifically which qualities now need to be worked through and brought to the new level of the Black Moon’s higher expression, since Lilith will always tempt the person with the comfort zone of a past life without morality or restrictions.

Features of Lilith’s Trine to the Ascending Node

The karmic task is to develop talent in the sphere where the Black Moon is located, at the higher level of this sign. For example, if it is in Gemini, then at a low level of development the person will succeed through gossip, intrigue, false propaganda, and the distortion of facts. The trine itself will not prevent this, because it accelerates and allows development on any level of a planet or, in this case, a hypothetical point.

However, Lilith’s cunning lies in the fact that it first gives all blessings as bonuses, and then, nine years later, the evil that was created returns like a boomerang. At the same time, at the higher level, the same Black Moon in Gemini gives the gift of a politician, actor, writer, or journalist who can clearly see the dark side of human consciousness and help others cope with it through emotion-focused imagery therapy.

In the same way, the native needs to bring their Lilith into service to the purpose of the Ascending Node. If it is, for example, in the Seventh House, then the gift should be used for consultations on relationships and partnership-based business. If it is in the Eighth House, then the person needs to learn to manage finances without judging the wealth of others.

The positive qualities of Lilith contribute to achieving the goal: artistry, charm, the ability to present oneself advantageously through graceful manners and enveloping speech.

Features of Lilith’s Trine to the Descending Node

The person will have to pass through the temptation of their own uniqueness, and here much will depend on the overall picture of the natal chart. If there is an abundance of trines, the native will once again sit on the throne and prepare to receive admiration and material offerings from admirers. Such people have a hypnotic effect on those around them. All doors open before them, and even strangers try to please them for no reason. This is a continuation of their previous incarnation in a pleasant comfort zone. The trap is that without development through the North Node, good fortune ends at about the age of twenty-seven, and the person has not learned how to give.

The presence of dominant squares and oppositions will create a situation in which the native has a crown on their head, but no one is in a hurry to recognize them as a king or queen. On the contrary, they are made to understand that no honors or privileges will be granted for nothing. This is a more favorable situation for development, because the person understands that they must not only take, but also give love, support, and attention, using Lilith’s talents through the tools described in the symbolism of the Houses of the Ascending and Descending Nodes for the benefit of society.  ✓
