Inquiry: Uranus and Neptune

We have received the following inquiry:

What are URANUS and NEPTUNE in relation to the other 7 planets? Are they the North Node and South Node of the moon?

Uranus and Neptune are two of the "outer planets," that is, beyond the orbit of Saturn. They are not used in Geomancy, and they have no correspondence to the North and South Nodes of the Moon (CAPUT DRACONIS and CAUDA DRACONIS, respectively, in Geomancy).

Uranus and Neptune, along with Pluto, are used in Western Astrology. In horary astrology, they play a minor role, and they are treated like FIXED STARS (like ALDEBARAN, PROCYON, ANTARES, REGULUS, etc.). In natal astrology, they are likewise treated like fixed stars, but they usually play a greater role. In mundane astrology, they are also treated like fixed stars, and they can play a greater role than they do even in natal astrology. All three -- Uranus, Neptune, Pluto -- play no role in Geomancy, and you should be extremely skeptical of anyone who says otherwise. Ask for determinative and conclusive proof.

In astrology, the nature of the outer planets is, briefly, this:

URANUS: general disruption, divorce, unrealistic ideas or expectations, something negative or sudden that later gives birth to beauty or love.

NEPTUNE: things associated with water, delusion and deceit (including self-delusion and self-deceit), earth-shaking problems.

PLUTO: things associated with basements, lockdowns, underground, vehicles, elopement, kidnapping, serious commitments, claustrophobia.

The North and South Nodes are different things altogether. In the diagram above, you see the blue sphere of Earth tilted on its access. The YELLOW LINE is labelled THE ECLIPTIC. This is the apparent path of the Sun as it moves around the Earth, that is, the line of the SOLAR ORBIT. The RED LINE is labelled the LUNAR ORBIT. You will see that it does not exactly correspond to the YELLOW LINE OF THE SOLAR ORBIT, but is different by about 5 degrees.

On the diagram you will see the phrase ASCENDING NODE. This is the North Node, where the MOON, moving upward, crosses the path of the SOLAR ORBIT. On the other side, you see the DESCENDING NODE, where the MOON, moving downward, crosses the path of the SOLAR ORBIT again. This is the South Node.

The North Node is of the nature of JUPITER and VENUS, the Greater and Lesser Benefics. It brings good fortune, expansion, freedom, increase. In Geomancy, it is symbolized by the figure CAPUT DRACONIS. Amongst the planets, Jupiter is the element AIR, and Venus is the element WATER. Therefore, CAPUT DRACONIS is associated with AIR and WATER, too.

The South Node is of the nature of SATURN and MARS, the Greater and Lesser Malefics. It brings bad fortune, limitation, restriction, decrease. In Geomancy, it is symbolized by the Figure CAUDA DRACONIS. Amongst the planets, Saturn is the element EARTH, and Mars is the element FIRE. Therefore, CAUDA DRACONIS is associated with EARTH and FIRE, too.
