Lunar Nodes in Partner’s Houses Synastry #
When your Lunar Nodes fall in particular houses of your partner’s chart, karmic and evolutionary themes activate. The North Node shows where you’re meant to grow together; the South Node shows familiar (and sometimes limiting) patterns.
Understanding Nodal Overlays #
The Nodes always fall in opposite houses. When your North Node is in their 7th house, your South Node is in their 1st. This creates a polarity of growth and release.
