Exact Nodal Alignment

An exact nodal alignment is a personal planet sitting right on top of the North or South Node: the two points marking where the Moon's orbit crosses the ecliptic. The Nodes don't behave like ordinary planets; they're read as an axis of growth and release, so a planet locked onto one is traditionally tied to a chart's sense of fated direction, pulled forward by the North Node's themes, or asked to release something under the South Node's.
