The nodes act on behalf of planets (1) with which they\u00e2\u0080\u0099re associated, (2) by which they\u00e2\u0080\u0099re aspected, (3) whose sidereal sign they occupy, and (4) whose nakshatra they occupy, in descending order of effect.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Although assigning numeric values for magnitude of effect may be a fool\u00e2\u0080\u0099s game, I\u00e2\u0080\u0099ve done so in order to generate a visual display offering a distinct topography. Thus, I\u00e2\u0080\u0099ve assigned association a power of 8, aspect a power of 4, dispositorship by sign 2, and dispositorship by nakshatra 1. Readers with better ideas are free to correspond with me. Please consider this a work in progress.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Here\u00e2\u0080\u0099s the logic behind this graph: For the whole of January 2019, Rahu occupies sidereal Cancer ruled by the Moon (2 points), and Pushya nakshatra ruled by Saturn (1 point). Meanwhile, Jupiter in Scorpio aspects Rahu (4 points). On January 20-22, the Moon transits Cancer, engaging Rahu by association (8 points).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright wp-image-3998\" src=\"http:\/\/www.navamsa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/January-2019-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"408\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.navamsa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/January-2019-1.jpg 875w, http:\/\/www.navamsa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/January-2019-1-300x163.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.navamsa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/January-2019-1-768x418.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The sum total of their influence is shown in the blue band for Rahu. Note that this graph reflects quantitative effect only, absent a qualitative distinction between benefic vs malefic planets. This \u00e2\u0080\u009cnodal weather report\u00e2\u0080\u009d may evolve into that, but I\u00e2\u0080\u0099m not there yet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Meanwhile, in January 2019 Ketu occupies Capricorn ruled by Saturn (2 pts), and Uttara Ashadha ruled by the Sun (1 pt). On January 6-8, the Moon transits Capricorn, engaging Ketu by association (8 pts). During January 14-31, the Sun transits Capricorn, independently activating Ketu by association (8 pts). And through January 20-31, Mercury transits Capricorn, further engaging Ketu by association (8 pts).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The sum total of their influence is shown in the red band for Ketu. Again, this graph reflects quantitative effect only, with no distinction between benefic vs malefic influence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">As a general observation, we can say the nodes exert greater power in the second half of January, and that there\u00e2\u0080\u0099ll be a modest \u00e2\u0080\u009cpower surge\u00e2\u0080\u009d in January 20-22, whose effect would be more pronounced for anyone with the ascendant, luminaries or other significant planets on the Cancer\/Capricorn axis.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">~~~<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Alan Annand<\/strong>\u00c2\u00a0studied with Hart de Fouw, and is a graduate of the American College of Vedic Astrology.
