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;\">I&#8217;ve assigned numeric values for magnitude of effect to generate some topography in the visual display: association gets 8 points, aspect gets 4, dispositorship by sign 2, and dispositorship by nakshatra 1. Readers with better ideas are free to submit suggestions. 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 February 2019, Rahu occupies sidereal Cancer ruled by the Moon (2 points), and Punarvasu nakshatra ruled by Jupiter (1 point). Meanwhile, Jupiter in Scorpio aspects Rahu (4 points). From February 6-28, Mars also aspects Rahu (4 pts). And on February 17-19, the Moon transits Cancer, engaging Rahu by association (8 points).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright wp-image-4013\" src=\"http:\/\/www.navamsa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/February-2019.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"751\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.navamsa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/February-2019.jpg 976w, http:\/\/www.navamsa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/February-2019-300x160.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.navamsa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/February-2019-768x409.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 751px) 100vw, 751px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Their collective influence is shown in the blue band for Rahu. Note, this graph reflects magnitude of effect only, with no distinction between benefic vs malefic planets. Hopefully, this \u00e2\u0080\u009cnodal weather report\u00e2\u0080\u009d may evolve into that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Meanwhile, throughout February 2019 Ketu occupies Capricorn ruled by Saturn (2 pts), and Uttara Ashadha ruled by the Sun (1 pt). From February 1-12, the Sun transits the second half of Capricorn, activating Ketu by association (8 pts). Mercury does the same February 1-7 (8 pts). Venus enters Capricorn February 25-28, contacting Ketu by association (8 pts). And Moon transits Capricorn February 3-5, again engaging Ketu by association (8 pts).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Their collective influence is shown in the red band for Ketu, again, indicating magnitude of 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 first half of February, and that there\u00e2\u0080\u0099ll be a \u00e2\u0080\u009cpower surge\u00e2\u0080\u009d in February 3-5, whose effect would be more pronounced for anyone with the ascendant, luminaries or other significant planets in the first navamsa (0deg00-03deg20) of Cancer or Capricorn.<\/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.
