"Both the north and south nodes have to do with fate. The south node is more\
serious and has saturn overtones. If the natal south node is conjunct the\
ascendant or chart ruler in a solar return, then watch out. The influences can be\
unpredictable, depending on what the past life ties are. The year will definitely be\
fated.\
Often, in the charts of lovers, close friends, family members and others who are\
significant in one‟s life, there are close connections from one‟s planet/s to the\
other‟s south node. These have to do with past life ties for better or for worse.\
Semi-sextiles [because of the very tight orb of 1 1/2 degrees on either side], and\
other aspects that are very tight or exact in orb are also fated; meaning a fated\
event that will occur in the present lifetime. This is even more so if these tie in\
with the nodal axis."
