Calculated Points in the Birth Chart: Lunar Nodes, Lilith and More
Calculated points in the birth chart are just that — points that are calculated. There aren’t that many…
They aren’t physical celestial bodies like the asteroids, the Sun, the Moon etc.
The most prominent points are as follows:
- The Lunar Nodes — North and South Node
- Black Moon Lilith
- The Vertex
- Arabic lots, principally the Part of Fortune and Part of Spirit — but there are many more
There are lesser known and less widely used points such as Dark Moon Lilith, Priapus, the Earth Point, Anti-Vertex, the East Point, and more.
In the future, I may write articles on some of these, however, for now, you can find articles on the Black Moon Lilith and Part of Fortune — both of which are becoming increasingly popular as humanity’s interest and understanding of astrology continues to expand.
The Lunar Nodes
North Node
The North Node indicates your Soul’s direction in this current incarnation. It shows you what your Soul decided to experience, achieve, learn and grow from this time around. It’s the destiny that you are meant to embrace in this life.
South Node
The nodes work in tandem and as such the South Node reveals where you came from; the sort of person you used to be in your last incarnation as well as any skills and talents you accumulated from your many past lives.
Black Moon Lilith
This shows us our dark feminine side. The one keep guarded — away from prying eyes. We all have a dark side to some extent. Of course, some of us far more than others. This varies across our species.
It encompasses any taboo desires we have, our deepest and darkest thoughts, preferences, and opinions. It also shows to some degree what sort of traumas and wounds we are carrying with us in this lifetime.
Vertex
The Vertex shows you the sort of fated encounters you might have with others and situations as well. These are the sort of events that can really alter or shape our lives going forward.
Arabic Lots
Part of Fortune
This is by far the most popular lot. I wrote an in-depth article on this mathematical point some time ago. It’s one of my favorite parts of any chart. It’s almost always positive and holds a very high vibration. It essentially reveals where we have or may discover true joy, fulfilment, luck, and material success.
Many people don’t realise that it’s one lot of many, and that it’s part of the Arabic system.
Part of Spirit
This is one of the lesser known lots. It’s not nearly as well known as the Part of Fortune. It shows us what our true spiritual calling is in this lifetime. I think it’s particularly handy when we’re feeling a bit at sea in life! We might not know what we should be doing, or we just don’t feel especially passionate about anything. During these sorts of points in our lives, we can examine this lot for ideas about what direction we might benefit from heading in.
