North Node & South Node Calculator | Find Your Lunar Nodes
What are my Nodes:
While most people know their Sun sign, very few know what sign their Nodes are in or even what the Nodes represent. There are two Nodes – North and South which are opposites and highlight the opposing forces and dichotomous nature of being human. It is also noteworthy to say that the nodes, unlike many other aspects of astrology are actually points of space time and not physical in nature. It is for this very reason, that the nodes are seen as karmic or spiritual in nature.
While the sun has a 1 year cycle around the sun, the Nodal cycle is approximately 18.5 years. This means that while the Sun is in each sign for approximately 30.5 days or a month, The Nodes are in one sign for approximately 1.5 years. If one chooses to look deeper into nodes, it is also important to understand the relationship of your nodes to other planets in your chart.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need my exact birth time?
Not necessarily. Your North Node sign can usually be determined with just your birth date. If you don't know your birth time, use noon (the default). The main planetary positions will remain consistent, though your Ascendant (rising sign) and possibly Moon sign may vary.
What if my city isn't listed?
If you can't find your exact birth city in the selections, use the closest city to your birthplace. Small geographic differences typically don't change your North Node sign — only precise Moon and Ascendant calculations are affected by exact location.
What will my results show?
Your results include your North Node sign, South Node sign (always opposite), and a personalized interpretation of what these placements mean for your life purpose, karmic patterns, and growth direction, along with your complete planetary positions.
Is the North Node the same as my Sun sign?
No. Your Sun sign is based on the Sun's position at your birth and changes monthly. Your North Node is based on the Lunar Nodes' position and changes roughly every 18 months. They represent different things: your Sun sign reflects your core identity, while your North Node reveals your soul's growth direction.
