The Lunar Nodes - Rahu, Ketu and the hungry Dragon

Astrology is Earth-centred, the Sun circuits the same band of constellations each year. And astrologers call that band the Zodiac or Ecliptic. The Moon orbits the Earth. It too sweeps out another circle. But the Plane of the Moon’s Orbit is inclined by about five degree to the Ecliptic. Lunar nodes are then the points of intersection of the Moon’s orbit with the ecliptic. Both lunar and solar eclipses occur when the full Moon or the new Moon are near either lunar node. Despite only being two points in space, these nodes are treated by astrologers as though they were planets joined together by “the dragon”. The importance of these nodes has been widely recognised and in Hindu Vedic astrology they are called Rahu and Ketu. The nodes take about 18.6 years, to go through the entire zodiac. This cycle is used by scientists, because the lunar nodes have an effect on Earth's tides – atmospheric, oceanic, and crustal. Lunar nodal precession, for example, is predicted to contribute to a rapid rise in the frequency of coastal flooding throughout the 2030s. The meanings of the North and South Nodes, are complementary but they act like 'amplifiers'. Whatever planet[s] or house they are in, they amplify . And this in turn can create the genius or prophet. But with this gift, we also find horrendous suffering. "The very excesses with which they were gifted, mean they are constantly battling to even stay sane".
