What is my North Node? Enter your birth date and place to find your North Node and South Node signs in seconds, free. Add your birth time to see their houses too. The North Node points to the direction that helps you grow; the South Node shows the comfort zone you are moving beyond.
The lunar nodes are the two points where the Moon's orbit crosses the path of the Sun. They are not planets, but astrologers have read them for centuries. The North Node shows the qualities you are here to develop — they feel unfamiliar, sometimes uncomfortable, and deeply rewarding. The South Node, always in the opposite sign, shows the talents and habits you already rely on.
Because the nodes move slowly backwards through the zodiac and spend about eighteen months in each sign, everyone born in the same stretch shares the same North Node sign. The house it falls in — which needs your birth time — makes it personal.
Think of the nodes as one axis. The South Node is where you start: easy, practised, maybe a little worn out. The North Node is where you are going. Growth rarely means rejecting your South Node gifts; it means using them in service of the new direction.
This calculator uses the true node, which follows the Moon's real wobble. The mean node is a smoothed average. They are usually within a degree or two of each other and only differ in sign when you were born close to a change of sign.

The South Node is always exactly opposite the North Node — the calculator shows both.
The nodes stay in each sign for about eighteen months, so they describe a generation's direction as well as yours. The house placement is what makes it individual.
Your natal North Node stays the same. The transiting nodes move on, and when they return to your natal position about every 18.6 years, many people notice a turning point.
