Your chart can give a location to something you could never land on.

The lunar nodes are a good example. What, exactly, are those two markers locating?

NASA's explanation starts with the Moon's tilted orbit. Its plane meets the plane of Earth's orbit at two opposite directions in the sky:

• Ascending / North Node: the Moon crosses from south to north of the ecliptic.
• Descending / South Node: it crosses from north to south.

Those names describe crossing directions. The nodes mark orbital geometry; they aren't additional moons.

A simple chart check: if one node is at 8° Libra, the opposite point is 8° Aries. That's an illustrative axis, not today's sky. The geometry identifies the points; astrological meaning remains interpretation.

Hypergate for Mac includes nodes among its searchable chart points. Explore the studio: https://hypergate.ai/mac

Mac app is a separate purchase, requires macOS 26+. AI membership is separate.
