I have the Moon in Aries (7th H) square my NN in Capricorn (4th) and am very stuck in the manifesting of a life long project & obsessive about making it happen.

Interesting. I have Jupiter at the South Bending – also in the 12th House. I’ve written and self-published 3 novels (a fantasy trilogy) – but selling my books? That’s a different story!

so a saturn pis 12 pluto virgo 6 opposition exactly squaring the nodal axis(nt node 14 gem 3)

the pluto is the south bending, and the sat the north?
the best any astrologer(joytish) came up with to integrate my saturn was that i should do spiritual retreat, which i have done and enjoyed and derived huge personal benefit from, yet am now blocked from doing again, and as a result my resume is ‘too interesting’ for employers, life is stuck, any suggestions?

Agree with Cathy in that this is an entirely new concept for me as well – must’ve missed the article in the past MA to which you referred. Just pulled up WinsStar and I see I have mercury and Jupiter both square the nodes. I’ll have to ponder this some more. Thanks, Mary!

Hi Cathy,

A planet at the bending is a square to the nodal axis. An inconjunct is a different matter..

Planets at the bending have a long history..I think of it as a planet (and it’s many layers of meaning) as having a critical part to play..the ancients thought of it as dangerous in some ways..
that planet must get integrated, handled, dealt with for the essential paradox of the nodal axis to be expressed..

Here’s a blog I wrote last year with some ideas on how to interpret the bending..

I’m still not completely clear on the impact of the bendig – does it amplify those issues in the chart? I have a Sun in 25 Aquarius inconjunct the South Node in 23 Cancer. The SN is also conjoined Uranus and the Moon in Leo is about 10 degrees away. How would you factor an inconjunct?

Many thanks for this fascinating concept. It is brand new to me and I really appreciate this.

Warmest wishes!

Hi Mary, excellent blog. I’ve found that significators in horary found at the bendings have dramatic influence on the outcome of matters. Especially if the querent’s significator is at the bendings whether applying North or South. The same applies in electionals such as wedding charts. You mentioned hearing about friends’ relationships ending. Same here. I can vouch for the Juno connection we’re watching right now. Thank you, Mary.
