The two points in a planet's orbit which intercept the Earth's path around the sun (otherwise known as the ecliptic).
(of the moon): These are not tangible bodies, but are points in space that represent an intersection in the Moon's path. On one side, the point is called the South Node, and on the other, the point is called the North Node. The South Node explains what you brought into this life that you already know and wasting energy in this area will not benefit your future. The North Node represents the exact opposite. It shows where you should focus and grow in order to achieve the kind of success that will be fulfilling to you.
Devices on a network that demand or supply services or where transmission paths are connected. Node is often used instead of workstation.

(line of) line identified by the intersection between the orbital plane of the Earth and that of the Moon, or, in the general case, between the orbital planes of any two celestial bodies. It is the line along which three bodies align when an eclipse occurs.
The point in the zodiac where a planet, particularly the Moon, passes from southern into northern lattitude is called the North Node and when moving in the opposite direction (crossing from north to south) is called the South Node. The motion of the Moon's Mean Node is retrograde, about 3' per day (see Dragon's Head). The True Node oscillates according to the Moon's "wobble" caused by the gravitational effects of the Earth/Moon interaction, so sometimes has periods of direct motion. The Mean Node averages this "wobble" out. The north node is called the ascending, the south the descending node. Neither the Sun nor the Earth have nodes. More on the Moon's Nodes.
