Beginningless Karma and the Nodes of the Moon 

Dear Acyuta-bhava, I am a 73 year old man living in the mountains of Utah. I am in very poor health, 24/ oxygen and inhalers with other complications as well. My friend from North Carolina told me about you and am so grateful he did. I have been studying Evolutionary astrology for over 35 years with Jeffrey Wolfe Green and Steven Forrest. Now i have essentially converted over to Hellenistic astrology. Listening to your videos brings great joy and wisdom and it is real meaningful for me get things like this before I transition through the door. Namaste!

Brought up tears of emotion....I always say were always doing it for someone else in the end....like planting that tree you will never enjoy its shade....ty👌✌💜

I am SO grateful that you share so freely the knowledge you've obviously worked very hard to obtain. I've studied astrology (sporadically!) since I was a teenager (64 now) & have looked at Vedic astrology, "divined" my days with the I Ching, among many other modalities of self- understanding. Astronomy was a first love...and still fascinates. I studied philosophy in college and have thoroughly studied Krishnamurti...Joseph Campbell...now exploring the mind of Arthur M. Young (a great mind!) I feel so fortunate to be alive in a time when so much knowledge is available instantly...as well as our connection as intelligent humans. It's refreshing - and reassuring!- to know that YOU are doing this work for us in the world. You've cleared up some murky waters for me today.... Thank you!!!

This was next level, Adam. Absolutely fascinating and I really needed to have this perspective presented to my collective kleshas today in order to help the mind to become a little more clean clear. The samsaric dance is so lovely and terrifying and sublime. The readings were top notch. And you are so spot on about the fundamentally flawed understanding and usage of karma as some rectifying force that is time based with a past and future component. I am so grateful that you brought this moment of sanity to my beginningless now. Namaste.

Thank you for clarifying! I've always thought SN being the past NN moving toward lessons to learn was flawed. I'm having my second Nodal return and it FEELS a lot more about balancing the energy of the two signs and house placements. My SN is in the first, people keep saying "its about selfishness" NO IT IS NOT! I know that is not true, it is about balancing independence within relationship (7th house) It isn't "Oh you were selfish in a past life and now you have to learn to work with others" BS! It is moving into society Gemini and out of solitude Sagittarius (monk-like). It is about balancing the intuitive philosophical higher knowledge with the factual mundane knowledge. So glad to hear an astrologer get that right!

Now that makes sense. Ketu is in my 11th house in western astrology and organized religions , ironically, were the catalyst for my awakening.

Actually it helps you get to the root of issues in this life that may have been brought over from past lives-not only that it brings tremendous healing by tapping into your source self and it has brought instantaneous healing to some people. Quantum Healing Hypnosis/Past life regression is the bees knees.

I just realized that the So. Node is exactly at the degree of my Sun in Cancer today. Explains a lot about how I've been feeling. Good to hear you today!

I loved listening to you reading from the book, very appreciative of your teachings. The great deluge and the boat and the fish lord all sounded like the great flood and the arc crossover.. fish lord being Jesus, fish 🐟 Pisces. I’m not Christian; but I have heard the biblical stories. Great floods and deluges make me think of the great tidal waves caused by the sinking of Atlantis…

You’re conversations are always so deep and wonderful. Thank you. I do understand what you are saying. Love the Plato quotes too .

Thank you. I’m new to astrology. I came to astrology to heal childhood wound of watching my mom drown when I was eight. I just had one reading and what I loved most about the reading was to feel/sense a hollogram of my mother when we compared natal charts with the event chart. My chart is heavily Plutonian, Chiron and Lilith along a Pisces Virgo axis. My moon is Virgo/mom’s sun Virgo along this axis. Her and my N and S nodes lined up.(N Taurus S Scorpio) In a sense it answered many questions that an 8 yr old would have about a 27 yr old mom. I found it very beautiful. The last week knowing that I have two heavy duty years ahead of me for healing based on chart and astrologer interpretation I have spent some grueling days doing exactly what you discussed in terms of getting an A on a test so I don’t have to repeat these things (I’m exhausted trying not to drown myself is the predominant feeling I have carried for over forty years) I HAVE been torturing myself over S node lessons and N node recompassing. And have overwhelmed myself. I am grateful to you today to allow me a place to float/doggy paddle and Ask myself how much I need to know in order to get to shore. Or can I simply allow the waves to wash through me and find myself there without studying for a test. Thank you for the peace this brings to me today 🌟🙌💖🌊🌊🌊 🐟 🐠

Wow! That was deep and very well argued and supported. I have resisted the idea of samara because my current incarnation has been tough and I'm hoping to learn my life lessons and "get out" of this material plane. I like the story about the fish growing out of its spiritual waters and needing a new container. It matches what I've learned in discussions with reiki masters / intuitives. Going to listen to part 2 next...thank you for providing this content!

You took me to school for real today, Adam! And I loved every bit of it! You're an amazing teacher, and I LOVE nerding out with you. Your style totally satisfies my spiritually-minded and very heady nature (Virgo sun, Aquarius rising, Sagittarius moon). I've been considering joining your astrology school. 🤔 You've become my go to astrologer. I respect that you go in depth and don't dummy things down.

I never comment on videos. But your take on the lunar nodes is something I think anyone seeking knowledge should hear. What resonates most with me is that the “western” take on the north node being the direction we should go, and the south as what to avoid is fundamentally flawed. I have always placed a great deal of weight to the nodes because I was blown away by Jan Spillers book. It was like reading myself. And it did help gain clarity on issues I was experiencing at the time - first lunar return at 19. But now you have opened my mind to a greater possibility and I see that the south node should not be vilified and that each node doesn’t represent a direction we should go toward or away from. This was really insightful, and brief. I will be interested to hear more of your thoughts on these topics. (South node Pisces - so the metaphor of the ever growing fish was certainly personal) Thank you!

I'm going through my Saturn return and Ketu dasha, Venus antradasha..... many many many lessons in relationships... material loss and general unhappiness, a lot of loneliness and if not lonely, surrounded by people who want to abuse me. A lot of loss... Instability in my home life and moving a lot. very hard times indeed. only good thing is that I'm passing my classes in school....

Love this! Such valuable source material and commentary. Never too long. Making personal sense of the nodes of the moon for the first time in this lifetime! Thank you Adam --ever grateful!

Dear Adam ~ how timely (and timeless!) your presentation on the Nodes is for me... I’ve been “in the middle” ( & muddle ) of the very questions and conundrums you speak of here. I’ve been worried because my landscape of fervency, desire and yearning has become neutralized for most of this year ~ others tell me this is depression, yet I do not feel depressed- in fact, I feel no distress but, instead rather liberated and calm. It is only that other people think my current state of mind and being signals that something is “wrong” with me. I’ve experienced so many losses, disappointments and pain over the past decade, that I’m finally comfortable not seeing them as painful, etc any longer.

I watch all your videos, and this was by FAR my fave!

Just a beautiful talk today Adam! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and passion.

Fantastic, Adam! I've really enjoyed your previous podcasts on the Nodes. Thank you for bringing it all more together and up a notch here!
