Astrology is all about nodes. Nodes are sensitive points in the natal chart that can be interpreted. Obvious examples of nodes are the Nodes of the Moon. The Ascendant, Midheaven, Vertex, and other sensitive horoscope points are nodes. The 12 House Cusps are ... nodes. The planetary orbits create a system of nodes, a system of inclinations and disinclinations.

Astrology has enjoyed a new popularity in the second half of the 20th century. Millions still practice it worldwide. In the US, newspapers and magazines carry daily and weekly horoscopes. Americans will buy 20 million books on astrology this year, more than four times the number two years ago. Celebrities such as Shirley Temple Black claim to use astrology in their daily lives—even Ronald and Nancy Reagan openly admit to using astrology to help them make decisions while in the White House.

Astrology has had an influence on both language and literature. For example, influenza, from medieval Latin influentia meaning influence, was so named because doctors once believed epidemics to be caused by unfavorable planetary and stellar influences. The word "disaster" comes from the Latin dis-aster meaning "bad star". Adjectives "lunatic" (Luna/Moon), "mercurial" (Mercury), "venereal" (Venus), "martial" (Mars), "jovial" (Jupiter/Jove), and "saturnine" (Saturn) are all old words used to describe personal qualities said to resemble or be highly influenced by the astrological characteristics of the planet, some of which are derived from the attributes of the ancient Roman gods they are named after. In literature, many writers, notably Geoffrey Chaucer[21][22][23] and William Shakespeare,[24][25] used astrological symbolism to add subtlety and nuance to the description of their characters' motivation(s). Often, an understanding of astrological symbolism is needed to fully appreciate such literature.

The Astrology of America's Destiny - A Birth-Chart for the United States, by Dane Rudhyar. This is the only book featuring a US Horoscope with a 13°10' Sagittarius Ascendant, based on historical records. The long suspense regarding the Year 2000 American Presidential Election ended within 36 hours of an exact Pluto transit of the United State's Ascendant. Later, the unprecedented attack on US soil on 11 September 2001 occurred when Pluto was within one-half degree of the USA Ascendant. Now, after decades of neglect, this birth-chart of the United States has become widely accepted in the astrological community.
