The lunar nodes are not planets or celestial bodies.  However, they are specific points in the sky within your birth chart that tell us about your current destiny and past lives.  They are two points where the Moon’s orbital path crosses the ecliptic, the sun’s apparent yearly path on the celestial sphere.  The north lunar node sometimes also called the true node, or Rahu in Vedic astrology tells us more about your current destiny and where you are headed.
