"When Worlds Collide, Another Look at the Lunar Nodes" by Kathy Allan

When Worlds Collide: Another Look at the Lunar Nodes by Kathy Allan

Kathy Allan is an astrologer who is certified at the professional level by the American Federation of Astrologers. Her revised delineation of the lunar nodes develops and refines astrological techniques to improve natal interpretation and predictive accuracy.  Allan states, “I envision the nodes as passageways, between the manifest and the unmanifest, the physical world and the otherworld, the mortal and the immortal, the mundane and the miraculous. They mark the points of intersection where the ‘North’ and ‘South’ worlds collide—and real magic happens.” Beautifully said!

In the first 50 pages, the author reviews Jyotish and Western views of the nodes. There is a fascinating history of the nodes’ uses and mythology. She addresses the many misconceptions of the nodes by astrologers in the past and she traces the ideas of modern authors, such as Carl Jansky, Celeste Teal, Judith Hill, and many others. 

After she generously shares her own personal techniques of interpreting a chart, she spends over 300 pages where she examines the natal charts of public figures, as well as significant life events with a focus on pre-natal solar eclipses and the nodal points which serve as superb predictive timers. Carl Jung, Julian Assange, Evangeline Adams, Albert Einstein, Princess Diana, Steve Jobs, Barack Obama, Mitt Romney, and others, have chapters with well-told life stories. Some of the entities and events analyzed are the Federal Reserve, the Stock Market Crashes, the Indonesian tsunami, Hurricane Katrina, and the Gulf Oil Spill.

This important book is a must have for any serious astrologer’s library.
