vibrations of the planet will be intensified in their negative
and positive expressions. A planet in conjunction with
the ascending node proves highly positive and beneficial.

like the two equinoxes. In the horoscope of a spiritualist,
the conjunction of any planet with one of the nodes either
at birth or in progression will create a great opportunity
to raise his level and reverse the direction of the wheel.
Even eclipses provide such opportunities to an advanced
student of spiritualism. The conjunction of Sun with the
ascending node causes a stir in Sahasra-ra, while that with
the descending node affects Mu-la-dha-ra. A conjunction of
