Product Description
A world-renowned astrologer reveals the path to successful relationships....
In this powerful guide, astrology expert Jan Spiller shows you how the practical science of astrology can lead to real-life results in the realm of intimate relationships. Moving beyond the commonly known sun-sign profiles, Spiller delves into the meanings and mysteries of your personal North Node—the vital point where the orbits of the earth, moon, and sun intersect—to help you bring love into your life. For more than thirty years, she has studied how the effects of the Nodes of the Moon help us steer our life force in positive ways, accept the possibilities the universe has placed in our path, and stop sabotaging relationships. By locating the position of your North Node, which can be found in the chart provided, and the house in which it falls in an important relationship, Spiller helps you discover the astrological, psychological, and spiritual tools to:
• Learn the secrets to open up intamacy and enjoy satisfying, lifelong romance
• Move beyond old hurts that can tear a relationship apart
• Allow others to be themselves–and not try to change them
• Experiment with new ways of interacting in important relationships
• Discover what gifts your partner brings to you–and what gifts you bring to your partner
• Navigate the energy of pastlife connections

• Great Resource! 20 June, 2008
Jan Spiller offers good to great insights on individual node positions and synastry between two charts, including house position for both parties (the one who receives the planet in a house and the one whose planet lands there)and conjunction/opposition to North and South Nodes. Scenarios suggested for conjunctions to South Nodes were amazingly correct in my experiences - and they are delineated for both the South Node and the planet persons. Spiller also includes blurbs on Node position in composite charts. Since she is so knowledgeable in regard to Nodes, I really wished she would have gone further into composite charts with aspects as well. I recommend this book for any level of astrological student or practicioner.

• Finally, The Nodes Give Up Their Wisdom... 12 March, 2008
This book is so good that I can't understand why no one has reviewed it. Finally, Western wisdom conquers the Nodes - this may be the first book that matches what Vedic astrology offers on the Nodes. Astrology for the Soul established her reputation in the field, but Cosmic Love is a culminating work that will eventually get as much if not more use among astrologers.
The author does a wonderful job of making the nodes accessible to novices while managing not to water it down for the rest of us. Let the accompanying website cosmiclove.com to run the synastry calculations for you. Even those who are used to spotting synastry connections among horoscopes will appreciate how much time and effort this saves.
Now what's so good about this book? When I read Astrology For The Soul, I didn't really get the archetypes behind the Node in each sign. Cosmic Love avoids this problem by showing how the nodes shape interactions among you and everyone you know. Let's say you don't have enough self-awareness to get a real sense of the way a Node operates from reading a description of your own behavior. You will grasp it a lot more easily when you can relate it to your interactions with your special love, siblings, friends, and parents.
The descriptions fit. You find yourself thinking, "I always knew this friend or grandparent or nephew brought that into my life". Particularly in cases where the Nodes of those you know overlap positions in your own houses, you will really spot some similarities in interactions that you might not have been aware of before.
Where does this book fall short? Although Spiller describes the South Node as karmic issues carrying over from a previous life, the premise that people operate primarily from their North Node doesn't always ring true. Some people really seem more strongly oriented to their South Node. It may be more accurate to think in terms of an energy axis between the Nodes, with the "current" potentially accumulating at either Node, not just the North Node. In terms of figuring out synastry, however, the North Node seems to work fairly consistently.
This book is a must-read for anyone who read Astrology For The Soul, and I think most will agree that the sequel is stronger. You will use this book when you interpret horoscopes, even if you do the Nodes primarily from a Vedic standpoint. It is astrology-lite, but Spiller's "pop" astrology can be pretty darn good.

• Wonderful And Different Enough From The Original 12 April, 2008
I picked up this book, not knowing what to expect and I really think it lives up to its description and actually delivers more than it says. It's really insightful and provides nodal information in an interactive light. I love that it includes the aspects and recommendations for what to encourage and discourage in certain nodal positions.
Now to apply the information to myself and my peers! :)
