Lunar Nodes in Synastry
A node contact does not prove karma, destiny, a past life, or an obligation to continue a relationship. Scope is explicit.
Overview
B Sun is 2° from A true node; the receipt names true rather than mean node. This is the worked result for Lunar Nodes in Synastry; it remains conditional and does not turn geometry or timing into a verdict. The comparison method is explicit: Declare mean versus true node, calculate the exact conjunction or opposition and orb, identify the contacting planet, and compare repeated chart factors.

Definition and exact scope
Node synastry records contacts from another chart to the chosen mean or true lunar-node axis, with North and South treated as opposite points.
Calculation or decision rule
Declare mean versus true node, calculate the exact conjunction or opposition and orb, identify the contacting planet, and compare repeated chart factors. The receipt retains the chosen input record, reference frame, tolerance, and version, then identifies the first step where an independent recalculation diverges.
Worked case and illustrative near miss
A true north node 10°♌; B ☉ 12°♌; conjunction cap 3°. B Sun is 2° from A true node; the receipt names true rather than mean node.
Illustrative near miss; does not qualify: Calling the contact destined while hiding that a different node convention moves it outside the selected orb.
School, model, and context variants
A node contact does not prove karma, destiny, a past life, or an obligation to continue a relationship.
Product, safety, and verification boundary
OpenFate connects Lunar Nodes in Synastry only to the two-chart compatibility flow and natal evidence; it does not score destiny or guarantee a relationship result. Lunar Nodes in Synastry preserves contrary observations and uncertainty. It cannot replace consent, professional help, location research, or a person’s account.
