Actually, it's more about heliocentric planetary nodes which Grant Lewi and Carl Payne Tobey used. Robert Blachske,Diana Rosenberg,and Pamela Rowe use the heliocentric planetary nodes too. The Beta Star of Libra is Zuben Eschamali (Northern Scales), and it has been at star that's assigned an influence of Mercury/Jupiter/Mars As you know, the heliocentric nodes move so slow that they move slower than the outer planets including Eris ,and so aspects to them are more like connections to the collective instead of generations. for example on my moment of birth: Mercury(my chart ruler) is in 18'21 Scorpio Zuben Elschamali is in 18'58 Scorpio Heliocentric South Mercury Node in 17'59 Scorpio Heliocentric South Mar Nodes in 19'20 Scorpio As you see, My Mercury is conjunct Heliocentric Mercury and Mars Node and in alignment with Zuben Elschamali My question is can an alignment to Zuben Elschamali have a Mercury and Mars influence due to the conjunction? How do you isolate the fixed star Zuben Elschamali from the heliocentric South Mercury and South Mars Nodes which are conjunct each other. There are very strong Mercury and Mars themes in my life, but I am not sure how much of that is associated with Zuben Elschamali and how much is associated with the Heliocentric Mercury and Mars Node. The same with my mom who has her chart ruler Moon in Scorpio conjunct the Heliocentric Mercury and Mars Node and alignment with Zuben Elschamali.
