North Node Conjunct South Node
North Node conjunct South Node is structurally impossible — the two nodes are by definition the ends of a single axis, always exactly 180° apart.
Aspect: 0° · Nature: blending
What this aspect is
The lunar nodes are not separate bodies — they are the two intersection points of the Moon's orbit with the ecliptic. By definition they sit exactly opposite each other on the chart. They cannot be conjunct.
If a chart shows North Node conjunct South Node, the chart is using a non-standard definition of one or both nodes (e.g. a transiting body called a 'node' that isn't actually a node) or there's a calculation error.
Strengths and gifts

Context
Structural impossibility documented for SEO honesty. The nodes always oppose each other by definition.
