plane of Pluto’s orbit inclined or titled at an
angle to it.
5. The orbital plane of Pluto intersects the orbital
plane of the Earth (ecliptic) at two points, called
the "nodes."
6. The north or ascending node refers to that
zodiac point where Pluto passes from under to
above the plane of the ecliptic, while the south
or descending node refers to where Pluto
passes through the zodiac plane, from above
(ecliptic north) to below (ecliptic south).
7. The diagram shows Pluto and Earth at different
points in their orbit. If Earth were also at the
point where Pluto is (horizontal dotted line),
then this would be a conjunction of the Earth
and Pluto is an alignment of the Earth, Pluto,
and the Sun center in zodiac longitude and not
necessarily in zodiac latitude. When might a
conjunction in both longitude and latitude take
place? The answer is if both the Earth and
Pluto were at one of their nodes. At that point,
there would be no latitude for Pluto.
8. Be sure to note that most astrologer's charts
ignore the latitude factor in planetary positions,
and just list the longitude.
