Line of Nodes: Intersection of Referencing Plane and Referenced Plane Example 1: Ecliptic and Lunar Orbits; Line of Rahu-Ketu is intersection of two orbital planes. Eclipses occur when Sun and Moon align with this line. Example 2: Equatorial Plane and Ecliptic Plane; The intersection of these two lines is called Equinox(No badgering re: equinox: length of day = night; This is the way people use in A & A). When Sun and aligns with this line, Vernal(Autumnal) Equinox occurs. This can be extended and exemplified. Quote
