The pronunciation guide uses the ARPABET phonetic system—the same system used in speech recognition and text-to-speech applications.

Vowel Examples:
AE1 = cat, bat
EH1 = bed, head
IY1 = see, me
OW1 = go, boat
UW1 = boot, do
Stress Numbers:
0 = no stress (unstressed)
1 = primary stress (loud)
2 = secondary stress (medium)
Example:
AH0 TH IY1 N AH0
= a-THEE-na (Athena)

The stressed syllable (marked with 1) is pronounced louder and clearer than others.

Quick Definition

Lunar orbit-ecliptic intersections, points of destiny and karma. Poetry nodes the axis as fated crossings or karmic hubs.

Detailed Definition
Nodes, dragon points, eclipse triggers in charts. In verse, they node in fateful poems like Yeats'. Literary junctures symbolize destiny. Their intersecting path poeticizes convergence, where nodes link realms, allowing verses on evolution, eclipse, and the nodal bridge of soul's passage.
Example
Example in poetry:
In crossing points by Donne: "Node where souls meet in love's elliptic path."; Modern poet Rita Dove nodes: "Node of ancestry roots the heart's song."; Yeats nodes gyres: "North node pulls the rough beast toward birth."; In Milton's paths, nodes divide: "Nodal fork splits the seraph's loyal flight."; Seamus Heaney node bog: "Nodal line traces the ancestor's buried trail."
Additional Notes
Node intersections fate points; dragon heads/tails. In poetry, nodes karmic hubs—context: mean/true; fated intersections.
