The north node in Arda and south node in Mula are actually flagged in the ancient scriptures in terms of Ardra and Mula (which are at opposite ends to each other) being the hounds of Bhairava - the "dogs of hell" so to speak.

At this writing the south node is still in Mula but the north node has moved to Mrigasira that has eased things up since the end of summer.
