the moon's nodes


Explanation:
According to the site below:

"The Moon's Nodes are points in space representing the points where the moon's orbit around the earth crosses the ecliptic. The North Node is the point where the Moon's orbit rises above the Ecliptic, and the South Node is the point where the Moon's orbit falls below the Ecliptic. The North Node and the South Node are always exactly opposite each other in the chart."

Just some reference material/lunar nodes


Explanation:
Der Mondknoten
Erläuterung: Die Dauer eines Umlaufes des Mondknoten durch die Ekliptik, ca. 18,6 Jahre. Die Mondknoten sind die Schnittpunkte der Mondbahn mit der Ekliptik. Durchwandert der Mond die Ekliptik von Süden nach Norden, dann geht er durch den aufsteigenden Mondknoten, den man auch Drachenkopf nennt, geht er von Norden nach Süden durch die Ekliptik, dann durchläuft er den absteigenden Mondknoten, der auch Drachenschwanz genannt wird.
