Hi Rad,
Thank you, this is very helpful.
One part which I want to shed more light on is the dynamic(s) that lead into skipped steps.
*****************************
I’ve had two cases where Rad, you have told me that a skipped step could develop in the next lifetime if the issues around the sun(in one case) or planet nodes(in another case) squaring the nodes were not integrated(is that the right word/conceptual understanding?)
******************************
Not integrated as in avoiding, yes. And there are many possibilities that can correlate to developing skipped steps in any given life. Not just the Sun squaring the Nodes in the natal chart.

You wrote "
not integrated as in avoiding, yes"
When we see avoidance of a piece/part of the evolutionary path, this has the potential to lead into a skipped step?
Or does there also need to be some aspect to the nodes telling us that both nodes have been partly, but not fully developed to some degree?
Conjunctions to the south node most commonly mean relive/resolve/release
and fruition. So, simply having a south node conjunction could be a clue about needing to relive and resolve a dynamic of the south node(and it's ruler)
Now if we also have some aspect/activation to the north node - does this set up the potential to have some development of each node while leaving the possibility of not fully resolving either node?
So, that could be scenario/example of another way to foresee developing skipped step?
Basically, I'm wondering does it come down to seeing an activation of both nodes and then whether or not one is facing and not avoiding that which needs integration relative to the interconnected dynamics?
whether it be sn venus square nodes, or something like the above? Is that right?
For example, lets say mars waxing trines the north node cancer(so both nodes active prior to this life), and the ruler of sn Cap is Saturn which is retrograde. If there was a sense of not revisiting the issues of the retrograde saturn by house and sign, thus avoiding to fully deal with them, could that not be another example of potential dynamics that lead into skipped steps? Because we know that:
A. Both nodes have been active
B. Some issue relative to sn needs resolve
In this example, relative to the waxing trine mars to nn, they become very full of the desire to actualize the nn - also a clue to the potential to leave issues unresolved.
I get that there are many ways and that there is not a set formula to determine this.
Working here to be able to pick up on these types of situations where we can help people before it gets even more extreme of a back and forth.
Thanks again,
Goddess Bless,
Bradley
