Annular means that the Moon will be so close to the Earth that it won’t blot out the Sun, but be wholly contained in the Sun, forming a “ring” of light. If you haven’t been noticing it already, people are just a bit excitable right now.
The Nodes are representations of an energy of a spiritual/karmic sort. In Hindu astrology the Nodes are Rahu and Ketu, asuras, or “spirits/demons” that are uncontrollable and dangerous, much like the spiritual kundalini fire resident in each of us.

There’s some pretty wild stuff for the latter half of November 2016, which can make for an interesting month. We have a supermoon on Nov. 14, followed by a Neptune station on Nov. 19, and then over the Thanksgiving holiday we have an exact square of Jupiter to a conjunction of Venus and Pluto.
Consciousness is an energy, much like a flame, and much in similitude to the Divine; and it cannot and will not be imprisoned long in the ludicrous smallness which it many times finds itself in.

Or that same free will can choose to reanimate those same ludicrous strictures on its life, and we always have the choice.
