Moon is only a few degrees ahead of Mars but it is way above it in tonight's clear sky. The north node is in Virgo, 2 signs back from Scorpio where Mars is now at 24degrees. The north node is where Moon crosses above the ecliptic. They call it the dragon's head because the Moon appears to weave above and below the ecliptic like a snake.
When the Moon gets to the. 3rd sign from the north node it is at its highest point above the ecliptic. So tomorrow night, when it is near Saturn in Sagittarius it will also be high above Saturn.
The north node is on the right side of the chart near Jupiter. They are in the middle of Virgo. Mars is now a bit further west of MC.
