Do you give much weight to the north node/south node and Chiron?

No I hardly pay attention to them in my interpretations. Someone did look at my chart and gave me a lot of interpretations about Chiron and they were so on point though that it makes me feel like if I incorporate anything additional beyond planets MC ascendant maybe Chiron would be next

None whatsoever.
Morin rejected the nodes on the grounds that different medieval astrologers could give contradictory interpretations. Reading modern authors, I found exactly the same thing.
As for asteroids, ancient astrologers knew seven out of ten planets, and so one might expect their interpretations to be at least 70% correct. If each planetesimal had the effect of a planet, then, with around 4000 missing bodies, a conventional chart would be worthless. On the other hand, if the traditional chart is, say, 75% complete, then each planet is over a thousand times more significant than each asteroid. There is also the problem of the interpretation of Chiron, which (as with asteroids) has relied heavily on mythology. The astrologers who determined the nature of Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto did it by astrological research, not by copying bits out of a compendium of Greek myths.

In sidereal (especially Vedic), the nodes are a HUGE focus! They are considered to be shadow planets and usually malefic for that. When I was studying tropical, I didn’t pay as much attention to the nodes. I’ve Chiron in sag 7th house for both so that placement didn’t change.

Yes they are important for different types of chart analysis.

My north node is square moon in my chart & it hits the nail on the head. I struggle expressing my sensitive side (my concerns sound more like me being angry especially) or I come off as cold because I don’t like to show vulnerability (scorpio sun & moon). Much of the time my conflicts relate to issues with my mom (highlighted in this particular square). We have a weird connection that borderlines on toxic from time to time. I sometimes self isolate because I feel that I struggle to connect with others & it bothers me. I get self conscious about how I behave with people, for example ruminating on encounters where I could have handled things differently. But it’s mostly in my head as with age talking these things out with close friends & my partner they’d never guess how hard I am on myself internally. Not to sound depressing, I’m glad to have learned these things about myself so I can work on fixing them. Childhood & past lives play a big role in these areas as well which means it isn’t entirely in your control or in a place you can see it clearly.

south node is ur comfort zone some of the old ways have to be discard integrate with new north node…north node is what u lean on learning or growth on…i think any conjunction of north node will bring greater importance especially if chiron conjunct with it or ur sun/moon because that means it will come up quite often in a way.

Yes I do they are super important, as is black moon lilith. Also, I prefer the vedic astrology understandings of the nodes (Rahu and Ketu). Western astrology has the wrong idea about what those points mean
