The Polar Opposite: Your North Node (Soul Path) is in .
What is the South Node?
In evolutionary astrology, the South Node (also known as Ketu in Vedic astrology) represents your past lives, your karmic inheritance, and the qualities that come naturally to you. These are the behaviors, talents, and habits you have already mastered in previous incarnations.
The Meaning of Your South Node
While the South Node represents your "comfort zone," it can also become a place of stagnation if you rely on it too heavily. The goal of your soul's journey is to move from the South Node's familiar energy toward the growth-oriented lessons of your North Node.
South Node Signs and Their Themes
Aries: Moving from self-reliance and impulsiveness toward partnership and balance.
Taurus: Moving from material attachment and stubbornness toward spiritual transformation.
Gemini: Moving from scattered information toward higher wisdom and truth.
Cancer: Moving from emotional dependency toward professional authority and structure.
Leo: Moving from the need for individual applause toward collective contribution.
Virgo: Moving from perfectionism and anxiety toward surrender and faith.
Libra: Moving from pleasing others toward self-assertion and independence.
Scorpio: Moving from intense drama toward stability and self-worth.
Sagittarius: Moving from dogmatic beliefs toward practical facts and communication.
Capricorn: Moving from workaholism toward emotional nurturing and family.
Aquarius: Moving from detachment and groups toward heart-centered leadership.
Pisces: Moving from escapism toward grounded analysis and service.
Example Calculation
If you were born on May 15, 1990, the North Node was in Aquarius. Therefore, your South Node is in Leo. This suggests that in past lives, you may have been a leader, royalty, or a performer. In this lifetime, your task is to use that natural confidence to help the collective (Aquarius) rather than just seeking personal glory.
