The Lunar Nodes are very important aspects of the birth chart analysis. The symbolism attributed to the Nodes focuses not only on Western Astrology but also on Vedic or Indian Astrology. The Nodes of the Moon are the North Node and the South Node. The latter is the expression of the path that leads to the past.
While the North Node represents life purpose and growth potential, the South Node represents everything that happened, the legacy of the past. The Nodes are one of the astrological elements that allow us to interpret the current manifestations of the personality and glimpse the difficulties that delay or impede the soul's progress.
What is the South Node's Meaning in Astrology and the Astral Chart?
The South Node represents everything that happened: the habits of childhood or past lives. The sun sign and the house (a sign of the Zodiac) where the South Node was at birth indicate how we tend to face life. By referring to a past already traveled and known, this Node is related to family activities and, therefore, less challenging for the soul.
If you make your birth chart, the influence of experiences and past lives is represented by the house and aspects of the South Node. This is the old part of the psyche, where the questions to be clarified reside. It is also where survival strategies were formulated, and emotional stimuli and automatic reactions met. The skills that the soul knows are in the South Node.
As in the South Node, everything seems natural, easy, and comfortable; we risk being trapped in the past. This is a comfort zone, where the soul stops and stagnates. We can get bored, limited, stagnant, and without energy. It is also where unconscious compulsions and inflexible behaviors originate that tend to cause breakdown and destruction.
In present relationships, the position of the South Node in the birth chart reflects or indicates past life connections or commitments. Relationships that seem fatal or inevitable generally have a strong connection to the South Node. Aspects related to the Node can become more interesting if an eclipse occurs or according to the relationship between the sun sign and the house of the Node.
In Chinese Astrology, the Nodes of the Moon are represented by a dragon. The North Node corresponds to the head (Dragon Head) and the South Node to its tail (Dragon Tail). Seen in this way, the symbolism attributed to each of the Nodes is understood: the North is the point where the food is ingested; the south is the point where the waste is expelled.
