South Node Astrology; What You've Come Into This Life to Change~

Some songs persist across time and space, love lost and found, youth and age. This song, written by a dear friend in the late sixties, who now lives in the Philippines, made it into my inbox this morning. Astrologically, he has a Scorpio Sun exactly conjunct my Scorpio South Node, (hinting of a past life connection) and in this life we are still continuing our karmic dance.

  Just Published! Kindle Edition of "South Node Astrology" is out on Amazon. In a few weeks it will also be available on Audible.com as well.  Jungian Astrologer, Elizabeth Spring, again brings the North and South Nodes to life, years after writing "North Node Astrology; Re-discovering Your Life Direction and Soul Purpose."  The story of your Nodes trace the trajectory of your Soul through time. What about the South Node? The South Node holds powerful insights into your soul's journey; what you got right, what you suffered from, and what you're carrying over into this life.  Understanding your unconscious patters can keep you from sabotaging yourself and your relationships. And what do you really know about a potential partner, or even your child?  We tend to repeat the past until we make it conscious; or as Carl Jung said: "When a given situation is not made conscious, it happens outside as fate." For students and astrologers this will be an excel

As many of you know, the North and South Nodes are mathematical points rather than planets, and are calculated by the intersecting orbits between the Earth, Sun, and Moon. Throughout the history of astrology these points have pointed to our re-incarnation history. The South Node describes the qualities of past incarnations and present spiritual lessons in this life, and the North Node describes the life direction, soul purpose, and compensatory behavior that is 'good medicine' for you now.      The Nodes can be seen as the trajectory of the Soul. Similar to the ancient astroglobes with an arrow piercing a circle (now often seen as garden sculptures) the arrow tip points in the direction of your North Node, like a North Star, and the South Node is the end tail of the arrow, and speaks symbolically of the past and the direction you want to move away from....old default habits. There needs to be a balance between the ends, because we cannot get rid of the past and the emotio

Fool's Gold; the Slippery Slope of the South Node    I'm thinking about another book, a sequel to "North Node Astrology; Redisovering Your Life Direction and Soul Purpose", and this new book, "South Node Astrolog y; " would focus on what each of us came into this life to change. Our re-incarnational agenda. how the emotional memory contained in the South Node influences how we live  in this life and why we keep repeating the same old mistakes and misjudgments. These patters sabotage us and keep us from living a better life, and loving more fully.  So what is this South Node? From the point of view of evolutionary astrology, the sign of your South Node describes your default pattern in life. It describes a way of being in the world which doesn't work well for you anymore. It represents something you are comfortable with, because earlier in this life or in a previous life (if you believe in reincarnation) it was your habitual pattern and where you

In Evolutionary astrology we look at the South Node with eyes that are biased to see what unfinished business, what blockage, what challenge was not met—either earlier in this life or in a former life. So, we read the South Node negatively. To read the “Venus ruled” Libra negatively can be hard, because there is so much charm and personality there. It’s similar to saying “that nice person at the party/the job/the meeting wasn’t really so nice after all.” Too much niceness, too much ‘trying to make the peace at any price’, too much caring what the other person thinks and feels, can make a person appear like a chameleon. Why is there such a desire to please? What woundedness is under that need? Enmeshment, co-dependence, and a subtle kind of opportunism and neediness are the worse traits of Libra; no matter if it be the Sun, Moon or South Node. In the South Node position, the emotional nature “remembers” on a cellular level an original closeness and unity
