I, myself would consider this lucky (of course a Jupiter Sun may say this), LOL!

Never have I heard this before but, intuitively it seems that it would help one recognize goals better as well as be more expressive towards reaching them. This would also place your sun opposite the South node and therefor less affected by it's pull. I myself like to focus energy towards my North node.

Anyways as with all factors of your chart it's a bit of play and feel for what is true to you. Does it work in the way I described, does it seem to make things smoother or more difficult. Do you feel it at all?

He never knew his black father,and his white mother was abusive. He grew up dealing with racism in Quebec.

He had social anxiety disorder, but he might have had other issues like paranoia(He was afraid to put his required personal information on job applications). He was an alcoholic. He beat up on women including the mother of his child.

He was just a crazy guy with serious issues. He was strugging with "inner demons"

Also...Sun conjunct North Node is interpreted differently in Vedic Astrology. North Node is known as Rahu in that system. Rahu is considered a malefic in Vedic Astrology. Rahu is known as the head of the demon in Vedic Astrology.

Rahu points to the direction of spiritual growth for an individual and wherever he is placed in a chart there will be a tendency to indulgence or obsession. In many ways the path that Rahu indicates is designed to lead the individual to self-destruction. It is said that Rahu gives and Ketu takes away but to be more accurate Rahu gives in the same manner that a drug dealer "gives' since what he gives is designed to hook into you and become a need which leads toward ones own downfall.

Rahu is especially associated with the sense of emptiness that must be fed regardless of the problems it causes. This is the emptiness of the addict, the workaholic or the serial killer.

Rahu has a very strong affiliation with the air. Airplanes, aviation, pilots and space travel all fall under his influence. Rahu can involve one in areas of life considered somewhat taboo by conventional society such as astrology, metaphysics, occultism, witchcraft, cults, skin diseases, executions and epidemics. Rahu also has a tendency to drive one toward areas where deception and the hidden aspect of something play a large role such as politics, revolutions, drugs, secret societies, mysteries, inventions, scientists, deceit, affairs and taboo sexual appetites.

See the article on Ketu for animal affiliations common between both "planets".

Snakes encountered in dreams or in life are often thought to be manifestations of Rahu. http://www.circlesoflight.com/vedic-astrology/rahu.html

According BENEATH A VEDIC SKY by William R. Levacy

Conjunction of Sun and Rahu

Keywords: Sun = Activity; Rahu = Shadows

Favorable: Spiritual capacity;benefits from work overseas or in foreign countries;involved in unusual occupations or does normal occupations in an unusual or inventive manner

Unfavorable: Lack of confidence and self-awareness;poor evaluation;worried,confused,and unclear;health problems that are hard to diagnose;difficult life for the father,or relationship with father may have been distant or rough in some way

the unfavorable Sun conj Rahu fits him to a T.

My Sun is in the Rahu-ruled nakshatra,Swati,and I can relate to both of the positives and negatives of Sun-Rahu. My Moon is in the Rahu-ruled nakshatra,Satabisha, and I can relate to the positives and negatives of Moon-Rahu
