I was inspired by the thread that Ami did, when I noted that everyone was speaking about the North Node conjunctions...

In any case, I was thinking on the subject of South Node conjunctions to planets. So what I'm wondering is, do planets conjunct the South Node make those planets function almost like a retrograde planet, in that they are blocks that need to be moved past? It seems like, from my experience, that the south node planet REALLY colors the worldview and the focus of the person, to the point where it is difficult for that individual to focus on other areas of life.

I personally have a south node conjunction to Neptune. I have a friend who has a south node conjunction to Venus. And the Scorpio I was talking about, who has Pluto combust his Sun in the 8th house- those planets are conjunct his south node.

One thing I've noted about all of us, is that those planets conjunct our south node seem to be like anchors. My personality on the whole is very focused on the spiritual and the metaphysical and I tend to get daydreamy and scattered when I am wanting to avoid what's really going on. Now, Neptune is not a terribly strong influence in my chart, but I still notice its effects. It does color my world view, as I believe very much in treating life like a spiritual lesson, and all of this physical, tangible stuff (like amassing a small fortune) is not necessary to focus on.

I think what really struck me though, are my two friends, ESPECIALLY the one with the Venus conjunction to his south node. He is VERY good looking and it seems to me that he relies on that as almost a crutch to get through life. My other friend, with the Pluto/Sun/South Node conjunction in Scorpio in the 8th house is like a freaking super Scorpio, but I've noticed that his worldview tends to be more suspicious of others and this causes him to be more dictatorial/manipulative/power grabbing even with the people he cares about. Luckily my Saturn conjuncts his Pluto/Sun/SN so I seem to inherently understand this, and I've actually been able to help him out a bit when it came to smoothing things over with another one of our friends that he upset.

For me SN conjunctions feel like part of the view we habitually come from, our homeostasis, or the path of least resistance. It's familiar territory and therefor a safe space to abide (even if the space is destructive).

Mine is in Aries 12th house and it is very easy for me to retreat inward for selfish reasons, or use the excuse of self-preservation to retreat from being socially available for others. I never feel as comfortable as I do when I am by myself and focused on getting to know my self. My greatest challenge is the belief that getting to know others, especially in the spirit of service to mankind, is my whole reason for existing.

Moon conjunct south node people have mastered the psychic realm in a past life.

There, that's it. lol

Everyone, including myself, who I know of to have the moon conjunct south node are very intuitive and "witchy", empathic, etc.

Yep, this is soooo true!
I have moon conjunct South Node in Virgo, squared by Chiron.

I've always felt more like a spiritual creature who belongs to the Universe, than a human being who have to live on the Earth... especially because here the rules are quite different. So, i figured out that one of my main lesson is to actually learn HOW to live and survive as a human being.
My N. Node conjunct my chart and MC ruler.

And just like britterfly, i also need to set myself free from my unrealistic emotions, and I shoould learn to rely more on reality then on those overwhelming feelings/emotions that makes no sense at all. And I think in my case the Moon-South Node also means that I should let go of some very horrible past life experiences (cause I was unconsciously clinging on them hoping that I can change the past) and learn to move forward and live in the present.

I read somewhere that if you have Moon-South Node then you have to do a lot "emotional cleaning" in order to able to move toward to your North Node, and it makes a lot of sense to me.

Sun conjunct South Node: me-first and arrogant but naturally confident, strong will and unique.

Moon conjunct South Node: emotional and moody but naturally well-rooted in their emotions and (family)past, physic abilities, uncomplicated and good instinct.

Mercury conjunct South Node: rational, superficial and chatty but naturally rational clarity and great skills with words and logic, curious and versatile.

Venus conjunct South Node: narcistic, relationship/love-sick, unreal and smooth-talking, inclined to laziness, naturally good tact, charm, civilized and ingrained sense of beauty.

Mars conjunct South Node: abrupt and conflicting, prickly and impatient but naturally active, enterprising and energetic.

Jupiter conjunct South Node: preachers, putting others upon ethics and condemnatory, naturally ethical knowledge, educators and bringers of faith.

Saturn conjunct South Node: full of seriousness, cold and heavily discouraging, naturally responsible and a steady rock, in touch with reality, burden-bearing liabilities.

Uranus conjunct South Node: eccentric, placing environment under high voltage, highly disruptive, of original nature and strong connection with 'intuitive knowledge' to social/collective improvements.

Neptune conjunct South Node: astray and dreamy and bogged in illusions, but naturally compassionate with everyone, acceptance of all life and universal oneness.

Pluto conjunct South Node: secretive, complicated and manipulative but naturally able to penetrate to the bottom of an issue and to understand and survive a heavy crisis.

I am not so sure I agree with the Saturn conjunct South Node interpretation. But then again, my Saturn conjuncts my south node AS WELL AS my ascendant, so I am not sure which one I am feeling more. Saturn conjunct ascendant supposedly accounts for my self-conscious and restricted obstacle, which I am attributing to Saturn conjunct South Node.

Contacts to planets by the nodes or in the same degree in any other sign, show that affairs ruled by the planet will get special attention in life. An example might be a node/Jupiter contact in the chart of one who travels a great deal, or whose work involves teaching or import/export of foreign goods, or philanthropy (working for a charitable institution, perhaps).

Planets in the same degree anywhere in the chart are a warning that affairs ruled by the planet will be a lifelong headache. For instance, Mars in 12 Taurus and the nodes at 12 degrees of any sign point to trouble with the things Mars rules in the birth pattern as well as things Mars rules in general, such as a hot temper, surgery, injuries, falls, and so on. In a particular chart it might also rule the tenth house, in which case temper or an accident could harm the career.

Planets activating the Jupiter/Saturn midpoint
Principle: Morality, meaning not only what one feels is generally good and bad, but your ideas about what is specifically good for you to do and what is bad for you. This pair rules assessments and judgments about how one should live one's life. The pair also rules controlled growth, organized expansion, and discipline. Jupiter/Saturn signifies a need to proceed relatively slowly, and in a grounded fashion, so that progress is steady and as free of setbacks as possible. If Saturn exceeds Jupiter in energy then one may feel that progress is too slow, or too limited or frustrating, or that one's enthusiasm is dampened. If Jupiter exceeds Saturn one may feel a lack of organization and/or stability on one's progress.

Process: The integration of moral principles into one's life. The finding of an harmonious and successful way to discipline oneself. The development of the ability to be discerning and critical and yet open, forgiving and accepting at the same time.

This has been a very interesting thread to read through. Lots of you guys with Moon conjunct South Node. Sounds challenging!

What I hear from all of you, is that you think the planet/SN conjunctions really are a gift more than a challenge and I think I agree with you. I would just like to add that I think it can be easy to get stuck in approaching situations the same way- from that planet at the south node, instead of finding newer, more adaptive ways of approaching it. Therein lies the challenge of moving forward towards the North Node aspirations. But, on that same token, the planet on the SN can be a lifesaver when it comes to situations we've seen time and again.

Well I came here originally because I didn't want to post a New question on something I'm sure has been discussed several times. This was the closest I could find. So, I hope no one minds

I've read a lot about synastry node conjuncts but I'm wondering more about my composite placement. First i'll say in synastry we have our nodes square at 7 degrees. In our composite though, we have SN conj Pluto in first house Scorpio (conj my natal moon) and north node in 7th house composite ( 2 degree conj my Venus and a wide conj to his natal moon...yes moon opp. Moon natally).
