Some have a more healthy relationship with their South Node than others, I imagine, and it fluctuates at different times in our lives. Some people have no patience for heavy expression of their South Node by other people in their lives, recognizing their own shadow in them, perhaps, and becoming exasperated with being drawn back into the patterns they've fought so hard to extricate themselves from.... At other times it can be comforting to indulge in those qualities--but does it always have to feel like a negative indulgence? If we've worked enough on balanced expression and are embodying our North Node, can we better appreciate the qualities of our South? Conversely...

Can the healthy expression of our South Node enable our North Node mission to flourish? We can perhaps draw on the qualities of our South Node which are so inherent in us that we do not notice them, but does that always backfire? It kind of seems so... It seems that those methods no longer work for us and we need to re align with the opposite, and yet complementary, modality to find peace. It is, perhaps, about balance. The South Node qualities, having been heavily emphasized, must be tempered and subdued in order to allow the other end of the axis to shine and give us a breath of fresh air and bona fide inspiration.

These are merely my personal reflections and musings. Sometimes I feel more certain about the meaning of the nodal axis, others, less so. I'm very interested in hearing your perspectives and feelings about your own South Node/North Node.

Are there still lessons to learn about South Node qualities? Or are those lessons complete, for better or worse--and the lesson is to recognize that, and to see that growth can only come through the direction of the North Node?

I feel like there is so much karma bound up in the South Node that it is hard work to acknowledge the issues mine represents (it is in Virgo in the 10th. My POF and Juno are also in the 10th in Virgo, within 10 degrees of my SN, and this is extremely confusing for me...).

Hanging out with Pisces in the 4th seems so dreamy, and I have at times experienced windows of the blissful, transcendental, private home/inner life my North Node suggests will be fulfilling. However, critical nitpicking of myself and others, as well as fear-related health issues, suck me back from fully experiencing the Pisces thing.

I know that in many ways the signs along the nodal axis can be complementary, despite their opposition. Can a healthy nodal expression include finding a balance between the two signs? Or is it always going to involve a waning of the South Node sign and a waxing of the North? Do planets positioned along our nodal axis influence this?

I think Virgo and Pisces need one another... Virgo is the earthly manifestation of the striving for perfection while Pisces is reveling in perfect imperfection of the all... Or something what I really mean is, for the transcendental to be recognizable it must be given form and function; for earthly manifestation and order to exist we must have the spaces between, the Piscean principle of that invisible power which moves through and activates everything (the power of Love). Perhaps when Virgo is aware that this is the fuel for all of their doings and thinkings a great peace and balance can be achieved. I feel good thinking about it. Heh.. Anyway, rambles.

Wow! That's very interesting. Very intense indeed! Triple whammy Pluto 8th house Scorpio North node!! I can see how you definitely feel reinforced in achieving that NN mission, hoooee! The Mars on your Taurean South Node would be a slow burn... methodical in its application of energy... Your stubbornness is the only thing preventing the depth you're destined for, maybe? I don't know how else I might interpret a SN Taurus conjunct Mars. It's really potent and wonderful that you feel you've mastered the dynamic between Mars and Pluto. That is great.

That South Node description would make sense, I am VERY reluctant to change and Stubborn to keep my ways until the very end, it makes me feel secure and I LOVE my comfort zone, but it isn't always the best way to behave.
Beside, I am slightly materialistic and feel very secure when I have a nice sum of money under me, but it's like I can never quite get to the amount I want, without calling myself impulsive, I have a tendency to spend a lot and be very generous in my gifts and money to my friends.
And those bills always ALWAYS arrive at the time where I finally feel financially good.
