Does anyone else think that the SN has a huge impact on the personality?? I do. Obviously they are more of the negative than the positive aspects that manifest, but I think there are plus sides too. Allow me to give some evidence for my theory and please tell me your own experiences and whether or not you agree!

Person A's SN in Virgo - Despite having a very airy/fiery chart of personal planets, my friend with SN in Virgo is very perfectionistic, meticulous, with highly acute senses, frighteningly keen observation skills, a little OCD, judges himself harshly. Very similar to my double Virgo best friend.

Person B's SN in Gemini - Gossip and communication are his weaknesses!! SUCH a gossiper. Jeez. However, he is excellent at persuasion and argument! A born salesman, very gregarious.

Person C's SN in Leo - She's the best. All the time. In any situation. Very confident, but that confidence in and of itself betrays her insecurities. She's super judgmental and looks down on everyone else, despite her Cancer sun.

My own SN in Cancer - Ha, it would be unfair not to show my own warts! I think my Cancer SN makes me very sensitive and romantic, as in having a romanticized and thus unrealistic view of things. I form deep and somewhat unreasonable attachments based largely on intuition rather than logic.

Obviously these are just sign placements but I think house placements would be pertinent as well!

Yes, the impact of the South Node can be seen sometimes.

I have a bunch of fire in my chart, I mean a bunch!!! But I'm OCD as hell, and VERY detailed and meticulous sometimes. It's my South Node in Virgo showing.

I hear a lot that you REALLY start to accumulate your North Node starting around the Saturn Return.

And my Scorpio brother has South Node in Sagittarius and he can seem a lot more like a Sagittarius rather than a Scorpio.

Great question

My SN in Aquarius accentuates my aqua Asc coolness. I'm prone to detaching and becoming a loner when troubled - partly because I struggle to articulate my feelings so being around people is just too frustrating and irritating.

Interestingly, as I get closer to my second nodal return, I'm very conscious that my energy is shifting to the NN in Leo. I'm a lot more assertive, confident and playful , for example. In the last year I addressed a load of uranian stuff in therapy - Uranus is square my nodes - and recently took a huge NN leap.

Of course, though, the consequences of this action are activating my SN comfort blanket

Southnode is also our gifts that we are born with.

I have my Moon and Venus conjunct my South Node in Gemini. They also square Mars in Pisces, sextile Jupiter, and trine Pluto. Also inconjunct Uranus/ascendant.

I might join in on occasional conversation, but I'm not that keen on gossip. I actually kept something to myself this week, that happened on facebook. I didn't tell anyone. I wasn't happy, because I feel loyal to someone, even though we no longer get along - yes, this Gemini Moon/Venus is loyal. I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Absolutely. But I don't think that one can separate Ketu(South Node) from Rahu(North node). That's like separating the cardinal points.

South node in Sag.
South Node parrallel Jupiter
South Node parrallel Mercury
Jupiter(parallel SN) conjunct Sun
Mercury(parallel SN) opposite Moon
Mercury(parallel SN) square Asc/conjunct MC
Jupiter(parallel SN) trine Asc

I have an insatiable interest to learn- which is denoted by Ketu(South Node) in Sagittarius

So I always want to open up a book on a subject that is of interest to me.Or have an experience from which I can draw an intellectual perspective on.

South Node is spirituality baby; people with personals conjunct their SN can be hugely spiritual, while the NN can sometimes cause immorality (the person's always on the go, wanting more and more, almost like an unsatisfiable hunger for going deeper and deeper into the matters of whatever planet is conjunct the NN, and we know that the worldly pits are bottomless)

Interesting perspective. Can you share your references for this view??

I know that Leeloo mentioned to me once that people whose chart are moving towards their Southnode their journey is more internal, moving towards hidden treasures and the past, more about personal transformation, in a way people who are more intrinsically motivated but people whose chart move towards their Northnode are the high achievers who are about manifesting things more in the external world, type A personalities I would think.

She was not referring to conjunctions to the nodes though.

I could see that about you. I have southnode in Sag but I don't think I share your passion for learning to the extent that you do, I think you listed a lot of aspects there that contribute to this for you.

I do value highly smart people and the teaching profession, my Southnode falls in the 2H. I will say that I am philosophical and spiritual, always in search of the truth. That seeing the bigger picture comes naturally to me. That since I was a kid I wanted to travel abroad and moved abroad at the age of 10. That I am restless and blunt, always on my head reflecting about something, that money never meant a lot to me, Jupiter rules my 2H.

Southnode in Sag in the 2H
Jupiter conjunct Uranus exact in Sag applying in the 1H
Mercury Rx in the 10H squares my Nodes and forms a grand cross with my moon
Southnode parallel Neptune @22S
Southnode parallel Jupiter and Uranus by 1 degree

@hypatia238 Your South Node is in the 2nd house? Mine is in the 8th house.

I have always felt that it is not only my worth (2nd) but my destiny(North Node),that is connected to my ability to share info (Gemini)or at-least being the facilitator of it.

I have noticed that people tend to listen to what I have to say or that when I explain my understanding of something,other people will say..."Oh ok. I see now. You explained that so well."

So when I don't understand something, it becomes obvious in my way of explaining it to another. Because it is through that act that I feel that I am explaining it and gaining insight to my intellectual relationship with it

I am a writer and I dream of publishing my works. And it's not even about profit, but sharing what I think.

Could your South Node in Sag be connected to wanting to see how everything connects? The big picture? Or at-least understanding the holistic reason for everything through a simple philosophy?

Maybe you are meant to shed a light that takes us away from the details and into recognizing the "oneness" of things?

Because I have also noted with many Sag Suns I converse with,that there is a need to understand everything and break down the seemingly complex into a fabric of connectivity.

When there is inflexibility or denial in understanding and incorporating the "whole" into their view of the world, many get frustrated that their "truth" is not being recognized by all.

This frustration builds resistance to accept anything that serves to contradict that "truth". And on these grounds prejudice, racism, xenophobia,homophobia, religious intolerance and all other feelings of "they" vs "me" are manifested.

I have a story to tell, my sister is a triple Aries and mostly fire/air signs. Still I believe at school she behaved like an Earth sign (either Virgo or Capricorn). She literally couldn't stand it when another 6-year-old would pick up one of her colous, and then not leave it in the right place, where it should be. She might get really angry and even take revenge if her colour was given back broken or in a bad state. She was SO conscious of her material! Her zeal has softened with time though. She has a Virgo SN and she also has Uranus, Neptune and Saturn all in Capricorn (but that marks a whole generation, doesn't it). It's interesting to notice that her Virgo SN is in her 2nd house, which rules material possessions.

Great description yes.

Jupiter rules your 9H with mercury ruling your 3H and then the competitiveness and speed of Aries rising that must be great for learning, absorbing, and processing information quickly and add all the placements you have and yes I could see how you would be a great writer.

Do you by any chance know multiple languages?

I have southern node in Pisces, if you study vedic it is in the nakshatra of Shatabisha.

Yes, I notice a huge southern node impact on people and how they act, personality etc. Especially when things get tough , you fall back on your southern node.

Yes, and where we find safety and security. It seems like a safe haven and retreat in times of difficulty. When things get scary, we tend to flee to the place we feel safe and protected, a place we know we can count on.

This is making me wonder about the natal chart of America... what is Americas south node?

Recently we've seen so many American-born people trying to flee to the past (the historic known culture and way of doing things) in fear of inevitable change--change of overall culture that is inevitable when adapting within the mixing pot (required to healthily integrate cultures together).

Fleeing to the south node is the 3 steps backward part of "2 steps forward and 3 steps back" analogy. Facing your north node can be difficult but your souls journey depends on it--how will you ever get to where your soul planned to go (the adventure and education of this incarnation) if you continue going in the opposite direction (the already had adventure and already learned education of your most recent past incarnation)? It's a challenge but you need to access your inborn faith and self-compassion in order to face the scary inability, unknown, unskilled, uncomfortable north node.

Maybe we need some support groups for this, lol. Actually, one thing that was truly helpful for me was having an ex that had exactly the opposite north/south node experience. My north was the exact sign/house and close degrees of his south. I have never been helped so much by anyone with this experience than him. It was like having a private tutor to guide you through it and hold your hand while doing it. I'm grateful to have been sent that guide.

It was hard to end though because I didn't want to lose his guidance. An end is like being pushed out of the nest to fly on your own, and like baby birds, you aren't able to fully fly yet just because you get pushed into it.

It was unfortunate that it was a romantic relationship because it would have been nice to have a lifelong friend that could be that kind of guide. (Something to think about if you meet a nodal opposite--take ur time deciding whether the friend zone might be a better choice because a private tutor can make things a lot easier.)

I like this description. I have read that the moon sign also act in similar fashion, when we feel threatened, we automatically go back to the moon way. the moon also indicated what comfort us emotionally when we are in distress. thinking that the nodes we normally mention are the lunar nodes...

just wondering how you see the similarities and differences with the moon.

I have the same question. Because whatever makes an aspect with the SN also also makes an aspect with the NN.

I know someone with a Virgo SN and she is everything that is (or could be) bad about a Virgo! Nervous, fidgety, super analytical, super body conscious, super anxious, super insecure. Bites her nails. Binge eats when feeling stressed. Doesn't like, and barely tolerates, when HER schedule isn't met. Everything needs planning to HER needs. The list is looong :-/

With those placements I am not surprised you know more languages than the average 3 in your country. Very impressive BTW.

I *know*. It seems that the person gets those traits and it is often some of the bad ones lol. Yeah, all that you said, a Virgo SN can be more... "virgoan" that a Virgo Sun in *some* ways.
As a Libra SN (Virgo Sun), I often got into cr*p unwantedly, it wasn't easy for me to set boundaries with peers. I would let others take the cake. I think we Libra SN are very pacific people and we simply let others 'be'. I think sometimes we have to take control of the situation and assert ourselves too (I believe that is the lesson we learn with an Aries NN).

So true both of your observations. I feel Southnode Virgos are Virgos on steroids and Southnode in libras are the bomb, my dad has that but like you said at times I wish he asserted himself more, he has Mars in libra too. I have always felt unconditionally loved by him, my relationship with him has always been nice. My mother has SN in virgo, she has definitely grown into her Northnode I feel, my dad too to an extent.
