I have the south node in Virgo and I was thinking of becoming a nurse. However I'm kind of worried because I feel as if the health scene may not be for me.

Does anyone else work in the health field who also has South Node in Virgo? Are you happy with your career?

The same question can apply to any sign on the south node. For example If you have South Node in Sagittarius, do you feel that traveling and higher education isn't exactly something you desire?... Or does that make you happy? Or if you have South Node in Cancer, is parenting and children not exactly something you want either?

Would love to hear your thoughts.

I also have a 10th house stellium in Gemini but not interested in communications media or whatnot thats regarding gemini. I guess one have to look at all planets and aspects to the 10th house or 6th house. Not everyone is working with their "true call" if now S.node stands for that.

I have a Libra MC opposite Aries Mars - my real goal is to open a dance club and be my own boss

Not to rain on your parade, just a perspective. The good news however is that the job is in demand, so u are sure to find employment. And it is also very rewarding emotionally- well according to the people whom I know are in the nursing profession.

I have South Node in Sagittarius conjunct Uranus. And I feel that its a placement that has an element of loneliness to it. Because its attracted to all that is non mainstream and eccletic.

I have been unsuccessful in stabilizing my career. I just feel like I am not passionate about anything I do or get into. And perhaps Uranus contributes to being a rolling stone? Its really tough as I get depressed about this.

Look to the 6th house cusp as well. Mine has Mars therein and a tumultuous path I have travelled when it comes to my employment history. Not content. Not happy. Not satisfied.

My south node is not in Virgo, but it is in my 6th house. Mine is actually in Leo. I'm also a triple Virgo. I became a nurse pretty early in life.

I studied art before becoming a nurse, and it felt very "selfish." I could never rationalize how I was spending my time and energy with my end goal. I don't have that problem with nursing. I know every single day that when my shift is over, I did everything I could do to help my patients as much as humanly possible. So there's that, if you're one of those people who needs to feel needed and of use. But it is also intensely stressful, challenging and emotionally charged at times. Every shift isn't like that, but when it happens, it can be too much to deal with if you aren't expecting it or haven't dealt with it before.

Overall, I like nursing and I would definitely choose it again. But I encourage anyone who wants to go into the field to do their research first.

A friend of mine just posted that the self-doubt that comes from being an artist, leaves her wishing she'd become a lawyer instead. I think that art helps people in ways - like losing yourself in a movie, or decorating with something that you think it pretty, or affects you in some way. I sold a painting when I was nineteen, to someone who said it looked "spiritual".

Two things to add here is 1- South Node is the comfort zone and where we start out, so it might indicate a spring board for a career but that career will probably change

2- the house can add loads of information as well

That said 😁 my SN is in Aquarius in the first house. I used to be a journalist - which is as much aquarian as it is mercurial arguably. I now work in the web field.

The SN-NN conflict for me comes in writing what I've been told to, versus writing/creating what I want (Leo NN).

I think as a point of strength, we can look to combine the SN-NN strengths for a perfect career.

Eg - if doing art feels too selfish for your Pisces NN, look at using your art talent to help others through art therapy perhaps, or selling your work to raise money for charity, for example, to satisfy your Virgo SN.

I've worked as a secretary in multinationals and great corporations and it's not my career goal at all. I hated it.

For me, that might be finding a way of being able to write/create what I want, while also serving the needs of the audience (Aquarius). That way it's not completely 'self-indulgent' and is genuinely useful.

I can't see myself ever doing art again. I'm too much of a perfectionist to ever feel "finished" with something. It ends up opening doors that I wish never would have been opened. I don't have that problem with nursing, however - my shift eventually comes to an end and there's no more work to be done. It's up to someone else at that point to continue the same work.

I prefer to satisfy my 12th house through service and compassion. I feel much more wholesome when I make a donation to a worthy cause or feed a homeless person or care for an abandoned animal. I don't feel like creativity is the only way to fulfill the 12th house.

That's exactly what I sold my painting for. To get a stray cat and her kittens to a vet. I adopted all of them.

My aunts were/are great bakers. They made beautiful cakes. One made one for me to raffle off at school, when I was thirteen, to raise money.

Career wise, I will likely stay in healthcare and either become a provider (PA or NP) or go into research. I plan to do something entirely different later on (after I've retired from nursing) like own my business.

I have my NN in Virgo in my 12 house and my SN in Pisces in my 6th house. I use to want to be a nurse and study to the point I got my PA but changed my mind a few years back , decided that I wanted to my Psychology degree to help kids who grew up like I did.

As I said above I have worked as a secretary and I really hated it, large corporations, in the Golden Mile of the city, suitcases as dress code, really really hated it 'cause I'm a Sadge Sun with Aqua AC and you cannot force a hippy to wear a suit to put her working in those megacompanies!.

I also worked as a teacher and I loved it.

What are your thoughts about a South Node Capricorn and professions?
