My understanding of South Node on the ascendant or first house is that this is not a good time to be forceful and throw your weight around. This is not a good time to be your typical me, me, me, Leo! This is usually a time of service and a time to learn to compromise.

Your chart looked confusing to me, until I realized you are using Equal House system.

Ok, I use primarily Unequal House system, so looking at your chart from that perspective, with your ascendant at 27 degrees Leo, you have been dealing with South Node on your ascendant or first house for at least a year now. And after the south node goes retrograde over 27 degrees Leo, it will be IN YOUR 12TH HOUSE as it continues its backward walk through Leo.

After it moves into your 12th house, it still does not give you free rein to throwh your Leo weight around, because the south node will still be in Leo, but you may not feel south node restrictions like people whose ascendants are in the earlier parts of Leo.

If we're to mix Vedic concepts with western, which I sometimes like to do, from my understanding Ketu entering a sign actually has the opposite effect. It will shine light on and be benevolent for that sign.

I have this conjunct my ascendant/Venus in my natal chart and experienced this recently. I wouldn't call it bad, I wouldn't call it great necessarily either. There's ups and downs like anything and what looks down in the moment can be a stepping stone towards something better later on. Something can look great and turn out terribly.

"Tough" doesn't mean bad, it can be good, meaningful, and about getting out of your comfort zone. If life was always easy that wouldn't be very fun now would it?

Well, since the North Node will transit your 7th house, you might as well ask a girl on a date! I'm half joking, of course. Or, share (7th house) cookies with others (Aquarius).

If you're going by equal houses, the North Node will transit some of your 12th house, too. Maybe take a swim, or enter an ashram!
