Frequently asked questions

What is the South Node in astrology?

The South Node is the point exactly opposite the North Node, where the Moon’s orbit crosses the ecliptic going the other way. It represents qualities that come naturally to you — innate talents and familiar patterns — that can become a comfort zone you over-rely on.

How is the South Node calculated?

The South Node always sits exactly 180° from the North Node, in the opposite sign. We calculate your North Node from the Swiss Ephemeris and place the South Node directly across the zodiac from it, so the two always form a perfect axis.

What should I do with my South Node?

The South Node is not something to reject — it holds real gifts. The work is to honor those strengths without hiding in them, and to consciously stretch toward your North Node, the unfamiliar direction where your growth lies.
