South Node
The lunar node opposite the North Node — the point where the Moon's orbit crosses the ecliptic heading south.
What this means
In karmic astrology it holds what you arrive already knowing: gifts, habits, and attachments that feel effortless and can become a rut. It is read as the counterweight of the North Node's assignment — drawn on, not lived in.
