In astrology, your South Node points out the challenges you still carry from your past lives—Scorpio South Nodes in particular may struggle with issues related to dependency and secrecy. We’ve consulted pro astrologers Angel Eyedealism and Tracey McKee to learn exactly what this astrological placement represents, and, more importantly, what it means for both your past and your future.

Things You Should Know

  • Scorpio South Nodes can struggle to live independent and transparent lives.
  • In past lives, Scorpio South Nodes may have lived a very private, almost invisible existence where they were deeply rooted in their emotions.
  • Scorpio South Nodes are known for being mystical and determined, but not super confident.

    According to professional astrologer Angel Eyedealism, “the South Node is all the messed up habits that keep you from achieving success.”

    For South Node Scorpios, these “messed up habits” are often related to issues like depending too much on others. [1] SN Scorpios may also have a tendency to be secretive and deceitful. [2]
    • Expert astrologist Tracey McKee explains that a South Node “can become an energy that you fall back on because it’s easy.”
    • For instance, a SN Scorpio might borrow their partner’s personal beliefs and values as their own instead of developing an independent worldview. [3]
    • SN Scorpios have their North Node in Taurus —this means that their life purpose revolves around themes like simplicity, self-sufficiency, groundedness, and personal connection. [4]

    In your past life, your sense of secrecy defined and even helped you. In your current life, your attempts to be secretive and anonymous do you more harm than good, and paint you in a more deceitful light. [5]

    In your past lives (as well as your current one), you may have struggled living in the here and now. Instead, you had a tendency to be wrapped up in your emotions rather than caring for your physical self.

    In your current journey, one of your top priorities is to stay more grounded and present in your day-to-day life. [6]

    In the past, you had a tendency to get back at people who wronged you, and you often dealt with plenty of drama. [7] In your current life, your goal may be to love others in a more peaceful and caring way.

    SN Scorpios often find it easier to put other people’s personal needs and well-being above their own. They may live by other people’s beliefs and doctrines rather than their own. [8]

    SN Scorpios tend to approach daily life from a more cryptic point of view. [10] They’re often too wrapped in the universe’s many mysteries to properly live in the moment and appreciate life’s many blessings.
  3. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/6\/63\/South-Node-in-Scorpio-Step-7.jpg\/v4-460px-South-Node-in-Scorpio-Step-7.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/6\/63\/South-Node-in-Scorpio-Step-7.jpg\/v4-728px-South-Node-in-Scorpio-Step-7.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>\u00a9 2024 wikiHow, Inc.

    South Node Scorpios are known for having plenty of opportunities at their disposal (like being born into a wealthy family). However, they actually desire to forge their own path in life and accomplish their own achievements. [12]

    SN Scorpios are no strangers to secrets and may have a tendency to be very private in their day-to-day lives. While it’s okay to be a little mysterious, being too mysterious can make a person look suspicious and fishy. [14]
    • Tip: Don’t be afraid to open up to a few trusted people in your life, like your friends and loved ones. While it’s totally fine to be a private person, it’s not a good idea to keep all of your thoughts, opinions, and desires locked away.

    South Node Scorpios sometimes come from families with difficult pasts and secrets, which can create a sense of guilt and shame. [15] Understanding one’s past and having the courage to address and move past it is an important part of the healing process.

    Don’t look to mystical sources for advice—instead, focus on trusting your own instincts . The more independent you become, the less reliant you’ll feel on the more mystical aspects of life.
    • Let’s say that you’re unsure about your future career. Instead of meeting with a psychic, you could focus your energy on building your resume and applying for jobs.

    Pro astrologist Tracey McKee describes “your North Node as the secret to your enlightenment—it represents what your soul wants to achieve.”

    In the case of a Taurus North Node, this means embracing qualities like self-sufficiency and communication, rather than relying on others from the shadows. [17]
    • As a Taurus North Node, you’re called to embrace life’s small pleasures, like the smell of rain or the feeling of being nestled under a pile of blankets. Appreciating the little things allows you to grow into the most authentic version of yourself. [18]
