MOON CONJUNCT SOUTH NODE

A conjunction or conjunct symbol is an aspect that emphasizes and brings together the energies of the planets involved. Conjunctions focus and intensify the energy much like a laser beam on an exact point in your chart. These planets have their own uniqueness and when tag-teamed their energy is intensified even more.

It is important to understand that the Moon rules the home and the family. It also rules the emotions, feelings, sensitivities and moods, while the South Node rules the past and where one has been. The South Node basically says, "Been there, done that!" The South Node is where an individual might find themselves stuck in the past, especially when the Moon (emotions) conjunct the South Node. This conjunction makes it difficult for an individual to synchronize with what is currently occurring. In other words, their present timing is just off. Emotionally, they just cannot seem to catch-up or synchronize with the emotions of someone else. The reason timing is off is because the South Node represents the past (as in timing) so they are always stuck behind. These people are notoriously a day late and a dollar short.

Keep in mind that the South Node is the bottomless pit, which cannot be filled because it is like having a hole in the bottom of a cup. No matter how much energy you pour into it, the energy falls right through. When the Moon conjuncts the South Node, there is a tendency to get stuck in a negative emotional pattern with the feeling that it will never end. This can lead to periods of loneliness, depression and self-imposed isolation. This would be someone who incessantly worries and yet never does anything about their issues. It is a never-ending holding pattern of being stuck in the past and never moving into the present.

The better choice would be to use the emotions to push oneself forward. Instead of using fear to hold onself back, the individual should use fear to drive them forward. The challenge is to use the intuition of the emotions, meaning what the emotions are telling them to do, in order to respond better to others.

The interesting take on this is that if an individual can be sucked into a holding pattern, then they can also have the equal and opposite reaction, which would be to use their resources and meet adversity with shear determination and courage. Even though this is a very difficult conjunction, the individual can still overcome it by using their gift of concentration to become more disciplined. In other words, if an individual has the ability to concentrate (which they would have with this aspect) even if it is negatively, then the also have the ability to concentrate positively.
