South Node in Scorpio ♏︎ in the natal chart
If your South Node is in Scorpio in the natal chart then this indicates past life incarnations or past situations in this current life in which you felt powerless or bonded to a situation you could not free yourself from. Due to this fact you may find yourself repeating cycles in relationships between lovers, bosses, and friends in which these power dynamics play out. You may have been in a position of power or submission.
The South Node in Scorpio represents a well developed sense of intuition in which you deeply understand the motivations and drives of others.
