If your South Node is in Capricorn in your natal chart then you excel at getting things done with efficiency and discipline. You may have had past lives or current life circumstances in which you played or play the role of the boss or leader. The way you have lead or directed people may come at a cost for people’s emotions and feelings. 

You are learning to recognize the emotional aspects to human life, the power of family, and group support. A South Node in Capricorn indicates you have already done it alone and proven yourself capable of figuring out how to handle many aspects of life. You are now being asked to look at things from a different perspective. Some ways in which you are learning to do this is by adjusting your timing, giving up your need for control, and allowing yourself to be open to vulnerability. 

With this placement your soul is experiencing the impulse to connect emotionally with others. Often times this can be through family and parental relationships. These contacts may be the most powerful aspects operating in your current life. You are coming to a place of deep understanding by opening yourself up to greater experiences of love, compassion, and nurturing.
