South Node in Leo ♌︎ in the natal chart
The South Node in Leo in the natal chart is symbolic of past lives or past situations in your current life in which you often played the center of attention. Your need for admiration from others and development of your ego self was paramount to your happiness and fulfillment. This attachment to ego and identity may have caused you to get out of balance. You are now searching to tip the scales to a more even keeled place between a healthy sense of self and being able to contribute to a group.
You are naturally gifted in the arts, acting, and having a very strong sense of willpower. This may indicate that at times you exaggerate to yourself or to others what you are going through. The tendency to do this satisfies your need for attention that your soul craves so deeply. You are learning to let go of this need instead being satisfied with your internal self.
The external factors that surround you are less important in this life or on your current life path than in the past. You are learning that outside elements do not construct your authentic identity. The South Node in Leo individual is learning to see the benefits in sharing, and participation in group dynamics.
