South Node in Libra ♎︎ in the natal chart

The South Node in Libra in the natal chart individual is learning to embrace their warrior spirit. This placement indicates many past lives in which you neglected to speak up or share your point of view in order to avoid upset for others. You are very gifted at remediation and creating peace between conflicting parties. 

The South Node in Libra may indicate tendencies in which you are overly accommodating to the needs of others. With a highly developed sense of team work you are now learning to go it alone. With courage and determination you are entering into situations in which you allow yourself to be more authentically you. This impulse to develop your sense of identity may be so strong you forgo the need to keep the peace. 

You know that in order to reach your highest potential you may need to shake things up. This placement pushes you towards finding independence and relying less on the approval of others. The unique life you crave is possible when you learn to trust in your gut instincts. If you follow your own advice through self-reflection you will know when you are on the right path.
