South Node in Virgo ♍︎ in the natal chart
If you have the point of the South Node in Virgo in the natal chart then you are working to integrate your healing abilities through spiritual means. In past lives or past situations in your current life you have often taken on the role of caring for others. You have delegated resources effectively and micro managed your life path and the life of those in your life. At this point in time you may be very attached to the details of a situation and missing the bigger picture.
With the South Node in Virgo you are learning to let go of this over attachment to controlling the situations around you. Your soul is doing work toward recognizing the spiritual dimension of your healing abilities. Exploring a deeper connection to medicinal plants, anatomy, and energy fields can open up incredible pathways for your soul.
The profound life experience you seek can be healed through your impulse to give to others. When you give to others on your terms or for appropriate compensation the exchange can feel positive and not like your kindness is being taken advantage of. Detaching from an over realistic or even cynical point of view while still maintaining the routines that are important to you are a large part of your life journey.
