South Node in Aries
The South Node is read as what already comes easily and what you retreat into under pressure. In Aries that is self-reliance and speed: doing it yourself, immediately, rather than waiting for anybody.

What is my South Node sign?
What already comes easily, and what you retreat into under pressure. Enter your birth details below and the answer is computed from the Swiss Ephemeris, the same data professional software uses.
Does the birth time matter for this one?
The South Node is exactly opposite the North Node, so finding one finds the other. A birth date is enough for both.
South Node through the twelve signs
South Node in Taurus
The comfortable retreat is into the familiar and the secure: the same routine, the same possessions, and the same entirely reasonable objection to changing any of it.
South Node in Gemini
The comfortable retreat is into information. Read as a habit of gathering, asking and talking around a subject in place of ever arriving anywhere with it.
South Node in Cancer
The comfortable retreat is into care and into the family role. Associated with looking after somebody as a way of not being looked at, and with a strong pull back towards a familiar dependency.
South Node in Leo
The comfortable retreat is into being the one who is seen. Read as a well-practised ability to hold attention, and to make a personal drama out of something that did not need to be one.
South Node in Virgo
The comfortable retreat is into the detail. Associated with fixing, correcting and worrying at a small problem in place of facing the larger one standing behind it.
South Node in Libra
The comfortable retreat is into accommodation. Read as a habit of adjusting to whoever is in the room, and of a peace kept consistently at your own expense.
South Node in Scorpio
The comfortable retreat is into intensity and control. Associated with going deep, holding on, and treating suspicion as though it were diligence.
South Node in Sagittarius
The comfortable retreat is into the answer you already have. Read as a well-worn philosophy that explains everything and is almost never tested against anything.
South Node in Capricorn
The comfortable retreat is into work and control. Associated with taking on the responsibility rather than the feeling, and with competence used as somewhere to hide.
South Node in Aquarius
The comfortable retreat is into distance. Read as a habit of standing slightly outside, observing the group rather than being in it, and calling that objectivity.
South Node in Pisces
The comfortable retreat is into the drift. Associated with waiting to see, with dissolving a difficulty rather than meeting it, and with an exit that is always quietly available.
One placement is not a chart
A south node sign is one line of about forty in a birth chart, and reading it alone is how astrology gets its reputation for being vague. The full chart is free and takes the same three details you have just entered.
