Experiencing an array of emotions

South Node Scorpios are the first to help those who ended up being hurt because they love feeling how the adrenaline is pumping in their heart.

Even when there’s stormy weather, they’re staying out in the cold and enjoy it. While knowing human characters very well, they always want to dig deeper when knowing people, as well to connect with their senses and to see what pleasures they may have, not necessarily their emotions.

The planet ruling the South Node in Scorpios is Pluto, which is also ruling over the Underworld and represents death, together with rebirth.

In this placement, the Scorpio sign represents the Phoenix getting reborn from the ashes, so it’s influencing natives to sometimes exhaust their spirit.

Pluto is ruling in the most passionate way, whereas the Scorpio is all about the price having to be paid in order for the power to be achieved.

The South Node in this sign is indicating people can heal themselves and regenerate better than others, but as well that they’re mysterious, always thinking about their secrets, vengeful and possessive.

Just as always with this sign, there can be a pessimistic influence because the natives are intuitively aware of what isn’t right. This is an influence from their past lives. It’s possible they’ve been paying too much attention to other people’s needs and not their own.

More than this, they could have just taken others’ values, resources and even partners because their own have caused only dramas into their life.

South Node Scorpios have a lot of experience when it comes to sharing what’s hurting with others, but this doesn’t help them in any way heal.

They like extremes and going after deep meanings because this is continuously tormenting their mind. They don’t mind being with those who are “sleeping” but they have the impulse of turning every rock, until being sure what they have found is precise.

When not being able to help people heal their pain, they’re going after pleasure.

Being possessive, they’re also jealous and envious. They think personal matters make no sense and can sometimes believe they’re the only ones who know better than others.

This is because they don’t like any drama, but they’re tempted to become frustrated with all kind of problems. More than this, they’re not competitive and they don’t want what others have because this would only mean drama and cause frustration to build up.

South Node Scorpios may have used too much magic in their life. They’re always looking for symbols and to obtain advice from psychics, so they should try to change their approach a little bit because the occult can’t be the answer in some situations.

It’s important they’re going after what they want in life, avoiding mysteries. Only this way, they can end up trusting their instincts and their capacity of making decisions.

These natives are escaping the mystical realm at some point in their life, just to deal with the empirical. When more realistic, they’re also no longer dependent.

This doesn’t mean they can’t still enjoy their fantasies, but they shouldn’t make decisions based on illusions. The South Node in Scorpio is known for the memories of emotions since childhood and the past lifetimes.

Looking at it from the reincarnation point of view, it’s showing how some emotions are impacting natives during this lifetime.

Facts from childhood or past lifetimes can’t be remembered, but the Moon is sure to bring back some emotions, also issues that haven’t been resolved. It’s similar to waking up and not knowing what happened in the dream.

By bringing matters of the lunar stories from the past into the consciousness and the present, the direction can be changed because old roads are being recognized, as well emotions that are no longer serving.

The best thing for them is to be calm, confident and out of others’ way. As far as bonding is going, they need to hold on to having limits because their own survival is dependent upon being connected with others and making some sacrifices in order for their own desires to become a reality.

They have an almost physical need to bond with others, but only when being released, they can thrive.

These natives don’t want to be split from their source and in case this is happening out of reasons they don’t know, it’s because someone has interfered.

Nothing matters that much as long as they understand supporting themselves is the only way for them to feel fulfilled. South Node Scorpios can have memories of criminal activities, even torture and scary rituals.

They may have experienced with some behaviors that are completely disgusting and terrifying. For this reason, they want to experience everything themselves.

It’s easy for them to guess what people want to do, not to mention they’re never interested in superficial characters.

This is good for them because this way, they’re protected and can realize what’s going on in their surroundings. However, they should try and stay out of some businesses because this way, they can find their best friends and enjoy their own life.

People with their South Node in Scorpio don’t have to cry over the human condition because they know everyone is capable of the same things, just the way they’re playing their abilities is different.

They shouldn’t allow their own issues to occupy their mind and take care of them as lightly as possible because they have a lot of experience already.
