Saturn will be conjunct my North Node in July by exact degree in the 8th house Virgo.

Your chart usually indicates a snapshot of your personality and the issues, conflicts and challenges that you would have to deal with or play out in this lifetime.

The North and South node of the moon draws the focus on karmic lessons that are to be played out in this lifetime and are always read in a pair, thus we should always take into consideration the axis of the opposing signs and houses. You should always treat the opposing signs and houses as a continuum in itself. For instance the 1st and 7th houses speak of the self and relationships with others respectively. The 6th and the 12th houses speak of the tangible working, living environments and physical health and routine while the 12th house speaks of the intuition, mental health and subconscious. All these, although they may sound like extremes, are linked by a continuum. We are usually treading the bridge between the chasms somewhere in the middle.

South node of the moon indicates what you have been used to, which could be collectively defined by past lives or even the kind of life that you could easily find yourself slip into this lifetime. This is an inherent part of your character and what serves to be familiar to you and therefore is effortless. South nodes could also be indicative of fears and insecurities which may be carried over by past lives. The north node is what you should strive to be working towards in achieving in the current life. In a way learning the lessons of the North Node means breaking out of the familiar and taking risks in order to embrace the unknown. As mentioned the axis of the nodes should be taken into consideration.

Saturn on the south node could make it more difficult for you to realise the issues of your North node. It could hold you back and make you more set in your ways and make you feel very self-righteous in that you already achieved what you are are meant to do in this life. It may make you feel complacent and justified that you have certain fears and insecurities. If in hard aspect with planets such as Mars and Pluto, you may find yourself very stubborn and fixed in your ways and even argumentative in that you are willing to risk all so that things remain the way they are.

You may however use this as an opportunity to understand the limitations that hold you back from achieving your North node lessons. Saturn's energy if correctly channeled could be used to probe deeply and questioning the boundaries; and breaking down what is no longer relevant to you. Saturn's energy takes time to realise and the lessons learnt and the rewards or punishment that you are meted are usually accumulative and over periods of time. Therefore, be sensitive to the little changes in your life as you make decisions with the North Node and South Node in mind.

You hear the horror stories where people with those placements are not listening to the changes that they should be implementing with these transits. Saturn tends to smash things up and smack people upside the head if the smaller warnings are not heeded. So it pays to wisen up and listen.

The only thing I would add is that you should try to remember to stay in balance.

I have had saturn on my Nnode recently and it brought a lot of attention towards striving towards goals and becoming stronger and whatnot but now I have recently realized how much I had been neglecting the Snode during this time. I can't tell you just how much I really NEEDED to also relax and be myself a little bit.

I guess that ideally you would be able to focus on both nodes together. I'm not sure if even a significant transit is a good reason to let yourself get as out of balance as I had gotten. Although at the time it just seemed completely imperative to focus the way I was on making things happen and keeping on top of things. It was threatening to undo me until I started balancing thigns out better.

i am a survivor of transit saturn over my south node. what a transit! saturn while it was at 14 degrees virgo conjoined my sun and south node in that degree. karmic? DEF! it was transiting my 5th house. long story short, i was at the top of the world. living life. enjoying. i met a person i fell very deeply for.

the level of the karma was deep. the person had an anaretic venus in cancer conj mine at 29 as well. it also conjoined my moon. and not to mention that his mars was also there along with our venus'. sun conjunctions. pluto and uranus also conjoined that sun of mine. (keep in mind this is along with my south node and transit saturn moving over these planets because we were born 1 day apart.)

anywho, seperation was involved. yes. and it hurt my heart and soul tremendously. uh, almost everything that i was enjoying at the time was taken away almost within a blink of an eye. i kid u not. i ended up moving back home and not only to my old room or anything. thats not how saturn worked on my transit. it was back home to share a room with my taurus of a sister and 5 yr old nephew. and for anyone wondering, she had pluto in the second. so if u can, use that as a certain guide to imagine how up to my neck i was in my things, as well as literally, having her things over my neck as well.

it involved serious health scares. old family issues that seemed to be projected onto newer ones.

this transit involved the sun, which rules my fourth house, which is why im taking the family thing into acct. saturn had family debt to settle. old debt and i guess that was a moment to let things go. uh, i also had to let that person i spoke about go. the lifestyle also went. the just going anywhere to have fun was out. idk...... it was a turning point.
