Okay, so I’ve been digging into this whole astrology thing lately, and I stumbled upon something called the “moon conjunct south node.” It sounded kinda mystical, so I decided to see if it had any effect on, well, me. Here’s how it went down.
My Little Experiment
First, I figured out my own birth chart. There are a bunch of free websites that’ll do it for you if you have your birth date, time, and place. Turns out, I do have this aspect in my chart! The moon and the south node are pretty close together. Apparently, this means something about past lives and ingrained patterns. My interest was defintely piqued.
Next, I tried to understand what it all meant. I read a bunch of articles and forum posts. The general idea is that the south node represents where you’re coming from – your comfort zone, your old habits, maybe even stuff you were good at in a past life. The moon is all about emotions, instincts, and your inner world.
So, moon conjunct south node? It’s like your emotions and your past are all tangled up. This can be comfy, but also a bit of a trap. You might be repeating old emotional patterns that aren’t really serving you anymore. The idea being it is time to move forward and break those old patterns, if you can.
Tracking My Moods
Now for the practical part. I decided to keep a journal for a few weeks. Nothing fancy, just a quick note each day about how I was feeling and any significant events. I paid extra attention to times when I felt:
- Really, really comfortable (like, suspiciously comfortable).
- Stuck in a rut, doing the same old thing even though I knew it wasn’t great.
- Irrationally emotional, like my reactions were way bigger than the situation.
I started noticing some patterns. For example, there were a couple of times I avoided a new opportunity because it felt “too risky,” even though it was something I’d been wanting to do. I realized I was probably falling back on old fears (south node stuff!) instead of pushing myself (which is supposed to be the north node’s job – but that’s a whole other story). I also noticed how many snacks I grab when I have a moment to myself, it felt good and comfy at the moment, but not healthy.
Breaking the Cycle
The final step was to, well, do something about it. I made a conscious effort to:
- Challenge myself to step outside my comfort zone, even in small ways.
- Recognize when I was falling into old emotional patterns and try to react differently.
- Be kinder to myself. Change is hard, and it’s okay to slip up sometimes.
It’s definitely a work in progress! But I feel like I’m more aware of my own tendencies now. It’s like I have a little map of my inner world, and I can start to navigate it more intentionally.
This whole moon-south node thing might sound a bit “woo-woo,” but it actually gave me a useful framework for understanding myself better. Might be worth checking out your own chart, who knows what you will find!
