Sun conjunct natal South Node
An earlier version of yourself slips back on across these six days and fits better than expected. Do not answer current matters in that older register; leave the reply two days and come back to it.
In detail
Transit Sun conjunct natal South Node covers the six days or so when the moving Sun lands on the degree of the natal South Node. The Sun advances about 1 degree a day, which is what a 3-degree orb comes to, and because the Sun never reverses the contact returns to the same dates each year. The Sun carries the present sense of identity and the body's stamina; the south node stores a version of a person that was once expert and is now largely unused. The overlay puts one on the other, and the old role goes back on: the old way of speaking, the old way of dressing, the old line on how things are handled, all fitting unexpectedly well. Compared with the lunar version, which returns feeling for ten hours, these six days return a whole identity, which makes it far easier to mistake for the present one.
FAQ
- Is nostalgia useful at all here?
- The useful part is the reminder of what once kept you going. The unusable part is applying that old standard to present matters, since an overlay only enlarges what was already there and passes no judgement on whether it still fits.
- Are these six days good for seeing old friends?
- They are. The older role reconnects most easily now, so the meeting costs little. The one thing to watch is not settling arrangements about your current life inside that atmosphere.
