Transit South Node Square Natal Chiron

This transit stirs the places you know too well—the habits that once protected you—and shows how they rub against a tender, unhealed spot. The square brings friction that feels both familiar and raw, asking whether the old way still serves who you are becoming. It invites courage: to feel what surfaces, to name it plainly, and to choose a different response than the one history would script.

When the South Node squares Chiron, the psyche reaches instinctively for something old: a stance, a story, a survival move that once kept you intact. The reflex can look like competence, caretaking, withdrawal, perfectionism, or humor—whatever your native language of safety has been. Yet right as you lean on it, the wound aches. The tension reveals a quiet truth: what used to save you may now keep you small. You may feel exposed in ordinary moments, as if the past is close enough to touch the present, and touch it does.

Working with this transit is less about fixing the wound and more about offering it accurate companionship. Let your history be a resource, not a steering wheel. Slow the moment between trigger and habit; breathe, name what hurts, and choose one step that honors who you are now. In that pause, the old pattern loosens its grip, and the wound, seen without dramatics or denial, becomes a teacher—sharp enough to wake you, kind enough to guide you home.
