Transit South Node Square Natal Midheaven
Comfort tested by calling
This transit feels like the past rubbing against your public path. What once felt natural may now feel too small, as if an old suit were tight across the shoulders. The tension is asking you to notice which habits help your purpose—and which keep you safe but unseen.

The square between the old comfort zone and your public direction can feel like a bruise you keep bumping. Visibility invites exposure, and exposure invites familiar protections: downplaying your talent, over-delivering to be liked, using skills you’ve outgrown because they once earned approval. Work, status, or authority figures may awaken the voice of an early teacher or parent, and suddenly you’re reacting to them instead of the moment in front of you.
The medicine here is not to reject your past, but to renegotiate with it. You can let the strengths you’ve carried—resourcefulness, intuition, loyalty—be tools rather than cages. When you meet the friction, pause and ask which part of you is speaking. Choosing a response in the present, even a small one, breaks the spell. The more you honor what was while telling the truth about what is, the more your public path reshapes to fit your actual size.
Life Areas & Expression
Work & Purpose
Projects or roles that once defined you may feel outdated, even if they’re still applauded. You might renegotiate responsibilities, reframe your audience, or step off a path that flatters your history but dims your future.
Relationships & Connection
People close to you may mirror the tug-of-war between staying known and becoming new. Honest conversations about expectations, support, and visibility clarify who can hold space for your evolution.
Home & Roots
Family myths about success, duty, or being “the reliable one” come into focus. You may sift through heirlooms and stories, keeping what nourishes and laying down what asks you to shrink.

Let this be a season of thoughtful edits rather than dramatic erasures. When the old script rises, thank it for getting you this far, then choose the sentence that belongs to today. In small ways—an email rewritten, a boundary spoken, a title declined—you practice a new loyalty: not to comfort at any cost, but to a life that fits.
Forgiveness softens the ground. Forgive the younger you who needed those strategies, and forgive the present you for not changing all at once. Growth here is quiet, steady, and public enough to count: you let yourself be seen as you change, and in doing so, your path learns your name again.
I honor where I came from without letting it decide where I’m going.
