Transit South Node Square Natal Pallas Athena

This transit brings a friction between what once worked and what wisdom asks for now. Old strategies flare up—quick fixes, careful calculations, familiar ways of keeping the peace—while a clearer, cleaner intelligence wants to take the lead. It’s a season of revising the playbook, honoring the past without letting it run the present.

The square between the South Node and Pallas stirs the brain’s old survival brilliance. You may catch yourself mapping the room for exits, rehearsing arguments in your head, or slipping into loyal roles you learned long ago: the fixer, the rational one, the diplomat who swallows their needs to keep things running. It’s not wrong; it’s familiar. Yet something in your body knows the cost of staying on that loop. The mind recognizes a pattern, but the heart senses the pattern is from another time, another battlefield.

Working with this transit means letting your intelligence grow more dimensional. Strategy that once protected you can become strategy that frees you—when it’s updated to current reality. Pause at the first spike of cleverness and ask: which part of me is rushing to the front, and who is it trying to protect? If you can thank the old tactic and choose a smaller, truer move—naming what’s present, asking a direct question, leaving the room with care—you begin to weave a new pattern. Wisdom stops being a shield and becomes a bridge.
