Transit South Node Square Natal Sun
Old gravity, new light

This transit lights up the seam where your current self meets the person you learned to be long ago. You may feel a familiar ache of expectation, as if a well-worn costume is being held out to you with a smile you know too well. The Sun wants to radiate; the South Node wants to repeat. So the body tightens, the mind rehearses old lines, and the heart wonders whose approval is being chased. You might overperform to prove you still belong, or underplay your brightness to avoid provoking old stories. Either way, the tug is real: a magnetic pull toward what once kept you safe and seen.
Working with this energy means moving from reflex to choice. Notice the moment the past reaches for your steering wheel, and make a small, living decision that reflects who you are now. You do not need to exile your history; you can thank it for its service and reassign it to supportive roles. In that space of acknowledgment, the Sun steadies. What used to run the show becomes raw material, and your vitality returns to the center, warm and unmistakably your own.
Life Areas & Expression
Relationships & Connection
Old dynamics may resurface: the caretaker, the comedian, the dependable one who never asks for much. This is a chance to renegotiate intimacy by naming your needs and letting others meet the present you, not your former role.
Work & Purpose
You may feel pulled to keep doing what you are already good at, even if it no longer feeds you. Use the tension to refine your focus, updating responsibilities and rhythms so your effort aligns with your real direction.
Creativity & Expression
Familiar formulas beckon, promising ease but offering little spark. Treat your past work as a palette, not a cage, and let a small, honest risk refresh your voice.

Let yourself grieve the identities that once carried you. They kept you alive, connected, useful — and they may be too small now. The friction you feel is not failure; it is your life asking for better fit. When the guilt or nostalgia rises, breathe into the place it grips you and ask what true warmth would do next.
Choose one brave, ordinary action that honors your current vitality: decline an old obligation, speak your preference, rest when you would have powered through. Each small choice teaches your nervous system that it is safe to be new. Over time, the past becomes ballast rather than anchor, and your light feels like home again.
I can honor where I’ve been without living there.
