Aspects › Opposition › Moon opposition South Node

☽︎ ☍︎ ☋︎ Moon opposition South Node

The opposition strings the Moon and the South Node along one axis, so each tends to be met out in the world, in other people, rather than owned within.

The Moon feels its way where there is instinct, mood, and the need for safety; the South Node looks back where there is old talents and comfortable habits. What follows is what happens when the two are tied together.

Across this divide, shelter and to be released look like opposites, and the pull is to pick a side. The real work is holding both, since each carries half of the truth.

As a transit, the Moon moving to opposition the South Node marks a passing window, hours to days for the Moon, months or years for the slow outer bodies, when the theme is live and worth watching. In a birth chart the same aspect is a standing feature of character rather than a single moment.

Here the opposition joins Moon (instinct and feeling) with South Node (the familiar past), held 180° apart.
