Aspects › Opposition › Sun opposition North Node

☉︎ ☍︎ ☊︎ Sun opposition North Node

The Sun opposite the North Node sets the core self across the wheel from the direction of growth: two half-truths looking for a balance.

The Sun shines where there is identity, vitality, and the will to shine; the North Node points ahead where there is the path being learned. What follows is what happens when the two are tied together.

The opposition places them on one axis, so the Sun tends to show up in the people and situations the North Node attracts. The task is to own both ends instead of casting one of them onto someone else.

Timing matters. When the Sun forms this opposition to the North Node in the sky, it is a temporary weather system that comes and goes. Held in a natal chart, it describes something the person carries for life.

Here the opposition joins Sun (identity and vitality) with North Node (the path being learned), held 180° apart.

Right now

Sun and North Node currently stand about 166.4° apart, 13.6° away from an exact opposition. Watch it move on the live clock.
