The conjunction of Venus and the South Node blends the power of attraction with the familiar past until they are hard to tell apart.
In the traditional scheme the South Node carries inherited ease and old habit. It looks back wherever there is old talents and comfortable habits; what it offers is ease and instinct, what it looks for is to be released, and its failure mode is clinging.
The South Node spends about eighteen months in each sign, mirroring the North Node exactly opposite. The nodes always regress, moving backward through the zodiac, so no retrograde badge is shown for them.
Read well, the South Node shows as a deep well of instinct to draw on. Read badly, it slides toward clinging to what is safe and known.
