Scorpio. Ketu

 

A Scorpio South Node signifies a past-life comfort with intensity, trauma, and transformation, often leading to an overfamiliarity with crisis, suspicion, and deep-seated fears of betrayal and loss. Your karmic journey involves learning to let go of this intense, survival-mode energy to develop stability, self-worth, and financial security by embracing the simplicity, pleasure, and groundedness of your North Node in Taurus.

Natal Scorpio South Node

Scorpio south nodes have a tendency to ravage others in search of truth, hidden motives, something to pin inborn fear and jealousy onto. Finding something or someone that will validate your ultimately baseless and seemingly innate jealousy, fear of betrayal and hurt, and tendency toward relentless and often unnecessary defense is a primary driving force within you. It’s as if the south node in Scorpio is a searchlight looking for people and scenarios that will say to you, “Yes, you were right all along – you are not safe, you are not valuable because no one will ever see your value, and no one can be trusted, so wall yourself up in that castle, dig the moat deeper, build the walls thicker,” because if something in the outside world confirms these deep-rooted fears, that means you are right and you don’t have to change.


Scorpio is, in fact, a fixed sign – they fixate, sustain, and aim to prove. Because it is ruled by Mars – the planet that when expressed in its more challenging ways fixates on processes of lopping off, separations, and stressors – the south node in Scorpio is like the repeated, sustained slice of the scalpel; a surgical removal of anything that looks like “danger”, not just once, but on a daily basis; your scalpel always sharp and ready to go. You are the machete that slices through the thick forests that you imagine conceal all manner of secret treachery, and you don’t stop until the whole forest has been razed. You’re the stinger of the Scorpion’s tail, always raised high, glistening with venom. You have the relentlessness of both Mars and fixity. You may pride yourself on your ability to survive brutal circumstances, but that pride is not without a strong dose of resentment, and it never really feels empowering. And to the south node in Scorpio, this is the only possible way to live. No alternatives exist for you.


This is not true. There is another way. The alternatives are endless, in fact. Not everybody lives this way, and it’s not because there isn’t just as much potential for danger and pain awaiting them. Many others are just less likely to fixate on the danger. For Scorpio south nodes there is a natural draw to consistent instability, but you are destined to explore the alternatives
