South Node in Aries
The South Node in Aries is the familiar ground of self-reliance, initiative and doing it alone; the North Node in Libra asks for partnership and fairness. The habit is easy to fall back into and the growth lies in the other direction.
In plain words
The South Node stands for what you already know too well. In Aries, that works in an Aries way: quick, brave and impatient. You act first and think about it later.
