South Node in Scorpio
The South Node in Scorpio is the familiar intensity, control and crisis; the North Node in Taurus asks for simplicity and self-worth. The habit dramatises; the growth settles.
In plain words
The South Node stands for what you already know too well. In Scorpio, that works in a Scorpio way: intense, private, all or nothing. You go after what you want quietly and do not let go.
