The North Node in Scorpio in your natal chart occurs when the moon crosses the Earth's orbit around the sun while in Scorpio at the moment of your birth. The presence of a Scorpio North Node in your birth chart indicates karmic issues associated with embracing difficult emotions and change.
Understanding North Node in Scorpio
At the moment of your birth, you are born with two lunar nodes in opposite houses separated by 180°: North Node (☊) and South Node (☋). When your North Node is in Scorpio, your South Node is in Taurus because the two are always separated by 180°. North Node position in a given zodiac sign typically occurs for a period of about 18 months, and the combination of the natal chart North Node with the current position of the North Node on any given date in history determines how the energy will manifest in your life in the present moment. For example, the North Node will be in Gemini from May 6, 2020 to January 18, 2022, and it will move into Taurus on January 19, 2022, where it will remain until July 18, 2023. Therefore, if you have a natal chart North Node in Scorpio, it will likely combine with the North Node energy of Gemini or Taurus depending on the present date.
