South Node in Virgo | 6th house
The South Node (Ketu) in Virgo or in the 6th house: “Trust the process”
From the 11th January 2025 until the 26 July 2026 the North Node will move into Pisces, while the South Node of the Moon will move into the sign of Virgo – so this means that it is the time of your nodal return and the energy is even more exalted for you!
Since the traditional astrological chart also shows the zodiac sign of Pisces in the 12th house, we can say that it is in it’s natural and original position here. So if you want to find out about the archetypical meaning of the nodes in this position – you are in the right spot!
When we look at the South Node in Virgo, which also represents the 6th house and the North Node in Pisces, which also represents the 12th house, your fate is connected to your spiritual growth! It’s not in the daily grind, where you will find fulfillment. The spiritual sphere is where you find many doors open for you.
With your North node in Pisces or the 12th house and your South Node in Virgo or the 6th house, your soul path moves away from responsibilities of work, service and the everyday-life and leads you towards the spiritual growth of your soul. It is a journey from outside in: moving from routines of hard work and service to explore something that goes far beyond.

Your soul’s comfort zone: South Node placed in Virgo or in the 6th house
Virgo represents structure, logic, and meticulous attention to detail, and the 6th house governs work, health, and daily responsibilities. With the South Node here, these individuals feel a strong pull toward order, discipline, and routine because these areas provide a deep sense of security. They may have mastered these skills in past lifetimes or earlier in life, making them feel comfortable in structured environments where they can rely on their analytical abilities and problem-solving skills. They tend to take on responsibilities with ease, striving for efficiency and perfection in their work and daily life.
However, this comfort zone can become a trap. There is a natural inclination to seek stability, work tirelessly, and take on responsibilities, but sometimes this comes at the expense of their own spiritual needs. If they remain too attached to control, logic, and routine, they may feel restricted, unfulfilled, or even drained over time. They might experience burnout from overworking or a sense of stagnation, as though life is passing them by. The key lesson is that while the South Node in Virgo provides strong practical abilities and a solid foundation, true fulfillment comes from stepping beyond these familiar patterns and embracing the uncertainty and fluidity of life.
The 6th house is also associated with physical health and labor. People with this South Node placement may feel overly responsible for their own well-being and that of others. They might have lived past lives as healers, caregivers, or diligent workers, always tending to the needs of the world around them. However, this lifetime calls for a shift—moving away from rigid discipline and embracing surrender and trust. Ketu in this placement may indicate a rigid health routine. Movement and sports often feel natural, as well as a healthy diet. The strong energy of the South Node here might lead to excessive sports like bodybuilding or increased control of food intake. If you recognize this, keep in mind that control is not the path to fulfillment for you. Let go – also of the control of your body.
The South Node in Virgo in the 6th house can indicate a tendency to overanalyze, worry excessively, and become stuck in rigid habits. These individuals might resist trusting their intuition or struggle with letting go of control. They may find themselves constantly striving to fix, organize, or perfect things, rather than allowing life to flow naturally. This placement teaches that not everything can be planned or controlled—sometimes, surrendering to the unknown leads to greater wisdom and joy.
A practical way to recognize when you are stuck in your South Node is when you become overly critical, anxious about the future, or obsessed with getting everything “right.” If you find yourself caught in endless to-do lists or feeling restless because life is not following a structured plan, remember that your soul’s path is not about control. Moving towards your North Node means allowing yourself to trust your intuition, take breaks, and embrace the unknown. The South Node offers a well of talents and strengths, but its true gifts only emerge when used as a support rather than a crutch.
For a soul coming from Virgo’s world of logic and precision, learning to embrace flow and uncertainty may feel unsettling. Virgo wants clarity and control, while stepping outside of this comfort zone requires trust. There may be resistance to letting go of control, but ultimately, this placement offers a path toward divine connection, artistic inspiration, and inner peace. The great paradox of this nodal placement is that the true treasures of Virgo—the ability to organize, serve, and heal—can only be fully unlocked when the person allows themselves to integrate flexibility, intuition, and a connection to something beyond themselves and the material world.
Our advice to you is to experiment and try. It is very likely that you will feel more fulfilled when you let go of perfectionism and allow life to unfold organically. Meditate, sleep, dream, create, and let your intuition guide you. By embracing your North Node, you will find not only personal peace but also the ability to inspire and uplift others through your spiritual gifts.
Please be aware that we all have unique combinations of houses, signs and planets. For example, planets that are in the same sign as the South Node do have an impact on how this energy will be present in your life. As this gets more complex, I recommend booking a reading with me for a better understanding of planets and aspects to the South Node.
