Saturn conjunct South Node

[athenian200]

I just read a chart in which someone's Saturn was conjunct the South Node. I haven't been able to find a lot of information on this aspect online. But it seems like it would be a rather powerful combination.

I'm very curious about how that particular combination would manifest in any chart. Would it intensify the attachment to those South Node patterns, mean that there was still work to be done perfecting those skills that they're ready to grow away from? Would it mean that there was karma carried over related to the use of those skills? Would it mean that they had painful associations or trauma associated with that past situation?

Saturn conjunct the South Node means that Saturn's traits are very well developed in a person because they have been using these traits in past lives. Usually this will bring a mix of good and bad traits. People with this placement may be serious, hardworking, persistent, disciplined, focused, self interested, boorish, have a tendency towards pessimism and/or depression, rigid, stingy, living in the past.
