Aries North Node

Areas to Develop –
Independence
Self-Awareness
Trusting One’s Impulses
Courage
Constructive self-interest
Moderation in giving
Self nurturance

Tendencies to leave behind
Seeing oneself through other’s eyes
Debilitating selflessness
Being Mr. or Mrs. Nice
Obsessive attachment to fairness and justice
Co-dependence: attachment to external harmony
‘Tiit for tat’ mentality

Achilles’ Heel / Trap to Avoid/ The Bottom Line
The Achilles’ Heel Aries North Node people need to be aware of is a preoccupation with justice.{‘my survival is dependant on everyone playing fair with me’; this thought should signal that they are on shaky ground}. These folks are very giving by nature, yet their need for justice an absolute fairness is a bottomless pit. They can start ‘playing fair’ with themselves by not giving beyond the point that feels comfortable, even if they know nothing will be reciprocated.

The trap that Aries North Node people need to avoid is the unending search for an ideal , committed partnership (“if only I can find the perfect partner , I’ll feel complete within myself”.) The feeling of completeness that they seek can only be achieved individually ; it will not be a byproduct of a relationship, no matter how wonderful the partner is.

Taurus North Node

Areas to Develop –
Loyalty
Awareness of boundries
Taking things one step at a time
A sense of self worth
Awareness of personal values
Patience
Honoring expressed needs of self and others
Enjoying the five physical senses
Gratitude
Awareness of nurturing from mother earth
Forgiveness
Persistance

Tendencies to leave behind
Attraction to Crisis situations
Over concern with other people’s business
Impatience
Inappropriate intensity
Judgmental tendencies
Preoccupation with the psychological motivation of others
Resistance to cooperation with what others want
Overreacting
Destroying something in order to eliminate one part
OCD tendencies

Achilles’ Heel / Trap to Avoid/ The Bottom Line
The Achilles’ Heel Taurus North Node people need to be aware of is seeking self-worth through others (“I can only feel good about myself through the validation of others”), which can lead them into a trap of an unending search for a soul mate. In truth Taurus North Node people can only achieve a sense of completeness within themselves – it will never come as a by product of a relationship, even with a soul mate. No matter how much support and validation they get from others, they always think they need more. In fact for them others’ validation is a false barometer of whether they are on the right track. Living according to the standards they know are right for them, regardless of what others think will help them develop a sense of self worth.

Gemini North Node

Areas to Develop –
Healthy Curiosity
Asking Questions to learn how others think
Seeing both sides of the situation
Tact
Logic
Communication of internal dichotomies
A positive approach to life and other people
Purposefully cheering up others
Using a non threatening approach when expressing ideas
Listening
Openess to new ideas and experiences
Seeking factual information before making decisions

Tendencies to leave behind
Self righteousness
Aloofness
Assuming others know “where they are at”
Thinking one knows what others are saying without really listening
Needing to be right
Careless spontaneity
Taking shortcuts
Acting on intuition without checking facts

Achilles’ Heel / Trap to Avoid/ The Bottom Line

The Achilles’ Heel Gemini North Node people need to be aware of is self-righteousness , which can lead them into the trap of an unending search for the Truth. But it’s a bottomless pit : since its impossible to be “right” all the time, they never feel good about themselves. And when they argue and try to convince other people they are right, others don’t want to connect with them.

Cancer North Node

Areas to Develop
Noticing and validating feelings
Empathy
Nurturing and supporting others
Building one’s own foundation and security
Honest disclosure of feelings and insecurities
Humility
Accepting others’ foibles and fluctuating moods without judgment
Staying centered in one’s own feelings

Tendencies to leave behind
Needing to control everything and everyone
Compulsion to take charge without fully understanding the situation
Ignoring the process; being too focused on the goal
Feeling completely responsible for everything
Hiding feelings and fears in intimate relationships
Doing things to gain respect or admiration from others

Achilles’ Heel / Trap to Avoid/ The Bottom Line
The Achilles’ Heel Cancer North Node people need to be aware of is their need for control. The truth is they never can control the situations-or other people-enough to feel that it’s safe to be themselves. When they try to take charge of the situations in other people’s lives without being invited, they are inappropriately usurping others’ responsibilities.
