ACHILLES’ HEEL/TRAP TO AVOID/THE BOTTOM LINE
The Achilles’ heel Taurus North Node people need to be awareof is seeking self-worth through others (“I can only feel okay aboutmyself through the validation of others”), which can lead them intothe trap of an unending search for a soul mate (“If I have this onespecial person’s energy, I’ll feel complete”). In truth, Taurus NorthNode people can only achieve a sense of completeness withinthemselves—it will never come as the by-product of a relationship,even with a soul mate. No matter how much support and validationthey get from others, they always think they need more. In fact, forthem, others’ validation is a false barometer of whether they are onthe right track. Living according to standards they know are right forthem, regardless of what others think, will help them develop asense of self-worth.The bottom line is that at some point they must stop beingenmeshed with others and involved in others’ business, and simplywalk their own path instead. The irony is that when they begin to dothis, others will support them, both financially and on an energylevel.
WHAT THESE PEOPLE REALLY WANT
What these people really want is to merge with someone else’senergy and feel mutual empowerment. They are looking for total,permanent commitment. They want a partner whom they can counton to take care of all their material needs, and they will take care ofall the partner’s emotional needs (or vice versa)—a synergisticrelationship that is mutually empowering and completelydependable. To successfully establish this type of relationship, theymust be discriminating and find someone with similar energy andvalues. The shared goals must be innately valuable to each of themas individuals.For this to happen, Taurus North Node people must first get intouch with their own values. They must become strong withinthemselves, aware of what they want, and tune in to what is real andmeaningful for them. The challenge is to establish their own energysystems and figure out who they are as individuals. As their energybecomes stronger, they will automatically attract mates of similarenergy with whom they can form successful partnerships.
TALENTS/PROFESSION
These people are the master builders—whether it’s a home, arelationship, or a business. When they’re willing to follow the rules,they can successfully build anything. They excel in professions thatare in alignment with what they consider to be truly valuable. Forexample, if they consider massage to be a tool for healing othersthat could also be profitable for them, then they would be successfulin that field. They also have talents with money; focusing on waysby which they can make money on their own and be comfortablewill also lead to an appropriate profession.Any field that emphasizes appreciation of the physical aspects oflife and the five senses would be enjoyable and profitable: farming,construction, engineering, cooking, or teaching physical education.Genetally, Taurus North Nodes’ best bet is to “do their own thing”:either manage their own project or business, or work for a companywhere they can feel autonomous. They need to learn to foregoimmediate results and build one step at a time, becomingcomfortable with each step before moving on.Taurus North Node people also have the gift of being veryeffective in crisis situations, and they have a natural affinity withpsychology. Their awareness of the needs and desires of others canhelp them further their own aims. By openly acknowledging andusing the energies of others in mutually empowering (win/win)ways, Taurus North Node people can help achieve the results thatboth are seeking. However, if they involve themselves inprofessions that focus on psychology or crisis management, they aregenerally not satisfied and end up feeling empty. They are better offusing their talents to establish something of tangible value, whichgives them an increased sense of stability.
