ACHILLES’ HEEL/TRAP TO AVOID/THE BOTTOM LINE
The Achilles’ heel Gemini North Node people need to be aware
of is self-righteousness (“If other people would just acknowledge
that I am right and appreciate me for it, I would feel understood and
accepted”), which can lead them into the trap of an unending search
for Truth (“If I have all the right answers, everyone will value me;
then I can relax and feel connected to people”). But it’s a bottomless
pit: Since it’s impossible to be “right” all the time, they never feel
good about themselves. And when they argue and try to convince
people that they are right, others don’t want to connect with them.
However, if they have enough humility and openness to really
listen to a variety of viewpoints—even those that don’t fit with their
previous experiences—they can get to know people in a way that
helps them feel more connected. The bottom line is that at some
point they have to release their preoccupation with absolute Truth
and simply begin to relate to people as they are, listening to others
and learning from them. The irony is that in the process of this more
equitable and relaxed interaction, Truth is more successfully
communicated. And when Gemini North Node people really listen
to what is important to others, their responses are more appropriate
and helpful. Then people do appreciate them and want to connect
with them.
WHAT THESE PEOPLE REALLY WANT
These people really want to be totally free to pursue Truth, have
adventures, be spontaneous, and be right 100 percent of the time.
They want to speak completely from their Truth and their intuitive
processes, and to have everyone understand them, learn from them,
and appreciate their help.
To attain this goal, Gemini North Node people must stop
focusing on “their Truth” and begin to focus on the people around
them. They need to listen to—and understand—the information that
others share about their lives. When Gemini North Node people
listen in this way, sometimes they have an “aha!” insight that is
exactly the perspective that the other person needs. And because
this information accurately addresses the other’s problem, it will be
gratefully accepted.
TALENTS/PROFESSION
These people have the ability (when they listen) to tune in to the
specific thought process of others and supply information that
allows others to view problems from an expanded perspective.
Selling, writing, teaching, and communicating in all forms can bring
them happiness as well as material success.
Gifts in the areas of philosophy and religion, and an innate
awareness of ethics and morality, are also available to Gemini North
Node people. They can use their spiritual and intuitive awareness to
understand the thinking of others without losing their own Truth.
However, if they involve themselves professionally in the pursuit of
Truth or religion as a final aim, they may ultimately feel isolated.
They are better off when they use their natural talents to deeply
connect with others on a day-to-day basis.
