ACHILLES’ HEEL/TRAP TO AVOID/THE BOTTOM LINE
Virgo North Nodes’ Achilles’ heel is victim consciousness (“If I
don’t have constant, compassionate attention and understanding
from others, someone will take advantage of me”). But it’s a
bottomless pit: Others can never give them enough reassurance to
overcome their inner sense of helplessness and paranoia. Only when
they look within can they discover what outer structures they need
to create in order to give themselves strength and purpose.
The trap they must avoid is an unending search for a savior or
mentor whom they can trust blindly and to whom they can
surrender (“If only I can surrender enough, God will put things in
order”). However, life has shown them that inward surrender will
not make the external world orderly and productive. The only way
they can achieve their goals is to organize their lives in the way they
need them to be, so they will feel safe and strong.
The bottom line is that they’ll never feel they have enough
confidence to go into the world and do something productive. At
some point they simply have to begin actively participating in life.
The irony is that when they begin to participate and learn what leads
to successful results, they will gain the confidence they seek.
WHAT THESE PEOPLE REALLY WANT
What these people really want is to be lost in the security
blanket of their own personal connection with the universe. They
want to “let go” into something larger than themselves that will
support them and give them an expanded sense of identity. Virgo
North Node people have an insatiable need to experience peace and
oneness. But to successfully attain this goal, they must go into the
world and be of service to others. As they shift attention from their
own fears and focus instead on the here and now, they can easily see
how to restore order in situations of chaos.
TALENTS/PROFESSION
These people make excellent doctors, dentists, nurses, or nurses’
aides, because such professions give them the opportunity to use
their healing energies while being of service in practical ways.
Psychologist, healer, dietician, accountant, organizer, and
craftsperson are also good choices. Virgo North Node people have
“good karma” on the job and get along well with coworkers and
employees. They can accomplish a task in one hour that might take
another person five; they should be in a situation where “getting the
job done” is honored, rather than simply working for an hourly
wage.
Another reason the healing professions are excellent choices is
that these jobs deal with the physical nuts and bolts of life. In fields
where success is so dependent on paying attention to detail, Virgo
North Node people are forced to stay in the present. For them, the
process of physically creating order relieves psychological stress.
Virgo North Node people also have compassion and a capacity to
remain aware of the larger picture. These past-life gifts of spiritual
awareness are an asset when Virgo North Node actively participates
in creating tangible results. However, professions in which the goal
is attainment of spiritual consciousness and forgiveness tend to
undermine the grounding these people need to feel strong and
complete.
