ACHILLES’ HEEL/TRAP TO AVOID/THE BOTTOM LINE

The Achilles’ heel Aquarius North Node people need to be
aware of is their need for others’ approval (“My survival depends
on others giving me approval”) and thinking that if they have
others’ approval their life is on the right track. But it’s a bottomless
pit: Aquarius North Node people can never get enough approval to
feel satisfied or to feel free to be themselves. Actually, for them the
approval of others is a false barometer. They must risk disapproval
and be true to their own unorthodox ideas in order to develop the
deeper and more satisfying feeling of self-approval.
The trap that Aquarius North Node people fall into is an
unending search for risk taking—especially in romance (“If I can
just have a happy love life, then I will feel complete and can begin
to do my part to help the planet”). However, if they don’t balance
this romantic energy with a daily commitment to some type of
humanitarian cause, it becomes too intense and they inadvertently
destroy the very relationship they want so badly.
The bottom line is that they’ll never feel free to dedicate
themselves to humanitarian concerns unless they can forget their
personal desires. When they add their considerable talents to
making universal causes successful, their efforts are energizing and
rewarding for everyone concerned. The irony is that when Aquarius
North Node people dedicate themselves to a larger cause, they find
that the universe will fulfill them on the personal level as well. They
need only be mindful of the old adage: “Be careful what you ask
for, because you just might get it”!

WHAT THESE PEOPLE REALLY WANT

What these people really want is to be in love: to be adored and
share “center stage” with someone who returns their passion. To
reach this goal they must learn to go with the flow—to tell the
universe what they want and let life (with its perfect timing) bring
others who will recognize and adore them. They need to learn to
receive love naturally—to be alert to the window of opportunity and
respond to those who come into their lives to love them. Spending
time with like-minded people, openly expressing their unorthodox
ideas and visions of the future, attracts lovers who can also be
friends and give them the support they need. When they focus on
enacting their altruistic dreams, life will send them special people to
charge their dreams with romantic energy.

TALENTS/PROFESSION

These people are effective with groups, as they can see how to
promote open, harmonious cooperation. Their interests are
nonpartisan, so they are capable of doing what’s best for the group
as a whole. They are successful at furthering idealistic causes or
humanitarian goals in which they believe. Aquarius North Node
people are good in positions that require objectivity; they succeed as
scientists, astrologers, electricians, technicians, computer experts, or
in any occupation where the ability to see the future and bring it
into the present is an asset. They are successful and happy in work
that brings innovative ideas to the public. These natives produce
positive results through their own properly applied creative energy,
and they are able to see things through to completion. Broadcast
work in radio or television is another field in which they have innate
talents.
Additionally, Aquarius North Node people are extremely creative
and ready to bring enthusiasm, passion, and raw energy to get any
job done. When they use their determination to carry through in
ways that empower the group or further a higher cause, they
energize others. However, if they willfully enter professions that
spotlight themselves rather than a higher principle (for example,
movie star, corporate head, military or political figurehead), it
leaves them hardened and unable to relate to others with equality.
They are better off in fields where they can use their skills to further
important universal causes.
