Aquarius North Node people are here to help bring in a New
Age. They are taking the power accrued from past lives and giving
it back by building a bridge between the future and the present.
They are talented in applying humanitarian ideals to current
circumstances. They clearly see what is for the good of humankind,
are excellent networkers, and—when working to translate their
vision into reality—are extremely happy. Also, because they are
doing what they are uniquely equipped to do, life supports them and
their projects succeed.
As they contribute to humanitarian goals, using their power and
energy as a channel for unconventional ideas, their past-life pride
dissipates and self-confidence returns. They are natural doers—they
know how to get results. Their job is to act without identifying with
the results of their actions; then they are truly free to experiment
and be themselves.
These folks do have a natural attunement to the future; however,
this can be confusing in a number of ways. On a personal level, they
may see that their future contains a particular outcome and then feel
frustrated when the outcome is withheld from them in the present.
For example, they may see themselves running their own company,
feel completely comfortable with that idea, and not understand why
they are still working for someone else with no opportunity to go
out on their own. But it may just be a matter of timing: They may
need to do their current job in order to learn skills that will be
required for success later.
In fact, they are nearly always “ahead of their time.” They may
love a particular shade of violet ten years before it’s the rage, or be
attracted to music that doesn’t become popular until eight or nine
years later. Recognizing that they have an attunement to the future
can help them feel more comfortable with being a bit unorthodox.
Aquarius North Node people see the next step that humankind
needs to take for its own growth. They are messengers from the
future, and by sharing their innovative ideas they empower
humankind to evolve in consciousness. So it is important for them
not to hold back because of their desire for approval.
These folks have a larger purpose than simply fulfilling the
interests of their personal life. They are here to take an active role in
furthering human evolution—both through the personal
transformation necessary to set an example, and through
contributing their energy to humanitarian causes that help others
gain a more universal view.
The sooner Aquarius North Node people begin playing their part
to further the idealistic causes they are drawn to support, the sooner
they will feel more of a sense of wholeness. Their action might take
the form of group efforts to protect the environment, recycle, save
animals, build playgrounds for inner-city kids, end world hunger,
and the like; or they might donate monies to humanitarian causes.
They might begin their own project, using their creative talents
(writing, painting, music, photography, etc.).
If they are actively doing their part and someone else “discovers”
something that had also occurred to them, they are able to respond
with generosity: “Oh, good, that’s taken care of. Now I can move on
to the next thing.” They don’t have to worry—there’s plenty of New
Age work to go around! And when they are adding creative energy
to the movement, they are part of the larger group effort. Thus,
when others are successful in working toward the mutual goal, it is
Aquarius North Nodes’ victory as well.
However, it is important that these folks do what they have been
individually called to do, because they can’t count on others to
handle it. There may be five people scheduled to introduce a law
that protects the environment, but the other four may drop out. So
the native must be sure to do his or her part.
Aquarius North Node people have wonderful group karma
(three or more people constitute a group). Their best qualities
emerge to support, solidify, and inspire the groups of which they are
a part. They are great networkers—they love connecting with others
and are talented at finding a common bond among people.
However, when they work in group situations they like to be the
undisputed head of their own area. They like their role to be defined
and prefer to do it in their own way.
Often, Aquarius North Node people access innovative ideas that
can greatly assist the group, but owing to past-life needs for
approval they refrain from sharing these ideas—or their
spontaneous reactions to others’ ideas—for fear of disapproval. If
they keep their truth locked within, they end up feeling isolated.
However, openly sharing their ideas and personal reactions makes
them feel connected and often turns out to be exactly what was
needed to move the group forward in a cohesive way.
They think their reaction is personal, but usually their antennae
are picking up the group’s reaction and combining it with their own
New Age insight. For example, if someone proposes a measure and
Aquarius North Node feels uncomfortable, she might say: “For
some reason, I don’t feel comfortable with this.” The idea is to be
honest about whatever her antennae pick up at the time—and often
she discovers that it was exactly what others were feeling as well.
As these natives work to further the humanitarian goals that
stimulate them (that they feel they were born to be a part of), they
will meet others who were born to work toward the same goals.
Joining with these people in group situations actually facilitates the
manifestation of those goals.
Aquarius North Node people must release their abundant
creative energy toward directed goals in order to feel happy and
balanced. If not directed, the excess fiery energy causes bad moods,
resentment of others’ good luck, and the tendency to make
mountains out of molehills. Unless these folks are “creating,”
dissatisfaction undermines other areas of their life.
Their creativity can be released through a business, an art form,
the furthering of humanitarian causes, or acceleration of their
spiritual growth. Whether they are re-creating themselves through
spiritual disciplines or initiating projects in the tangible world, it is
in their best interest to be conscious of what they want to create and
use their passion to actively pursue it.
These folks have a tremendous amount of passion and creative
energy. They are happiest being involved in projects that allow them
to express this in their own way. They love to contribute, but they
need to be free to be innovative and creative. They don’t want to
follow someone else’s directions—it limits them and lowers their
“frequency.” If they try to slow down their high-frequency, intense
energy, it makes them crazy. When they ignore their own creative
impulses and do what they think they should do, their energy
plummets.
Aquarius North Node people were such powerful creators in past
lives that in this incarnation they are able to manifest anything they
want—they know how to do it. They can “source” things,
confidently creating something out of nothing. They are innovators,
not imitators. They can start businesses and creative projects on
their own and bring them to completion.
However, to achieve success they need to remember that there are
two parts to the creative process: observation and action.
Observation consists of research: What does the public need? What
does the other person want? This part of the creative dance moves
ahead in a measured way that objectively considers prevailing
circumstances and allows others to adjust to cooperate with the
vision.
Action requires will and determination to manifest a result and
capture the prize. Creative action requires ego; observation requires
nonego objectivity. If these folks experience a rebuff, their best bet
is to pull out of ego and move back into nonego observation mode
so they can objectively evaluate what has occurred. Then, when the
path ahead is clear, they can re-connect with ego and press for
results.
As long as they are not seeking self-aggrandizement, Aquarius
North Node people have the ability to intuit what will help people
and what will actually work for the good of the group. All the
power of the universe will support them because they’re
contributing to a higher cause—and this gives them access to
incredible power.
People may respond by putting the natives on a pedestal, but it
will be out of a sense of thankfulness because they have really
helped. They have helped from a position of equality, rather than
from a position of being “above” others—from being who they
really are rather than from playing a role.
These folks can create anything they decide they want. By having
the humility to enlist knowledge and help from others and the
openness to allow the natural timing of events to unfold, they can
easily manifest all their dreams that are in alignment with the larger
purpose of their life.
Aquarius North Node people have a tremendous amount of
creative passion; when they use it to produce a work of art or a
product, their focused intensity can be to their advantage. However,
when they apply the same intense passion to negotiating in the
world, they encounter problems. They tend to overfocus their highly
charismatic energy, and that’s one reason things “blow up” around
them! Their intensity actually repels what they’re trying to attract.
When their creative process isn’t going the way they want, it’s
usually an indication that they need to gain more knowledge before
moving ahead. They may need a deeper understanding; in fact, it
often helps to use a friend as a sounding board. When they aren’t
quite sure what to do next, the best bet is to do nothing and wait for
more information. If they charge ahead anyway, they generally end
up causing bigger problems.
These folks tend to react to external stimuli in an overly dramatic
way that intimidates others. Before considering what the other
person is saying, they may respond in a way that circumvents
further communication. They may try to force their will by having a
temper tantrum: becoming enraged at the other person, crying, or
being otherwise dramatic to get the other person to live up to their
expectations. But willfulness and pride block the energy of the
relationship.
They may also respond with impatience: “Why doesn’t he take
control of his life? Why doesn’t he do this for himself?” But in fact
others are doing what is right for them at the time. There’s no point
in these folks judging the other person for not living up to their
script!
When Aquarius North Node people get melodramatic, it’s
because they are magnifying reality and are afraid they won’t get
their way. They take any incident (a slight, a rejection, etc.) and
magnify it out of emotional proportion. However, whenever they
allow themselves to have excessive emotional reactions, that area of
their life will not work out. If they react dramatically to changes in
financial status, money will continue to be a source of difficulty. If
they get overly excited about a love affair, their intensity may push
the other person away.
Another “glitch” that occurs when their passion is aroused
(whether a romantic relationship or a goal that is extremely
important) is their tendency to take things too seriously. They often
become weighed down with the importance of their quest and lose
the lighthearted mental agility that would show them the way to
success.
These folks can even become “drama queens,” because the
intensity and intrigue of their life resemble a soap opera. The
problem is that although the action continues, the fun begins going
out of the play. Shakespearean drama always has a tragic ending.
When passion is involved, Aquarius North Nodes lose all
perspective and inadvertently set into motion unbalanced energies
that cause emotionally tragic consequences.
To maintain perspective, Aquarius North Node people need to
think of life as a comedy instead of a drama. There are many people
they are destined to meet, experiences they are meant to have, and
knowledge they ate supposed to share with others. Rather than
overreacting, they are better off using their creativity to see the
“higher reason” and cooperate with the Flow.
In past incarnations, these folks developed ego at the expense of
superego, thereby weakening their sense of morality as dictated by
society, family, and religion—and their awareness of humanitarian
ideals. For balance, they now need to develop an awareness of the
larger picture. Then they can assert their will in alignment with the
best interests of everyone around them.
By accessing an expanded level of consciousness, they will find a
goal that allows them to rise above ego. For example, I had an
Aquarius North Node client who was a photographer. Her work was
extremely creative; emitted a very loving, spiritual feeling; and was
altogether in alignment with doing her part to bring in the New Age.
However, because her motive was a strong ego desire for
acknowledgment and fame, she couldn’t see clearly how to get her
photography out into the world. She kept pursuing conventional
methods (private showings, etc.), none of which produced adequate
results.
Finally she began to make her primary goal that of simply
exposing her art to the general public. She began to place her work
wherever she felt it would be seen (in bagel shops, bookstores, etc.)
—and overnight, her photographs began to sell! This took humility,
as my client’s work had been exhibited in museums and leading
universities. But she found the path to success when she acted on
the bigger picture, even if it didn’t feed her ego.
Aquarius North Node people are accustomed to getting their
way, and they often become very upset when events don’t unfold
according to their timetable. Instead of allowing themselves to be
redirected, they become outraged at the obstruction. Rather than
recognizing that the tide has changed, and that perhaps life itself has
a larger plan that requires present events to unfold exactly as they
are, these folks resist. In this way they make the path a lot more
difficult than it has to be.
These folks need to be on the lookout for their own willfulness.
The personal will was so indulged in past lives that they came into
this incarnation and, as young children, said: “I want this!”—and
were truly shocked when their parents said “no.” As adults, they are
still shocked when the universe says “no.” They are learning to
transform personal will into a willingness to go with the flow and
lovingly accept the gifts that life brings.
When they try to force a result, they become strong, determined,
and obstinate. Their will can be a positive force when used as a
warrior’s strength for good, but negative when translated into a
tantrum. Part of the work of transforming an overdeveloped will
into a willingness to cooperate is to recognize good and bad timing.
For example, if Aquarius North Nodes’ will has become fixed on
going to the beach on Saturday, they will want to go even if it’s
snowing! It’s difficult for them to objectively factor in changing
conditions and modify their course accordingly. Thus, they miss
opportunities to advance by adapting to the larger picture, which is
always for the greater good—including their own.
Life doesn’t want to hurt them, but they ultimately hurt
themselves by resisting the timing of the universe. They are
learning to accept whatever happens in their lives as appropriate in
order to take the next step.
These folks are learning that when one door closes, another
opens. For example, they may have the opportunity to experience
the joy of a wonderful love affair. Someone new comes along and
sweeps them off their feet. But they have a serious career objective
in mind, try to postpone the love affair, and lose the opportunity to
experience love. Ironically, the career move they were seeking may
not materialize until six months later, which would have given them
plenty of time to experience the joy of the relationship. They often
cheat themselves of the gifts life brings, thinking they “know
better,” and then they feel regret.
Life may be bringing an opportunity for an entirely new career
endeavor that will give them more joy than anything they did
before. In subconscious readiness for the change, they begin to tire
of the old job but have no intention of leaving because of the good
benefits, income, and so on. Suddenly, events at work force them to
leave, and they become indignant and resistant: “Why is the
universe doing this to me?” Their anger may prevent them from
seeing the new window of opportunity; they are too distracted by
what they “don’t want” to see what is opening up for them.
Once again, self-discipline is the key: to keep from always
“having their way” by staying objective and focused on the larger
picture. This is not an instinctual response, so it requires conscious
intention. For example, if they are raising a daughter and their goal
is for her to grow up to be a strong woman, keeping that goal in
mind will help them rein in their ego and allow the child to have her
own way some of the time in order to support her strength. Or if the
goal is for their children to grow up in a harmonious atmosphere,
this may keep their ego from having to argue about how to load the
dishwasher. To discipline the ego, they have to consciously have a
larger goal that is personally meaningful to them.
Aquarius North Node people are learning to trust that there is a
bigger picture and that the Flow is always bringing opportunities for
their greatest good and happiness. They are learning to embrace
humility and graciously accept the gifts that life brings when those
gifts are presented—according to the timing of the universe rather
than through their own will.
In this lifetime, others are automatically drawn to Aquarius
North Node people to support them in altruistic projects. Also, they
are surrounded by Angels and spiritual Guides. It’s almost as
though before incarnating they were part of a larger group, and now
they are here on earth while other members of the group are in the
invisible realm to guide and help them.
Because these natives are incarnated in a physical body, they
can’t always see ahead clearly. Because they are accustomed to
being self-sufficient, they bluster ahead and often get hurt—but they
don’t have to do this. All they need to do is tune their antennae and
listen to their guidance, and the path will be much easier to follow.
This is not a “do it yourself” lifetime; their Guides are part of their
destiny and want to help them succeed, but it’s up to them to keep
the connection open.
In this incarnation, Aquarius North Node people are instruments
for higher forces. Thus, when they have an idea that is truly in
alignment with what is needed on the planet, the universe will set it
up so that they connect with the right people to help manifest the
idea. These folks are eclectic, combining the best of the associations
they are involved in under the auspices of their larger life path and
inner knowledge about the New Age. In this lifetime, the idea is for
them to transfer some of their strong loyalty to the Infinite, to their
own spirituality, and to cooperating with the larger Flow. In this
way their incredible creative will from past lives can click in and
their path to success will become magical. As long as they give
credit to “good luck,” the Angels, or the universe itself for the ideas
they put out, they are totally free to succeed. Nothing holds them
back because they are not interpreting success in a way that
overinflates their ego.
