ACHILLES’ HEEL/TRAP TO AVOID/THE BOTTOM LINE
The Achilles’ heel Pisces North Node people need to be aware
of is their compulsive need for order (“My survival depends on
everything being in order according to my view of how life ought to
be and how others ought to behave”), and it can lead them into the
trap of an unending search for perfection (“If only the people
around me were more perfect, I could relax and trust”). But it’s a
bottomless pit: Since life and other people are never in a static state
of perfect order long enough for Pisces North Nodes to feel secure,
their expectations can lead to continual tension and anxiety.
Because life—and others—are never ideal enough for them to let go
of control, they continually postpone trust and joy.
The bottom line involves accepting that the universe’s plan is
better than theirs and that things are unfolding properly, regardless
of how it seems. The only place they can create “perfect order” is
within themselves, by surrendering to a Higher Power and trusting
that everything is indeed in order. The irony is that when Pisces
North Node people blindly trust the Infinite and accept that
everything contributes to their greater happiness, they suddenly
become aware of the larger picture and begin to sense how things
are working to their advantage. Then they can let go of control and
be happy.
WHAT THESE PEOPLE REALLY WANT
What these people really want is to be right all the time and to
be perfect in the sense that they—and everyone else—are following
“the plan” 100 percent of the time. But they want everyone to be in
total, perfect alignment with “the plan” that they think is right. First
they need to accept that they do not know what “the plan” is. They
need to turn away from rigid physical and material planning and
refocus on the larger, spiritual vision. Through trusting and
surrendering to the wisdom of the Higher Power, they can watch
life’s circumstances with the conviction that what is unfolding is
indeed part of “the plan.” Then the way becomes clear. They are
filled with calm and feel in alignment with “the plan” because the
spiritual vision is the energy of perfection they are seeking.
Pisces rules enlightened states of consciousness, the oceanic
feeling of oneness with all life. At times Pisces North Node people
have slipped into an enlightenment state—a state of total connection
with the universe. Their life purpose is to nurture that state and
make it part of their daily experience.
TALENTS/PROFESSION
These people need to have their own private office or space.
They work very well alone and enjoy projects that involve
discovering and carrying out a vision where the work is done in
private (such as research, library work, or computer work). Pisces
North Node people succeed in any profession that involves the
individual pursuit of spiritual Truth, including working and living in
monasteries or convents. They can be fantastic artists, craftspeople,
performers, or musicians—bringing their private dream to others.
They are also great promoters, because they are so good at “behind
the scenes” activities. Even if they work in a regular job, they need
to allow themselves ample time for solitude and reflection.
Pisces North Node people also have inherent gifts for noticing
pertinent details and analyzing the significance of information.
When they use these past-life gifts as a backdrop for manifesting
their dreams, their innate practicality will help them. However, if
they involve themselves in professions that stress attention to detail,
in-depth analysis, perfection, or accuracy (such as bookkeeping or
systems analysis), they are likely to experience anxiety and
restlessness. These folks are better off when their profession focuses
on manifesting a vision, empowering them to use their practical
skills to bring it into reality.
