On a deep level, Pisces North Node people know they are
headed into the unknown—that is their destiny! Yet they dig their
heels in. They are used to organization and form; any new
experience is frightening and is met with initial resistance. They
don’t know what role to play or what is expected of them. There are
certain definitions in their role, and when they move into the
unknown, there are no definitions. They fear being swept away.
Another reason they dread the unknown is that they have had
negative experiences where something unexpected “blindsided”
them. Thus, they are afraid of what they cannot yet see. They focus
on analyzing the details, hoping to keep their world under control.
Unfortunately, this is exactly the opposite of what will work for
them. By being so focused on the details, they lose touch with the
larger vision and don’t notice what’s happening on the periphery.
Then unexpected things actually can surprise them. (It’s like a
driver being so focused on not hitting the car in front of him that he
misses the fact that the car on his right is weaving over the line.)
These folks need to step back from the here and now so they can
gain a broader view of life unfolding around them.
Pisces North Node people may think they have to purify their
personality as much as possible before it’s safe to bring in energy
that can truly transform and open their consciousness. They think
that any blocks in their consciousness will stop the flow of energy,
depriving them of the strength to deal with the unknown. Indeed, on
their own they don’t have the energy to handle it with clarity and
focus, which is why they need to align themselves with a Higher
Power. Once they move into the unknown, the clarity and focus
they seek will emerge.
CHAOS
These folks hate disorder and chaos. It evokes tremendous fear
of getting lost and not knowing where they belong. They need to be
willing to trust that a positive Higher Power is in charge and that
order is actually the intrinsic nature of the universe. The only way
they can reach a higher level of order is by letting go of the current
level of order and allowing the chaos to dissolve it so the new order
can emerge.
When Pisces North Node people release their iron grip on the old
structure, they move into a new realm of experience. In the process,
what will dissolve and change is the old way of experiencing. Since
that’s what they know as “self,” it feels like the self is dying—
which allows a new, more vital and expanded self to emerge.
For example, if a person doesn’t drive, she may have developed
many behaviors to compensate for that limitation: forming
attachments to people who have cars, depending on others for
transportation, asking others to run errands for her, and so on. She
may have made an entire life out of that! Then, when she gets the
opportunity to own a car, she feels the panic of leaving her old
patterns of relating. Yet when she actually begins to drive, a whole
new, expanded self and freer lifestyle will emerge. Change is
inevitable. When these folks learn to greet change rather than resist
it, they’ll find their lives becoming much easier and a lot more fun.
Pisces North Node people often go through acute mental
anguish before taking action in the outer world. They can fall into a
state of obsessive worry about what others will say and how they
will respond. Basically, they fear they are inadequate to handle
confrontations, so they tend to postpone taking action until the last
possible moment. Much to their surprise, it’s rarely as difficult as
they thought it would be. Yet they don’t seem to have much
carryover from one success to the next. They complicate the issue
so much in their minds that even when they’ve had successful
confrontations, the next time they go through the mental anguish all
over again.
This is one issue that is too difficult to resolve on the tangible
level. Their lesson is to simply rise above it and recognize that a
Higher Power is in charge that brings certain situations as
opportunities for expansion and growth. Pisces North Node people
need to pull back and reflect on how current circumstances can
move them closer to their goal. Then they can take action without
being attached to the outcome—and just by taking action they will
know what to do next. Each step points out the next appropriate
step. The key is to not be attached to the result of the action.
There’s no middle ground for Pisces North Node people. All their
thinking, second-guessing, and analyzing will not make their lives
easier. Without consciously and consistently relying on a Higher
Power to see them through their day, life is one anxiety after
another—no amount of service seems to protect them from
confrontations. When obstructions arise, all they need to do is put
the situation in the hands of a Higher Power and take care of each
step as it unfolds.
For example, if the Pisces North Node is at a restaurant and his
credit card is refused, his immediate response would be panic and
resistance: “Why did this have to happen? I was having such a great
day, and this came along!” Or “Oh, no! Someone has stolen my card
and is running up my bill!” He will go on and on, making a huge
upset out of a relatively routine event, feeling sorry for himself and
believing that the incident never would have happened if the
universe loved him. He traumatizes himself and everyone else by
not accepting what has happened.
Actually, the first step is obvious: Call the credit card company
and find out what’s going on. In the larger scheme of things, maybe
he should have paid more attention to how much he was spending
with his credit card, and this is the universe’s way of waking him up
before he gets too deeply in debt. Or maybe someone did copy the
number, and this is the universe’s way of alerting him. Or perhaps
the credit card company made the mistake, and only through this
feedback can it correct whatever led to the error. Pisces North
Nodes must trust that there is a larger picture unfolding and a
greater good emerging out of the incident.
Pisces North Node people have a tendency to structure their
time with so much routine and so many rules and duties that their
lives become totally predictable. Once they’ve created the structure,
they really don’t want it that way. But when events occur that might
take their lives in an interesting direction, they all too easily fall
back into their daily rut. They’d much rather take a different, more
scenic route, but to do that they have to begin to live more
consciously.
The first step in living on a more conscious level involves
taking time each day for solitude and reflection. They should set
aside a regular time—at least 40 minutes a day—to do nothing: no
television, no radio, no telephone or other external stimuli. If they
like, they can practice a meditation technique, followed by silence
as they learn to wait for new revelations. Or they can keep a journal,
writing down the activities of the previous day and looking for a
“higher reason” behind events. Or they can read from a spiritual
book: the Bible, the I Ching, or whatever offers them guidance and
insight. They could spend part of their 40 minutes practicing yoga,
breathing techniques, or relaxation exercises—gentle, physical
approaches to connecting with their inner peace.
The idea is this: It’s their time—no duties, no errands, no work,
no role playing, no distractions. It’s a time to get in touch with the
larger vision for their life: What do they want to build and
experience? At home or at work, what vision would they like to
manifest? What atmosphere would they like to create? Evaluating
these issues, at least once a week, will give them a sense of taking
responsibility for their lives.
This also gives Pisces North Node people a time to tune in to
their relationships and family life: Are they spending quality time
with the significant people in their lives? If they were 95 years old,
what experiences would they regret not having had with each of
their children? What kind of closeness or activities do they want to
have with’ their mate? Are there any places to which they would
especially like to travel? Re-evaluating these issues regularly will
provide insights that can add a new and exciting dimension to their
lives. And the magic is that it’s not linear. Ideas will simply “occur”
to them during meditation about how to bring these things into
manifestation.
During meditation, these folks might also reflect on other people
who could help enact their vision. Are there friends who can further
them spiritually or make their lives more interesting? Are there
classes that will open new vistas for spiritual fulfillment and peace
of mind? Solitude is the key. By taking those 40 minutes a day for
themselves, Pisces North Nodes will be amazed how their lives will
change.
Pisces North Node people have spent so many incarnations
enacting the vision that they have lost touch with what they are
striving to manifest. In this lifetime, it’s vital for them to get back in
touch with their private dream—what they intend to create with
their life. One way to do this is to make regular (perhaps monthly)
“wish lists,” writing down what they want to manifest. This helps
them get in touch with their intentions; as soon as they do it, the
things they want to create magically begin to occur. Once they stop
worrying about what isn’t working, and simply write down the way
they want it to be, they will find themselves doing those things that
create their dreams in reality.
When these folks get pulled back into a linear, repetitive way of
living, it triggers their subconscious past-life issues of needing to
have everything rigid and scheduled. Then they get so intensively
involved in immediate circumstances that they can’t see the broader
picture. They let themselves get caught up in that position time and
time again; and although it never works, they believe that’s what
they need to do to be successful in life.
Pisces North Node people are learning proper discrimination
between what is important in terms of their larger values and their
vision, and what is a temporary upset that will soon pass. When
they put aside their analytical mindset and their hectic activity, and
just allow themselves to be and to pursue their dream, life is much
easier. Magically, their dreams begin to manifest.
Detachment is a major issue for Pisces North Node people in
releasing themselves from their role. When they can detach from
their emotional state, rise above it, and observe it, they can grow
and change. The key is self-observation. They must objectively
watch themselves: relating to coworkers, with family members,
driving down the road, and so on.
When these folks can watch themselves without judgment and
see how their need to satisfy other people is damaging, then they
start to change. For instance, if they become upset on the job or
stressed out trying to meet someone else’s deadline, they need to
notice how it makes them feel. Then they are using their eye for
detail—not to watch the outside, but to watch their internal response
(both physical and emotional).
When they begin the process of objectively watching themselves,
everything will begin to change. Their health will improve and they
will begin to feel more comfortable with themselves and others.
Through this process, their focus shifts from worrying about how
they fit in with others to how they fit with themselves. That’s when
growth begins.
The purpose of this incarnation for Pisces North Node people is
to find a spiritual path that will help release their overemphasis on
the tangible and tune in to the comfort that is available within the
context of a higher consciousness. They need to allow their sense of
a Higher Power to permeate every facet of their lives. Then it will
work for them to “go with the flow” and allow other people to
direct them along their path, as long as their inner being feels
peaceful with the advice they are receiving.
These folks are so used to pushing to get things done that they
sometimes go into the mode of “I will make this work.” Then they
are “off path.” They need to remind themselves to stay in touch
with their Higher Power and to allow that Power to guide and direct
them, moment by moment. They need to relinquish the incessant
analysis and simply watch for the signposts or “omens” that show
the next step. Then they must trust those signposts, take a risk, and
follow them.
Pisces North Node people are also born with the ability to see the
future. They can feel the sequence of events, once they relax into
their psychic sensitivity. They often overreact at the first prophecy
they see. A picture (a person or a situation) will come across their
mind, and they will feel incredible anxiety and insecurity. They
know there will be a problem in the immediate future. They have
accessed a new gift of this incarnation: the gift of psychic intuition.
This is a wonderful gift—it can protect them from negative
situations by warning them in advance. However, their first reaction
is panic because they feel helpless. Because forewarned is
forearmed, they will eventually realize that if they can see what is
coming they can either sidestep it or figure out how to use it to their
advantage. Their best bet is to refrain from action until they have
more information. They need time and solitude for the insights and
correct resolutions to come through their intuitive process.
These folks have a lot of Angels around them—all they need to
do is to stay open and watch for the vision of how to use current
circumstances to advance their plans. But they mustn’t “analyze”
the situation. Their job is to be patient and wait until their psyche
reveals how each circumstance is actually a stepping-stone to
successfully reaching their goal.
Once they are tuned in to their psychic gifts, Pisces North Node
people can see problems months in advance and avoid them. When
they pull back a little, they can use the vision of timing and
opportunity to make their life more peaceful and serene. They are
learning to connect with a newfound confidence in their ability to
handle day-to-day situations.
TRUST
Pisces North Node people have had so many incarnations
monitoring their behavior that in this lifetime they tend to not speak
their minds. They hold back, not wanting to add “bad energy” to the
situation. This leads to a good deal of time spent in wishing they
had said something they didn’t say.
Once again, resolution lies in trusting themselves and being
aware of their motive. If what they want to say will involve casting
the other person as “wrong” or changing another’s behavior, they
will lose. However, if they are pulled back from the situation and
speaking from a position of love (just being open to the flow of
what occurs to them to say in the moment), their words will be
appropriate and accurate. It might be frustration or a surge of energy
—it could be anything—but the idea is not to censor it. When they
say it, it helps make a correction for the other person, and the Pisces
North Node person will have risked being himself in the moment.
The irony is that when these folks are being themselves—without
a “role”—that’s when they’re really teaching! When there’s no “be
perfect” script for what they should say or do, they best demonstrate
to others the spiritual principles they value. When they let the
Infinite within them respond naturally, it works.
These folks are ready to experience a higher realization of their
own perfection—not through manipulating physical matter to “look
good,” but through trusting the intangible perfection of things as
they are. The inner work these folks are scheduled to do involves
letting go of self-defeating patterns—sabotaging themselves by
trying to have things perfect according to their self-imposed ideals.
When they trust the universe, they are no longer afraid of change.
Everything unfolds as part of the Flow, their intentions are good,
and the Infinite (or God, or a Higher Power) is on their side. They
can see that everyone who enters their life is sent by a Higher
Power as part of a larger plan, so the end result must be positive.
When they trust the flow of life, the right people come, the right
changes happen, they can feel the positive energy, and they can see
the larger picture. The idea is to look for the good. Once they have
released their worry to the universe, their feelings of inadequacy are
transformed into feelings of ease and quiet power.
From past lives, the minds of Pisces North Node people are so
complex that in this incarnation their goal is simplicity. The simple,
uncomplicated answers will work best for them now. When they are
able to slow themselves down and stay fluid, they can pick up on
the bits and pieces of information from their Angels showing them
that “all is well.” This recognition alone empowers them to see the
correct action to manifest their vision.
In this incarnation, Pisces North Node people are learning
acceptance and compassion. Their job is to suspend judgment; when
they cease criticizing others, they will cease being so hard on
themselves. This opens the way to the tranquility they have always
sought. All the silent judgments they make against the other person
—the critical things they notice—prevent them from letting down
their barriers and truly combining in love with the other person.
These folks are learning that their thoughts about others are
actually the thoughts they subconsciously fear others have about
them. Thus, when they view someone else, if they see her in a
critical way (“Her hair’s too long,” “Her hair’s too short,” “She’s
behaving badly”), they project that others are having the same
critical thoughts about them. On the other hand, if they consciously
know that the other person is doing the best she can with the Light
she has, or if they deliberately think of some good point about her
and view her with love, then subconsciously they will think that
others are viewing them in the same accepting way. That will relax
their own self-judgment.
Of course, once they start doing this they’ll want to be perfect
and will tend to judge themselves harshly if they forget. When
they’re not perfect it’s really to their advantage, because it keeps
them humble. Then they can notice that they, too, are doing the best
they can with the Light they have at the time, and it will be easier
for them to love themselves.
Pisces North Node people have had times in their lives when
they’ve slipped into an enlightened state—a state of total
compassion with the universe. As they suspend judgment of others
and themselves, they gain access to this state of consciousness on a
more consistent basis.
Pisces North Node people want to remain in a state of
interrupted bliss, and the things that pull them out of it are all the
unexpected events in the mundane world that disrupt their plans.
One practice they could implement to maintain their inner peace
would be to say—no matter what happens—“The Universe loves
me, and somehow this will work out to my advantage.” They can
repeat it several times if they need to. If they greet all changes with
this verbal affirmation, they will be amazed at how their viewpoint
shifts.
The idea is to be thankful for every situation that comes their
way, regardless of how that situation may appear: “Thank you, God,
for this problem with my health”—whatever it is, they must be
grateful for it. This can work miracles. As they gratefully
acknowledge their current situation and remain open spiritually,
their resistance will dissolve; with that, the next step becomes
apparent.
These folks can have a difficult beginning owing to the worries,
anxieties, and duties that consume their lives. But once they make
the transition to focusing on the spiritual reality behind the world of
tangible appearances, theirs can be the most blissful of lives! Once
they are in touch with being conscious and learning to objectively
observe themselves, they become aware of the more subtle energy
pulls in the Flow—where things are going and how to navigate to
reach their goal. The Infinite seems to take care of them; and as
long as they stay conscious, they can accurately see where to take
the next step.
Pisces North Node people are immersed in an atmospheric field
of magical spiritual power. The irony is that they are totally
unaware of it. They act as though they have no power at all and try
to succeed from an ego level. All they have to do is relax into the
spiritual atmosphere surrounding them, and magic will take over
their lives. Theirs is the easiest of all incarnations, if they will only
let go of their attachment to making it difficult. If they “Let go and
let God,” they can move in the peacefulness of the Infinite itself
guiding them.
The most difficult part of their journey is to understand that what
is “real” to the other nodal types—the tangible, physical world that
everyone agrees exists—is not destined to be their primary reality.
To focus on the intangible as the basis of their reality requires a
willingness to risk being misunderstood by others. Their job is to
bring the experience of spiritual reality to the planet, and they can
only do that through awareness of it in their own lives. It is only by
being absorbed in the spiritual atmosphere themselves that they can
communicate this reality to others through their own quiet joy.
