ACHILLES’ HEEL/TRAP TO AVOID/THE BOTTOM LINE
Scorpio North Nodes’ Achilles’ heel is comfort (“The goal of
life is to be comfortable; I need lots of possessions to survive”),
which can lead them into the trap of an unending search for
accumulation (“When I finally have enough money and
possessions, I will feel good about myself and can relate to others”).
This thinking leads to stagnation on all levels: material, physical,
mental, emotional, and spiritual. Life experience has shown that
Scorpio North Nodes never get enough “stuff” to feel comfortable
in making the changes that will add vitality to their life. Scorpio
North Node people need to be willing to risk losing their current
level of comfort to gain a higher state of power and vitality.
The bottom line is that they will never have enough money and
personal property to think they can afford to bond with another and
feel that there is enough to take care of all their needs. At some
point they simply have to let go of self-concern and put their full
power into the partnership. The irony is that when they finally bond
with another, the mutually empowering relationship can make them
rich!
WHAT THESE PEOPLE REALLY WANT
What these people really want is money. They want to
accumulate financial resources and material possessions to gain a
sense of comfort and stability so they can begin to “really live.” To
achieve this, these people need to be willing to form partnerships
with others, finding those who have similar values and resources
(money or talent) that they can share.
If Scorpio North Node people use their talents to enhance their
partner’s energy, truly linking with the other as a team rather than
maintaining a sense of separation (my money/your money, my
resources/your resources), the result can be great financial rewards
for both parties. With the contractual understanding that they will
get a percentage of the profits, Scorpio North Node people are free
to focus on enhancing their partner’s energy and power in ways that
the other person feels will increase the success of the team. In terms
of financial arrangements, Scorpio North Node people are; better
off asking their partner what would be fair, because others
appreciate them more than they value themselves.
TALENTS/PROFESSION
These people are great editors, since they have the ability to
delve into the minds of others, discern their intentions, and bring the
material to light in a clear way. They have a talent for empowering
the projects and businesses of others, and when they do so, the other
person tends to generously reward them. This can be especially true
in working with other people’s money—as in banking, insurance, or
investments. They also excel as psychologists (in the process of
helping others to change, they can also change) and private
investigators, or in other lines of work that involve delving into
secrets.
Scorpio North Node people have innate gifts of thoroughness and
determination, which can build lasting results. When they use these
past-life gifts as a means for creating stability in crisis situations,
their dependability creates an environment that feels comfortable
and safe to all concerned. However, if they involve themselves in
professions that are status quo oriented, that require maintenance
without growth, they may soon become stagnant, bogged down, and
lacking in vitality. They are better off in professions that are crisis
oriented or involve constant change and growth, as this brings
excitement and the potential for personal evolution.
