ACHILLES’ HEEL/TRAP TO AVOID/THE BOTTOM LINE
The Achilles’ heel Libra North Node people need to be aware of
is selfishness (“My survival depends on looking out for myself first,
and others should make sure my needs are met regardless of anyone
else’s concerns”). But it’s a bottomless pit: If they feel that others
have to constantly fill their needs for them to feel safe and
connected, they will find that they always need more attention and
energy just to feel okay. They need to find partners whom they can
give to, who will feel so energized that they naturally fill Libra
North Node’s cup in appreciation. Satisfaction lies in connecting
with people who see them for who they are, appreciate them, and
want to give back to them.
The trap they need to avoid is an unending search for
independence (“If I can just be self-sufficient enough, I’ll have the
confidence to relate successfully with others and I won’t feel so
lonely”). Life has shown Libra North Node people that
accomplishments and independence do not make them feel
complete. The bottom line is that they’ll never feel a strong enough
sense of self to become part of a team. At some point they need to
take the risk of losing themselves in supporting another person. The
irony is that once they start unselfishly supporting someone else,
they begin to feel the joy and glory of their true self shining
through.
WHAT THESE PEOPLE REALLY WANT
What these people really want is to be their own person, to be
the center of attention, to discover themselves in different life
situations, and to surround themselves with people who feed them
energy. To achieve this, Libra North Node people need to refocus
their attention away from themselves and discover the nature of the
people who have been drawn to them. Once they discern which
people truly admire them and want to support them, and once they
begin to feed those people energy, the energy that comes back to
them will create the situation they want.
TALENTS/PROFESSION
These people are fantastic counselors, diplomats, and
peacemakers. They have the gift of clearly seeing and successfully
communicating the identity and concerns of person A to person?
(and vice versa) in a way that prompts mutual understanding and
fair, harmonious compromises. Libra North Node people also excel
in fields involving beauty and art, and they make great entertainers
or public speakers when their goal is to uplift, energize, and bring
confidence to their audience. They are extremely gifted and can be
successful—both materially and personally—in any profession
involving a supportive role.
Libra North Node people have innate gifts of independence and
leadership through their awareness of themselves as separate
entities. When they use their past-life gift of self-confidence as a
tool for peacemaking and helping establish justice for others, their
innate abilities create positive results. However, if they pursue
professions that have their own independence as the aim, they may
become dissatisfied and feel they have never reached their goal.
When they use their strong self-identity to support others, Libra
North Node people gain a sense of inner satisfaction and
completion.
