Virgo North Node people are learning how to “rewire” their
own internal mechanisms so that their interactions with others
produce happier, more productive results. These folks love self-help
programs and do well with anything involving analysis and
technique. They have a special talent for successfully working on
themselves so that their style of being stimulates positive results in
the world. They have a natural understanding of psychology on a
very deep and healing level, which empowers them to change
themselves. When they exercise these talents—working on getting
their own “house in order”—they are energized, happy, and
productive.
To facilitate coming out of their shell, these folks should also
develop their generosity. They have an innate capacity to give
others the confidence of seeing that there is structure in the world.
Virgo North Node people need to develop self-sufficiency so
that they have the confidence to create healthy, mutually
empowering relationships. They have had too many incarnations of
helplessness and reliance on large organizations for their survival.
In striving toward self-sufficiency, these folks create the strength
that allows them to be vulnerable in a balanced way. If they are
reliant on someone else for their sense of well-being, their finances,
or other things, this can easily become complete surrender of their
power. There is also the problem of their natural affinity for
adoration and devotion. When they lived in monasteries, devotion
to a spiritual ideal was appropriate; but now, devotion to the wrong
human being can be their downfall. That’s why it is essential for
these folks to be discriminating regarding to whom or what they
give their devotion. In the right hands their devotion will be
understood and appreciated; in the wrong hands it could lead to
victimization.
These folks are learning to depend on people to be themselves.
They need to watch and see who people really are, and then depend
on them to be consistent in areas that are clearly intrinsic to their
nature. For example, if a person is monogamous by nature, then
Virgo North Node can probably depend on monogamy; if a person
does what he says he is going to do, Virgo North Node can count on
him to keep his word; and if a person is insensitive, Virgo North
Node can probably rely on that trait continuing as well.
As long as Virgo North Node people remain self-sufficient, they
are whole. They can function as a “total” person in every
relationship. For them, being self-sufficient doesn’t mean that they
won’t rely on others—it means that they won’t fall apart if others
don’t come through for them in the way they expect.
Owing to past lives in which other people controlled their time
and schedules, Virgo North Node people are not accustomed to
organizing themselves so that all parts of their lives fall into order.
Yet in this lifetime, they must plan how to use their time
constructively. Now, they are free! They are making their own rules
and voluntarily following them.
Routines are absolutely essential to keep their lives from
dissolving, which for them means facing limitless fears and feelings
of insecurity. They need to personally take charge and structure
their time so that their needs can be met in every area.
Diet and health are important for these folks. In past lives,
monasteries or institutions took the responsibility of maintaining a
balanced diet for them—in this lifetime, they must do it themselves.
They are extremely sensitive and easily affected by different foods.
They should notice the effect of certain foods and moderate their
diet accordingly.
For example, “spaciness” does not work for them in this lifetime.
They need to eat foods that help them feel grounded, solid, and
confident. They may do well to eliminate sugar if they notice that it
causes anxiety or lack of focus. They also require a regular exercise
program, which helps them feel physically strong so their selfconfidence can blossom.
More than any other nodal position, these folks must be
conscious of not overindulging in alcohol or drugs—they just don’t
have the tolerance for it. Their mindset is already unfocused, and
drugs or alcohol can affect them in an unhealthy, exaggerated way.
An orderly environment is essential for Virgo North Node
people. They do not do well with chaos. It is very important for
them to keep home and office neat, clean, and organized. Again, the
underlying issue is confidence. When their environment is neat and
orderly, they feel stronger and more confident in their ability to
create order in the world outside themselves.
Paying bills on time is another “must” routine for Virgo North
Nodes. Staying on top of the details creates an inner security that is
essential for them to operate with confidence and ease in the world.
They are actually dynamos—capable of accomplishing in one hour
what it would take the average person five hours to complete. The
issue is not a lack of talent, but rather soothing their psychological
state so that they are up to the challenge of facing the world.
Lists are excellent for helping these folks organize their
thinking. Planning allows them to focus their mental energy and
gain a sense of orderly participation and strength in the material
world. In decision making, it may help them to physically write out
all the pros and cons of the issue on paper, so the right path
becomes clear.
Virgo North Node people do well with daily planners and
elaborate organizing systems. Organizing details gives them more
confidence in their capacity to implement their vision.
A regular program of physical exercise is essential for these
folks. Going to the gym three times a week to give the body a
workout seems like a small thing—but in their case, the routine
gives a feeling of solid self-worth and well-being. The positive
repercussions of taking charge with a regular exercise routine
reinforce their emotional, mental, and spiritual power as well as
their physical energy.
Pets can be a real plus for Virgo North Node people. A pet
forces them into a routine and gives them someone else to take care
of on a tangible level. At the same time, pets provide a secure outlet
for the unconditional love—without boundaries—that Virgo North
Nodes want so much to give. With pets they are able to strike a
proper balance between unconditional love and discipline. If this
could be applied to their relationships with people, it would go a
long way in teaching them how to have happy, healthy human
relationships.
These folks have trouble being on time, because in past lives
other people prompted them. But now it is important for them to
learn to be on time. This is largely owing to the difference it makes
in their level of confidence. If they are late, they feel guilty; this
triggers their feeling of being “less than” others. To feel confident,
they must do their part to the last detail. If they are on time, they
have participated according to the rules and can deal with whatever
happens from that point forward. But if they are late, their whole
day may be off balance and they will carry a feeling of insecurity.
The problem is that they are so accustomed to living in a state of
timelessness in their consciousness that they have to deliberately
plan when to leave in order to get to their destination on time.
Otherwise, one thing after another will distract them. It requires
conscious attention on their part to be on time.
One method that works is to plan in advance how much time they
will need to comfortably reach their destination punctually, and then
add ten minutes. Knowing when they need to leave their house
helps; it also helps if they make that time inflexible in their minds:
“I have to leave here at 5:07, no later.”
At the other extreme, some of these folks have compensated for
this tendency by becoming obsessively “ahead of time”! They
pressure themselves just to be sure that they arrive at their
destination in advance. This can put them under constant stress that
undermines their nervous system. It can also cause them to be
intolerant and judgmental of others who are late. Once again, the
path of moderation is the healthiest route.
