ACHILLES’ HEEL/TRAP TO AVOID/THE BOTTOM LINE
The Achilles’ heel Capricorn North Node people need to be
aware of is dependence. The desire to be taken care of (“If there’s
no one to take care of me, I won’t survive”) can lead them into the
trap of an unending search for security (“If I can just get a strong
enough foundation under me, I’ll have the energy I need to take
charge of my life”). They develop emotional dependencies on
others, which force people into becoming a basis for their security.
But it’s a bottomless pit: They can never get enough reassurance to
feel safe, so they never gain the security they think they need to be
capable adults and take charge of their lives.
The bottom line is that at some point they simply have to be
willing to run the risk, take charge, and assume full responsibility
for the consequences. When Capricorn North Node people
recognize a goal that’s truly important to them and live by it, they
gain the self-respect and assurance they need to live responsibly.
The irony is that once they take charge, they feel secure and in
control of their own destiny.
WHAT THESE PEOPLE REALLY WANT
What these people really want is an environment in which to
feel safe, protected, cared for, and doted on—a place where they
feel they truly belong. To achieve this, they must be willing to let go
of the idea that one special person—or group of people—is going to
provide it just because they think they need it. Instead, Capricorn
North Nodes must take charge of creating what they need for
themselves. By pursuing a goal that energizes them, or by finding
an ideal or set of principles that builds their self-respect, they will
develop feelings of belonging in whatever circumstances they find
themselves.
Capricorn North Node people need to find a focus beyond their
scattered emotional needs and those of people around them. When
they bring themselves into alignment with a higher principle or
spiritual belief, they feel protected and nurtured.
TALENTS/PROFESSION
These people excel at being the “boss,” so management, public
speaking, politics, and entrepreneurship are good choices for them.
Othets are willing to cooperate with their goals, since they approach
people under their authority with sensitivity. To achieve success in
any area, these folks need to be “in charge” of their own piece of
the puzzle.
Additionally, Capricorn North Node people have finely honed
instincts for empathy. They are always aware of the feelings of
others, and when they use this ability in a management situation
their sensitivity encourages people to assist them with goodwill and
enthusiasm. However, if they involve themselves in professions that
stress nurturing as the end result, they often become enmeshed in
feelings of helplessness, unable to get “on top” of the situation.
They are better off in goal-oriented professions or positions that
enable them to use their sensitivity to lovingly organize others to
work toward a specific goal.
