PERSONALITY
PAST LIVES
RIGID, LIMITING VALUES
Scorpio North Node people came into this incarnation with rigid past-life
ideas about what they have to do to feel good about themselves—which is a
very heavy burden for them.
Most babies are born naked, but not these folks! It's as if Scorpio North
Node people were born wearing ten shirts, fourteen sweatshirts, twelve pairs
of pants, and a half-dozen overcoats. They bring a l their past-life burdens
with them, and this makes walking through life a lot more difficult than it
needs to be. Their primary cha lenge in this lifetime is to let go. Otherwise,
too many material possessions, unreasonable attachment to past-life values
("the way things ought to be"), and reluctance to relate with others may
cause these folks to stagnate.
They need to be open to life's energy and listen to others' ideas. When
someone says: "Look—that overcoat isn't attractive. It would be much bet
ter to take it off and wear the one underneath," their first instinct is to hold
on to what they've got. But if they listen and discard that overcoat (the old
value), they feel much lighter. If they look at a value and their energy level
starts going down, that is a value they need to release.
For example, if these folks hold a value requiring that every morning they
get up, light a candle, and touch each corner of the bedroom before starting
their day, the ritual can bog them down. Their past-life ideas of how things

Astrology for the Soul
should be may keep them "stuck." But they are learning to recognize that
these values are no longer accurate and are actually draining their energy.
They can do two things to help themselves let go: First, they need to re
evaluate the values and ideals that are holding them back—values regarding
work, religion, relationships, self-worth, ethics, creativity, family, goals, and
so on—about what people have to do in order to be "okay." When they
think: "I need to do this to be okay," if they feel a sense of heaviness around
it, they know they can release that idea and feel lighter. Second, they need
to become more interested in other people's values. They need to truly
listen to what others think is important, since other people can offer valuable
perspectives that energize the Scorpio North Node person and lighten his or
her load.
Scorpio North Node people also benefit by helping others attain their
goals, because this process shows what the other person thinks is important
about them. In this lifetime, others often have a clearer sense of these folks'
value than do Scorpio North Node people themselves. This is because Scor
pio North Nodes' job is to help others build tangible results, and others
know what they need from the Scorpio North Node person in order to do
that.
As they empower other people and help them manifest their dreams,
others reciprocate by feeding these folks the energy that lets them change
and grow. They need to alow other people and other people's values to help
them expand beyond the confines of their limited world into the vitality of
the present.
Scorpio North Node people can even become attached to spiritual values
in a way that leads to contraction rather than expansion. For example, let's
say the native values honesty, integrity, and loyalty. These values are always
correct when practiced in the here and now. But if Scorpio North Node
people remain in a job for twenty years when, after five years, it severely
suppresses their life force, they are not being loyal to themselves. Even their
spiritual values need to be translated into the moment. What is loyalty?
Loyalty means being true to the deepest part of oneself, and that may
change as life progresses.

It wi l also be useful for these folks not to become single-minded and overly
focused. Once they define their goal, they need to deliberately approach the
project or task by expanding their view. When they allow other people and
other creative styles to participate, the endeavor is more fascinating and fun.
Then the purpose becomes enjoying the close relationships of bonding with
others to reach a common goal. This helps Scorpio North Node people put
the emphasis on the people involved, rather than the task.
If they don't deliberately experiment with keeping their mind expanded,
they may get so locked into seeing only "one way" of doing things that they
create a compulsive energy around having things go a certain way. They
suffer more than anyone, as it leads to immense amounts of overwork on
their part.
The key is to become aware of their "tunnel vision" mode. Once they
realize what they are doing, they can stop, take a deep breath, expand their
thinking, and see that maybe getting their way isn't so important after all.
To gain mastery over this "tunnel vision" tendency takes a great deal of
effort on their part. It really is difficult for them to move out of that
emotional space—trying to prove that their way is right—to a space where
,they can listen. It's a new habit; but once they begin really focusing on the
other person's motives, needs, and desires, they have more talent than any
other nodal group in combining with the other to create more power and
vitality for both.
SENSUALITY
Scorpio North Node people have had many past-life experiences of comfort
and pleasure; they are no strangers to the sensual side of life. Actua ly, this
past-life tendency can lead to overindulgence in food, drink, and accumula
tion. Because of their instinctive attunement to the sensual, they think that
if something feels good it will keep feeling good as long as they repeat it.
But in this incarnation, that idea doesn't work. For these folks, repetition of
pleasure leads to the burden of accumulation—whether possessions, pounds
of flesh, work habits, or stagnation.
For example, if they like soft-shelled crabs, they can eat them without
limit. Or if it's a good wine or bourbon, they could drink it forever. Ultimately, the only way to rein in their senses is to eliminate excess and recognize that the long-term consequences are not worth the momentary joy. There's no middle ground for these folks—it's a matter of totally giving up things that hold them back and not indulging anymore. Their sensual and physical pleasures need to be mitigated by self-discipline in order for them to attain self-empowerment.
Sometimes it takes an external crisis to prompt them to change excessive
habits. For example, if they have a health scare involving their heart, they
may instantly switch gears to a healthy diet. Then they are in a new rut—
but one that is beneficial.
These folks derive a lot of genuine pleasure from a l their physical senses:
touching, tasting, smelling—they were born with an attunement to Mother
Nature, and the physical realms yield a great deal of nurturing for them.
That's why they often enjoy gardening: They like working with their hands
and gain satisfaction from relating to the earth. They gain a sense of calm
ness and joy when they' are in touch with the energy of nature rather than
their mental pictures of how things ought to be growing. When they become
aware of what each plant needs in order to thrive, and provide it, it teaches
them the value of tuning in to an energy outside themselves to determine
individual needs.
"MY WAY: THE HARD WAY"
SELF-RELIANT
Scorpio North Node people were hard workers in past lives: farmers, land
holders, and builders. These were lifetimes where survival depended on their
self-sufficiency--forging their own way and building what they thought was
valuable. They earned their way through their own efforts; possessions and
accumulation of wealth were the prizes that validated their worth.
These folks were master builders. Thus, in this life they approach every
thing with the mindset of a builder—slow and steady, not skipping any
steps. They have an attachment to pride in their work, to thoroughness and
doing things "their way, the hard way" to be sure the results are exactly
what they want. Although this approach worked well in past lives, in this
lifetime it bogs them down and slows their progress to the extent that they
often give up—the task becomes too much for them.
