Astrology and Inspirational Material for Happiness: December 2013

nce in your childhood or taking the karmic astrology point of view, in past lifetimes, your life was calm and peaceful, steady, stable and comfortable. Building was the most important thing for you, step by step, slowly, to achieve what you wanted.

Everyday a predictable small routine with food, comfort, peace, money and savings, working diligently for the things you want to have and buy as a certainty. That`s your South Node in Taurus whispering.

Now, those with North Node in Scorpio have a upheaval in their lives. Working hard for material rewards doesn't bring the comfort and fulfillment you expected, peace brings stagnation and deepness, passion and shadows involve your life and calls you to their embrace. I have the opposite North Node, in Taurus, and I feel the past of South Node in Scorpio, making me understand what those with North Node in Scorpio subconsciously yearn for. All the intensity, passion, seduction, mystery and dangerous life you could get without killing (literally) yourself in the process. Life can't be stagnant anymore! You need a passion, something to give your all to, just watch out about entering into dangerous obssessions. You can always bring the positive into your life, even with this North Node, I believe.

You can make wonders through healing other people, giving your all to the relationship, bonding and merging with passion and intensity, but this doesn't deplete you as it does most people (specially as with those with NN in Taurus), it can actually bring you satisfaction.

It must be a hard North Node to have, since your transition is from the known comfortable routine and rooted habits to the unknown deep waters of Scorpio. Is not an easy road, but probably as you cross those waters, or even better, dive into it with confidence and courage, you will feel full of power and holding a knowledge that many try to hide from themselves.

Psychoanalysis and psychology might catch your attention very strongly and it can be a good way to channel your intensity without getting burned in the process, but merely transformed into a new stronger more powerful version of yourself (after all, what doesnt kill you make you stronger, goes the famous saying).Self or guided soul analysis can easy the transition and maybe even become a profession. Because nothing is just a hobby/pastime anymore, everything needs to be done with energy and boundless enthusiasm, like if lives depended on it. That gives you courage and something people with this node may need to learn how to deal with and appreciate: strong, deep and complex emotions.

Another topic that might help you in your destination, as karma calls you, is the occult. From astrology itself to tarot, mystical and taboo subjects, rituals, magic. The unknown is your destination.

Maybe that's why this node is so associated with death and darkness. What is more unknown than them? What is more feared than the unknown? This path will require great courage, bravery and a fearless heart, but will turn you into a phoenix, re-birthing stronger every time you confront your fears and darkness, instead of distracting yourself with the same daily routine.

Prepare yourself also for rocky relationships, with lots of one way giving and taking. You might marry someone with money, that gives you everything you need and more, but that demands unconditional attention and submission to their values and beliefs. Or you might be, on the other side, the master of the relationship, being there for your partner or family as a rock, supporting them as the provider and leader, but craving their love and acceptance as the way to be fulfilled and happy. Working undercover, using strategy and slyness to get what you want, indirectly, but not through sheer straightforward force (like Aries) or open direct stubbornness of Taurus, is also something that will help you through this life path. Now is the time to use your hidden works to get where you want, to be secretive about your plans and make them see the light of the day almost mysteriously, like a magic trick to those that didn't predict what you had as goal.

The Phoenix: the mythical bird who is reborn from the ashes, transformed (no longer himself) by the fire.

Again this is not an easy path, but it can be one of noble and powerful transformation and healing of yourself and the whole society as well. Embrace your inner chaos and accept that change is a constant in the Universe and you will learn how to be reborn every day stronger as the Phoenix of the astrological signs, transforming into a fearful force of nature yourself.

So here are some ideas for people that came to their present life in Earth with the North Node in Scorpio challenge:

- Making constructive changes happen

- Staying strong and surviving

- Appreciating high adrenaline situations

of a burden to hold (or simply not useful to your development)
