They need to becometheir ownbestfriendandencourage themselvestogoafterthose things that will bringthemhappiness. Thetrapthey need toavoidisan 25 unendingsearch for knowledge("If I eenoughknowledge, I willfeelconfidentto take creative action"). They willneverfeelthey have enough knowledge to ensure successful creative 'on,sothey continueto"go with theflow," waitingfor happinessto find m.Thebottom lineis that atsome point they must take the risk and creatingtheirownhappiness.The ironyis that once they take action begincreatinghappiness, theknowledge they need to succeedwill come tothemeffortlessly. 194 30 AstrologyfortheSoul WHATTHESEPEOPLEREALLY WANT WhatLeo North Nodepeople really wantis to receivelove.

Theyareaccustomedto linking theircreative energyto the dreams and aspirationsofothers,withouttaking into account 55 theirown n ~ and desires. Thus,inpastlives they lost touch with the vitalenergyof theirinner child.Inthis lifethey have againsubconsciously chosen environmentsthat negatetheir innerchild, in order to work through thisissue and regain the connectionwiththeir vitalenergy.Theymayb ebornintoa violent house holdwhereobjective observationof a parent's behavioris a mattetofsuryival.Orthey may be born into an alcoholic household in which the emotionalresponsesofone or 60 both parents are unpredictable,and since theyarenot able to trust theircaretakers, theonly safe routeisto suppress theirfeelings.Orperhaps thelossof a parent at anearlyagegave them an addedsenseof responsibiliry,and they felt it wasn't okayfor themto "just be a kid." These folks have hadso many pastlivesof being objective and watching fromascientific pointof view that in this lifetime they have areal fearof gettinginvolved. They'reafraidof losing their 65 objectivity;subconsciously theyfeelit's theonly thing thathas kept themsafe in thepast. But this lifetimeisabout becoming involvedand learning howtoplay! They've takentheStuffy, scientific approach for too manyincarnations -they have notbeenhaving funon thisplanet -so thistime they need togo in the directionofenjoyingthemselves. When they arearound children, their own innerchildis reflected backto them. When theysee children playing and simplybeing themselves, it 70 inspiresthese natives to playand become in-

196 Astrologyfor theSoul valved in life. And thisis theirchallenge -to stepback into thecenter life'svitality. Owing to theirp a s t ~ l i f escientificorientation,Leo North Nodepeople enter intothis incarnation witha "laboratoryobjectiviry"---continually ob- servingwithout seeking to change,orin any way interfere with,thedata; Thisallows them to be verydear and accurate about whatisgoingon. 75 However,ifthey becomeoverly identifiedwith the roleof "Important Observer" it canbecome anegotrip, where theystandbackandpass judgmentonothetpeople andfeelsuperior. Theymay take theapproach: "We'regoing tocut throughallthenon- senseandtake it like it is!"and then,when they see the lookontheother person'sface, theyfeelbadly. But their mindssay:"Well, Isaidit! I'llstand byit!"and they settleintothe rigidityof their position.However,inthis lifetimethese folks have the 80 challengeofpointingout to otherswhatis goingonin positiveways thatmake them laughand/or helpthemchange theirperspective and lighten their burdens.This timeL e o NorthNode people need tonot only 1 ~ ~ what's goingonbutactivelyparticipatein transforming "what is" intosomething positive forall concerned,including themselves.In thisincarnation, their lifepurposeis tolearn how togetwhat 85 theywant,not through detachmentbutthrough intense involvement. OBSERVATIONVERSUSACTION LeoNorthNode people sometimesfeelasif they are being sweptupin otherpeople's dramas andthey themselvesare just sitting back-power J e s ~ e n thoughthey can dearly seethe writingon the wall. Theythink thatother peoplecan adjust their courseof action, "sail their boatinto l h ~ wind,"changedirection and win frompreva ilingconditions. 90 ButLeo NorthNodepeople oftenfeelasif they watchthe windchange andare awareofthe waves.butcan't seem tohook up withthe energy andtake advantageofthesituation. These folks get "stuck"onone sideof thecreative pendulum. Tosuccess fullymanifesta dream. theprocess involves bothobservation andaction. Sometimesit's necessary topull hardon the ropestophysicallymaneuver theboat, regainequilibriumasthe boat shifts.move heavy objectsinto 95 balancedpositions in readiness for0 the newdirection and "batten downthe North Node inLEO 221 ROMANCE Romanceisveryimportant and healthy for thesefolks. However, they can't expectanyone personto supply the amountof stimulation they need to keeptheirvitality and joyalive. Itis up to themto cultivate a varietyof creativeinterestsand projects thatc a n energize them and keep them happy. Workingwithchildren can supply this stimulation,as 100 can acting, painting, sculpture,music,or anything elsecreative and fun. Their greatest joycomes withtheprocessoffullcreativeinvolvement-whether through a project or aloveaffair! Owingtoso many past incarnationsofo b j e t i v i t yand observation.Leo NonhNodepeople are very awareof what brings themjoy and howthey resonateinwardly to the people whocross their path.They are instantly awareoftrue romantic connections.Whentheymeet someoneofdeep affinity,their heartstrings 105 areactivated-theycan almostfeel it physically; there'snothinking about it. Usually theyare attracted to

aspecial vitality in aperson-acertain life spark. Because they havethe giftofinstandy recog nizingtrue romantic affinity, they assumet hat others havet he same gift ... but thisisnot thecase. Usually,when theyfeel a tugging in their heart they looktoseeif the otherpersonfeels thesame-butif it wasn't mutual, these folks wouldn't feelit.Generally,the other personisless awareof the intensityof 110 the attractionandmay initiallyseemless interested.IfLeoNorth Nodesgive up toosoon,before theother person has had time to become awareof the connection,both people lose.Thus, these folks need to trust theirgiftof accuraterecognitionof a trueloveconnection, and slow down longenough togivetheother person time to recognize the depthof the connection. Theirbestbetis to approach the other personona nonthreatening friend shipbasisand spendtime establishing a genuine 115 relationship. Thesepeople loveromance andactually need it toactivate their vitality andcreativity.Theyknow how to play the game,howtoget a romance startedand how to stimulate passionand make it fun.The problemis that afterthe romance has been going for a while, they mayrunoutofsteam. Theygrowtiredof always being the one to spark the fireand bringout the bestintheother person.Theyare sobusy acknowledging theother person's specialnessthatthey forget to 120 create situationsin which their own special222 AstrologyfortheSoul nesscan beacknowledged.They keeptheother personat"centerstage"and neglect theirown needs for creative expression and attention. In their romances, these folks must take responsibility for c r ~ t i n g rela tionships in whichthey notonly giveloveandhonor thespecialnessofthe other person,but in which theyarealso 125 honoredandloved,sothattheflow goesboth ways.If they neglect toexpress theirown needs,theyinadver tentlycreate an imbalance.When theyrealize thatthe relationshiprevolves totallyaroundtheotherperson, withno energycoming back,theylose interest. Worse yet, they maycreate a monsteroutofthe personthey initially admired,the other person may devdop a"divine 130 right"attitude anda puffed-upego! For example,I had a client with this nodal position who wentoutofher way to makeher boyfriendhappy---dioingthe things he liked, havinglittle surprisesfor him,and so on. Sheencouraged him to lether know whathe needed ina relationshipand then yielded herown identityto accommodate his needs.Hewastotally in love with her,butshe noticedshe was begin ning to lose interest because theenergy wasn't"coming back." Ratherthan detaching from 135 the relationship (a normaltendency for these folks),she decided to take the initiativeand lethim know whatshe neededtobe happy. Shehad aneed for romance,soshebought him abookof "101waysto sayI loveyou." Shelet him knowthat romantic cardsandflowerswere importantto her to keep the love energy going.She told him howtoreactif shegotin abad mood:"just make me laughand I'llpop rightoutof it." She 140 practicallygave himan instructionmanual fot how to keep her happy. Shewason track, taking

astraightforward approach tocreate the happiness sheneeded.Inthis ~ . however, her boyfrienddidn't"getit"andshe ultimately left the relationship. Butsince she had"done herpart,"itwas thefirst relationshipshe ever left whereshe feltcompleted with it. MAKINGCHOICES LeoNorthNodepeople thinkthat half theprocessof having a happy marriageischoosingthe"right 145 mate."Theonly problem isthattheytryto choose their mate mentally rather than trusting theenergy connectionthey feelwithanother person.Thiscan postpone their havingany marriage,or NorthNodeinLEO 223 leavethemstranded.inanunhappymarriage because they overrodewhat theirheartssaidand chose with theirheads.They say tothemselves: "This personhasa goodsocial background,they're financially secure,they have thequalitiesI wouldliketo havein amale, they are 150 attractive,they will makea good father/mother, they are aboutthe right age/height/weight; generallythey'makesense.'''And that'sit-theyget: married.Yet when theymakepersonal relationshipchoicesbased on mental"logic," their choicesrarelymakethem happyin the long run. Laterinlifethesefolksaregenerallymore open to a relationshipbasedon thehappinesstheyfeelonacons istentbasiswith theotherperson.When they endsuch arelationship,the otherperson may be 155 verydifferent from whattheythoughtthey wanted; yet thatis theperson whomakestheir heart singwith joy. The romanticinteraction that LeoNorthNodepeopleseekin r e l a t i o n ~ relationshipsisperpetuallyavailabletothem whenthey arelinkedwith aperson whotrulyinspires their crea tive fire ona vital,authenticm i n d ~ b a s e d ) level.Insucha relationship,where thebody helps deci detheattraction, theyare expertsatkeepingthe romancealive-theyneed this tofeelin volvedwith 160 lifeina happyway. On a deeplevel they know whatismakingthem happyand what isnot, butthey have to be willingto letgoof their imageof what will make them happyandbeco m emoreopento whatthey areactuallyexperiencing.When theytaketherisk and pursue what genuinelymakesthem happy, theymay feela bitinsecureat firstif peopleseem to resist. But o r h ~ r s will eventually seethe wisdom andcomeintoalignm ent withtheir choices. FRIENDSHIP LeoNorthNode peoplehave had 165 manypastlifetimesin whichfriendship wasa major factor.Intheserelationships, mutual dependencies wereinad- vertentlycreated.In the processof becomingso identified with theirfriends, these folkslost touch with theirownindividuality. Inthis incarnation, whentheyfirst look for supportfrom their peers withsimilarinterests,it's notthere. Thisisbecausethey needto learnnottorelyon their friendships attheexpenseof theirown individualityandcreativity. While 170 thesefolksarelearningtobethemselves,friends can actuallybe a 224 Astrologyfor theSoul detriment rather thanan asset. Forexample,if they are havingaproblemin a loveaffairand ask a friendfor advice,often the friend willsuggesttheygo in a directiont hat doesn'twork out.It'snotthat the friend wantsthemto beunhappy;it's just that others often givenonobjective advice: arecreaction ofhowtheywould handle the situation, andnot necessarily 175 whatisbestfor theLeoNorthNode person.These folksare learningnot to depend onthe

adviceofothers.They themselves are the masterstrategists; whenthey follow theirown instincts,they always win. Whenthesefolks relyonfriends andtheir friends let themdown, orthey feel taken advantage of, the universeissaying:"Youcan'tdothat, you're notgoingto compromiseyourself You're goingto start 180 beingwhoyou reallyare!"Theyidentify so closelywith their friendsthat they givebeyond theboundariesof whatis appropriate in a friendship.Thentheyexpectthe otherpersonto give backto them equally; whenit doesn'twork thatway, they aredisappointed. They are learning the boundariesoffriendship;to givewhat theycan-without expectationofreturn andwithoutviolating their own essential strengthand energy.As they grow inthe 185 direction oftheir own individuality, chooseto expresstheir own creativity, andstand ontheir own, they willfind that more reliable friends are drawn tothem. Oneoftheir most important jobsis learning tocredit others withthe strength andpotencyto create victoriesintheir own lives.If theydothis, theywillnotfall into the trapof allowing others tobecome unnecessarily dependentonthem. Whenthey hang on to the ideathat others can't getby withoutthem, it's an egotrip. But when they validate the 190 individuality, strength, and confidenceofothers, they gain confidence intheir ownpotency to bean individualand follow theirowndreams-to be ledbythe littlechild withinthat likesto playand havea good time.They mustfollow and expressthatpartof themselves, regardlessof grouppressure orthe acceptanceoftheir peers. GOALS SELF-DETERMINATION Inthis lifetime,LeoNorthNode peoplearenotenacting someoneelse's dream.Theyare learning how tocreate 195 thei rown dream,and itissolelyup NorthNode inLE0 115 to them!It'snotthat they can'tenlistothers tohelp.. butnooneelseis goingtotakethehelm. Theyknow what'sgoing tohappen-they"seethe writing on thewall" andthinkothers seeittoo. But thisisnot the case.Oftenpeople are so involvedinthedramathatthey are unawareof the patternsthat cause unhappyoutcomes forthemselves and others.Butwhen these folks 200 take charge,itworks for everyone.Theyhave a specialtalent for seeingwhat's goingtohappenand translatingitintoconstructive leadership.Ratherthan sittingbackandallowing the potentially disastrous circumstancestheyfore seetocomeabout,theymust participate--usetheirinput to alterthe course ofeventstoachieve a morepositiveoutcome. SELF-ACCEPTANCE LeoNorthNode people arelearning self-acceptance:to accept and embraceth echildintheirown name. They arelearning to 205 acknowledgethat they, too,haveneedsandto recognize and pursue what makes them happy. Once theyacceptthemselvesbyacknowledging their wantsand needs,thenothers canacceptthem and helpthem getwhat theywant. Thesefolkstendtobe very hardon themselves, becauseeventhough theycanseewhat'sgoing to happen, theytend tofeeltotally unprepared whenitdoes. Theyneed to recognize that thisis normal.It'simpossible to bepreparedfora newsituation-that's where 210 excitement,joy, and thezest forlifecomefrom!That's how knowledgeisgained-from dealing with

circumstancesthat are totally unfamiliar!The bestopportunities for testing one'sstrength andingenuity arethe unfamiliar situationswe encounter alongourpath. ENLISTINGOTHERS OnceLeoNorth Node peoplehave established wherethey want to go,it's JUStaquestionof gettingthe folks around themto join theparty.The best betistobestraightforward in stating their direction, 215 sharing the basisfrom whichtheymade theirdecision andthen inviting othersto join them. For example:"Inthe latget schemeof things,thisis what Isee going on. Therefore,I havedecided togoin thisdirection. Now, given the circum226 AstrologyfortheSoul stances, do youfeel you would like to join me,ordo youfeel there'sanother directionyou wouldrathergoon yourown?" I hadaclient with thisnodal position whosejobwasto 220 bringhisindust- tryinto the computerage. Todo this,he hadto enlist thecooperationof theplant managers. So, hewent to each plant to convincethe managersthat theageof computerswas inevitableand therewas no choice but tocom puterize.They a g ~ intheory; but whenitcame to actually installingthe computersand changing procedures, the managers voicedall theirobjectionsand continuedtodo things in the oldway. Hemet oppositionand struggleat everyturn. Itwould 225 have been much simpler had hespentlesstime explainingand moretime asserting hiswill.Forexample:"I'ms u r e it'sdearto ~ e l ) ' Q n e thattheageof computersishere.Therefore, thisplant willbe fullycomput erizedbyJuneofncxt year. Nowwe are going to need plant managerswho can work with this.Do you think you will be able toadapt andlearnthe newsystems? Do you think youwillbe able tocome intoalignmentwith what we need soyou can continueon board 230 with us?"Then theplant managers'energy would havebeen geared in thedirectionof cooperation rather than opposition. FUTUREORIENTATION LeoNorthNode peoplehave aninnare capacitytorecognize thingsbefore they happen:to appreciatean art form before othersseeit's value, toseereal estate opportunities before the idea occursto others,to notice trendsbefore they becomepopular.Their challengeis to takeadvantageof the opportuni tiestheysee.Thisiswhy 235 theyseemto have"goodtiming"-theyseehow thingswill unfold,and when they areon"on track"they putthemselvesin a positionto benefitas the situation develops. However, their tendency to withdraw can tempt them toresistusing their potential.An opportunity may inspire theirenthusiasm,but theymay pull back because they cansee the "hype"orthinkthe people involvedhave 240 lessthan noble morives.Whatthey are learning torecognizeis thattheir unique capacity toseethe"game"gives them an edge in winningit! And becauseoftheir ethical, clear approach, their participation can improve the qualityofthe game for everyone. - NorthNodeinLEO 1I7 Thisis a leadership lifetime for these folks.Their jobis to become involvedand through healthy leadership prevent the injusticesthat would otherwise occur. 245 Theyconsider asituation andsay:"Thisishowthe game works.IfIplay, theyare going totryto do this ...

and this ... and this,"LeoNorthNodes are learningtoexercise their strengthandrealize that when theysee these things coming,they canintercede and change the coursebeforeit overtakesthem. USINGCREATIVEENERGY ENERGYTRANSMISSIONTHOUCHACTING LeoNorthNodepeopleare natural actorsandactresses. Becausetheydo nothavea strong senseof 250 individuality,they donot form a strong ego attachmentto--oridentificationwith-any particular role. Their natural objectivityallows them to notice all salientdetailsof the characterthey are playing;theycanget into the roleand become fully involved. Whetheras a careerorahobby, actingis definitely a healthy releaseforthese folksand a moving,enriching experience fortheir audiences. Anykindof performingis wonderful forLeo North Node people, They areborn entertainers.When 255 theyare onstage their whole being lights up. Theylovetheenergy that comes from makingotherpeople happy;indeed, that'swhat they're here to do in thislifetime-togive love tootherson a personallevel. Because the relationshipbetweenentertainer andaudienceis personal,they thrivein this arena. Aslongas they find a waytobe at "centerstage," the situation will work foreveryoneinvolvedYet they often resistit because they are afraidof looking foolish,orof what their peers will think. T h ~ folks 260 havehad lots ofpast lifetimes watchingother peopletake center stage; in this lifetime theyfearbeingsuccessful because they haven't doneit themselves.Yetsome onehastohethe person in the spotlight,receiving the applause, and when theydo it everyonehasa goodtime. Thisis their lifetime to take center stage b e c a u s ~ theirego needsdevelopment--they needthatenergytob a l ~ ancethem, and theyare actually hindering their developmentif theydon't getoutthereand do it, 265 LeoNorthNodepeople have the capacity to sway an audiencebyvirtue ofthe emotionsthey transmit. They canfeelthe audience'senergy andcan 228 AstrologyfortheSoul make the audiencefeeltheir own energy. Whateverisin their heart,they canprojectoutward.They can controlthe audience's emotionsandtake them ina new direction,almost physically feeling theenergymoveasif ~ audience'semotions were tiedto their own.

Thesefolks are tremendouslyenergizedbythepro cess.Although theymayfeel drainedafterwards, theywillalsofeelalive! Whentheygive theseemotional experiencesto others,both sidesfedthe vitalityand healing powerof the connection,and everyone wins. Whenthey apply this talent to a smallerarena-witha childor apan net- theycan be equallysuccessful.Even indaily 275 life,LeoNorthNode people have thecapacity to playouta role thatcheers others andlightens theirloads throughinspiration orhumor.Yet sometimestheyundervalue theirgifts.They maythinkit's more important to be the personwritingthe songs--butitis the singer who choosesthe songs anddirectlyaffectsthe audience,and they love doingit!When they inspire positive energyand enthusiasm in others,they become excited andinvolved themselves. 280 HIGHERCONSCIOUSNESS:THEANGELCONNECTION LeoNorthNode people have the giftofb

e i n gin touch with theirAngels-a levelofconsciousnessthat shows thenext step increating theirdream. Suddenly,ideas occurto them about what their future couldbe andwhat theycouldc r e a t ~ b e c a u s ethese folks havea clear,objective viewofthe future and can seethings inadvance:.They mustchoose one thingthey would like to doand then make the decision toactivelycreateit. 285 Assoonasthey make that decision, ahostof ideas occurs tothemabout how tosuccessfully create their dream.Theproper sequence seems tospon taneouslyappear;as they followone step, the nextstep unfolds.The timing isabsolutelymiraculous.As theytake each step,doors openand theright opportunitiesfor success arepresented to them.But it's up to themto respond to thisangelic help bytaking each step. Theprocessisa lot likesurfing.Thesurfer begins in a calm placewith broad 290 horizons.Then a large wavebegins to formaround him.He becomes awareofthe wave only moments before he must decide whetherornotto ride it.If hemakes the decision in rime andcatches the right wave,hehas a NorthNodeinLEO 229 heckofa rideand a whole lotof fun!If he catches thewrong wave, he may 295 nothaveassmootha ridebut he still finds himself intensely involvedand havinganadventure. However,if hesitson his surfboard alldaylong and nevercatches any waves,he has asafebut boring time filledwith memories ofmissedopportunities. LeoNorth Node people have dear vision,but it's upto themto take the chanceandcatch the wave.Do they havethe talentand skilltosuccessfully risetotheoccasion? They'll never know unless they take the risk,andthen theywillfindthey have 300 creative talents thatthey neverevensuspected talentsthat ariseonly whenthey ride the wave.Theymustput themselvesin anintensesituationof risk, excitement,or romance to really express their creativetalents.That'swhentheyfeel most alive. Buteveniftheycatch everywave,Leo North Node people need a princi pleoridealtolivebythal extends beyond their personallife. They need a Starttofollow-aspirimal pledge that will empower them and lead them throughthe creative process 305 totheir goal. This idealor value needs to be a moderatingprinciple inall their actions. For example, it couldbe the c o m ~ mitmentto"followtheir bliss" regardlessoffearor insecurity,It could involvespeakingtheir truth regardlessof others'reactions,or furthering causessuchashuman rights, world peace, or healingthe environmem, Theircorrect"goal"will not engenderfeelingsof sadness or t i g h t ~ l i p p e d perseverance;itwillbeemotionally uplifting.By aligningthemselveswith a 310 causethat extends beyond the personal arena, they become bigger thanthe personalarenaand are willing to takerisks and makereal changes. LeoNorth Node people have an incredibleability to createthrough the poweroftheirimaginations-theiruseof visualization and theirconnection withAngels.Theycan attract the people andsituations they wantsimply throughthe powerof theirwishes.Ifthey truly make up their minds, whatevertheyaskof the universe(if itis in alignment 315 with theirgood) will cometothem.Suddenly theirliveswillshift-new people andsituations

willappearto lure them in a different direction thatwill bring about the fulfillmentoftheir wishes. Theirjobis to accept the new opportunities presented. Problemsarise when they try to a ~ a l y z e andjudge these opportu nities-thenthey miss their timing. T h ~ are learningtogo in the direction of their dreams:totaketherisksand put forth thecreative energy to make it 320 happen,eveniftheydon'tknow the route aheadof time. 230 Astrology for the Soul LeoNorthNode peoplesimply n ~ d tokeep their minds on thegoaland dowhatever it takes to push past the "second force" resistance(seethe previous discussion under Personality) thatispartof the creative p ~ Inertiais self-perpetuating; in creating somethingnew 325 andvital,inertia becomes resistance.Sometimesittakes incredible intensity tobreakthrough the ~ c o n d forceand rise above the old self-perpetuating patterns.Ittakes will,discipline, and a firm intention to create the newregardlessofhow much energyis required.Going through the resistancetocreatea new reality empowersLeo NorthNode people to truly appreciate thedreamthey manifest. Creatingthe realizationof adream heldin the heartisnevereasy.Infact, that'swhy we havedreams-theyare 330 the"carrots" that lureus p ~ t of' limitationsand cause us to grow beyond whowe thoughtwewere.When weriseoutof the poolofcomplacency andego to follow thepathto fulfillmentof the unique dream inour heart, we grow andbecomefree. Ultimately, itisfreedomand vitality thatthese people want.Theactivepath tocreativelypursuing their dreams will takethem there. VITALITY LeoNorthNode people long to 335 reconnect withthe joy and vitality oftheir inner life force.They desire an experience that will make themfeelalive,so theuniverse responds byofferingthem asituationthat can stimulateand restore their life force.If they accept the opportunity and move throughit, muchgrowth, aliveness, and joy will begained along the way.Theyinstinct tivel) reach for these vital experiences,but often their mind s.tepsinand invahdates their creative impulses. In this lifetime, theirjobisnot tolisten to theirmindbut 340 to followthe excitementoftheir innerchild. MAKINGDECISIONS These folks oftenexperience asharp discrepancy betweenwhat theirknowl edgebase tellsthem they shoulddo, and what their hearttells themthey should do.The choice may boil down tocreative passion versussafety-but when theychoose creative passion, they win, and when they choosesafety, 345 NorthNode inLEO 131 theylose.Ifthey look back over past experiences,they can see howit has workedoutin their lives.Thisis because their"knowing" isactually a logicalprojectionof the future based on their pastexperiences. However, theyhaveaccess to many other possible futures,ifthey take responsibility forchanging the directionof the present. LeoNorthNodepeople shouldask themselvesif making decisions based onwhatthey"know"isleadingto increased---or decreased-feelingsof 350 aliveness.Iffollowinga path thatthey"know" tobe thecorrect one d i m i n ~ ishestheir

personalvitality, they need to reconsider before they waste years ona paththeywill later regret.They need toacknowledgeand acton the truthfulfeedbackthey receivefrom their own stateofbeing. This means trustingthat their passionisstrong enough to pull them through, toensure theirsurvival,tofeedthem the energy required to build a new life. Once I lived next door to a 355 retirement home and Iasked manysenior citizensabouttheir lives. Lookingback, whatwas important to them?What didtheywish they had done differently? Althoughtheygave different an swersonmany things, everyoneof them told me thatthey never regretted thethingstheyhad tried thatended up being mistakes; what they regretted werethethings they hadwanted to doand notdonethechances they hadn'ttaken.LeoNorth Node people are learning to take thosechances. 360 Thisisnottosaythat they should handle theirlives inan irresponsible way.Theycan make decisions to follow their vitality, and thenenact those decisionsin an intelligent way that takes other people into account. For example,tostay ina destructive,abusive marriage"for thesakeof the children" would not be wise.Itwouldbegiving the children the message:"I canendure and suffer.It's okayto be unhappy inlife," However, it would beprudentto handle the departure fromthe marriagein a responsibleway 365 (forexample,telling the children in advancethat there are problems in the marriage,communicatingwhatis goingon) sothat the children aren'tgiven alast-minute shock.LeoNorthNodepeople must carryout their plans in a creative,responsibleway thattakesothers' feelings into account. 131 AstrologyfortheSoul TAKINGACTION Sometimesthe greatestchall enge for LeoNorthNode 370 peopleinvolvestak- ingactionsthatmakethem happy.Theyare so accustomedto doingthings for everyoneelsethattheytendtoputthe joyous child within themselveson the backburner.In this lifethey arelearningtodowhatthey needtodofor themselves. Theironyisthat afterthese folks takeactionon theirown,someone oftenshowsupto help.If theyhold back andwait, fearingto act untilthey haveeverythingthey need,itwill never happen.Theaction they 375 takemay nOtmakesensetoothers.butiftheyfeel ahappiness intheirheartsaround it,their job istodoit withor without thesupportofothers. ForLeoNorthNodepeople, alltherealknowledge accumulatedduring pastlives wasgathered into their innerchild,andthatiswhy followingthe childwithin makes their liveswork in joyousways. Conversely,whenthey look for" knowledge" tobesure they'regoingto be"safe," theynever summonenoughenergyandtheopportunitiespassthem 380 by.Theinner childisthe senseofhaving fun,thesenseof play,of takingarisk anddoing somethingthatmakesthemhappy.
