From “Astrology for the Soul” by Jan Spiller

quote:

---

North Node in Taurus and the 2nd house

Attributes to develop – work in these areas can help incover hidden gifts and talents:
Loyalty
Awareness of boundaries
Taking things one step at a time
A sense of self-worth
Awareness of personal values
Patience
Honoring expressed needs of self and others
Enjoying the five physical senses
Gratitude
Awareness of nurturing from Mother Earth
Forgiveness
Persistence

Tendencies to leave behind – working to reduce the influence of these tendencies can help make life easier and more enjoyable:
Attraction to crisis situations
Overconcern with other people’s business
Impatience
Inappropropriate intensity
Judgmental tendencies
Preoccupation with the psychological motivations of others
Resistance to cooperating with what others want
Overreacting
Destroying something in order to eliminate one part
Obsessive-compulsive tendencies

The Achilles’ heel Taurus North Node people need to be aware of is seeking self-worth through others (“I can only feel okay about myself through the validation of others”), which can lead them into the trap of an unending search for a soul mate (“If I have this one special person’s energy, I’ll feel complete”). In truth, Taurus North Node people can only achieve a sense of completeness within themselves – it will never come as the by-product of a relationship, even with a soul mate. No matter how much support and validation they get from others, they always think they need more. In fact, for them, others’ validation is a false barometer of whether they are on the right track. Living according to standards they know are right for them, regardless of what others think, will help them develop a sense of self-worth.

The bottom line is that at some point they must stop being enmeshed with others and involved in others’ business, and simply walk their own path instead. The irony is that when they begin to do this, others will support them, both financially and on an energy level.

Hmmm, I can think of one reason -- cell phone bills for the services of Dr Zala?!?!?
