[QUOTE]North Node in Scorpio and the 8th house

Attributes to develop – work in these areas can help uncover hidden gifts and talents:
Self-discipline
Choosing constructive change
Releasing whatever causes stagnation and low energy
Eliminating non-usefull possessions
Enjoying things without having to own them
Accepting support from others (ideas, money, opportunities)
Enjoying high-risk situations that make one feel alive
Awareness of others’ psychology (their desires, wants, needs, and motives)
Openness to partnering, supporting, and merging power with others

Tendencies to leave behind – working to reduce the influence of these tendencies can help make life easier and more enjoyable:
Attachment to comfort and the status quo
Possessiveness
Overconcern with accumulation and ownership
Questioning past decisions
Stubbornness
Getting bogged down in sensual appetites
Repeatedly doing things one way (the hard way) even though another way is easier
Resistance to change and others’ input

Scorpio North Node’s Achilles’ heel is comfort (“The goal of life is to be comfortable; I need lots of possessions to survive”), which can lead them into the trap of an unending search for accumulation (“When I finally have enough money and possessions, I will feel good about myself and can relate to others”). This thinking leads to stagnation on all levels: material, physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. Life experience has shown that Scorpio North Nodes never get enough “stuff” to feel comfortable in making the changes that will add vitality to their life. Scorpio North Node people need to be willing to risk losing their current level of comfort to gain a higher state of power and vitality.

The bottom line is that they will never have enough money and personal property to think they can afford to bond with another and feel that there is enough to take care of all their needs. At some point they simply have to let go of self-concern and put their full power into the partnership. The irony is that when they finally bond with another, the mutually empowering relationship can make them rich!
