Virgo Sign North Node – Your Soul’s Mission and Path to Fulfillment!
By Julia Simkin

The nodes (south and north node) are two points in an astrological chart that possess priceless information about one's karmic past and soul-destined future. Calculated by using the birth data of the individual, the nodes symbolize the unique life path that one is on and can answer many questions about his own, as well as his partner's, inner struggles and desires -- answers that can transform not only his relationship but his life.

Since there are twelve signs of the zodiac, there are also twelve unique nodal positions -- each pair of nodes (north and south) representing two opposite signs of the zodiac. For instance, a Virgo Sign North Node is paired with an Pisces Sign South Node because they are opposites. And because they are opposites, they create a clear picture of the dualistic struggle that resides within the Virgo north node/Pisces south node individual.
 
Often, the individual is unaware of the war taking place inside, a situation that could go on for years. As time passes he is dumfounded by his inability to progress in life - professionally, emotionally, and spiritually. He doesn't understand why he keeps repeating the same mistakes over and over again and continues to dwell on the past as he desperately dreams of the future.
 
All of us have our own set of visible (and invisible) struggles to work through -- obstacles that the Nodes of the Moon can help us isolate and resolve while simultaneously freeing us to move forward on our destined path.

We all know that knowledge is power...and that's why I offer a bit of it to you...to give you the strength and courage you need to not only live, but thrive.

This week I'd like to begin with a brief overview of the Virgo Sign North Node/Pisces Sign South Node position. 

To start, let's take a look at some keywords. These words describe the polarity between these two opposing signs and can offer you a glimpse of the soul journey that the individual with this nodal position is on.

Just remember that the south node represents the comfortable but not necessarily healthy habits within your personality - patterns that have accumulated over lifetimes that now need to be acknowledged and released. The north node, on the other hand, represents your soul's potential - the direction of the future...the behavioral habits that will lead you to greater happiness and the kind of life that you will find fulfilling.

Here are a few Pisces Sign South Node traits that should be put to rest, sort of speak, if the individual with this nodal position is to live an emotionally rich life:

Illusionary…codependent…escapist…addictive…introvert…impractical…sacrificing…wounded healer…fearful…martyristic…easily deceived.

Here are a few Virgo Sign North Node traits that the individual might at first find foreign but eventually will need to acquire if he is to connect to his true soul potential and live the life he was meant to live:

Ordered…conscientious…analytical….productive…discriminating…organized… industrious…health-aware…service-oriented…studious.

The journey from a Pisces Sign south node to a Virgo Sign north node will take some work. But then again, so does everything that’s worth doing. Obstacles are just strategically placed hurdles meant to show us our own inner strength and courage. Therefore, as long as the Virgo north node individual remembers never to lose sight of the ultimate goal, he should have no problem achieving the mission his soul prescribed just fro him.

The Virgo north node individual has three major obstacles to overcome in this lifetime – his boundless empathy of his own heart, his lack of self-confidence, and his tendency to daydream. Here is a soul that has spent lifetimes caring, helping, and sacrificing. And instead of being thanked, was used, abused, and persecuted.

Unfortunately, he comes into this lifetime still unable to separate real-life need from his imaginary fantasies. No matter how much he tries, he continues to fall for sad tales and is always ready to give up all in order to save another. This type of martyristic behavior might seem idealistic, but in reality, it is an internal weakness that simply drains his energy and makes him feel completely inadequate.
 
In the current incarnation, the Virgo sign north node soul must learn how to set boundaries in order to maintain his sanity. He must learn to separate real empathy from displaced sympathy and help only those who honestly need and deserve his kindness. He must learn to separate from daydreams and find a way to spiritually live in the now. And he should stop endlessly wishing for better times and work consistently to create them instead.

This lifetime offers him the opportunity to be a real practical healer – materializing the universal consciousness he carries within. But in order to do that, he has to learn discipline and strive for personal perfection. He would be wise to dedicate this life to practical service for humanity which would show him the range of his own abilities and offer him the confidence he initially lacks.

The Virgo sign north node individual possesses all that he needs to crystallize his visions. All he needs to do is to stop his dependence on others…protect himself from all the negative influences that surround him…and stay away from self pity. All that is past has passed. Now it’s time to protect his heart, focus his mind, and develop a practical work ethic. And once he does that, he will be free to create the kind of life that will sustain him on multiple levels.

Having said all that, it might not be such a bad idea for him to surround himself with people willing to support his journey. He doesn’t necessarily need their help but it would make the trip much less painful. Also, it would be wise to fill his immediate environment with as many Virgo symbols as he can find so that he can be reminded of his Virgo soul mission during moments of amnesia. By surrounding himself with supportive people, Virgo sign colors, Virgo sign fragrances, and Virgo sign ornaments, he will be creating a circle of Virgo energy that can give him the courage and clarity of vision he needs to walk forward on his unique path to fulfillment.

Now, if you’re reading this article and it's your mate that has a north node in the sign of Virgo, and you do that for your mate, well...that's about the greatest gift that you could ever give him/or her. Because there's nothing like the feeling one gets when he realizes that he has found someone who really gets him -- a true friend...lover...and the irreplaceable soul companion he's been searching for his entire life.
