Okay, here’s my post about the North Node in Pisces:
So, I’ve been digging into this whole astrology thing lately, and I stumbled upon something called the “North Node.” Apparently, it’s this point in your astrological chart that shows where you’re supposed to be heading in life. It is like a sign that shows you the way. And it’s all super vague and kind of out there.
Mine is in Pisces, which I guess means I’m meant to get more in touch with my spiritual side. Or something like that. For about 18 months, the lunar nodes will be in Pisces. I think this might be a good opportunity for me to start my journey. I have some basic understanding of it.
I started by trying to meditate. Yeah, that didn’t go so well. Sitting still and trying to quiet my mind is, like, impossible. I tried to be patient. It is not so easy as I think. I found myself thinking about what I needed to pick up from the store, and whether I remembered to turn off the stove. Then I tried to focus on my breathing, but I just ended up feeling lightheaded. I gave up after about five minutes.
Next, I figured I’d try to be more empathetic, since that’s another Pisces thing. I watched a bunch of sad movies, hoping to get the tears flowing. Nope. Nothing. I mean, they were sad, sure, but I didn’t exactly feel like I was connecting with the characters on some deep emotional level. Maybe I should have kept going, but honestly, I got bored. I tried to empathize with other people. It didn’t work well, maybe because I didn’t spend enough time on it.
-
Tried journaling, that was kind of helpful, I guess.
-
Spent some time in nature, which was nice, but didn’t feel particularly life-changing.
-
Read some poetry. Couldn’t really get into it.
-
Tried to be more in touch with my intuition. I think I need more practice on it.
Honestly, the whole thing felt a bit forced. It was like I was trying to be someone I’m not. I tried to be more intuitive, empathetic, but it was like I was just checking boxes off a list. I think I need more time and I should be more patient.
What I Realized
Maybe this North Node stuff isn’t about radically changing who you are overnight. Maybe it’s more about just being open to new experiences and seeing where they take you. Maybe the process is more important than the result. I don’t know, I’m still figuring it all out. But I’m trying to keep an open mind, and I’m not going to beat myself up if I don’t suddenly become some enlightened guru by tomorrow.
I guess the journey is the destination, right? Or something like that. It was not easy, and I know I still have a long way to go. Anyway, I just wanted to share my experience, in case anyone else is going through something similar. It’s okay to be a work in progress. We all are.
