How to be a human person

The thing I notice about people with Virgo/Pisces lunar nodes, major energy oppositions, and prenatal eclipse patterns (check them out—they are fascinating), is that they have the most trouble with focus: Virgo is too close, and Pisces is too far away. The other thing is that the lunar nodes and eclipse patterns with Virgo/Pisces often have intuitive gifts: Pisces goes too hard on the intuition and Virgo not hard enough (said another way, Virgo is too close to "reality" and Pisces is too far away from it).

I'll spell this out a little more for those of you who are wondering to yourself "am I in this category?"

• People I am not talking about:

  • People with just suns or moons in Virgo and Pisces: if you don't recognize yourself in the following, don't get paranoid that you're maybe doing this stuff. You're fine.

• Virgo Problems group: people probably too focused on their to-do list and not focused enough on their dreams:

  • Virgo south nodes

  • 6th house south nodes

  • Pisces prenatal lunar eclipse/12th prenatal lunar eclipse (lunar eclipses are things you do badly by sign and house)

  • Neptune on the north node

  • Mercury on the south node

  • Skeptical people who will never read any of this because astrology "isn't real"

• Pisces Problems group: people who need to learn to be on earth and obey clock time and traffic laws (and get out of your feelings...and stop letting people take advantage of you while you're at it, but that's a whole different post):

  • Pisces south nodes

  • 12th house south nodes

  • Virgo prenatal lunar eclipse/6th house prenatal lunar eclipse (lunar eclipses are things you do badly by sign and house)

  • Neptune on the south node OR square the nodes

  • Mercury on the north node

  • People who uncritically consume anything ever written/spoken/recorded about "woo" topics

Both are too sensitive: the Virgos are sensitive to exactitude and the Pisceseans can pick up feelings and whims and things in the ether and maybe also tell you which of your chakras is out of alignment. Each is paying too much attention to their preferred category at the expense of the other. This is a 'too much reality'/'not enough reality' argument.

So now, tell me, which one is easier to live with? The one who is fussy because their preferred brand of oat milk is out of stock or the person who got lost on the way to the grocery store and came back 4 hours later with a pellet gun (no groceries) and tales of interesting new friends?

Virgo problems people need to broaden their focus and loosen up and Pisces problems are too loose and need to be in the here-and-now. The problem is that each is too attached to their perspective that they don't see that this is a problem or how it's impacting their lives, health, and relationships.

I say about 4 times a year in jest "I feel like I was put on earth for Pisces north node people" (meaning the Virgo problems people). I describe "relaxing" to them and they look at me funny. They tell me about their special diets and food ingredient preferences and I look at them funny. I explain "trusting your intuition" as a concept and they look at me like they'd rather ingest rocks. I tell them about my intuitive adventures and they cross their arms and make an "I don't believe you" face. A few weeks later I tell them another one. I get the face again. I keep doing this until I get to neutral: neither believing nor not believing. Because, again, either I was put on earth to test them and get them to be more open to the idea of intuition or I'm being sent all the uptight skeptics because someone in charge likes their jokes...or the Virgo distribution system is glitching.

Read anything written about Virgo south nodes and you'll find the word "humanity" coming up again and again in the sense that they are detached from theirs: in some cases they are too uptight to be able to embrace foibles. These people get so laser-focused on perfection and detail that there's no room for the idea of flow, and if you say the word "whimsy" toward them they might get queasy.

Meanwhile, the Pisces problems group either need a minder or a reality checker, or both. And don't get me wrong: there are often intuitive gifts in this crowd. The problem is not their use, it's their overuse. We run into trouble when their version of reality veers off into the subjective and they stop functioning in reality because their belief systems are not in compliment with what the world is actually doing. Or, to put it concisely: they start saying insane shit. The gift of intuition or "sight" is great, but if you can't make your intuitions actionable, what's the point? Alternately, belief systems can become a huge impediment. I'm sure you've met someone who can't have a normal-person conversation because they keep trying to recruit you to their religion or political philosophy and somehow make every conversation about their worldview like some kind of deranged ninja. You politely change the subject and they change it back and eventually you just throw your hands up and leave. The reality is that there's no one belief system that works for all people. A second reality is that no one likes having their own set of beliefs disrespected, and as right as some of Pisces people are convinced that they are, they can alienate people they could have helped if they simply took a different approach and didn't get preachy. Or say really weird shit that a "normal" person isn't ready to hear. (I'm guilty of having done this.)

I bring this up because the transiting south node is in Virgo with the north node in Pisces, so we have a year and a half of too much hypercritical Virgo focus and the need to take time out and be whimsical. Please help me convince some of the Virgo problems crowd to start doing this because they are talking to me about mineral water and paperwork.
