South Node in the Sixth House

You are a heckuva problem-solver! If anything goes wrong, you just apply a little logic and figure out the cause. The solution may require some work, but that never hurt anybody. Except that you're feeling tired, very tired. Hey, pull it together - what are you, a wuss? Ugh, there goes that incredibly strong, self-critical voice again; it never lets up. And yet, what are you supposed to do - give up? Everything would fall apart. Your deepest fear is that if you let go of control, you'll go crazy. And yet your body is breaking down, despite all the time and energy you devote to diet and exercise. You worry about that, in fact you worry about everything, and you have a sneaking suspicion that that just makes it worse.

North Node in the Twelfth House

You begin to admit to yourself that you don't really have control, not on the most basic level. Does that mean you're doomed, that there is now only entropic disintegration? Or is there something else, is there a will or intelligence that transcends your conscious mind? If you're psychologically oriented, you might call it the unconscious. The religious call it God or Spirit. Whatever this controlling force is, it's not concrete and tangible. Turning control over to it is an act of faith - "Thy Will Be Done". In 60s-speak, you're learning to go with the flow. You're allowing the formerly rigid structures of your mind to dissolve, replaced by deep, intuitive wisdom and gentle compassion.
