South Node in Leo

All you want is to be happy - is that too much to ask? Long ago you discovered the strength of your will, your ability to make things happen in the world around you. There are many people that you deeply love, and you do everything you can to make them happy. Why don't they appreciate it? They say you try too hard, that you take things too personally. How else are you supposed to take it? They say that you're self-centered, that you act superior. Well, you do feel special, you just have healthy self-esteem. They say you're not being honest with yourself. But what good is honesty if it doesn't make you happy?

North Node in Aquarius

It begins to dawn on you that the harder you try, the more unhappy you feel. A very simple equation. An equation?! You sound like a scientist. This is your life we're talking about! And yet, personalizing it doesn't change anything. When you stop pushing, you feel better - not happy maybe, but better. How does that work? You step back and begin to observe yourself, trying to be objective. You discover that friends are an incredible source of honest feedback, as long as they don't feel compelled to prop up your ego. It seems as if there are many parts of life that work much better when you get out of the way. As you increasingly adopt this approach, you discover a surprising side-effect. You feel free!
