Virgo Sign North Node - Your Soul’s Mission and Path to Fulfillment!

Once you understand your north node, you will know how to transform a struggle-filled life into a soulful existence.

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 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 north node soul 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.

Another 2 months.

Its been another 2 months since i came to Japan. These 2 months have been quite turbulent for me. I realised that i have alot decisions to make. These decision concerns my future and the stakes are quite high. I would call it life changing decision. Is it really life changing? I still ask myself that now. Being a indecisive bastard doesn't help much. Thus, i have been pretty much screwing up my life here and in general. I didn't make much decision in the end. If you don't decide on life, life will make the decision for you and most of the time you won't like it. That's what im going through now. Taking whatever decision life have made for me and is whining and bitching like a spoilt child, which pisses everyone off. Time is not on my side. I have many things i want to do here but that means i will have to extend my stay here. I'm not sure whether i can deal with the changes back in Singapore. One such recent change have send me spiralling downwards. Loss. That's what i can't deal with i think. Although being here i am experiencing new things, i can't stop pondering where is this leading me. Is it worth risking losing what i have in Singapore? Am i rooted in Singapore? Am i thinking about all these because i'm getting old? I no longer wants to get out of Singapore? Who am i? What do i want? What do i need? What should i do? Is this the end? Sentimental. Maybe as i grew older i become more sentimental. Whatever i yearn to do since i return from US are no longer practical to me now. I have wasted my time away again. I have been living as if im still 24 for the longest time. I am 28 now. It's really catching up on me. I suddenly realised that i am at the age where people look for a partner for marriage. I realised that i most probably won't be able to handle a heartbreak. The risk of loving someone so much that you want to stay with her forever and only to realise that 3 years down the road your predictability and monotonous lifestyle have bored her and she no longer want you anymore. The thought of losing someone precious is just too unbearable. Same with the thought of missing the best thing to happen in your life. It will be lost forever. You can only hope that someday the next best thing will come along. I don't think im that optimistic. Some things just happen once and if you miss it, it will be lost forever. I think i have missed many of those things. I still have not learned from my lesson. I still can't identify them. And always at the critical moment, i let them slip away. Only to regret later and behave like a spoilt bastard. I at loss with what i can do with myself. Most of the time i run. I have been running. I hope i will stop running soon. I have still yet to make any decision.


Friends celebrating my birthday with me. It's really nice of them. We had a simple dinner and went to Karaoke. They even bought me a birthday cake.















In November, I went for L'arc en ciel's and U2's concert. Both are amazing. Especially U2's, they kicked off their gig with Arcade Fire's "Wake up" and got everyone excited. I went crazy. They did "Sunday Bloody Sunday", which i thought i can never hear live, on the pretext of promoting awareness of the situation in the middle east and Israel. The Co-existence of Jews, Christians and Muslims.




For those who misses me, this is the only really really really really really really really really really really really really really really good photo of me. Treasure it.

2 Months.

Yup! It's already 2 months since i left Singapore for the Suntec City of Japan (i'm surrounded by 5 mountains and in the middle is my town and a lake...). I tried to get involve with as much thing as possible at first but not having a car and internet for a month really cost me much opportunities to join activities and meet more people. Now that i have my car and internet, nothing much have changed. I'm still hanging out in my room more than trying to get involve with events at school or the community. I guess i'm suffering from some sort of culture shock. I have to get myself out of this situation or i will be wasting precious time and opportunities here.

Anyway, some updates. Teaching is tough! I feel really bad everytime after i screw up a lesson and have watch my fellow Japanese English Teacher clean up the mess. I try to prepare in advance most of the time but that only got me really frustrated because i keep finding myself staring at the text and can't think of anything at all on how to teach the grammar points with minimum japanese. And the fact that the teachers are busy most of the time means they don't really know what they want to do for the next lesson until the night before the lesson. Therefore, i don't know what i need to prepare most of the time (that explains the staring at the text). I hope i can get myself to take more initiative and get more information or communnicate better with my fellow english teachers.

Ok, enough of work. Now for picture time!

To end this update, i will have a picture that sums up my mood here.

Land of the Rising Sun...Introducing SadaWC....

Yes, i am finally connected onto the internet! I feel liberated! I feel i'm one with the world again! There are so much to share online! PHOTOS! MUSIC! FILMS! INFORMATION!!!

Ok, a little update from Japan.

I am currently in a average town call Shinano in Nagano Prefecture.


This is my apartment.


The ugly looking car on the right is my car. The outside of my apartment is like a little jungle with all the wild grass and weeds...took me 2 hours to clear the entrance's weeds with nothing by gloves and a grass shear.

And now, introducing the SadaWC...Never would you expect this is Japan...
(*Warning! Those with a weak heart, please do not view this!)


The people here have been really nice so far. The people at school are all nice and friendly, although most tend to keep to themselves. I have a supervisor in School, who is the head of the english department and a english teacher. Under him is a another english teacher, who has only been in the school for 3 years. She is pretty young and is more enthusiatic about teaching and connecting with her students. My supervisor? Let's say he is an old timer, waiting for retirement and his pension. Typical Singaporean and Japanese type, just do what's required, nothing more, nothing less and fish off on the dot at the end of the day.

I will leave you guys with a picture of my students. I made them do this for Molly's birthday! heheh! So CUTE!!!

Our First and My Last...I love you all...

On the 15th of July will be LocalBarBoy's first acoustic set. Being the second worst or the worst (depending on which statistics you refer to), we have rope in another musician to improve our sound for this acoustic set. Sorry people, the singers are the same and this is the chance for you to hear our voice properly and realise that we are just a bunch of karaoke singers. Though, of course, we do sound better in a enclosed room and the echo knob turned up. We will be playing at the Art House at dunno-what-time yet. For details, please refer to here.

This is the sad bit (well, for me...). If all goes well, LocalBarBoy will be having a solo gig at Home Club on the 28th of July. On my part, i want to make this a really special night for those who comes for our gig. Its time to put my thinking cap on and ingest more fun into our gig (on my part again). This will be my last gig and i hope i will be able to perform again after a year. Thanks to all of you for cutting me some slack on my vocal and my spastic dance moves. I try my best and hope that you enjoyed yourself, at least visually. (well, on my part again) Please continue to support LocalBarBoy and local music. I believe LocalBarBoy will be even better now with more of Ler's musical contribution.

All journey must come to an end and with each ending comes a new beginning. LocalBarBoy in Japan! Lets make it happen!

Its been a long time coming.

Yes. I'm lazy. I have not updated this blog for like a few months. A lot of things have happened during this few months which makes me pretty busy and tired at the end of the day to write. However, don't worry, i will have time to write again soon as i will be out of job again! YES! But instead of bumming in Singapore (Professionally) i will be bumming in JAPAN! YES! Say it with me brothers and sisters! JAPAN! Guess what? i will be there for a YEAR! Yes! Say it with me brothers, sisters, fathers and mothers, a YEAR! Ok, I have been accepted to participate in the Japanese Exchange and Teaching (JET) Programme (details can be found at the Japanese Embassy's Website). I will be assisting the Foreign Language Teacher there with teaching English. Cool? Cool? Cool? Hee Hee.



Well, a little something to apologise for not updating for such a long time. Thank you Chloe for also being the one to take picture and so consolidating them together!

Franz Ferdinard tonight!

Yeah another concert tonight! Franz Ferdinard is in town! Ok, its not something to be that excited about, but in Singapore you don't get any good gigs coming in that often. The last concert i saw was "Dream Theatre" at the Indoor Stadium. Awesome! First prog. rock concert i've been to, although i was in the States before and totally love this music genre that time. Although i was blown away by band's instrument works, their showmanships, the crowd's energy, i couldn't bring myself to enjoy the show and let go of myself to the music. Why? Imagine feeling that somebody is watching or breathing down your neck throughout the whole show? I hope its not gonna be like that tonight since i got the standing ticket! Raba Raba, wink wink...
