So strange. I was in the middle of a blog post and my computer freaked-out. Restarted the machine. I’m not sure I can reproduce it.
It was about feeling stupid. I was asking you. You, reading this. How often you feel stupid — throughout the day. How I don’t feel stupid all that often. But that I DO feel stupid today. And that feeling stupid is not the same as shame but it has something to do with exposure, even though it isn’t about other people. It’s about feeling stupid to yourself. Something feels out of alignment or off track. Not on track with your track — is how stupid feels to me.
I think, actually, that was the gist of it. And I was relating it to the North Node. The North Node is your track. And then I made a joke about Young MC (long story) and POOF blog post gone.
So the question becomes: HOW TO FEEL LESS STUPIDITY and more INTEGRITY — more on track — even when we have to do things (or feel we have to do things) that we don’t really want to do or something feels “off.”
Answer: North Node. Go North Node with it. Your natal placement is good for all time (for this lifetime) but you can also borrow from the North Node by transit. YES TRY THIS TAKE MY ADVICE AND SO WILL I.
How you can feel LESS stupid is to move towards authenticity. Be you. No matter what you do. And if THAT doesn’t work. If bringing North Node to the task at hand doesn’t soothe the feeling then perhaps you need to rethink what you’re doing and why.

“Go North Node with it”…brilliant that you bring this up Aliza because I am learning (Natal Saturn in Sag as well as Merc in Sag) that that is exactly where I need to go. I go in. I do Yoga. I meditate. I go into Nature. My NN is in the 12th house. I also know an old women who is not homeless but obviously not wealthy and hangs out with her walker on our corner downtown. I go hug her. I bring her things and ask how she is. We have a nice chat and i giver her dollar “for a cup of coffee”. She smiles and I feel reborn. After that, I don’t feel stupid anymore for whatever reason I did. I am on track again.
Love your stories, Dawn thank you
You just have no idea – well, perhaps you have SOME idea – just how right you are! This morning when I woke up and headed for work, I was completely what you started describing at the beginning at your post…then I got handed the layoff notice and it was like a NOTICE TO ME: Time to be less stupidity, work at something with more integrity, get your authenticity back on…and hey, you’re back on track! I left the building, the sky opened up, the sun started shining (in the middle of a snowstorm), and I smiled all the way home. I don’t know where I’m going next but I KNOW I just took a step in the right direction – great writing, Aliza!
Wow Kimberly that is amazing —
