Introduction

Welcome to your Past Life report. Whereas the birthchart is a symbolic road map describing your current life, the Past Lives chart is a blueprint of your previous incarnations. The pages that follow will help shed some light on themes related to your past life instincts. First, let's talk about reincarnation which is the belief that the current incarnation (as depicted by our birthchart) is linked to the lives that we have previously led. This collection of past influences points to particular experiences you might encounter again so that you can further your growth and fully develop your creative potential. These past impressions go far in shaping many of our current thoughts and choices. There are certain gifts a person seems to possess right  out of the womb! It's as though destiny or fate leads one to realize these attributes. Of course, we still have to show ambition and make the effort in order to keep our dreams alive. This report may give confirmation to talents that you already know you have or open your eyes to ones that you have yet to discover.

Our past lives are alive and well in our consciousness. This may already be apparent to you. But on the other hand, these experiences can lie beyond the threshold of our conscious mind's awareness. What is doing the remembering, if our mind isn't? Call it your soul, higher consciousness or whatever explanation feels right to you.

Have you ever heard about karma, that great law of cause and effect? An old timeless saying sums up the whole process: "You reap what you sew." There are actions and thoughts that defined us in other lives, or have guided us to where we are in the present. They don't really exert any control over us. We have freedom of choice. That's a strong message to remember when reading this report.

Also, don't panic if you read something that says you were not a perfect person. Nobody is in the current one! Use the report as a learning tool. The idea is to keep developing and evolving. It's balancing the cosmic rhythm of past and present that presents each of us with a challenge. Do we respond positively or negatively? With hope or doubt? Many of our tendencies are linked to previous incarnations. Certain patterns have likely been by our side over many lifetimes. As we grow and expand our awareness, it becomes very possible to step beyond the trappings of past life baggage.

No doubt you will read various sections that seem to contradict each other. Each could be true about you. It's important to realize that many different dimensions of ourselves live within us. Each of us is composed of memories from so many past lives, combined with an assortment of ways we have learned to deal with reality in this life, that make us complex beings. See which descriptions ring true to you as you read through the following pages. You will notice some traits described have a repeating theme.

I hope you find this report an enjoyable ride into your past life instincts and thought patterns. They are somewhere in your consciousness. Perhaps some of what you read will strike a familiar chord. After all, these pages are all about your past life loves, creative pursuits, adventures, travels, highs and lows, over many lifetimes. Happy navigating!

The Past Life Chart Structure

Some technical explanations about the Past Life chart (if you detest technical discussions, then skip this paragraph and jump right into the report!). The Ascendant in this chart starts with the sign on the cusp of the 12th house, instead of the traditional method of using the sign on the 1st house cusp, which is the sign rising on the eastern horizon at the time of birth. Also, the Past Life birthchart houses are counted clockwise, rather than the conventional way of counterclockwise. In other words, since the 12th house becomes the Ascendant, the sign on the cusp of the 11th house now begins the 2nd house, etc., around the chart wheel. What is considered the Ascendant or 1st house in the traditional chart becomes the 12th in the Past Life chart. Your planets remain in the same sign placements, but now occupy different houses, in this new chart. The planets in signs are interpreted in your report from a past lives perspective.

Something interesting to consider in thinking of the houses in a clockwise direction, they are actually now moving in the same direction as the Nodes of the Moon. As you will read in the report the Moon's nodes are strong past life or karmic points in a chart. Their retrograde motion is clockwise meaning they share the same life biorhythms as the houses of the Past Life chart. By traveling backward, or clockwise, through the houses, you are being regressed back into a past life analysis. Enjoy your ride down memory filled lanes!

The Passport

In this section are the first, middle and last names of your Past Lives astrological identity, the Sun, Moon, and Past Lives Ascendant. Each of these three building blocks will be discussed as to how they actively shaped many of your former lives. But before you meet these three key players, you will start your tour through memory lane with the North Node of the Moon. The North Node contains a special message about what was your overall life purpose.  It was a constant rhythm pulsating in your consciousness to keep you on target toward your true purposes. It was a celestial compass trying to guide you to walk your talk with greater clarity. So sit back, and enjoy reading your past lives primer.

Node in Taurus

You had a history of attaining reliable resources. One of your key impulses was seeking comfort and ownership. Your soul was normally patient to reincarnate, knowing that a lifetime of work couldn't be done in a day. The archetypal theme for your destiny was to be a stabilizing force. A crucial lesson was not to get stuck. Becoming too attached to what you tasted, touched, smelled and owned kept you from expanding your growth. When you found ways to increase your wealth, it brought you great satisfaction.

There were times you were drawn into the danger lanes. A trickster was telling yourself that whatever came easy was not to be trusted. Life seemed an endless struggle. Finding a way to balance a sober outlook with seeking extreme intensity was a key to your fulfillment. Finding contentment with your desire nature regularly played a major role in your incarnations. You needed to know that you could trust someone with your deepest secrets and with your possessions. Claiming your own power in relationships and in other endeavors, shed great illumination. Betrayal by those you confided in threw you off course. Turning to your own values and resourcefulness pointed the way to wholeness. A tendency to explore life's mysteries deepened your understanding and taught you how to convert negatives into positives.

Node in 3rd house

What types of activities did you participate in that furthered your soul growth? It most definitely was anything or anyone that stimulated your mind. If you got too scattered there was a bit of frustration in trying to concentrate. A common concern was "how can I reach the depths of my learning ability?"  When you took the time to seek expansive enough life interests, you managed to stay out of karma's way. What sorts of experiences motivated you? A big one was communication! Following right behind it was an insatiable drive to be educated, whether traditionally or unconventionally. Being a net-worker or broadcaster of a message was another theme. Your energy levels peaked when finding a diversified lifestyle that constantly breathed in refreshing new information. Growing too one-dimensional is what deflated the air out of your balloon. Keeping your eyes on a broad perspective with an eclectic panache is what brought out a free-spiritedness. When you sought to share your knowledge openly this kept you on track as much as embracing a too narrow belief system was derailing. Somewhere always hiding in the caverns of your memory banks were highly perceptive instincts mixed with a tinge of not really wanting to be limited by reality. When using this wisely and insightfully, life was colored with great variety, never stopping long enough to be bored.

Sun: Creativity, Ego, Self-expression

Sun in Aries:

The sign of Aries, the ram, lighted the early-spring astrological skies at your birth into this life. Let's explore what significance this had in regard to your past lives. In traditional astrology, the keyword phrase for Aries is "I am". You had a pattern of making a strong statement about your identity. This isn't saying you had a confused self-image, lifetime after lifetime. The old saying: "don't say yes when you mean no" applied here. Assertiveness training was something that followed you from one incarnation to another.

An archetype for Aries is the Warrior. Another is the daredevil. Finding the courage to express yourself directly was the challenge. How did you respond? If you hid your true needs, then you didn't reach your goals. Then again, if you overreacted by blowing everyone out of your way, you didn't have any friends.

The cosmic principle at work through many of your past incarnations was to act first and reflect later. Within you are confident memories that catapult you to overcome obstacles. Also, there are memories of times when you abused your forcefulness, intimidating others. You found ego strength when moving ahead with a conscious awareness of your own creative force. You came into this life solarized through a sign promoting boldness. This was a theme that ran throughout your incarnations and was a key to your self-mastery. It was when you exercised focus and discipline that this energy was turned into a real winner!

Sun in 4th house

You had solar power that was expressed with a lot of feeling in previous lives. Though it must be said you weren't always so quick to show your playing cards. An inclination to be secretive until really trusting that the time was right to reveal your true motives was a way of being. Your creative vitality became awakened when you saw ways to add to feelings of security. Home was godly in your opinion. You took pride in preserving the customs and beliefs that were heartfelt. Loyalty to family and ancestry was part of the package.

If there was a challenge, it was becoming too scared to show your true talent. A lack of confidence due to shyness or fear of failure was the source of this behavior. You did often outgrow being overly reserved. The hermit and silent one did live brightly through you. This isn't saying you were always a loner, only that you needed time to warm up to people. Your self-expression climbed the sky in a big way when you found the life directions that energized your inner dreams. Getting your moods in sync with your mind was a key to success. The world responded positively when you had the courage to initiate actions that were for the good of all, and not so graciously when you drew back into a reclusive shell. Getting beyond the negative memories of the past usually was a first step in the right direction. You found fulfillment in nurturing the growth of those you loved, and witnessing the birth of your most cherished plans.

Moon: Sense of Security, Roots, Feelings

Moon in Capricorn:

You were lunarized at birth through the sign of Capricorn. What does this say about your past life tendencies? An instinctual desire to trust the safety of structure as a means to success followed you from one incarnation to another. The family ancestries in past lives were linked by a serious acceptance of responsibility and ambitious drives.

Your inner landscapes were colored by a hard-working nature.  Fear was the stumbling block that got in your way. When you conquered self-doubt just enough to break free, you found your true paths. You could be quite reserved, even shy, until getting to know someone. It's possible that you felt younger as you became older! You were a reliable sort. Some may have found you a little strict. The less control you exhibited, the closer loved ones came to you.

You enjoyed solitude as the atmosphere spoke to your soul. You rose into leadership positions because people trusted you. You reached the top of a profession through steady patience. Delayed gratification was not that hard for you. Being too conservative when it came to taking a risk did cost you an opportunity or two. Depression was a challenge.  It was important that you didn't make your work your whole life. Another strong theme was leadership. Your subconscious called to you to stay clear of becoming rigid, and let the voice of your intuition speak as loudly as your pragmatic side.

Moon in 8th house

You had intuitive power when it came to understanding the deeper psychological processes of people. Trust didn't come easy. You instinctually knew to be cautious around those arousing your suspicion in order to ensure your sense of security. A probing psyche allowed you to guard against letting individuals get too close, until getting to know them. When you did depend on someone too much, and got hurt in the process, the scar didn't go away quickly. You tended to process the past diligently.

There were power struggles. It wasn't easy to trust others. If you did draw close to someone, the bond did grow quite deep. Your moods were about as intense as they came. People often wondered what was going on in your head, as many of your thoughts were kept private. There was a mental toughness that separated you from the fainthearted. The downside was self-undoing through compulsive desires and a tendency to be self-destructive. The upside was equally as strong, showing a talent to master incredible creative energies, and to overcome adversity. There were strong survival instincts. An inner feeling to seek passionate and intense relationships was a repeating pattern. You preferred lovers and friends who were generous with their money and property. It encouraged you to open your heart to them. Experiences that fostered your personal empowerment and offered privacy were your favorites.

Ascendant: Persona, Identity, Calling Card

Cancer on Ascendant:

With the sign Cancer as your past lives Ascendant, a search for a sense of security frequently colored your incarnations. You were very attached to your home. When you became bonded to a location or home, it took a lot to pry you loose. You moved fast when needing to preserve your sense of security. You were not the easiest person to get to know. On the surface you seemed rather flowing, but behind that outer show of cool was a tendency to proceed slowly. You looked out at the world with cautious eyes. People perceived you in past lives as a very private person. Your inner world was complex. People saw you as a bit secretive. You revealed your secret agendas to those who won your trust or admiration. Honoring your family ancestry was a heartfelt desire.  You frequently looked at the world through eyes that wished to preserve the past. You initiated actions spontaneously when you became fired up over an idea. When you were the catalyst for change, you moved faster than when you were attempting to adjust to changes imposed upon you. You had a need to be with people not afraid to feel deeply. You usually looked for those closest to you to give their support when you needed to meet life's challenges. Remembering to take the time to be happy and appreciate the present was something you always needed to learn.

The Quest

Mercury: Communication, Perceptions and Logic

Mercury in Pisces

You were Mercurialized at birth through the sign of Pisces pointing to highly imaginative mental impulses in past lives. Your communication style was dreamy and contemplative.

The world never really measured up to your expectations. You did your best to find the niches that allowed your fantasy world to coexist with responsibilities. Escaping from everyday norms brought you to try varying lifestyles. The arts did satisfy a hunger to express a poetic and magical mind. The muses visited you frequently. The powers of your intuition went far. You did occasionally feel betrayed by your feelings and unconditional trust of others. Reality testing taught you a few lessons in knowing your limits.

Often it took two professions or multiple interests to keep you happy. Divine discontent swept you away in search of more inspiring people, places, or things. You were capable of seeing into the deepest recesses of someone's mind. It was guilt that at times grew bothersome. When you sought to escape from facing your problems, life could become a disorienting maze. When you found the faith to walk your talk, people couldn't help but admire you. Addictive habits weakened your spirit in a few lives. Your spiritual quest to find a sense of unity was a motivating force. Your mental outlook was brighter when you either served meaningful causes or you found paths that kept you inspired.

Mercury in 5th house

Your perceptions moved dramatically in search of ways to express your most heartfelt desires. Ideas you presented had a way of attracting attention. You energetically looked out at the world as a stage to act out your plans. Your mind was invigorated through being in the company of lively individuals. You liked being where the action was happening. Confidence grew as you found those outlets that showcased your abilities. When you were ignored it was hurtful. At times, you were too demanding of center stage.

Communication was a strong point in that you knew how to make powerful first impressions. This doesn't mean you always won people over to your point of view. When you stubbornly persisted on getting your own way it caused tension and discord. Your creative passion did sway others to invest in you. Taking risks made you nervous but the temptation was hard to resist. If you rushed forward impulsively without considering the consequences it got you into trouble. Challenges that had a promise of elevating your sense of self-importance got your dedication. You didn't like being told what to do. You liked to feel a sense of accomplishment and pride.

Venus: Relationships, Values, Comfort.

Venus in Taurus

With the love goddess adorning you through the sign of Taurus at birth, you came from past lives where you sought after sensual and stabilizing relationships. Many people perceived you as symbolizing beauty and calmness. Your social instincts were shaded with a hue of enjoyment in meeting individuals with similar values.

The ideal soul mate was a person with a level head and with a knack for making you feel comfortable. You were attracted to lovers knowing how to make a good living and having the generosity to share their wealth. You didn't like to be rushed to judgment. Actually you became quite stubborn when this did occur.  You had a fondness for the arts.  Living amongst serene landscapes was a heartfelt need. The hustle and bustle of the competitive business world did not appeal to you. In other lives it was just the opposite, finding yourself an active merchant on Main Street.

Where was the rub? You sometimes were accused of being too possessive of those you loved. Then there were those instances when you became obsessed with physical desires. You found greater happiness when keeping these tendencies in check. Your romantic fulfillment depended greatly on finding partners able to carry their share of the responsibility, and individuals willing to share your love of peace.

Venus in 3rd house

You were mentally quick when interacting socially. You tended to be a stimulating force in relationships, with ideas that made others think more insightfully. Communication-friendly lovers attracted your attention, and your way with words got them to notice you. Versatility was what you looked for in people. Rigidity didn't impress you.

Some accused you of being fickle and lacking concentration. Though you explained this as a need to stay mentally diversified. Travel companions on the physical and intellectual levels made you feel at ease. Your peers experienced you as curious and even anxious. You liked to keep your options so open that at times making commitments was testy. You valued not being forced into decisions and liked individuals with a willingness to be open to change. When people listened to you they made you feel valuable. Encouraging those you loved to see the possibilities before them meant a lot to you.

Mars: Assertion, Courage, Identity

Mars in Leo

What would a warrior planet in the fiery sign of Leo mean regarding your past lives? A ferocious drive to proceed ahead forcefully was what you demonstrated. Patience depended more on whether you thought something was worth seeing through to the end. You could exert incredible will power if fighting for your most passionate desires. Your initiating impulse blasted off when you found your creative power. A competitive spirit was launched when you were determined to bring enterprising ideas to the public. You weren't afraid to take chances though twenty-twenty hindsight did make for embarrassing moments. This didn't really detract from your getting right back to pushing another plan. Self-centeredness did create tension.

Your identity felt more at home when in love with a special someone, and having your creations admired. You could be easily angered by those not appreciating your romantic advances and by those critical of you. You were someone needing outlets to keep your energy directed smoothly. When you moved with awareness and foresight, you never had to look far for adventurous challenges and growth. 

Mars in 12th house

You took initiative when it came to seeking paths to fulfill your idealism. Your adrenaline got pumping when you went on adventurous escapes. There was endless imagination at your disposal. The trick was not becoming so disillusioned with reality that you got stuck. A competitive side came forward when people told you your dreams were impossible to fulfill. This made you try that much harder to prove them wrong. Fighting to defend those you loved was a repeating pattern. Rushing headfirst into romance happened more often than not. You didn't always care about the consequences of your actions. What made you become territorial? It was when you felt your ideals being threatened by those not understanding them.

Impatience with those you loved caused bad feelings. You could have high standards with unreasonable expectations. When you realized you were being too demanding relationships were more flowing. Assertiveness was testy. Guilt did at times keep you waterlogged, as did trying to be too perfect. You were an intense mixture of fire and water, which resulted in steam. You had to connect with your intuition to stay on target. Anger was another challenge. You could be stone quiet, making others try to figure out if you were mad. Then again, irrational outbursts would come when you couldn't hold back anymore. You were at the top of your game when acting from your highest beliefs.

Jupiter: Knowledge, Expansion, Philosophy, Travel

Jupiter in Sagittarius

Having Jupiter, the planet of good fortune, in the sign of Sagittarius indicates that you were enthusiastic about new adventures. A gypsy, free-spirited soul you were! You chose to expand your potential through education and meeting people from diverse backgrounds. Knowledge was godlike in your perspective. Learning made you feel like you were soaring high above the crowd. It was important for you to find your own unique destiny, no matter where this took you.  In many lives you were as nomadic as they came. You were luckier than most. Why? Maybe it was that undying faith in positive outcomes. Or perhaps it was that captivating way of talking. You were a fish out of water when lacking confidence. You assumed it was your birthright to know things always worked out for the best. Blind faith and making ridiculous promises got the world mad at you. When you became too argumentative for your own truths, lovers and friends turned away until you became more accepting. You often were just the lift others needed to be around. Your restless spirit danced circles around the more complacent. You didn't want to rest for too long, fearing you could miss the next door of opportunity. When maintaining a broad perspective you more easily could see your way through the trees without losing the inherent beauty of the forest.

Jupiter in 8th house

A positive and enterprising outlook influenced you to look for profitable alliances. You felt great if you managed to pull off moving in multiple directions successfully. Although there were times when you regretted not focusing on one major undertaking at a time. Losing important confidantes or romantic partners through not paying attention to them did get you thinking about your priorities.  A tendency to be too secretive distanced you from others. Spontaneity in tempting fate, or even living in dangerous situations, made you feel refreshed. Learning to keep life simple proved a wise alternative. Getting lost in compulsive desires needed to be kept in check. A powerful rejuvenation of energy followed when you turned things around. Travel was one of your favorite ways to process information or past experiences. Luck smiled favorably upon you when letting go of your irrational fears. Good fortune came through having the wisdom to know which belief systems would expand your options.

The Journey

Saturn: Ambition, Seriousness, Focus, Responsibility

Saturn in Leo

Ambition came through you with thunderous force, says your past lives history, with Saturn placed in the dramatic sign of Leo. Discipline followed after you plunged passionately into your most creative endeavors. You didn't like taking a backseat to anyone. Pride in your accomplishments was your style. It didn't hurt your feelings if people applauded loudly. The rub was when they didn't acknowledge your talents quickly enough. But let it be said you were willing to cheer on others in return. Your greatest fear was rejection. It devastated you, especially in romance. When you realized that not everyone would love you unconditionally, guess what happened? You found happiness faster.

A karmic shadow was being too overconfident in some lives, while lacking ego strength in others. How could both be possible? There were times when you steam rolled your desires over others. Then there were lives when you lacked belief in your ability to the point of hiding your talent. Finding that middle ground of inner faith took you out of this challenge. You often defined yourself through professions allowing you to exercise your full creative capacity, and as someone with an endless amount of vitality.

Saturn in 12th house

What was your main focus? Determining reliable beliefs. You consistently asked at crucial points during an incarnation: how can I find a true purpose that can withstand the test of time? Divine discontent reared its head when you let perfection get out of hand. You were repeatedly seeking control over your subconscious fears. This doesn't mean you were ruled by doubts. It's only saying that you were challenged to make your ideals visible. Escapism was the main cause of karmic woes. The antidote was greater flexibility in this area, that is, when you were determined not to repeat the same old lessons needing to be learned.  You didn't always relish assuming responsibility.

A shadow was guilt. Feeling too responsible for the problems of others. Knowing your boundaries in relationships was the ultimate challenge. Clear definition concerning love and feelings was preferred, but not necessarily accomplished.  When you found people that you could trust, or that believed in you, it was easier to tune into your deeper self. You had to understand that it was okay to make a mistake, and that nobody was perfect. This wasn't an easy lesson to learn. A major redefining occurred in lifetimes when you suffered a serious illness or setback. This caused you to take stock of circumstances and reflect. You found solace in overcoming dilemmas through a deepening intuition, and by reaching back for the courage to move ahead. Wisdom came through knowing which ideals to trust.

Uranus: Individuality, Goals, Uniqueness, Freedom

Uranus in Gemini

You had a tendency to think excitedly about future goals, indicates having Uranus in the sign Gemini. Your mind did switch to fast forward when talking about ideas and when getting an opportunity to learn new information. Communication was an arena that you knew well. You had unique insights into situations that often outreached others. It wasn't always easy to fit into traditional social norms as you often had a foot in unconventional thinking. You had laser-like perceptions that could cut through to original material quickly. You sometimes had a rebellious streak due to feeling unaccepted by the status quo.

Inventiveness was readily at your fingertips. Moving in more than one direction simultaneously made some heads spin, but delighted your own. You became aloof when not trusting others. Maintaining a sense of direction kept you from getting lost while experimenting with the multiple road maps you had operating and allowed you to better catch a relaxing breath in the midst of dealing with life's paradoxes.

Uranus in 2nd house

In what way were you unconventional? It was in regard to money and ownership. You had unusual tastes and unpredictable spending patterns. You were sometimes haphazard with finances. Your futuristic vision stimulated your values to change, and led to reinventing yourself. Your goals caused you to go beyond your comfort zones. Taking risks made you nervous, but there were occasions when you tempted fate simply for the experience. A sense of direction made you feel like you had secure footing. You liked independence when it came to knowing you could buy what you needed. You didn't like to be too dependent on others as a way of proving your personal autonomy. You were hard to figure out because you had an inclination to rebel against stability. Yet you tired of life in the fast lane eventually. Freedom to you meant knowing you could start over from scratch if necessary. It also meant earning a living in your own unique way. You were inventive in finding the resources you needed to ensure success and survival.

Neptune: Idealism, Romanticism, Intuition, Dreams, Escapism

Neptune in Libra

You believed in ideals that symbolized fairness and justice for all. Your idealism was awakened through the individuals believing in you, and the ones you admired. Talents in the arts were shown in several lives. You liked individuals possessing diplomacy and tact. Stress annoyed you if lasting too long. Denying there was any problems never resolved anything. Romance was a great calling. Love was almost a religion. You liked exotic partners and those willing to move quickly in an atmosphere of celebration. Falling in love with a lack of reality testing was not in your best interest.

A major challenge was in defining the boundaries between you and others. Guilt made you feel too responsible for a person's troubles. Wearing rose colored glasses painted false first impressions of individuals, letting you see what only you chose to perceive. There were times when you could see right into the soul of someone. When you were honest with yourself, you gravitated to the right peers and lovers. You wanted from the deepest part of your soul to get opportunities to express your gifts and to find a special someone that recognized the true you. You found transcendental growth through not trying to overly please others, and by having the faith to proceed ahead with your most determined effort.

Neptune in 10th house

In what way were you extra intuitive? It was in regard to knowing how to perform roles, whether it was in the area of occupation, parent or leader. You were sensitive about being seen as doing great work. Though this doesn't mean you always could tune into this information or desired to. Glamorous professions or ones that could potentially bring fame mesmerized you. The strange thing is that so did causes that paid little other than emotional satisfaction. This duality existed side by side in many of your lifetimes. Your idealism encouraged you to try things that many wouldn't go near.

A test was not being swayed by too many opposing loyalties. In the end, this led to dreadful consequences. Your spirituality had a way of solidifying your strength. What was the biggest challenge? It was how you reacted to failure or not meeting your own expectations. Drowning your sorrows in the wrong things wasn't the answer. Another side of this coin was being afraid to make your abilities visible, as in stage fright. Faith transformed your denial into greater self-acceptance, and not to ask others to be too perfect. You searched for a purpose that gave you a clear awareness of reality.

Pluto: Personal Power, Self-mastery, Rebirth, Loss, Passion

Pluto in Leo

Empowering yourself through creative risk-taking was a past lives tendency. A strong drive to make your plans ring true was forever pulsating through you. Finding pride through giving birth to ideas was a regular pattern. Cheering and promoting emanated from you loudly. You shined brightly with charisma when your accomplishments were recognized. Your enthusiasm often swept people into believing in you. Growing too attached to what you loved was an occasional downfall. Maintaining some objective distance from lovers and your creations made you easier to like.

There was a shadow. What was it? A fear of losing. When your skin toughened up enough to at least accept a small dose of rejection, you didn't suffer as much. You could fight endlessly to make others accept your proposals and deals. In the end, you had to decide which battles to wage. In some incarnations you actually lacked the confidence to be successful. Therefore, in this latter case you had to find ways to allow the talent to develop. Self-mastery was discovered through allowing authentic self-expression beam brightly from you. You found rebirth or a sense of renewal when listening to your heart, rather than the fear of your self-doubt.

Pluto in 12th house

How did you go about seeking personal empowerment? You followed your idealism as far as it would take you. Acting on faith made you suddenly stronger than you thought. A renewed sense of purpose was discovered through falling in love with a person or a cause. You had high expectations of life that weren't always easy to meet. Romance did take you out of the doldrums and onto higher plateaus. Your survival skills became activated when people were trying to take away your dreams. This was hands-off territory. Without hope, you were as lost as they came. You depended heavily on lovers and friends for inspiration. A powerful self-examination manifested when you lost a lover or your idealism was crushed. It was then that you had to rally all of your strength to move forward. A compulsive tendency to grow addicted to a lover, or to a substance, threw your life out of balance and got you to ask thought-provoking questions. A shadow frequently followed you into incarnations connected to losing yourself in various escapes. A lack of well-defined boundaries caused confusion in relationships. When you did some reality testing and got grounded, you found greater harmony.

Footnotes

You have already been introduced to the ten planets. Certain planetary pairs in your chart have a special relationship to one another due to particular angular distances separating them, known as aspects. You could say the two planets in an aspect travel and interact together along the same circuit. The following aspects will be listed under five types. Two are known as the soft aspects: the sextile (60 degrees) and trine (120 degrees). These two aspects generally point to more gentle themes, and therefore will describe past life trends that went very well for you. They indicate a lower voltage of electricity and produced less friction in your mind and through your actions. The planets involved in a trine or sextile are more likely to talk about areas where you flowed without much effort.

The more hard or intense aspects are the conjunction (0 degrees), square (90 degrees) and opposition (180 degrees). They required your best understanding in past lives. Planets that are part of an intense aspect you will notice often indicate lessons that must be learned, and follow us from one incarnation into another until we get them in balance. These higher voltage aspects don't mean the planets operated negatively, only that there was much more force behind them. "Soft" does not mean good and "intense" does not imply bad. It is often the more intense aspects that deepen our soul growth, that is, if we learn how to use their power wisely. If we don't it's like taking one step forward and three back.

It might be helpful to keep some keywords in mind for the aspects. The sextile represents Excitation and Eagerness. The planets in this aspect give clues as to how their energies worked in a stimulating way through you. The trine is a special Harmony. The two planets involved show you were confident of their interacting energies. The conjunction is where two planets are joined at the hip. There is a Fusion or powerful blending of these energies. The square can reveal where you encountered Friction. Pay special attention to these aspects in particular because they denote themes that are strong past patterns. Squares ask us to resolve their conflict by finding creative outlets. The opposition requires a Balancing act. It is similar to a seesaw. Gaining objective awareness about each planet is a key. Remember, it was usually the most intense aspects that stretched you the most in past lives.

Sun square Moon

Your needs regularly clashed with those of individuals closest to you. You often derived creative power from conflict. Expressing yourself forcefully made you feel confident. Holding back your talents limited your options. You were restless when outgrowing what a locality offered. You grew demanding when fighting to get your own way. Letting those you loved find their own leadership roles, was as vital as you courageously wearing the ones suiting you.

Moon conjunct Jupiter

It was in your soul to travel. Adventure was what gave you life. There was much relocating and going to foreign places. The student and gypsy didn't need much encouragement. Some thought you undependable. It's fact that you didn't like being tied down. You did become too expansive at times. A free-spirited psyche guided you. When you did manage to plant roots, you found your direction. It was your vision that others trusted. Ethics and honesty meant much to you. Knowledge was something you enjoyed. Keeping risks reasonable was wise.

Moon oppose Ascendant

Relationships had a way of making you take a good look at yourself. You needed to be careful in not trying to find an unrealistic sense of security in a lover. Your intuition sensed who were the best individuals to have in romance or friendship, that is, if you listened to it.

Sun trine Saturn

You liked things that came easily, without great effort. It's not that you lacked ambition, it's only that you didn't want to sweat if not needing to do so. If you lacked drive, it was usually because you didn't want to take the chance on failing. You often recovered quickly from setbacks due to not taking yourself too seriously. Your management style was gentle and not so controlling.

Sun oppose Neptune

Relationships have tested you as much or more than anything. Finding a soul mate was intoxicating, making you feel on top of the world. The trick was not denying your feelings. Falling in love with what appeared to be pretty and lovely wasn't always what was being hidden deeper down in the package. You were more successful in partnerships when learning to take a second look before committing. In some lives, it was not easy to be with anyone. You were pulled away by dreams. Pursuing what you saw as magical or inspirational felt like a calling. Over-sensitivity held back your talents, fearing people could see right through you.  Destiny seemed to bring you into the company of those able to help you reach the highest plateaus. Though being careful in whom you believed in proved wise.

Sun trine Pluto

You had good sense in saving and earning money.

Sun square Ascendant

Knowing when you were getting too pushy kept you out of trouble. When you lacked ego strength, it was due to little confidence. Lovers and friends when acting as cheerleaders got you going. Trying too hard to be liked didn't get the results you desired. You had great stamina when competing. Losing wasn't really an option when you were on top of your game. People trying to change you met with resistance. You were better liked when allowing those closest to you be themselves. You grew in strength when tuning into your inner power as it proved stronger than forcing the world to accommodate you.

Mercury square Uranus

Perceptions that cut right through pretense was part of your past. You possessed a sharp intellect. Stability didn't make you feel all that comfortable. When life got too predictable you grew uneasily bored. Sarcastic responses did cause tension between you and friends. Political ideologies that were quite different than the norm attracted you. A rebel streak made you an instigator for change. Being different just to stir things up wasn't always in your best interest. Your ideas usually got a strong reaction, whether for or against. Nervous breakdowns were not uncommon, due to a hectic pace or an unwillingness to slow down. When you gained objectivity and got grounded, you were quite a communicator. You had a great eye for shortcuts to success. It was skipping those nagging details that annoyed people.

Your determination for success usually developed slowly, and gained strength as you found your footing. In leadership positions, you had a keen eye for detail. Self-confidence was a challenge. You weren't the easiest person to work with until you gained patience. The more successful you became, the more generosity you showed toward others. It was when you stayed mentally cool during a crisis that others liked you.

Mars conjunct Saturn

Getting along with authority figures was usually a great test. Being assertive ran in the extremes. In some lives you were geared more toward not being very direct. Yet, in others, you were quite aggressive. Somewhere in the middle was where you needed to be! Fear either pushed you to move forward or stopped you frozen in your tracks. Learning how to take that first small step toward accomplishing something was perhaps the biggest challenge. Discipline and focus came after finding those interests that you deemed worthy of your time. You weren't sure how to deal with anger. But you felt better when getting things off of your chest. Trying to control others by making them fear you never brought them closer. Though when you wanted someone to be afraid of your bark rather than your bite, you knew how to do it.

Mars conjunct Pluto

People were in the habit of challenging your power. The trick was how to keep from escalating problems. You had your share of battle scars. Fighting for survival was a repeating pattern. Anger had a tendency to build over periods of time and then erupt. Your closest companions could sense when you were angry by your silence or moods. An intensity to take on a new challenge just for the adventure was another trait. You were forceful when wanting your own way. A passionate person you were. It didn't take long for others to see you made quite a formidable opponent due to a competitive streak. Patience was a key to self-mastery. Quiet contemplation helped you better get a handle on your intensity. You found out much about yourself when confronted by adversity. Seeking revenge sometimes haunted you. Letting go of the past was a slow process.

Mars square Node

When you veered too far from the right paths, life slapped you in the face. It was a wake up call. When walking your talk, clearly the conflict wasn't as abrupt. Living in extremes could occur before you knew what happened. You had a tendency to move fast instinctively, which sometimes worked beautifully. There were occasions when you had to retrace your steps due to lack of foresight. You caused many of your battles through unconscious actions that infuriated others. Though in all fairness, even when you were as clear as the brightest sunshiny day, enemies challenged your strength. There were lives where you withdrew from struggles. The burnout or exhaustion was replaced with a revitalized self. You had a knack for sensing danger on the horizon. This made you better prepared to defend yourself. A spiritual awakening changed you drastically making you desire to take a burning intensity to a higher level of expression.

You could be obstinate when holding onto your goals and personal preferences. Relationships were exhilarating. You liked friends and lovers that had a love of spontaneity.  Traveling on the mental and physical levels was what was stimulating. Freedom meant everything to you. Being confined under the watchful eyes of someone made you rebel. Your beliefs didn't really fit into the norm. Your unpredictability sure was exciting but not so productive. Maintaining a sense of direction was vital!

Jupiter oppose Ascendant

Life was perceived to be a wide-open adventure, at least that's the way you wanted it to be. Your self-confidence was greatly impacted by the type of partners you attracted. Unfounded belief sooner or later needed sober reality testing. Sometimes you believed too much in others. Balancing your own needs with that of a partner was the challenge. You thrived on the stimulation of relating to others.

Saturn conjunct Pluto

Watching extremes was what you needed to do. Compulsive urges for power sometimes took you to great heights and in some ways met with self-destruction. The wise use of power was the best road to success. You made long lasting pacts with partners. Trust was the big story. You enjoyed great loyalty, but then again you had to watch your back, as betrayal was inevitable. Why? It was usually related to people envious of your position in life. They wanted what you had.

Your expectations of others were tough. Becoming more lenient with loved ones was the way to bring them closer. Learning how to forgive kept relationships going longer.

Your contemporaries found you to be self-sufficient. When you discovered your life passions, it was a sense of freedom. Self-mastery came when feeling fully empowered.

Remembering to be flexible, especially in the midst of a crisis, gave you extra longevity. Wisdom was born through not worrying about what you couldn't change. Professional aspirations were intense, but so was performing any role that you took on. It was raw fear that kept you from acting responsible and interfered with your enjoying people, places or things. You added to your karma when imposing your will on others. You lessened it by tolerating differences. Satisfying the demands of society on one hand you didn't mind, but there was another side of the coin, which was the challenge in living out your most cherished aspirations. When you felt discounted or not appreciated, bitterness about having to pay your dues settled in. Keeping a positive attitude and not putting all of your eggs into being a workaholic pointed the way to harmony.

Uranus square Midheaven

Creating stability wasn't your first impulse as there was a tendency to be an agent of change. Unfortunately this made it difficult to achieve stability at home or out in the world. Putting this inner and outer struggle to rest brought harmony.  The challenge resided in being able to find ways to channel this forceful energy constructively. You anxiously wanted to receive support and approval for your goals. Breaking free from everyone else's expectations did point you in the right direction. Rebelling with no sense of purpose spelled disaster and left your life in pieces. Nobody could really say that you were someone without opinions. It was finding that middle ground of doing your own thing and not stepping on the rights of others that yielded fulfillment.

Planets in actuality never really move backward, but can appear to do so. This is referred to as retrograde motion, and as you will read has special past life meaning surrounding a particular planet's symbolism. The following are planets that were moving retrograde at your birth with a description as to how this played out for you in other incarnations.

Saturn retrograde:

It was a repeating pattern that you had much to learn regarding flexibility versus rigidity. These two opposites were a sore spot of contention. A tendency to get extremely focused when you enjoyed a role was a past pattern. You were happier when feeling in control of your life. Knowing when to show vulnerability and when to show a tough set of armor was wisdom indeed! Some thought you lacked ambition. What they didn't see working behind the scenes was your inner search to find professions and directions that seemed worth the effort. An inclination toward becoming a one-dimensional workaholic was a potential trap. Remembering that life was a multidimensional panorama made for happier times.  There was a need to steer clear of icebergs that brought depression and feelings of rejection.  Responding with courage to your commitments lessened your anxiety about them. It was in not letting fear keep you from the love and success you painfully wanted that you reached the highest of milestones.

Neptune Retrograde:

In some incarnations you were quite the poet, artist, entertainer or mystic. Perfection wasn't so nice to you in that divine discontent was troublesome, making it a challenge to be satisfied. When you were reasonable or grounded, life was simpler. Getting focused occurred after becoming inspired. There were times when you had premonitions of things to come. This either gave you great faith or was scary. The more you accepted your sixth sense, the easier it was to express outwardly. Another challenge was achieving discipline and utilizing reality testing. When you made a commitment not to run away from conflict, you found clarity. When letting your ideals guide you, life seemed more magical and full of inspiring symbols. Belief in a higher power sustained you through many tough challenges. Lovers were inspirational in stimulating your creativity. You liked the idea of a special someone with whom to share your dreams.
