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 Capricorn

You had a history of taking the roles you assumed quite seriously. One of your key impulses was determining what was worth your time and commitment. Your soul was normally quite sober about reincarnating knowing the work ahead would take great determination. The archetypal theme for your destiny was to be a leader.  A crucial lesson was to remember to delegate. You usually attracted responsibility easily so needed to be careful in not trying to do everything yourself. Being more inclusive took a load off of your shoulders.

If you grew too dependent on others, you had just as many problems. Then again, when you made the time for closeness, you were more fulfilled. A trickster was in becoming your own emotional island, hidden away from others. Usually this led to loneliness and feeling empty, no matter how great the outer success. Finding a way to balance the drive to climb the career ladder with having a happy home was a key to the city of happiness. Another way to say this was staying clear about self-reliance and showing you needed someone. You eventually valued a home as a sanctuary. Becoming recognized for accomplishments was a big deal. You grew through meeting individuals that encouraged you to go beyond your fears and letting them really get to know you. Also, it was when you encountered a job that challenged your inner strength that a little voice within tried to guide you with reassurance to the finish line.

Node in 1st house

What types of activities did you participate in that furthered your soul growth? When you took the initiative to courageously put your ideas into motion, life rewarded you. You found that waiting too long to make decisions cooled your interest quickly. A common concern was "who am I?" When you didn't panic and start looking for too much of yourself in relationships, you more easily managed to stay out of karma's way. What sorts of experiences motivated you? The freedom to act spontaneously. You had leadership qualities that people perceived to have a potential for being decisive and strategic. Your energy levels peaked when you were in a competitive mode. Indecision is what took the punch out of you. You were more fluid in movement and happier when not worrying too much about how others would respond to your actions. If you became too self-focused your fans didn't stay as loyal. Being assertive kept you on track as much as becoming too attacking made you seem like an unruly warrior. Somewhere always hiding in the caverns of your memory banks, were daredevil instincts mixed with a tinge of weighing your options. When using them wisely and appropriately, life was colored with a never-ending, adventure-filled story.

Sun: Creativity, Ego, Self-expression

Sun in Sagittarius:

The sign of Sagittarius, the archer, lighted the late-fall 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 Sagittarius is "I understand". You had a repeating pattern associated with a quest for expanded self-discovery. A thirst for knowledge hits that Sag arrow right on the mark. You often pulled adventurous ideas from your mental quiver. Looking for the roads less traveled spoke to the gypsy in you.

Archetypes for Sagittarius include the teacher, student, philosopher and even a clown. You looked for the ultimate meaning in things. The disappointment painted on your face showed when encountering shallowness in people, and especially that found in society's institutions.

The cosmic principle at work through many of your lives was to avoid commitments until ready to settle down. In other words you may have retired first and gone to work later. You were more fun to be around when you didn't become dogmatic. When you were truly able to agree to disagree, life was more fun. Your sense of humor kept the heavy stuff in perspective. A never-ending positive attitude allowed you to climb high mountains. Of course there were a few journeys that after halfway, you wished you hadn't begun. Blind faith did lead you astray. You found ego strength through developing a powerful belief system. The traveler in you was a strong theme. Past lives witnessed you covering many miles whether through the mental or physical levels. You have come into this life solarized through a sign promoting expansive thought. This was a theme that ran throughout your incarnations and was a key to self-mastery. It was when you took that leap of faith, fueled by clear reason that you accomplished great things.

Sun in 3rd house

You had solar power that went right through your mental processes in previous lives. It radiated out curiously and quickly, taking advantage of new learning opportunities. You enjoyed a sense of pride in your communication ability. People responded to your confident ideas. Your creative vitality became awakened when slipping out of the usual routines. Repetitive thinking bored you in a hurry. Changing circumstances delighted you.

If there was a challenge, it was getting distracted by walking in too many directions simultaneously. It's not that you couldn't do this successfully. You did at times lose your focus. Your perceptions were your key to opening doors of opportunity. Bouncing concepts off of the minds of others was stimulating. The exchange of information with peers or colleagues made you feel invigorated. Experiences that offered diversity were pleasing. Insightful ideas lived brightly through you. Your self-expression found inspiration through travel and education. A change of scenery was your way of keeping problems in perspective. The world responded positively to your energizing mental outlook, but less favorably when you seemed scattered. Channeling nervous energy into productive outlets was rewarding. You found fulfillment in influencing positive change in others. 

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 1st house

You had intuitive power to know how to fulfill your identity in past lives. The trick was using it! Wanting to help others sometimes was given priority over your own needs. You instinctually knew how to initiate actions to preserve your sense of security. People did at times see you as impatient or erratic. An inner restlessness caused you to act impulsively. Your emotional intensity was evident to others. Moods could get the best of you. Patience was a test. Being too self-focused was another challenge. Keeping your dependency needs balanced was a key to success.

An inner feeling to be free and spontaneous many times outweighed your need for stable roots. Then again, that there were lives you wanted to know there was someone to come home to. You liked to quickly express your adventurous imagination.

Ascendant: Persona, Identity, Calling Card

Capricorn on Ascendant:

With the sign Capricorn as your past lives Ascendant, a serious spirit colored your incarnations. You were often driven to succeed. The work ethic was your middle name. Your past lives attracted much responsibility.  Another theme was when you were a hermit. Solitude was a desirable thing. People perceived you to be good at whatever you took the time to learn. You were fond of traditions that gave you a feeling of stability and meaning. You were very much defined through the roles through which you chose to express yourself. If you became too attached to success you suffered. Learning flexibility made life easier to accept, and you were more fun for others to know. You had a tendency to be a workaholic. It means you were driven and didn't know when to stop. You achieved great things through sheer determination.  Patience was something you usually mastered. Giving into a fear of failure was a repeating challenge. You had a tendency to freeze up when needing to express feelings. Depression was a challenge. You had a natural inclination to feel responsible when something failed. You enjoyed life more when you accepted your own limitations, and developed positive thinking. You gazed out at the world through eyes hoping to have your tenacious efforts rewarded. It was always a key to happiness for you to flow with the changes that life sent your way.

The Quest

Mercury: Communication, Perceptions and Logic

 Mercury in Scorpio

You were Mercurialized at birth through the sign of Scorpio pointing to probing mental impulses in past lives. Your communication style was reflective and at times very passionate.

It wasn't easy to read your mind as your words hid your feelings. An introspective side could find you very quiet. You sometimes purposely stayed silent to deepen your contemplation on a situation. There were instances you did this to manipulate and even punish others. You didn't always forgive real easily. When you let go of the past, it tended to free up your creative energy. You could be decisive in a flash. Indecision was more a matter of not wanting to tip your playing cards before you were good and ready. Privacy was something you guarded.

You worked ferociously on projects. Business sense was there if needed. You liked to know what was going on beneath the surface of things. Metaphysical processes intrigued you. When you managed to figure out how to redirect negative energy into the positive, you found great strength. Your mental outlook was brighter when you found like-minded allies, and when you let your insights guide you to opportunities for exhilarating rebirths of spirit.

Mercury in 3rd house

Your perceptions moved excitedly, giving you instant scans of whatever you encountered. Sometimes you wished you didn't get so bombarded by so many stimuli. You curiously looked out at the world anxious to explore anything even resembling an information highway. Your mind was always set to the ready-alert position to anticipate the next move to be made. Communication was a way of seeking greater stimulation. Your insights into a wide variety of situations came in handy. You regularly impressed people with your interesting way of getting a message across.

You didn't like being told there was one acceptable way of doing things. Activities that gave you plenty of diversification were enjoyable. Repetitive routines made you uneasy. Some accused you of leaving jobs undone due to lack of focus. You excelled in creating shortcuts, even if once in a while you left out a few tedious details.

Venus: Relationships, Values, Comfort.

Venus in Sagittarius

With the love goddess adorning you through the sign of Sagittarius at birth, you came from past lives where you repeatedly found love in places far from birth. Many people experienced you as symbolizing free-spiritedness and adaptability. Your social instincts were shaded with a hue of a talkative, entertaining storyteller, yet there was an unmistakably deep philosopher peering out from deep within you.

The ideal soul mate could change course with you in a flash, setting sails for seas of high adventure. You were attracted to lovers with openness to new learning and with a romantic heart. You liked those willing to forgive you when you put your foot in your mouth. There was an innocence about you that either made your friends like you or think you too naive. You often tempted fate with a reckless decision, and there were times when you relied on luck a little too much. It must be said, just for the record, you often got away with taking risks due to your belief that the universe would make you a winner.

You liked learning and showing your intelligence. The counselor and advisor in you made you popular. You usually had an above average understanding of law. Ethics and honesty were valued. When you were tolerant of belief systems outside of your own turf, you did expand your horizons in very beneficial ways. You saw yourself as more of a citizen of the world than belonging to any particular nationality or village. There was loyalty to your friends and lovers. You didn't like to plant roots unless it was absolutely necessary. Your romantic fulfillment depended heavily on linking with like-minded, fun-loving souls, with one bag always packed for that next exhilarating odyssey.

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 Libra

What would a warrior planet in the airy sign of Libra mean regarding your past lives? You welcomed those moments when you were decisive. The agony of weighing options played upon your consciousness heavily. It was easier to please yourself than others. Your initiating impulse was lit when you were inspired to act by a lover, or when you were pursuing to own beautiful things. A competitive streak was awakened when you felt others were taking advantage of you. You expected to be treated with fairness.

Your identity was attached to finding a lover and soul mate as part of the same package. Romantic individuals had a way of getting you to slow down and smell the roses. Your pace vacillated abruptly from very fast to very slow. This was due to forgetting to rest, so eventually you dropped from exhaustion. There were lives where you learned how to pace yourself. You were at your best when finding the paths that presented you with enough stress to test your mettle. You didn't really like to prolong angry disputes as it made you feel uneasy. Relationships played a major role in that friends, lovers and children were the catalysts to cause you to act courageously. When you moved with diplomacy and perceptive awareness, you were quick to see how to achieve the harmony you so anxiously were seeking.

Mars in 5th house

You took the initiative when it came to showing the world what you were capable of doing. Your adrenaline got pumping through pursuing your creative dreams. A competitive side shot forth when you felt someone was trying to outshine you in a field of expertise. Fighting to defend that which you felt a sense of pride in was a repeating theme. What made you become territorial? When people infringed upon your freedom to express yourself. You became as loud as a lion in roaring for enough room to walk your own talk as you saw fit. With a warrior's passion you fought for what you believed to be in your best interest. Your ego did betray you sometimes, leading you into unnecessary skirmishes.

Impatience came when you wanted your own way as of yesterday. People liked you more when you maintained awareness of their needs as well. Taking risks wasn't always bad timing. As a matter of fact, in some lives you were adept at rushing wonderfully into ventures that panned out handsomely in your favor. Assertiveness was on automatic redial! You didn't have to reach far to be a straight shooter. If anything, you were asked to back off and let others make their own decisions. A forceful and passionate drive stirred others into action, either for or against you. Anger usually resulted when individuals either paid little attention to you, or tried to keep you from being all you could be. 

Jupiter: Knowledge, Expansion, Philosophy, Travel

Jupiter in Gemini

Having Jupiter, the planet of good fortune, in the sign of Gemini indicates you were enthusiastic about new mental growth. You were a restless type with a yearning to share information with others. You chose to expand your potential through exploring diverse subject matter. Knowledge was godly in your opinion. It was in your makeup to read and fill your mind with new facts past the saturation point. You did get so lost in following various paths simultaneously that you lost focus from time to time. Being confined to any space for long periods made you antsy to move. You brought luck your way by being open to alternative approaches. Opportunities abounded when you stayed positive in thought. Teaching and advising showed off your intellect. Travel made you feel more like a citizen of a bigger part of the world. You dreamed often of satisfying a quest for new information highways. Quenching the thirst of a philosophical hunger to understand life from every way imaginable was part of your past repertoire. You sometimes thought so fast that you missed details. With practice you could slow down just enough to pick up what you dropped while hurriedly moving on to the next experience. When maintaining a broad perspective you created an atmosphere radiating breathless, stimulating options.

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 Scorpio

Ambition came through you powerfully, says your past lives history, with Saturn placed in the intense sign of Scorpio. This was in reality true after you thoroughly investigated the various potentials you possessed. Discipline was the natural outcome in being willing to make a commitment to whatever you were trying to master. Summoning the strength from within sometimes miraculously occurred when you needed it the most. Your greatest fear was failing to be a success. When you became clear this was mostly due to your worry over disappointing others, you found a renewed sense of freedom. In other words, your fear lessened because you chose to pursue your own dreams.

A karmic shadow was to either utilize extreme force to get your own way, or to run completely away from your power. A clear sense of empowerment brought an incredible rebirth and fulfillment. You often defined yourself through professions that allowed you to reach self-mastery, and as someone unwilling to retreat from a challenge.

Saturn in 4th house

What was your main focus? It was with your sense of security. Knowing which experiences were truly buttering your bread with self-preservation was a driving force. You consistently asked at crucial points during an incarnation: how can I establish deep roots? Home gave you a feeling of control and being needed. Rigidity regarding a fear of vulnerability sometimes produced 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 were a private sort, and sometimes too much so. People sensed you were conscientious, but not openly warm as a rule. You expected dedication and could reach out to help those you really cared about.

A shadow was either a fear of being alone or a dread of getting close to someone. Finding the midpoint between these two extremes was a challenge. Clear definition of emotional boundaries was a challenge. You really valued privacy. You needed to learn not to take family and your most trusted allies for granted. A major redefining that was associated with becoming inwardly strong and self-reliant occurred regularly in lifetimes. A location that offered you prosperity was sought. Wisdom came in recognizing how much responsibility for others was reasonable to accept.

Uranus: Individuality, Goals, Uniqueness, Freedom

Uranus in Cancer

You had a tendency to react emotionally about future goals, indicates having Uranus in the sign Cancer. Your mind did switch to fast forward when you sensed how to preserve your sense of security. Emotional roller coaster rides are what bothered you the most. Sometimes you purposely disrupted your own comfort zones just for the heck of it. Then again, you enjoyed a home providing peace of mind.

Inventiveness found roots in your intuition. You found that new ideas came when you had time for private contemplation. It was important where you lived. You launched refreshing perceptions when living in a locale rightly aligned with your intellect. Maintaining a sense of direction allowed you to feel inwardly safe, and outwardly confident that you were a step away from greeting the excitement of new potentials.

Uranus in 7th house

In what way were you unconventional? That's an easy one, relationships! You were attracted to the individualists and free thinking types. It was the edge of unpredictability you liked in others. A futuristic vision led you into exhilarating connections with people who inspired you to reinvent yourself. Your goals were interspersed with the expectations of others. This did cause you a certain degree of anxiety in trying to please you and someone else. You relied on allies to help stimulate you to fulfill what you set out to do. A sense of direction made you more decisive. It provided a sense of balance as well. You were uneasy without mental calmness and clear objectivity. Freedom meant being treated as an equal. Without your personal autonomy, you were a ship lost at sea. As a matter of fact, you then attracted self-centered individuals. Progressive partners appealed to you. Though when either you became too rebellious, or your partners too eccentric, relationships were stormy. Compromising too much of your own needs didn't work either. You liked exciting lovers able to perceive your unique qualities. Being swept off of your feet by surprises was welcomed. Becoming exhausted from the fast lane made you call timeout. You were inventive in finding interesting partners.

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 5th house

In what way were you extra intuitive? It was in regard to creativity. You had a playful imagination that kept you feeling young. Falling in love with life occurred when you discovered your true directions. You became mesmerized with acting out different roles. It was as though you felt entitled to success. This doesn't mean you were always overflowing with confidence. There was plenty of energy to explore people and occupations that called to you. Your idealism was forever pumping your heart to follow its dreams. Falling in love was a high.

A test was picking the right lovers. You didn't always exercise the best judgment when it came to romance. When you had a clear idea about what you wanted, you did manage to come out okay for the most part. Your risk-taking was exciting when feeling the inspiration of your beliefs. Though if you lost sight of reality you got into trouble. Your spirituality was strengthened by your will power. You welcomed situations that let you measure just how strong were your convictions. What was the biggest challenge? It was in knowing how to pick yourself up after a setback. A loss of ego strength made you feel disoriented. Regaining your composure was as essential as connecting once again to your determination. Faith transformed your denial into a renewed sense of wholeness. You searched for a purpose able to live up to your highest expectations of life and yourself.

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 6th house

How did you go about seeking personal empowerment? It was through cleverly adapting to new situations and being prepared for the inevitable. A renewed sense of purpose was discovered through finding the skills that released your true capabilities. You were thorough, but sometimes perfection got the best of you. Being a critic came naturally. You needed to tone down unrealistic demands. A powerful self-examination manifested after a personal setback in the areas of love, health or career. A compulsive tendency to worry got you to ask thought-provoking questions. A shadow frequently followed you into incarnations connected to being afraid to have others see your faults. When you got over this concern, you were more spontaneous.

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.

Mercury trine Uranus

A vision for the future you naturally possessed. It was exhilarating to step out of the everyday routines. You liked variety. Disruptive people and sudden change were not that welcome. You liked new experiences that didn't make you extremely nervous. Travel and being exposed to different learning environments opened your eyes to exciting paths. You had a fondness for new trends as long as they didn't stamp out the past that you valued.

Mercury square Pluto

You had a mind that could slice through any problem, like a laser beam. Mental intensity followed you into your incarnations. Sooner or later, you were faced with your shadows. Staring them down was liberating, running from them was limiting. You could be ruthless about defending your ideas. Whatever work you performed, it was thorough. A passion for your favorite subjects and pastimes caused you to accomplish great things. When you didn't stubbornly resist those wanting to know the real you, your relationships deepened immensely.

Mars square Uranus

If you are reading this one you liked a fast pace in most incarnations, that is, unless you burned out. Taking your time wasn't the first impulse. Leaping ahead was! You pushed your ideas until others listened. You did run for your life a few times when the average contemporary had enough of your revolutionary, maybe even hedonistic ways. There were lives where you channeled this energy powerfully into bold inventiveness. Yes, you were trend setting. Your friends may have found you eccentric, but never boring. You liked those with minds that thought in unique ways, like your own. Rules and conformity irritated you. A revolutionary mentality caused you to detest restrictive authority figures. When you did learn patience, it helped you make less enemies and to hold onto your closest allies. Surprises made life worth living.

Mars conjunct Neptune

Marching forward with being motivated by ideals played a part in your past. You were a seeker of symbols that inspired a drive to rise above your problems. Emotional intensity was often strong. Causes drew you away from everyday norms to fight for a larger belief system. When you grew weary from the challenges of the world, you occasionally sought refuge. You were a romantic that needed to be careful when charging recklessly forward into love or toward ideals. If you were lost in escapism, you lost your sense of direction. You were at your best when not so disillusioned by life's ups and downs. Guilt caused you to feel too responsible for others. Anger was either blurted out instantaneously or hidden deep within your feelings. When being more direct, you acted with greater clarity for the most part.

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.

Mars oppose Midheaven

Self-confidence came with each little success. It was the pressure in trying to meet the expectations of others that made you uneasy. You had a competitive side but it needed a lot of encouragement to come forward. There was a bit of performance anxiety. You made a good leader when you didn't doubt yourself. Knowing when to push others and when to back off brought out the best in those you tried to help. You were a late bloomer but this doesn't mean you didn't accomplish your serious plans. Fighting those in authority wasn't always wise. Then again, being a doormat for others grew old real fast. You were the most content when finding those skills that released the intensity of your potential. Settling into a home environment that energized your identity and one that made you feel needed, were the grounding forces.

Jupiter trine Neptune

Your ideals are what you preached. It was living up to them that wasn't easy. You were fortunate in that life often embraced your dreams. You liked romantic escapes. Falling in love was a wonderful high. You did need to be careful in trusting others.

Saturn oppose Midheaven

Being a leader either made you feel important, or burdened you with responsibility. Trusting your ability helped. Balancing dependency needs in relationships was vital to your happiness. Being leaned on heavily for support, and being a leaner happened about equally as often. There was a fragile ego when it came to failing. Rejection could be devastating. Accepting help was smart from those closest to you when life wasn't delivering what you expected. You found strength in acknowledging your mistakes. Acting responsibly was a demand you took to heart. Letting others take the lead in their areas of expertise added harmony.

Uranus square Neptune

An inner restlessness to pursue your dreams occurred throughout some incarnations. It wasn't easy to concentrate on the present unless you had clear vision. The mental and emotional sides of you were in conflict, especially when you experienced guilt. Integrating intense emotions and a strong intellect took patience. Exerting your independence required faith when there were people standing in your way. There were occasions when you too easily sacrificed your goals and ideals to please others. Balancing your intuition with a realistic assessment of what was truly possible was the big challenge.

Uranus oppose Node

You knew that maintaining your freedom was your lifeline. If you became comfortably numb, no longer caring about your personal autonomy, something within you died. Then it took meeting a rebellious soul or having an experience awaken this side of you again. If you went to the extreme of only serving yourself, it was hard for anyone to get real close to you. There was an inventor and innovator pulsating lively inside, just waiting for the chances to be discovered. You didn't fit into traditional institutions unless making great adjustments. This isn't saying there were no instances when your gifts didn't benefit a mainstream society. You had trouble waiting for others to catch up to your thinking! A revolutionary spirit dominated your mind. Your gift was great vision. A shadow was lack of foresight when you moved with reckless abandonment. It took courage and insight to make this very special dimension of your consciousness work in your favor.

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.

Neptune square Node

Your ideals had to be in alignment with your major life purposes or you were never at ease. Perfection was a driving energy. Dealing with everyday reality was tough. You needed structure but defied it. The exception being when you found the life directions that gave you inspirational focus. Irrational fears sometimes kept you from showing your ability. Developing sound reasoning powers was as essential as having the faith to pursue your dreams.

Neptune oppose Midheaven

Letting your ideals be known was a challenge. It was either authority figures holding you back or your own insecurities. When people did believe in you, it made your faith grow immensely in your potentials. Ambition found birth in your intuition. In some respects, you gave much more than you received. Knowing your boundaries in partnerships was another test.

Pluto trine Midheaven

Keeping your head in the middle of a crisis you did quite well. People sometimes erroneously thought you to be a doormat or to lack ambition. They didn't see the inner resolve and confidence that was staring them in the face.  Empowerment came through a strong inner sense of your strength, and a relentless tenacity that wouldn't quit.

Midheaven square Node

If you are reading this one, then you don't need to be reminded again that your most serious focuses always became the bread and butter of fulfillment. When not challenged, an inner conflict tormented you. Your intuition made a pact with reality that you would work hard as long as you got to play. Balancing the needs of profession and family were quite a challenge. You wanted both in a big way. Pleasing each tore you apart if not staying true to your own soul growth. People took notice of your accomplishments, sometimes giving you more recognition than you gave yourself. Making peace with the past freed you in the present and launched the magic of the future.

Making people guess what you were thinking caused confusion. Patience was at your fingertips. Resisting change cost you an opportunity or two. When you could forgive and let go, people liked you.

4th House: Home, security, nurturing, roots.
Libra on 4th house:

You preferred peace and quiet at home. You didn't handle stress so good, as it was hard on your delicate nervous system. There were times you made concessions just to make conflict go away.

Finding the faith in your ability created opportunities.

5th House: Self-expression, creativity, confidence, romance, risk-taking.

Skipping over details was a trait.

7th House: Relationships, marriage, partnerships, social awareness.
Cancer on 7th house:

Your relationships were deep and hard to forget. A search for emotional security influenced your partnerships. You had to watch out for being too dependent on others or someone relying excessively on you. Trying to live your potentials out through someone else backfired.  When you did find a compatible lover, emotions were still intense due to the passion aroused. Working as a team meant a lot to you.

Emotional upheavals did distract you from your goals. You were very sensitive about receiving emotional support. People who showed they cared about you won your loyalty.

8th House: Power, joint resources, rebirth, passion, self-mastery.
Gemini on 8th house:

You had the mind of a detective. A love of research and probing beneath the surface of things was shown. A fierce negotiator was another dimension about you.  Deceiving others to hide the truth got you into trouble now and then. A crafty problem-solver was something else in which you excelled. It's when you outsmarted yourself in trying to use your intelligence to misguide others that you were seen as untrustworthy. Trust was a key in defining just how close you would let someone get to you. A compulsive need to have others be loyal to you, did get the best of you now and then. You were the happiest with lovers when there were few big secrets between you. Spending time alone was a way to recharge your mental and emotional batteries. When you weren't afraid to face your shadows, your creative mental power was released.

9th House: travel, learning, philosophy, knowledge, optimism.
Taurus on 9th house:

A pragmatic philosophy about life in general was typical of you. This doesn't mean you were never a rebel. But even then it was because your sense of security or comfort was threatened. Travel relaxed your psyche and helped you zoom in on the larger picture. You appreciated people who communicated with a sensible logic. You had a talent in being able to make smooth transitions in the midst of difficult circumstances. You abhorred people without ethics. Your long-range plans were well structured. Sometimes a tendency to refuse to change course created friction, and caused lost opportunities. Getting too attached to your own belief system made you harder to live with. When you let go of narrow vision in favor of a wider acceptance, you were more popular.

10th House: Professions, ambition, leadership, focus, commitments.
Aries on 10th house:

An impatience to be successful colored past incarnations. You fought your way to the top on several occasions. Leadership roles released a ferocious desire to effect change.

You were more often than not a type "A" personality in the work arena. Authority figures either liked your independent ways or were annoyed by them. You often questioned the authority of others, with angry outbursts not far behind. Discipline was a challenge. Your focusing power reached great heights when you found those areas that fully captured your attention. Hurrying up to get a job done never served you that well. When you learned to finish what you started, a higher or more refined type of self-expression emanated from you. Having the wisdom to move with directness, accompanied by insight, served you better than haphazardly following a whim.

11th house: Goals, individuality, freedom, inventive, progressive, unique.
Pisces on 11th house:

You proceeded toward your goals guided by your intuition Of course, this doesn't mean you always listened to that little voice within. Doubting your instincts produced confusion as much as too compliantly following an unrealistic whim was a ticket to nowhere. Don't despair. You had your share of success within a vision that was light years out in front of your contemporaries. It was bringing your ideals into visibility that others could actually see that was the challenge. When you didn't let your emotions cloud your perceptions there was much smooth sailing.  Your energy levels could change quickly due to unpredictable moods. It wasn't easy to express your unique talents. It took great courage to rise above the crowd and let your most spontaneous voice be heard.

12th house: Idealism, intuition, escape, faith, beliefs.
Aquarius on 12th house:

Your truths were your own inventions. You couldn't live this any other way without feeling shallow. People either admired this trait or thought you quite the arrogant one. When you had your dreams shattered your idealism and individuality became waterlogged. You sometimes felt like a fish out of water when your goals seemed as elusive as a seductive empty Sahara Desert mirage. A loss of direction was maddening. So this is when you did whatever it took to try to get back to a state of normalcy. This was accomplished by either abandoning the past or embracing a new future. The latter worked faster and better. You intuitively knew in advance, certain events were going to occur. This was either met with your acceptance or denial. You weren't spontaneously ready to acknowledge your visions. Though with time, the faith did come to put into practice what you knew to be true. Your belief system was somewhat eccentric. You had a challenge in keeping your ideas grounded. You had changeable and complicated emotions. Gaining mental objectivity was the test.

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.

Jupiter retrograde:

It was a repeating pattern that you had a challenge in not foolishly believing in the wrong things or people. When you were on target and accurately assessing situations, you were a dynamo of efficiency and inspiration. Another challenge was in the area of confidence. When you lost faith it took the wind out of your sails. The search for an expansive enough vision was an innate drive.  People didn't respond as well if you preached dogma or grew too judgmental. When you kept an open mind there was less friction.  You had a capacity to embrace a positive outlook, that is, if self-doubt didn't seep into your thinking. Another challenge was running too fast to where the grass might be greener, running away from facing problems. The optimist in you needed to know limits. When you walked with commonsense and put your ideas into worthwhile actions, the world had no choice but to eventually give into your needs for self-discovery.

Uranus Retrograde:

It was a repeating pattern that you had unique goals, reserved just for you. When you didn't do this, life lacked meaning. When you solely served your own purposes this caused quite a ruffle in the feathers of those you loved and cared about. Finding the midstream worked the best regarding these two extremes of sacrifice and doing your own thing. Your ideas sent shock waves at times when individuals or collective bodies didn't like the message. You did sometimes tap into a collective trend before it became in vogue. It did make you nervous about how you might be judged. Many ideas were kept internalized until you were sure the coast was clear and safe enough to present the notions. Were you ever more outwardly disruptive? For sure! This usually occurred when you were so aroused by injustices or thinking restrictions imposed upon you. There was a need to perceive with fore thought, which fights were worth the struggle. Being different just to be different or starting conflicts with no purpose, were ways you took many steps in the wrong direction. Listening to cues from the universe on which directions promised accelerated growth was wise. Your vision of the future was as strong as the ability to remember what gave your imagination an electrifying sensation. Patience took effort!

Pluto retrograde:

It was a repeating pattern to know your way around Intensity Street. In some lives you were overpowering. In others, you didn't usurp enough power. Having a sense of empowerment was crucial to reaching self-mastery. Survival instincts you possessed. Being emotionally intense was a past pattern. Learning to communicate your feelings made you easier to understand. Self-honesty was liberating but it was a test to admit your faults. Defensiveness had to be conquered.  You didn't believe in going halfway when exploring a subject. Compulsive lusts for riches and leadership sometimes brought out your worst manipulative traits. You were happier when feeling inwardly secure and having allies that you could trust. You had to beware of an urge to win at all costs. You found rebirth through not fearing your own shadows, and being big enough not to run from those you loved. You processed experiences long after they occurred, revisiting the past often, healed when able to embrace forgiveness.
