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 Aries

You had a history of making a bold statement about your identity. One of your key impulses was to move with a sense of urgency. Your soul was anxious to reincarnate to get on with the work you needed to accomplish. The archetypal theme for your destiny was to be a spontaneous initiator. A crucial lesson was patience, with a capital "P". You got so self-absorbed you forgot to pay attention to others. It was difficult for you to focus long on objectives that didn't capture your attention. Discipline was something you worried about halfway into a project.

You needed to have a me-focus when you gave too much of yourself away to others. A trickster was excessively trying to be a crowd-pleaser. This caused you to get lost in indecision. Finding a way to balance the scales of me versus them was vital to your happiness. Partnerships played a major role in your incarnations. When you fell in love, it made you feel alive. Your adrenaline poured through you forcefully, making you want to be a doer. But when you were unhappy in love, or got rejected, you became confused. It was then that you had to muster the courage to walk forward. Actions with deeper awareness illuminated your life directions and pointed the way to harmony.

Node in 4th house

What types of activities did you participate in that furthered your soul growth? Developing your intuition was vital to staying clear about the choices that confronted you. If you grew too controlling, your key objectives often stayed just beyond your reach. A common concern was "how can I best establish a sense of security? When you reflected before taking action on a well-conceived plan, you managed to stay out of karma's way. What sorts of experiences motivated you? Finding the right home that protected your privacy, and even symbolized your beliefs, was an energizing force. You liked the feeling of witnessing the first step toward a new milestone. Preserving certain rites and rituals brought out feistiness. Your energy levels peaked when beginning in a new direction. Becoming comfortably stuck in the same roles is what stunted your growth. Fueling your life with greater emotional closeness and with ties that made you feel needed, added extra meaning. When you let yourself trust someone special, this kept you on track as much as hiding in isolation depressed your mental disposition. Somewhere always hiding in the caverns of your memory banks was a nurturing instinct mixed with a tinge of being a loner. When using this wisely and perceptively, life was colored with a greater wholeness, and a sense of feeling connected.

Sun: Creativity, Ego, Self-expression

Sun in Libra:

The sign of Libra, symbolized by the scales, lighted the early-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 Libra is "I balance". You had a repeating pattern in dealing with the dilemma of figuring out opposing opinions. The fallout that came afterwards was indecision in that each choice looked just as good as the other.

Archetypes for Libra include the diplomat, lover and artist. You often got a chance to mediate disputes in previous lives. Greater happiness came through decisive action.

The cosmic principle at work through many of your incarnations was to seek approval from others. It was only when this became compulsive that you got into trouble. Another key theme was partnerships. Relationships played a big role. Finding a sign mate was a quest, and in some lives you felt incomplete without one. When you didn't look for too much of yourself in someone else, your relationships yielded greater harmony. The arts were an outlet for your creative impulses and awakened your senses. You found ego strength through falling in love and expressing passionate ideas. Though not a fighter at heart, you did make war when you wanted to defeat a competitive adversary. You have come into this life solarized through a sign promoting gracefulness and refined social instincts. This was a theme that ran throughout your incarnations and was a key to self-mastery. When you had the wisdom to think for yourself and yet hear the voices of those who loved you, your days were less lonely.

Sun in 9th house

You had solar power lifting your adventurous mind to explore alternative realities in previous lives. A restless drive to travel far from birth was a repeating pattern. Your creative vitality was insatiable when you were intent on making your ideals come true. Communication and education were favorite interests. You were a good debater and could argue a point until others became exhausted. Pride in your beliefs was a trait. You were admired for your relentless search for truth and a broad vision.

If there was a challenge it was becoming too dogmatic and judgmental. When you became too narrow in scope, people weren't as fond of you. When you maintained a more eclectic approach, you were a real hit. The student and teacher shined brightly through you. It was your capacity to motivate others out of their doldrums that won you accolades. Travel was one way you kept your mind entertained and growing. It took you longer than many to learn discipline. It's only that you didn't want to be tied down to commitments that kept you trapped. Your self-expression developed quickly when you finally found your piece of the pie. You liked having a sense of humor. You found fulfillment when seeing your ideas gaining acceptance, and being true to your philosophical beliefs.

Moon: Sense of Security, Roots, Feelings

Moon in Taurus:

You were lunarized at birth through the sign of Taurus. What does this say about your past life tendencies? An instinctual desire to find emotional stability typified many of your incarnations. The family ancestries in past lives were linked by a motivation to build reliable avenues that paved the way for a steady future. You believed in the power of money. This isn't saying you were necessarily ruled by your material desires. Only that you had a healthy respect for wealth. Business sense followed you from one life to another.

Your inner landscapes were colored by a love of serenity and beauty. Stress didn't fit into your plan. This was especially true of your home as you went out of your way to ensure its tranquility. Artistic and musical ability was shown regularly. Family members saw you as a stabilizing force.

Inertia was a challenge. More frequently when this manifested it was due to a loss of hope. A fear of losing what you owned is what got your adrenaline pumping. Sometimes you were accused of being possessive. When you fell in love with someone, it's true that you wanted it to be for keeps. When people showed they valued you, it made you feel on top of the world. Your subconscious called to you to pace yourself slowly, taking the time to enjoy the moment.

Moon in 3rd house

You had intuitive power when it came to seeing what was coming around the corner in past lives. Anticipation was the name of the game in your opinion. You instinctually knew which bend in the road might be the trickiest, which gave you a greater sense of security. Emotional confusion blocked your clarity. When the dust settled, you had very keen insights. The trick was being able to objectively distance yourself from situations.

New learning environments were a special delight. Your nerves could be delicate when you were in a contemplative time period. Moods were changeable, with the good news being it didn't take long to climb to a better one. You had a very curious and restless mind.  An inner feeling to adapt to new circumstances made life easier. You liked change as long as it didn't take all of your favorite escapes away. You weren't always focused or disciplined. You felt pleased with experiences that offered plenty of mental stimulation. Variety was the keyword.

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 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 9th house

Your perceptions moved expansively, snowballing, as you became more excited about the future. Life was a series of adventures in your perspective. You eagerly looked out at the world, in search of new terrain to travel. Your mind was restless and full of senseless wonder. A student of life your were. Teaching what you knew became a favorite pastime. Education helped fulfill many of your dreams. Foreign places and people stimulated you to think in bigger ways. You grew tired of routines quickly. People didn't admire a tendency in you to lack concentration.

Communication excited you. Sharing ideas with others got you to think more creatively. Your beliefs were strong. When not so dogmatic people liked you more. You were not one to usually lose sleep over the details. You had a nose for the big things and had a great sense of direction. Though you did need to watch out for becoming too scattered and overconfident. Situations better be growth promoting if they wanted you to stay. Maintaining a positive attitude was a must.

Venus: Relationships, Values, Comfort.

Venus in Libra

With the love goddess adorning you through the sign of Libra at birth, you came from past lives where you enjoyed your fair share of very romantic lovers. Many people experienced you as symbolizing gracefulness and fairness. Your social instincts were shaded with a hue of diplomacy and tact.

The ideal soul mate was someone with a willingness to celebrate milestones and a heart for romantic atmospheres. You were attracted to lovers not afraid of sensuality and believing in equality. People leaned on your insights to help them see both sides of a dilemma. It was your own jams that were the hardest to figure out. Indecision often was the result of trying to please too many demanding individuals.

You worked well with the public. You enjoyed the arts and sometimes pursued this avidly. It is evident that you thrived on the stimulation derived from partnerships. You could think on your own, but it was that boost you got from shared brainpower that turned your intellect on. Your romantic fulfillment depended greatly on being with someone that had a willingness to listen, and at the same time wasn't hesitant to act on new opportunities.

Venus in 9th house

You were adventurous when interacting socially, never really feeling you had met a stranger. There was a sense of wonder about you, causing people to think you a dreamer. You did venture beyond safe home borders to test the waters of the unknown. You were a positive force in relationships, igniting others to act on faith. Outgoing sorts attracted you as much as your friendly style brought them to you. Meeting lovers or friends through travel occurred often. Foreign lands called strongly to you. In a way you felt like a citizen that didn't really belong to one nationality or region of the world. When you found allegiance to a belief system, you professed its rights and rituals openly.

Some accused you of not following through on your promises, while you explained this as being distracted by so many roads in front of you. Your peers experienced you to be idealistic and fun. They themselves usually were spontaneous in their own right if they had hopes of keeping up with you. Friends usually had a similar philosophical outlook or at least could tolerate the differences. Delayed gratification wasn't your first impulse.  You needed to watch out for investing heavily on get rich schemes, sometimes winning, sometimes losing. You could be generous to a fault. A balanced perspective regarding limits had to be learned. You were attached to freedom. When individuals acknowledged your need to roam you felt valued. Helping those you loved achieve greater self-confidence meant a lot to you.

Mars: Assertion, Courage, Identity

Mars in Capricorn

What would a warrior planet in the earthy sign of Capricorn mean regarding past lives? You were scared to lack ambition, which found you making yourself take on new challenges. Fear of failure was a battle. However, you had a strong follow through when you were finally convinced that you had the right stuff to do the job. Your initiating impulse was to look first and make sure you wouldn't be rushing into a mistake. However, you could become a type "A" personality when you found the avenues that excited you. A competitive streak came alive when seeing a clear path to success. You were willing to fight adversaries to outdo them in the professional arena. You did display a reserved nature. When you let go once in a while to spontaneity, lovers and friends were delighted. Being rigid made you seem cold to others. Your warmth came across when relaxing into experiences.

Your identity was very tied to the roles you chose. Career and work were taken too seriously. You fought with authority figures when not respecting their judgment. As a leader you could be quite demanding. Anger presented you with a dilemma. It made you feel like you were losing control to show your displeasure openly and passionately. Yet you felt better when letting out your true feelings. Relationships took less out of you when you talked directly and with a listening ear. When you moved with openness to new options and with flexibility, you were a happier soul.

Mars in 7th house

You took initiative when it came to meeting people. Many found you to be feisty and outgoing. Your adrenaline got pumping when trying to impress the public with your enterprising spirit. A competitive side surfaced when people were trying to outflank you. Close partnerships often pushed your feistiest buttons. Your passion to win at whatever you set out to do was intense. The exception being when indecision struck. This rendered you motionless. Fighting to defend lovers and your most trusted allies was a repeating pattern. What made you become territorial? It was when someone tried to take away what or who you loved. You were a hotheaded romantic! Proceeding quickly into relationships was a normal occurrence.

Impatience disrupted the flow of your key alliances. Lovers sometimes found you too pushy. Compromise was the wise approach if you really wanted to win somebody over. There were those that liked your fast paced life approach, with a few detractors. Assertiveness came pretty easily unless you were very intimidated by someone. You weren't too afraid to test the limits of love and adventure. When you stayed too long on the sidelines, you sensed you were missing out on the action. Anger came from disappointment with those you counted on. Also, if your life became too stressful, your temper fuse grew shorter.

Jupiter: Knowledge, Expansion, Philosophy, Travel

Jupiter in Scorpio

Having Jupiter, the planet of good fortune, in the sign of Scorpio indicates that you were excited by exploring mysteries. You liked the challenge of figuring your way out of problems. You chose to expand your potential through anticipating ahead of time how to be prepared for a crisis. Knowledge in your eyes was power. Taking the time to learn what others sometimes judged as obsolete went in your favor. Knowing your way around the business world was of great interest. You were an introspective student that required peace and quiet to think straight. Researching your favorite subjects was a lifetime passion. If there was a downside it was that you doubted you had the ability to recover from a crisis. The interesting thing is that when you managed not to let your fear get the best of you, an incredible inner strength shined through.  A refusal to give in to negative thinking was empowering.   Luck came by way of persistence that you would reach your desired life aims.  A positive attitude helped you consistently turn negatives and setbacks into winners. You found confidence in seeking allies that really believed in you during the rich and lean seasons. Travel was a way to process experiences. When maintaining a broad perspective, you never felt like you were missing out on any of life's opportunities, and more magically found happiness. Staying away from jealousy and manipulation was a test.

Jupiter in 9th house

A positive and enterprising outlook influenced you to seek expansive truths that kept the door open to a never-ending search for adventure. All roads led to Rome was a mantra. You tended to bite off more than you could chew. Promising too much in the form of overconfidence occurred.  The urge to see life from various perspectives caused you to delay in concentrating on any one path. Spontaneity was a life force in your eyes. You had definite opinions about right and wrong. You were likeable when not judgmental. Writing and speaking were powerful tools in your hands. Preaching what you believed either won you approval or met with considerable resistance by those disagreeing. Travel for pleasure or learning, were equally enjoyed. You liked becoming intoxicated by the people and scenery of distant places. People became energized by your innocent enthusiasm. You feared growing old in mind, more than you worried about the physical. Luck smiled favorably upon you when you were willing to act on your beliefs. Good fortune came through not blindly following in other's footsteps, and in not losing sight of the trees by concentrating too much on the forest.

The Journey

Saturn: Ambition, Seriousness, Focus, Responsibility

Saturn in Aquarius

Ambition came through you unexpectedly or in unusual ways, says your past lives history, with Saturn in the futuristic sign of Aquarius. Discipline was more a matter of finding those goals that kept you interested in fulfilling them. Long sustained efforts only were possible when you felt stimulated enough to see a plan through to the end. You had a unique talent in being able to combine the traditional and unconventional worlds into a harmonious expression. Your greatest fear was being limited to dead-end roads that gave you little chance to discover your own unique gifts. It sometimes took extra effort to force open a door that otherwise would have remained shut. You didn't like change if it meant toward a direction that repulsed you. But you did welcome new ideas when the old ones seemed outdated.

A karmic shadow was failing to change directions when it would have been wise to do so. You often defined yourself through cutting-edge professions, and as someone with a nose for future trends, though liking to keep one foot safely in the present.

Saturn in 6th house

What was your main focus? There were a few! They were diet, health, and work. You had to develop discipline in these areas. You consistently asked at crucial points during an incarnation: how can I become more efficient? Being organized gave you a sense of control. Rigidity related to being too critical of self, or others, 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 could have delegated better. If not overly picky, people liked you more. Dead-end jobs dulled your mind. Service-oriented occupations tended to bring out your best. You were skillful in being detailed.

A shadow was self-doubt. It sometimes caused you depression. Clear definition in how to solve problems was what you liked. You had to pace yourself to avoid burnout. Also, taking yourself less seriously proved valuable. A major redefining regularly occurred during lifetimes associated with a positive attitude. Seeing the cup as half full rather than half empty helped. Wisdom came through knowing what truly could be changed and what was best left alone.

Uranus: Individuality, Goals, Uniqueness, Freedom

Uranus in Leo

You had a tendency to react dramatically about future goals, which indicates Uranus in the sign Leo. Your mind did switch to fast forward when imagining how to express yourself creatively. People couldn't help but notice your ideas, as they often were communicated in a lively manner. You didn't excel in seeing how to include others in major decisions, but did do better with practice.

Inventiveness was a trait that made you proud of yourself. If others didn't openly show their appreciation for your original ideas, you did grow quite upset. You inspired people to make the most of their talents. Even lovers benefited from your ability to see where they may have had hidden ability. Maintaining a sense of direction made you feel that the world was your oyster and that surely the love and rewards you sought would find you.

Uranus in 12th house

In what way were you unconventional? Higher or spiritual beliefs were far different than the norm, actually downright mystical. You had futuristic vision that relied heavily on your intuition. It was through your faith that you reinvented yourself, which was often in the midst of dealing with a major crisis. A sense of direction was paramount in keeping you grounded. You had a tendency to drift away from reality. Going off on a tangent was your way of being an individual. You heard a calling that nobody else was listening to. You did need to watch that you didn't get so far out there that you became lost in causes lacking reality. You rebelled inwardly more than outwardly, unless becoming very passionate about an objective. Going into fast forward occurred when you fell in love. You didn't always pick the right partners due to unclear boundaries and dependency needs. Occasionally you were with a lover too needy and at other times you fell in love with unpredictable types. You liked the inspiration a soul mate provided. You were moody if perceiving that a new plan would stifle your creative spontaneity. Also, when someone's ideas clashed with your idealism, you sought to escape. Selfless service was fulfilling, but you did need to be careful if those receiving your best weren't deserving of this. You were inventive when you became emotionally disengaged, or mentally objective. Unique ideas flowed when you were at ease with a true feeling of purpose.

Neptune: Idealism, Romanticism, Intuition, Dreams, Escapism

Neptune in Taurus

You believed in ideals that had lasting value. Your faith in others was often a stabilizing influence for them. Your idealism was awakened through experiencing beauty in all of its many forms. In some lives you definitely inspired people through your creative passion for the arts. You didn't take romance lightly; meaning you took your time before rushing into relationships.

A major challenge was getting lost in material desires. The things that money could buy sometimes became too important. There was divine discontent in never really being satisfied with what you owned. You were happier when you kept your wish list simple. It was easier to get what you needed by not compulsively chasing after a dream. You wanted from the deepest part of your soul to find a soul mate. Someone to share the good and bad times, and who accepted your right to be you. You found transcendental growth through looking for experiences that elevated your vision to a high enough place so that you could accept life's highs and lows.

Neptune in 3rd house

In what way were you extra intuitive? It was in regard to immediate ideas. You had a knack for tuning into a plan that might lead to opportunity. You didn't like stressful situations so did your best to keep them from getting started. You could think with great sensitivity and insight. Your idealism influenced your perceptions. You weren't one wanting to be talked out of your dreams and hopes.

It was a test to stay focused when you became distracted by worries or trying to move into too many directions at once. This doesn't mean you weren't capable of concentration. It is just saying that you really needed your attention to be poured into a project before it could be accomplished. Discipline came through the inspiration of your beliefs. Your spirituality was where you drew inner strength and was often the filter by which you examined reality. You were clearer when you stayed centered, whether through meditation or a quiet retreat. You had a sixth sense when it came to figuring out how to adapt to new situations. This helped immensely in responding to a crisis. What was the biggest challenge? It was in not denying what you really knew to be true. You indulged in this behavior to stay in circumstances not so wonderful for you. Faith transformed your denial into a more on target view of better choices. You searched for a purpose that had the sudden potential to sweep you off of your feet.

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

Pluto in Taurus

Empowering yourself through acquiring wealth and possessions was a past lives tendency. Learning how to get by on less was a regular pattern in many incarnations. When you had a fair chance to put your business savvy to work, you persistently increased your buying power. You showed charisma through a calm reassured demeanor. A compulsive attachment to sensual desires or an extreme fear of poverty, were at times downfalls. You were determined to finish what you started. Outlasting the odds made you victorious, even when you were supposed to come out on the short end.

There was a shadow. What was it? An inner uncertainty that you were worthy of success and love. When you did gain confidence, happiness came sooner rather than later. Self-mastery was discovered through not becoming too overly attached to material desires. A wise detachment took you further. You found rebirth or a sense of renewal when holding onto your highest values.

Pluto in 3rd house

How did you go about seeking personal empowerment? You believed that information was power. So you fed your mind as many facts as it could hold. A renewed sense of purpose was discovered through overcoming negative thinking. You were a curious sort, wanting to know why people thought the way they did. You had great determination not to let anyone or anything interfere with your freedom of speech. What made you nervous were unexpected events that caught you off guard. You liked to have time to prepare for a change. A powerful self-examination manifested when you lost your mental clarity. A compulsive urge to question your own reasoning power got you to ask thought provoking questions. A shadow frequently followed you into incarnations associated with becoming stuck in worn-out thought patterns, infringing upon your flexibility. Altering certain limiting perceptions freed your intellect, allowing a new revitalized you to be born.

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 conjunct Venus

Relationships played a major role in your life. Being in love made you feel alive. Finding someone willing to let you be yourself was essential. Perhaps the biggest challenge was decisiveness.  An attraction to exotic lovers didn't necessarily mean they were the right matches.

You were not always fond of sharing, fearing you would get the short end of the stick. Instability in relationships was due to either impatience on one or both of your parts. Competitive streaks did get out of hand once in a while. Mutual support of values was a unifying factor.

Not becoming too judgmental was a challenge. Promising too much was another thing you had to be careful about. Optimism pointed you in new directions.

Saturn oppose Uranus

Balancing practicality and unconventionality either made you wise or feeling fragmented. Taking your time and making conscious choices served you better than when you threw logic out the window. Even the revolutionary side of you was more on the money when you took the time to think through options rather than fighting with no sense of direction. Commitments either gave you greater definition or felt suffocating. Knowing what experiences wouldn't stifle your freedom took trial and error. It was in not learning from past mistakes that you suffered the most. What was a key challenge? Your fear of change as it made you indecisive. When you felt in control of new circumstances, it calmed you down. Breaking away too quickly from good situations was due to not trusting they would stand the tests of time.

Though when it came to overcoming bad experiences, you had a way of blasting off into new directions. You didn't like to take the time to process the past because you were so busy living in the next moment!

Ascendant square Node

You had a tendency to either react quickly to taking advantage of an opportunity or to stew in a quandary.

Planets in actuality never really move backward, but can appear to do so.

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.

Knowing when to show vulnerability and when to show a tough set of armor was wisdom indeed! Some thought you lacked ambition.

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.
