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 Libra

You had a history of seeking relationships that maintained or restored your balance. One of your key impulses was an appreciation of beauty. Your soul was normally eager to reincarnate, knowing the world offered a huge panorama in which to explore your love and aesthetic interests. The archetypal theme for your destiny was to be a mediator. A crucial lesson was to realize you couldn't please everyone all of the time. You tended to forget who you really were when distracted by so many different pulls upon you.

When you developed a deeper awareness of people, your perceptions guided you how to give and take freely. In other words, rather than being over accommodating, you became assertive for what you needed. A trickster was growing too aggressive. You became too self-centered. Finding a way to balance the scales of too much compromising with that of grabbing the attention back to you was paramount to feeling happy. You sometimes had to get angry or be a warrior to get results. You looked for meaning in finding experiences that mirrored back to you with clarity what you were seeking. Rushing impulsively into situations caused you to repeat the same mistakes. Walking gracefully, not necessarily slowly, with an inner assuredness, often attracted the right soul mate and circumstances that kept the scales near the middle of fulfillment.

Node in 12th house

What types of activities did you participate in that furthered your soul growth? It was when you had faith in your ideals. Your belief system was the force behind everything you did. Self-doubt was what held you back as was trying to be too perfect. A common concern was "how can I find the love I seek without giving up my own true dreams?" When you didn't blindly follow in someone else's footsteps or chase after unrealistic ideas, you managed to stay out of karma's way. Your energy levels peaked when you fell in love. Yes, cupid's arrow found your heart a steady mark. Romance and fulfilling the plea of your highest values inspired your imagination. Knowing your boundaries kept you on track as much as ignoring them occasionally took you down roads of escapism. Knowing that a lover couldn't solve all of your problems, and you had no magic potion to take away those of others, made your path a lot simpler. Somewhere always hiding in the caverns of your memory banks was an intuitive instinct mixed with a tinge of an in-depth analytical ability. When using this wisely and with discernment, a magical guidance and a clear glimpse ahead colored life.

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 12th house

You had solar power heating your idealism in a big way in past lives. A desire to make your dreams come true was ever present. Faith could move mountains in your eyes. Your intuitive voice often whispered words of inspiration to your conscious mind, that is, if you could hear them. Your creative vitality fed off of your imagination. In some lives you had avid interest in the arts. Aligning your mind with your spiritual beliefs gave you an energy boost. Expectations had to be reality-tested to ensure you were asking for the possible. The irony was that when you went beyond the ordinary is when you were unusually lucky. Pride in your highest values was shown. You liked those able to fulfill a promise.

If there was a challenge it was escapism. Running away from conflict caused problems. When you faced life directly, you made yourself and others happy in the long haul. You were often a romantic. Love and soul mates constantly knew your name. It was defining clearly what you needed that became important. Guilt and self-pity depleted your clarity. Gaining objective distance from problems was a must. Healing energy emanated from you, but you needed to be aware of your boundaries. Your self-expression flourished through your ideals. You found fulfillment through helping others transcend their limitations, and in sharing your life with those understanding your intuitive hunger.

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 9th house

You had intuitive power when it came to tuning into adventurous directions. A yearning for learning was an innate drive. The teacher and counselor in you brought others to respect your judgment. You benefitted more from broad vision than one that stopped too quickly, thinking you had all of the answers. You needed to watch that your emotions didn't always outweigh your logic. You could be pulled in too many directions at once.

Gaining independence was a drive. A gypsy and traveler you could be. Either living in lands foreign from birth or in a different region occurred often. Your moods were relatively cool. Though it must be said, when it came to arguing over your principles, you could get very hot. You didn't like wasting energy on details, which bothered some people. Emotional outbursts were a way to get what you desired. Lacking a desire for roots was sometimes a trait. An inner desire to see the world and be a student of life permeated your being. Experiences that inspired your imagination were your favorites, as were those that made great escapes from reality.

Ascendant: Persona, Identity, Calling Card

Virgo on Ascendant:

With the sign Virgo as your past lives Ascendant, a scrutinizing nature often colored your incarnations. You customarily showed a serious disposition. Hard working was one of your calling cards. People often saw you as reliable and trustworthy. A strong desire to be organized was part of your past life history. The business world was never far from you. There was a natural inclination to develop pragmatic skills. You were a no-nonsense person. A challenge was not becoming too negative if life didn't measure up to your expectations. It was important that you saw the cup as half full rather than as half empty. You displayed a tendency toward compulsive worry. You often looked at the world through analytical eyes. You showed a need to know the "why" of things that occurred in your life. Being a worrier brought out your best and worst. A tendency to pursue details gave you a gift to be well organized. The other side of this coin was that you needed to learn to let go of worrying. Being able to sometimes forget the trees in order to see the forest was good for you!

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 11th house

Your perceptions moved unpredictability, which was the way you liked it! Progressive thinkers excited your brain synapses into sheer electrical delight. You inventively looked out at the world, trying to determine the doors opening to new discoveries. Your mind insightfully could size up situations. You lived somewhere between the traditional and unconventional worlds, not always certain where you belonged. Experimental inclinations were strong, unless you feared the consequences. Rebellious thinking emanated from you when disgusted with institutions backward in their ideologies. When you became too eccentric people weren't sure what to do with you.

Communication with those you loved and admired was a joy. You were aloof when hiding your feelings. You did like a wide assortment of acquaintances because you had knowledge about a vast array of subjects. You had a way of shocking people when saying what was on your mind. You liked surprising others and being surprised by new information. You were selective in picking and choosing what needed to be considered a priority. You didn't care to be bogged down by tedious details. Life directions that contained a multiplicity of options were desirable. Perhaps most of all you thrived on the freedom to fly your own way.

Venus: Relationships, Values, Comfort.

Venus in Virgo

With the love goddess adorning you through the sign of Virgo at birth, you came from past lives where you appreciated down-to-earth lovers. Many people experienced you as symbolizing pragmatism and dependability. Your social instincts were shaded with a hue of curiosity and yet lined with a cautious nature.

The ideal soul mate was someone devoted to similar life interests and possessing a strong work ethic. You were attracted to lovers that were able to return the attention you gave them. Patience was something you showed when working. People liked your meticulous way of doing a job. Making things run more smoothly and efficiently gave you a sense of satisfaction. An interest in health and diet put you into the role of the healer.

You liked those willing to work hard to fulfill their dreams. When you stayed away from individuals trying to change you, life was more pleasurable. You did tend to have high expectations of lovers until you saw that nobody was perfect. When you found partners accepting of your own imperfections, love was easier to feel. Your romantic fulfillment depended greatly on matching yourself with someone recognizing your intelligence as much as your sexiness, and finding a person that could remind you that humor was good medicine.

Venus in 2nd house

You were poised when interacting socially, especially when confident with the company. You tended to be a stabilizing force in relationships, a levelheaded approach leading the way. Self-sufficient lovers attracted your attention, and your knack for being resourceful brought you to them.

Conflict in partnerships really bothered you. You did have a tendency to be too compromising in trying to please others. Some accused you of being stubborn, though you explained this as determination. Sensual types made you feel special, as did being in romantic atmospheres. Your peers found you reliable and grounded. You liked to save for a rainy day. When individuals generously shared their wealth with you, they occupied a special place in your heart. You valued peace of mind and comfort. It was the generosity of others toward you that made you feel valuable. Working with those you loved in a spirit of harmony 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 1st house

You took the initiative to be a self-starter. Your adrenaline got pumping when the spirit moved you to take action. A competitive side came forward when your autonomy was challenged. Fighting to defend your identity was a repeating theme. What made you become territorial? When people were cramping your space. A get off of my cloud response sometimes won you greater freedom.

Impatience caused you to act with reckless abandonment. Was this all bad? No, not really. There were times when it was better you didn't wait for others to tell you what was right or wrong. This was not the most reflective side of you. Regretting your mistakes was not as important as the wisdom gained in learning from them. Assertiveness was an automatic impulse. You felt strange when holding too much back. You expressed anger spontaneously. It was brought on by your disgust with adversaries or when you were tired of waiting for life to catch up to you.

Jupiter: Knowledge, Expansion, Philosophy, Travel

Jupiter in Taurus

Having Jupiter, the planet of good fortune, in the sign of Taurus indicates you enthusiastically knew how to earn money. Saving it was another story. All in all, you kept financially afloat through knowing when and how to invest. You chose to expand your potential by making good use of your resources. Sensing how to better train yourself to increase your earning power was a solid part of your past. Knowledge that could be turned into profit interested you. You liked to digest information slowly when learning. A positive attitude brought you greater abundance. Luck came through a steady persistence in making a dream come true. Watching nature performing with its panorama of colors and landscapes was your silent meditation. You felt more confidence when you had the buying capacity to get what you desired for pleasure or comfort. Travel relaxed your psyche and made your problems seem less relevant. You enjoyed people with common sense. Teaching art, dance or music was a regular occurrence. When maintaining a broad perspective you got to experience the benefit of a wider range of differing perspectives.

Jupiter in 5th house

A positive and enterprising outlook influenced you to seek the best creative outlets. Taking chances was often a way of life. There were some regrets over gambles that didn't pay off or even cost you dearly. But you weren't one to cry over spilled milk. You bounced back in search of another scheme. Spontaneity continuously added vitality to your dreams. Promoting ideas was your forte. Advertising was an arena you had down to a science. Travel brought out the romantic. You were the ultimate explorer, and in many instances a great risk taker. Promising more than you could deliver was embarrassing. You redeemed yourself by a strong loyalty to those you adored. Commitments were not easy to honor. When you did manage to harness a restless spirit, you had intense devotion to your favorite subjects. It was your unwillingness to worship doubt that invited luck to smile favorably upon you. Good fortune came through sharing knowledge generously.

The Journey

Saturn: Ambition, Seriousness, Focus, Responsibility

Saturn in Taurus

Ambition came forward slowly but surely, says your past history, with Saturn placed within the calming sign Taurus. Discipline was usually preached to you early in life. It wasn't wise to force you to be something you really didn't want to be. You were serious about money. This means you knew quickly that few things came without a price. Business sense was in your veins. Some accused you of being too cautious. Moving with a steady pace toward success was your style. You were willing to work hard, but you didn't like everyday hassles. Your greatest fear was whether you could find the love and sense of well being you desired. When you satisfied this dilemma, you were then able to proceed ahead with less anxiety.

A karmic shadow was getting lost in either material desires or having a poverty consciousness. When you mastered this dilemma, you enjoyed greater balance. You often defined yourself through solid professional aspirations and as someone determining the best way to dig in and ride out life's storms.

Saturn in 5th house

What was your main focus? It was in finding your creative outlets. You had a determination to become disciplined in your favorite areas of self-expression. You consistently asked at crucial points during an incarnation: how can I develop self-confidence? Embracing your ego strength gave you a feeling of control. Rigidity connected to a fear of failure 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. Bossy tendencies were exhibited. You were more of a take control type, a few power struggles coming with the territory.

A shadow was stage fright, thinking you weren't adequately prepared for a challenge. This either caused you to under or over use power. Clear definition in how to maintain what you accomplished was preferred. Learning to sharing center stage made others like you. A major redefining occurred regularly during lifetimes, connected to how you used your time, which was a key to your staying young in spirit and physically healthy. Wisdom came through respecting the rights of others and adopting a greater sense of sharing.

Uranus: Individuality, Goals, Uniqueness, Freedom

Uranus in Taurus

You had a tendency to move slowly toward future goals for the most part, indicates having Uranus in the sign Taurus. Although your mind did switch to fast forward abruptly, when you saw an opportunity to enhance your financial situation. You didn't like to rush into major decisions and could resist strongly if being forced to do so. You had a way of staying calm within a storm. When you lacked discipline, you did have a habit of spending money in a hurry. You did need to keep an eye on eccentric wasteful patterns.

Inventiveness often earned you enough to buy the finer things in life. Tuning into progressive trends put you ahead of the competition. Occasionally you purposely would do outrageous things just to spice up your everyday lifestyle. Maintaining a sense of direction was essential to keep you proceeding ahead in a centered way so you could enjoy your objectives that much faster.

Uranus in 5th house

In what way were you unconventional? It was how you went about expressing yourself creatively. Spontaneous outbursts of energy attracted attention. A futuristic vision came alive when you felt motivated to reinvent yourself through showing the world your newfound talents. Your goals were a key ingredient in keeping you young and full of vitality. A sense of direction was paramount to your success. It gave you self-confidence to keep on trucking in spite of the obstacles. Your romances were fast and furious. You didn't really enjoy long-term commitments unless you had a long leash. Freedom to answer to nobody was your preference. You did try to modify this when you fell in love or needed to get along with authority figures, though it was a test. You rebelled against anyone trying to label your potential. Being able to walk your talk by listening to your own drumbeat was a must. Stimulation occurred in the midst of promoting ideas and actions that made you feel proud. In not being able to compromise or growing suddenly willful you met a real test. Unorthodox approaches made it hard for you to fit in. You weren't real flexible. Communication breakdowns did cause your relationships a few ups and downs. You were inventive ferociously. The trick was getting disciplined. When you did have the focus, you usually found success.

Neptune: Idealism, Romanticism, Intuition, Dreams, Escapism

Neptune in Virgo

You believed in ideals that had a better than average chance to come true. Your idealism was awakened through serving the causes you loved. In your eyes, dreams were flimsy if they didn't have dedication to back them up. Learning skills that helped pave the way for you to earn a living were greatly valued. Hard-working individuals won a special place in your heart. Your standards were high for yourself and for others. It was customary for you to treat romance somewhat businesslike. Lovers had better show logical thinking, as this was a prerequisite. This isn't saying that you couldn't ever be a hopeless romantic. It's just that you had a scrutinizing mind wanting to know that someone could hold up their end of the bargain. The sooner you understood that there were no perfect lovers, the happier you became.

A major challenge was perfection, knowing when and how to turn off this tendency. Striving to do excellence helped you reach milestones. Getting too lost in the left brain needed a little right brain, intuitive balance. You wanted from the deepest part of your soul to be able to accept your gifts as well as shortcomings. You found transcendental growth through letting go of self-doubt and choosing to give your time to those appreciating you.

Neptune in 1st house

In what way were you extra intuitive? It was in regard to initiating actions. You could become mesmerized through receiving attention. People often found you to appear dreamy. In some ways you were! Your imagination was vivid. It wasn't easy to face reality. Your idealism sometimes led you to go forward without being realistic. You didn't always have clear-cut boundaries about your self-image. This doesn't mean you were always disoriented. It's really saying you could be many different personalities, depending on the occasion.

It was a test to be assertive. Confusion about your identity was the big reason for this. You could be direct and forceful when feeling the inspiration of your beliefs. Your spirituality was the catalyst to get you to act out your highest ideals. You were a true romantic. Love made you leave your fears behind. What was the biggest challenge? Being too timid when you needed to show your talents. This was probably due to being overly sensitive. Another reason was you had a nagging sense of perfection. Faith transformed your denial into a powerful display of your creative intensity. You searched for a renewed sense of purpose.

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 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.

Relationships were a panorama of splendor. They fascinated you! Defining your boundaries in partnerships was never easy. You did seek a soul mate intensely. Romantic encounters led to confusing circumstances. If you settled for vague definitions it got worse.

Staying positive in thought took you many more miles to your destinations than did self-doubt. Focusing excessively on what you lacked never did much for your mind.

You found your way in the world with a ferocious determination. If your ambitions met with resistance, you took this quite personally. You came back that much harder with a persistent effort to succeed. Controlling behaviors didn't make you popular, nor did the bossy ones. You enjoyed showing others that you could take care of yourself. People did sometimes envy your life. When you generously helped those in need, you were admired.

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

You depended heavily on the input of friends. Learning to tune into your intuition sometimes gave you clearer vision. A lover was a disruptive force occasionally, especially if you looked for too much of yourself in the relationship. Love aroused your passion to go after the future, but could be so unpredictable it caused you to lose your way. You were sensitive about getting support from those closest to you.

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

When you reflected calmly while life was testing you, and listened to your intuitive voice for additional clarity, you were on top of your game!

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.

Saturn retrograde:

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

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!
