Introduction to Karmic Astrology

The effects of past life experiences can carry over into your current life, accounting for interests, habits, even phobias which would defy explanation by conventional methods.

This report examines possible past life connections using astrological methods. It is not intended to be taken as a complete interpretation of your birth chart; it looks at your chart from only one perspective.

It is written in simple language, avoiding the use of astrological terms as much as possible. For the interest of students of astrology, relevant astrological references are made at the top of each section.

There are certain factors which indicate a need to seek further answers through past life regression. If you find reference to this within your chart, you may discover that your spiritual growth will be enhanced by using this method. (Note: Individuals with a number of these indicators in the chart have probably already experienced spontaneous regressions.)

Not all charts will indicate a need for regressions. If your report does not indicate such a need, then it is most likely that discovering your past lives through regression is of little interest to you this time around.

In traditional astrology, the Twelfth House represents your self-undoing, hidden matters and the subconscious process. It is believed that we carry karmic memories in our subconscious, and that these subconscious memories can undermine our current life efforts.

When we remove the walls created by subconscious fears and guilt, we find that the path to personal transformation lies beyond.

If, in your chapter you find a number of descriptions of planets placed in your twelfth house, consider exploring your hidden self through past life regression.

12th house cusp in Gemini

You have the ability to keep your creative ideas secret, which may or may not be beneficial in this lifetime. You are constantly communicating with yourself. You may keep a secret diary or you may talk to yourself or talk in your sleep.

Look for a significant prior lifetime as a writer, carnival worker, entertainer, communications worker or salesperson. Gemini on the cusp of the twelfth house indicates a prior lifetime where you lived by your wits.

Gemini 12th House, Cancer Rising

You are primarily interested in nurturing, family relationships and your home. Family and tradition is very important to you. You are protective of your family and your immediate circle. You may have difficulty in determining what should and should not be communicated to those outside your home environment. This will depend upon the lessons learned in your prior life.

The source of many of our self-imposed restrictions can be found in the placement of the planet Saturn. The location of Saturn in a horoscope represents the area of life where we have to learn the greatest lessons. It is through these lessons that we grow and improve.

Just like your least liked teacher in school, Saturn's lessons require hard work and self-discipline. And like the lessons from that teacher, Saturn's lessons are not easily forgotten. The lessons you learn help you to find order and security in your current life.

When a lesson from a prior life was not learned, you can experience inexplicable guilt or self-restriction. Exploration of the unlearned lessons of Saturn can free you to use all of your natural talents.

Saturn in 7th House

Your relationships, partnerships or any one-to-one association have a very serious quality. You may find yourself involved with older persons, authority figures. Your ideal mate is stable, conscientious and conservative. Frustrations can arise due to the passionless, "business-like" attitude either you or your mate express to one another.

Unresolved conflicts from a prior life usually involving a mate or partner may restrict you in this life. You have usually incarnated with this individual many times in an attempt to work out the guilt, frustration and rejection you and your counterpart feel.

On the positive side, you are able to resolve your karmic debts with another through compassion and forgiveness.

On the negative side, you may continue to blame others for your unwillingness to face up to responsibilities. You may find yourself marrying for social convention, status in the community or security instead of for love.

Consider your current attitudes toward love and marriage. Learn to balance your sense of responsibility and your need for a fulfilling relationship.

THIS POSITION HAS GREAT POTENTIAL FOR REPETITION OF PAST LIFE PATTERNS. IF YOU FEEL THAT THIS IS OCCURRING, YOU MAY FIND A PAST LIFE REGRESSION VERY USEFUL.

Personal karma is not necessarily negative. You bring to this life certain talents and interest which enable you to expand your horizons. Often overlooked for its karmic value, the placement of the planet Jupiter in your chart can tell you about your karmic gifts.

Jupiter describes spiritual rewards as well as the area of your current life where you may experience material gains.

The lesson of Jupiter is best described as the acceptance of the law of karma. The rewards you reap in this life time come from your prior life's good deeds, and your future benefits (this life or another) are the rewards of your present fair dealings and generosity.

Jupiter in Pisces

You have great emotional depth and compassion for all of humankind. Your generosity is expressed without selectiveness and you may find some people will take advantage of you.

Quiet meditation, seclusion, fasting or retreats will renew your energies. A prior life as a mystic or in religious contemplation has given you an interest in occult philosophy, dream interpretation, and astral projection.

Jupiter in 8th House

You have strong beliefs in life after death, and under some circumstances can be very telepathic. In a prior life you administered the estates of clients in a selfless manner and your tireless efforts to ensure that all beneficiaries received their rightful inheritances has enabled you in this life to receive benefit from insurance, bequests, or joint finances.

Jupiter Opposition Moon:

In a prior life you found emotional and physical security based on your unquestioning faith in a rigid religious doctrine and strong devotion to a parent. This time around, you may feel the need to develop your own unique philosophy or again you may be attracted to an authoritarian religion, a cult or a guru. Parents or the parental home may be a source of stress.

Jupiter Opposition Uranus:

Your prior life situations gave you opportunities to make radical changes for yourself and as part of a group. Your memories from prior times left you a feeling of restlessness, a desire for change. Your inclination is to force change by unconventional behavior, without regard for those around you. Learn that each person is unique and that unique expression does not have to be hurtful.

The point on a horoscope chart called the North Node of the Moon is not actually a planet, but can be thought of as a doorway from your current life to your future. And, its opposite point (the South Node of the Moon) can be thought of as a doorway from your past life to your current one.

These two sensitive points can show you what goals you are concerned with in this life and what habits from prior lives are holding you back from reaching those goals.

North Node of the Moon in Leo

In prior lives, you promoted social reform and brotherhood, often at the expense of close personal relationships. Creativity was repressed in favor of work for the common good.

Your past live's goals were based on bettering the human condition, yet you remained so detached from real people that the goal became an intellectual exercise.

You have possibly spent past lives as a revolutionary, social worker, academic, or even a hermit.

You still take pride in being different from other people, and often will maintain your individuality at all costs.

In this lifetime, you are reluctant to share anything you have created with others for fear of rejection or because of your basic shyness. You may hide your insecurities by appearing detached and intellectually superior.

In order to maintain the balance between your two karmic doorways, you need to tap the creativity within yourself and focus that creative energy on ways to make social or artistic contributions to humanity. Let down your old barriers and you will discover that you will be admired for your individuality and your creativity.

Planets in a horoscope chart which are marked as being in retrograde motion, hide or reverse the true energy of that planet.

From a perspective of past life experiences, this usually means that some experience in a prior lifetime was so negative that the individual refuses to use that planetary energy in any manner.

Venus Retrograde

Affection and love can be elusive for you. You may find it difficult to express love, or, you may feel that real love is lacking in your life.

In a prior life, you may have used the power of love or your own attractiveness for selfish reasons, or, you may have judged others by looks alone.

Your lesson in this life is to open your heart to others without attaching conditions. Find the real beauty in all of us. Give of yourself without the expectation of reward.
