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.

Chapter 1:  Most Important Prior Life Experiences
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 Sagittarius

You have a strong sense of morality which is not obvious to the outer world. You set very high standards of personal conduct. You can be very harsh on yourself for even the slightest transgression. You may become overly optimistic about unsound ideas or projects.

Look for a significant prior lifetime where traditional religious beliefs were honored. Consider your current attitudes towards traditional religion. Possible prior fields of endeavor include the ministry, or being part of a religious governing body, aviation, merchant shipping, teaching or the legal profession.

Sagittarius 12th House, Capricorn Rising

You are seen as being practical, hard working and persevering. Your serious exterior hides your philosophical bent.

Moon in 12th House

Prior life experiences may have included difficulties with childbirth, motherhood or abandonment of children. You may have been overly protective of children to the extent that you drove them away. This life may bring difficulties in fertility, mother-child relationships, or a general mistrust of women.

KARMIC LESSON: Emotional security comes from accepting those around you as capable human beings. Learn to balance feminine and masculine principles.

Saturn in 12th House

You chose a solitary prior life, as a hermit or in a cloistered environment, so you would not have to face the harsh realities of the outside world. In this life, you hide your feelings of inadequacy by avoiding solitude, putting on a smile to the public. Although you are outgoing and sociable, you may have difficulties dealing with authority figures.

KARMIC LESSON:  Once you overcome the fear of being alone, you may find that you actually enjoy your own company, especially when working on a specific goal or project.

Chapter 2:  Saturn (The Great Teacher)
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 12th House

You have a serious interest in the psychology of people and can dedicate yourself to menial work or creative endeavors. You have a strong yearning for spiritual fulfillment and may find great solace in the service of humankind.

You may have spent a prior life in prison, a convent (monastery) or as a recluse. You may have been the victim of treachery of others, which forced you into hiding. If you were in a position of power, then karmic guilt can render you immobile when you have the opportunity to make advancement to a position resembling your previous one.

On the positive side, you are able to use your inner strength to learn your karmic lessons and develop your spiritual nature. You seek the company of others out of love of humanity, instead of the fear of loneliness.

On the negative side, you may fear success, recognition and public displays of emotion. Your body may express your prior life's fears in the form of allergies, immune system dysfunction or as phobias. The karmic issues must be resolved in order for you to experience health and success.

THIS PLACEMENT INDICATES A STRONG NEED FOR PAST LIFE REGRESSION.

Saturn Conjunct Moon:

Emotional reserve was necessary for your survival in a prior lifetime. This time around you are still feeling that restraint. Sometimes, you find it difficult to express your emotions to others, fearing what others may think. Learn to have faith in your own abilities and trust your intuition.

Saturn Trine Uranus:

You are able to remain calm in critical situations. In prior lives you survived chaos, revolutions and natural disasters. These past life memories can make your current life seem tranquil in comparison. You are capable of enduring very tense situations for a long time. You are persistent in your quest for knowledge, giving you natural teaching abilities. Take care with your physical well-being when under stress for prolonged periods of time.

Chapter 3:  Jupiter (Your Karmic Gifts)
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 Libra

Fairness, justice and social harmony are your goals brought over from a prior life.

You are generous with your considerations of others' needs, so you are well-liked. An ideal marriage for you would be with someone who shares you sense of social justice. Your prior life spent promoting justice and morality is expressed by your interest in religious charities, educational foundations and concern for the socially disadvantaged.

Jupiter in 10th House

You are honest, ambitious and reliable in your career. In a prior life your generosity with those in your charge has enabled you to return with the same high standards of justice and morality. You can succeed in public office, managerial position or your chosen profession as long as you remain true to your personal principles.

Jupiter Conjunct Neptune:

Spiritual understanding in prior lifetimes enabled you to relinquish personal ambition and power in favor of a greater Power. Inspiration came to you in philosophical, psychic or artistic matters. Your past life memories give you empathy and psychic gifts, along with a generally optimistic attitude. Your concern is to temper your optimism with common sense; you tend to see positive outcomes for every situation, when in fact, the opposite may be true.

Jupiter Sextile Sun:

Personal philosophies developed in your karmic past have given you a great deal of self-confidence. In other lifetimes, you controlled your ego by some form of religious discipline. This time, you can benefit from your prior lives' lessons, as karmic memories are very close to the surface. You are cheerful, optimistic, courageous and sociable.

Jupiter Sextile Moon:

Emotional and physical security from another life is present in your current one. Your sense of humor will carry you through trying times. You have good intuition which you may see as good judgment. You can empower others with a sense of security by providing a comfortable environment for growth.

Jupiter Sextile Mercury:

Generosity with your knowledge in prior lifetimes has given you good communication skills. In this life, you can speak openly and honestly, giving freely of your lifetimes of knowledge. Opportunities may come from the communication or travel industry.

Jupiter Sextile Pluto:

You have experienced many transformations and upheavals in prior lifetimes. These karmic memories have given you a great deal of inner strength and power. You are very strong-willed and you have a definite sense of right and wrong. You may possess many research and diagnostic skills necessary for promoting the healing process in yourself and in others. Your past life experiences enable you to face the challenges ahead with the understanding of the need for change.

Chapter 4: Nodes of the Moon (Your Karmic Doorways)
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 Libra

Personal advancement and gain were important to you in prior lifetimes. Your sense of self-importance was exaggerated, and you may have used your physical attractiveness to gain undue advantage.

The drive and competition you have exhibited in past lives is still evident today. This time around you need to learn to work with others as opposed to your former "lone wolf" style.

You have probably spent past lives as a soldier, explorer, pioneer or inventor.

In this life, you have many strong likes and dislikes and you are not afraid to let people know what they are. You can be envious of the advantages others have, thus making you bitter about your own lot in life.

In order to maintain the balance between your two karmic doorways, you need to learn that selfishness will only increase your bitterness. The joys of sharing and cooperation will bring you untold personal satisfaction. Use your strong sense of justice for the betterment of humanity, not only to advance your personal cause.

Chapter 5: Planets in Retrograde (Reversed Energies)
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.

Mercury Retrograde

Communication can be difficult for you in some manner. You may find your ideas difficult to relate to others; or, you may have experienced, sometime in your life, a case of extreme shyness.

In a prior life, you may have participated in a situation where you misused the power of communication, by gossip, inflammatory speaking or writing, or twisting the truth, to make advantages for yourself.

Your lesson in this life is to speak the truth when you do speak and to govern your actions by your code of ethics.

Saturn Retrograde

You have a great deal of inner reserve. You are very serious about completing everything you start, sometimes when better judgment would recommend abandoning a project. You have always appeared mature beyond your years.

In a prior life, you avoided or were unable to fulfill your responsibilities, thus leaving many things undone or partially complete.

Your lesson in this lifetime is complete your projects and live up to your responsibilities. You have a great deal of wisdom from prior life experiences which will help you to teach others the value of completion.
