Lesson 2
Karmic Astrology 2
Description of the previous incarnation
The last Moon’s conjunction By each of the factors describing the previous incarnation (which have been mentioned in the previous lesson, will be analyzed in this one) different karma is earned, each of them from its own perspective describe a specific type of karma and all of them together give description of the previous incarnation as a whole. It is not necessary that all of them are prominent in a horoscope, but there is the last Moon’s conjunction for every soul and it symbolizes: • •
The experience experience of Soul and its embodiment in the past life How successfully is passed the exam in the past life
The last Moon’s conjunction is very important because it indicates in a way state of consciousness, it describes quantity of light which comes to life in the matter, that is the planet behind Moon. The Light is indicated when that planet has conscious, harmonic aspects, if it is about the conscious planet, or it is the planet which is well aspected by the conscious planets. More conscious the planet is, better the quality of past life experience, and this incarnation easier, because it is relied on that experience. The next factor describing the past (previous) incarnation is:

The twelfth house Karma • • •
•
All of the experiences from the past life The death in the past life The last wish in the past life that creates a native in this (current) life The karma of attachment
The twel The twelft fth h hous house e repr repres esen ents ts,, just just as the the last last Moon Moon’s ’s conj conjun unct ctio ion, n, something that is behind us, but in terms of our body, Ascendent, whereas Moon indicates something that is behind us in terms of Soul. The twelfth house describes the experience of our existence. It represents the house of the end, the death in the past life (the eight house from the fifth), and entire life is contained in the end of life, and the strongest emotions are very prominent in it, as well as the most significant events of that life. Ther Th eref efor ore, e, it indi indica cate tess very very conc concis isel elyy what what is the the most most sign signif ific ican antt experience of the past life, what is the most dominant category of that life. That is the experience of death in one life, which contains in itself that whole life. That means reaching the point of absolute, where one is reduced to the point in which there is no way to avoid what one truly is, because that point represents one’s own essence. The twelfth house also indicates the way of death in the past life, the way how one’s life ended. The twelfth house is interpreted as the house of fears and eventual psychological instability, exactly because it was the death in the past life, and because one was afraid of passing through that eight house, which is currently the twelfth. If a native had a powerful, dramatic experience of death, then this is the reason for its current fears, oftenly inexplicable ones. Symbolics of the planet describing the way of death in the past past life life,, is what what a nati native ve is unco uncons nsci ciou ousl slyy afra afraid id of in this this life. life. Th The e experience of death is frequently traumatic for souls unprepared for passing through the eight house. The eight house leads one to the point that actually represents complete life, because complete life is related to three states of water, three states of aggregation. When three lives – the past, present, and and futu future re are are unit united ed into into one, one, when when conc concep epti tion on,, birt birth h and and deat death h are are connected in one point, there is a basis for a completely new frequency of living, for a completely new plane of existence that is called liberation. These These experien experiences ces always occur in those those watery watery points, points, and if a soul is not 2
prepared for that, it experiences this as a fear, and it is blocked by that powerful energy, and since it is about the point, a soul can not see what had been or what will be. That energy is very powerful and it is shaping a native, and in a way it could be compared to that energy which is felt at night before falling asleep, when one receives a strong affirmation, whether it is a result of a prayer or something else, it is so poweful that it seems to be real, just like an experience, as the experience of death. The twelfth house also represents the last thought, the last image, the last wish from the past life – the most powerful energy containing the essence of the past (previous) life, because the twelfth house is the eight house from the fifth. That last thought before death is just like the last thought before falling asleep, containing the essence of reliving that day, or like an imagined wish that materializes if thought is powerful enough. One is determined by the twelfth house, because the first house originates from the twelfth. If there is something wrong about the twelfth house or the psyche, then the energy (represented by the first house) – and current life itself are unlikely to be easy or of high – quality, and possibilities that one has to reach consciousness and accomplish its potentials become minor… The twelfth house is determined by powerful energies if one remained attached to something, and one is attached to everything that is in the twelfth house. Therefore, if it is about a malefic planet, then one remains attached to fears. Attachment represents a category of the twelfth house whether one is tied as a slave, or one is in hospital, prison, or if one is attached to some things or some powerful experiences. If a native was strongly convinced to be the greatest, the strongest, to be a powerful personality – that certainly gives a powerful Sun, but in this life it is placed in the twelfth house which is felt as a loss, or in other words, that energy remained attached in the past life dimension and in this life it could exactly indicate the limitation in that symbolics because a native in the past life did not allow the energy to flow. One of the important laws is that the flowing (circulating) of energy must not be prevented, it must not be binded, because if that happens it is imprisoned and it remains in the twelfth house. There are prisoners thrown into chains in the twelfth house, and everything that exist in the twelfth
3
house indicate what a native is attached to. The twelfth house symbolizes an extremely powerful energy which remained attached somewhere, that could be too intensive fear which functions as enemy in this life, because now a native is blocked, paralyzed, with no strenght to move or act. Every strong attachment makes energy remaining where it used to be attached. On the other hand, the twelfth house also symbolizes those positively initiated things with the goal to be greater than a native itself manifesting in life as a certain mission initiated by a native. The symbolics of activity initiated by a native which will be continued in the next life, depends on how well is placed the planet in the twelfth house (its position, aspects, dispositor), that is favorable only if it is about a spiritual activity, because then the previous experiences could be supportive in this life and then there is a possibility to attain totality of those lives. The loss of energy and risk in this life depends on how harmful this is. The karma of the twelfth house is not prominent for everyone, meaning that the twelfth house is not always prominent in a horoscope: no planets in the twelfth house, no prominently placed ruler of the twelfth house in a chart. The planet placed on cusp of the twelfth house is the most prominent thing from this house, and it has priority in giving description of a native and it represents what a native is strongly attached to. Oftenly this planet also symbolizes the gender of a native in the previous incarnation: the powerful Mars on the cusp of the twelfth house certainly refers to someone who used to feel as strong, brave, and therefore it indicates masculine gender. It also indicates the energies one was attached to: might, strenght , … Depending on how that planet is placed in a chart, a native could also be frightened, especially if its position is poor (weak) because it symbolizes a way the life was ended (violently, dramatically) and that causes fears. Another powerful indicator of the twelfth house karma is the ruler of the twelfth house, and the third indicator represents the planet placed somewhere in the twelfth house (not on its cusp). Everything else related to the twelfth house describe what was happening. The most significant information given by this house is how prominent is the karma of attachment .

The Karma of Saturn
• • • •
Saturn in this life – it used to be Mars The law of Cause and Effect “You reap what you saw” Circumstances, the moment when one is born, genetics
The karma of Saturn represents the karma of the most classical model of how karmic laws function, as it is said: “You shall reap, what you sow”. This is a negative of the past actions. Action is represented by Mars, and Mars is focused at a goal. Target is hit, but everything else is missed, that represents Saturn. Saturn indicates everything that is missed, and this is caused by something that was aimed at. Saturn represents price that is paid for hitting a target, or in other words it indicates a way how that was accomplished. Aim (target) is Mars, and means used to accomplish this task is Saturn. Therefore, Saturn in this life is what it used to be Mars. Saturn’s influence in karmic astrology is interpreted in symbolics of what it used to be Mars. Saturn represents what our actions used to be, and the word “karma ” itself means “ action ” in Sanskrit. Therefore, karma is created by action, karma is created by Mars. Action holds the key for cause and effect, for every cause has its effect. Mars itself represents pure energy related to surviving and it has no awarness of consequences, of a negative, represented by Saturn in this life. Mars is focused on its goal, at one point and is not interested in how that will be accomplished. Therefore, there is Saturn which represents the result of Mars (Mars grown old). The karma of Saturn represents the karma of our deeds: we are becoming what we did to others. Not all the people have the karma of Saturn, even though everyone has Saturn in their charts. Just an exceptional action in the past life woud have created the perfect Saturn, that is actually hardly possible. Saturn must be prominently placed in a chart, and uncomfortable in many ways (its position, dispositor, aspects) so that the karma of Saturn could be indicated.
5
Everyone bears its own cross (Saturn), but it is questionable if this is the main karma and how prominent this is. If a native has inharmonious aspect between Saturn and Venus, and Saturn represents what Mars used to be, this is certainly the image of Mars and wounded Venus. The difficulty of karma depends on what had happened (how afflicted Saturn is). It is not necessary that Venus was primarly physically injured. It is possible that it was about some disagreement or Mars simply deserted on Venus, that hurt her. What Mars (Saturn in this life) should have done, was leaving nicely (saying good-bye), for if Mars would have done that there would not be inharmonious aspect in this life. The pain of that person from the previous incarnation becomes pain for a native in this one, and this is born through waiting and deserting, because what one do to other people is what one creates for oneself. The karma of Saturn also creates circumstances, in other words, it creates the moment when one is born. Circumstances and the time (Chronos) of one’s birth is created by one’s deeds and actions. Shall we be born after this incarnation in XIII or XXVII century, depends on actions in this life, and it is certain that XIII century was pretty cruel, this would mean that a native in this reality should do a lot of cruel things to be incarnated in such a period. Just like that, our past actions (Mars) created our time (this period) – Saturn by which we are determined.
The Fifth House • • •
The part (role) that Soul used to have in the previous incarnation What Soul aspired to How much of good Soul brought into this incarnation
Unlike the twelfth house, which represents sum of the past life experiences, the fifth house represents the major role a person had in the past life. These houses are the same, because Mars is the ruler of the first and the eight house, therefore in determination of the previous incarnation we are looking for something that is connecting these houses, something that is the same, and it should be sensfully correlated. From the point of view of karmic astrology, the fifth house describes what that person used to do, what was its role, what it was engaged in, what was its primary aspirations, the main 6
course of its life. That is described by the ruler of the fifth house or the planet on the cusp of the fifth house. The description given by the ruler of the fifth house, its dispositor, planets placed in it or the sign of Leo is additional indicator of the twelfth house, whereas the twelfth house is something like the dispositor of the fifth house, and these two houses (planets placed there, and their rulers) give a complete picture. The fifth house also indicates what Soul was doing in the past life and how good that is for this incarnation, how helpful that is. If the past Self is helping or not. The fifth house represents what one loves. The most important thing in every life is to love, that is essential, because if one loves one helps oneself to be integrated with the past, with its past body. And when one integrates at least two beings in oneself, one becomes powerful and complete – one feels light. It is known in Natal astrology that it is primary that the first house is related to the fifth, because that makes a person vital, happy, creative. The first house should connect with the fifth, for one originates from love. Therefore, it is important that there is a favorable setting in the fifth house (the fifth house ruler, its dispositor, the planets in it and in the sign of Leo as well), because on that depends how much good (or bad) one does to oneself. By loving and creating one is helping oneslef. The fifth house is associated with body (the first house of the previous incarnation), therefore it is necessary to make a good and harmonious relation with body, because that is prerequisite for love, and without that the lasting and stable love is not possible, but only single moments of love, since it can not be beared all the time. To be able to love, one should always have a good relation with one’s body, because body represents the past . Stars we see at certain places at night, they are actually no longer there. They are very distant, therefore the moment when they are registered by eye already represents the past in relation to the real situation. In a same way our body represents the past, everyone represents the past for an observer (just it is about the recent past). Every material factor represents the past, therefore the fifth house enables connection with the past through love . The natural ruler of the fifth house is Sun and its natural motion is only direct, meaning that the natural course from one incarnation
7
into another one, from the past time into the future. In most of the cases the past life was in times before this incarnation. However, sometimes the ruler of the fifth house is retrograde that is contrary to the natural motion of the fifth house ruler, which could indicate that the previous incarnation was in the future, because it indicates a certain “repetition” from the previous incarnation, meaning that a native is doing the same things what it was doing in the previous incarnation. The reasons for coming back from the future could be various: missionary or “prisoner”.
Retrograde Planets
• •
The exams carried over from the past life The mission is continued
Retrograde planets symbolize repetition, therefore from the karmic perspective they indicate unpassed or unfinished exams, in other words, exams that are carried over from the past life are signified above all by the essential nature of the retrograde planet, but also by the nature of the house that planet rules, as well as by all the other factors (aspects of that planet, its dispositor). As karmic astrologers we should determine well that planet to be sure what it is about: if the issue is mission or repetition of exam . The retrograde planet usually indicates something that it hasn’t been completely or well mastered, but if position of the retrograde planet is in any way favorable that is a signifier of a Mission – it indicates that the things initiated in the past life have been greater of that life itself and that there is a tendency to unite all three lives (that is mentioned at the beginning). Usually the position of the retrograde planet is at the same time favorable and unfavorable, meaning that inharmonious aspect with some planet symbolizes unlearned lesson, unpassed exam that is being repeated now. Harmonious setting with another planet indicates continuation of something good that has been initiated in the previous incarnation, something that one feels closely related to. Completely well placed retrograde planet symbolizes a significant mission that is very important in a native’s life. Retrograde planet could be placed in the twelfth house which already symbolizes the 8
past, therefore that kind of a retrograde indicates experiences from the life before the past life, because the connection between the twelfth house and retrograde planet must indicate even more distant period in time since it is about double repetition. The beginning of what is represented by the retrograde planet in the twelfth house was in the life before the past life. If there is a retrograde planet related to the fifth house the conclusion is the same – that something is repeating, for good or worse, from the life before the last one, because the fifth house symbolizes the last incarnation, and retrograde planet symbolizes repetition. The twelfth and the fifth house are the houses that symbolize past experiences, as well as the retrograde planet does, therefore if united they indicate something that was created before, in the life before the past life, and that was repeated in that past life and again it is repeating in this one. If such a retrograde planet is well placed, it symbolizes a great missionary story initiated in the life before the past life, which now gives a native great opportunity for reaching the triple point, which is called liberation – since the three successive conscious incarnations, consciously connected (therefore, three incarnations which are collaborating ) are necessary in order to reach enlightenment. Inharmonious setting of retrograde planet represents a debt continuing from one life to another (as if one is on the third year of studies and yet hasn’t passed the first year’s exam). Considering the nature of Saturn which by itself always represents the past time , if it is retrograde it even symbolizes the life before the past life , therefore depending on its actual setting it could indicate a mission, and maybe a debt as well which has been carried over through two previous lives. If retrograde Saturn is related to the twelfth and the fifth house, which symbolize the previous incarnation, it indicates even further time in the past. If this is associated with faculty exams, this would be the illustration of a person which has been carrying over a certain exam for a long time, from one year to another, and then it becomes impossible to do that anymore and therefore it is impossible to register into the next year of studies, but that person has to repeat – and that means it has to change the environment and to continue and go along with new students. Objectively, a person who “repeated the whole year” is actually born in a country where it
9
does not belong to , in a country which seems strange, where circumstances are completely different than those a person was used to. That person is also born in a society in which is not accepted (it feels like a student who repeated a grade in a class where everyone else normally goes forward, and it is being seen as a stranger with no quality, because it is a bad student). The meaning of this “repetition”, which is not easy nor attractive, is to bring a native to a level where one is closest to connecting to oneself , to be able to find one’s own story, one’s own basis and one’s own logic. Nevertheless, there is one advantage of one who repeated a grade: one has alrady been on that level (grade) and one should make use of it by helping others, because in that way one will attract their attention and respect, and at the same time one will help oneself.
If one is born in a country where Saturn is afflicted on a collective level, that means one has a debt concerning that matter, and the best thing one can do in such a cruel environment is to make use of all its past experiences (no matter what time or place one has been incarnated from) in order to help one’s environment and to “heal” it, because in such a way one is healing oneslef. Everyone has its own system of healing, and it is being regulated by the Universe (Nature). It is just necessary to harmonize what is experienced when an incarnation is ending, when according to past experiences one gets the most appropriate time and place in order to be healed.
Aspects with lunar nodal axis • • •
The Ethereal body axis Ascendent – Descendent The clean relationship field The key importance for evolution
Lunar nodes represent Moon. They represent in a certain way the past and the future Moon. Together they make axis which is actually Ascendent – Descendent axis of ethereal body, of being (entity) which is greater than the being represented by natal Ascendent – Descendent axis. Relations represented by nodal axis last much longer than this lifetime. These are the relations that cover three lives, because ethereal body is made of soul. Therefore, the karma brought by Lunar nodes is above all the karma of
10
relations – relations with other people, but it is also very important for general evolution of a native.
Lunar nodes aspects reveal, above all, what was happening in the field of relations in the previous incarnation. Contact between a planet and lunar nodes (except conjunction, which indicates another time) indicate a specific relation. Conjunction between a planet and North node is associated with creating of karma during this life for the next life, because karma is created by action, and North node represents “the Dragon’s mouth”, therefore, through it one acts or “takes” experiences. For example, just like one takes water in one’s mouth, drinks it, and then it goes through one’s body and revives it and finally one is liberated of water through South node. That represents the course, continuous circulating of energy, just as axis of the second and the eight house indicate food taking and throwing it out on the physical level - or as getting and spending money. Energy must circulate, because if its course is stopped or blocked, the karma of relations arise. That course (circulating) has to exist. Conjunction with North node represents the first phase, when a native is focused on taking, because that is an unconscious need for surviving. If a malefic planet is in conjunction with North node, a native will be challanged to create a bad karma for the next life. Any problematic position on North node represents a challenge for creating an action that will be a difficulty in the next life. It is the same when it comes to the ruler of North node and its aspects, that indicates the field of a native’s actions that create karma (it is where a native “eats”, takes). If aspects are inharmonious, unfavorable karma is being created, therefore a native should consider not taking something which is difficult, but instead accepting things that simply come. And it is very important that what a native takes is happy for being taken, for that is the way of creating a good karma. The next phase (after taking) represents the process of metabolizing. That is what one lives in this life, and which is the effect (consequence) of taking in the previous life; this is our whole life, because everything lies between North and South node in a horoscope. All experiences that are being metabolized are between these two primary points – North and South node.
11
The third phase indicates the liberation of these experiences and that is represented by South node. This phase indicates what was happening in a system while “water was passing through” this system. That sample of water (just as urine sample) shows everything that had been. This could be compared with taking a shower: before taking a shower there is water which is coming (North node), the shower itself is represented by Moon, whereas the water which flows down, and goes away is represented by South node. The water coming through water pipes is represented by North node, the water in a sink or bathtub is represented by Moon, and the water which is being drained is represented by South node. The cleaner the water is after taking a shower, more purified the Soul is. It would be ideal if the draining water could be as clean as the water coming through water pipes, because this would prove that the unity is attained. That third level (phase) is indicated by South node (as well as by its ruler and its aspects), and it represents the results of karma which was created in the life before the past life . The first level is associated with North node – the entrance in this life in which the next life is being created by current actions. The second level is associated with the past life (Moon itself), because the things that one is experiencing in this life were created by one’s actions in the past life (just as the process of metabolizing food and all experiences is the result of the type of food one previously chose to eat). The third level is associated with the life before the past life, because everything one is now liberating from is only the result of unmetabolized remains from the previous phase (life), and it was caused in the phase before that one, when one “had swallowed” certain experience through North node. Aspects with lunar nodes axis those that go into the relation with no attachment to anything, they are somewhere in between – in the process of metabolizing, meaning that one is experiencing now partucular relations which were caused or “swallowed” in the past life! Ptolemaic aspects are used only, and they usually indicate relationships involving two persons, refering to karmic partners. These relations are very important for Soul’s evolution. If there is a trine / sextile – that indicates a
12
relationship in this life with a person, who is very supportive for a native’s evolution, since that has already begun in the previous life. This indicates persons with whom a native had very good relationships in the past life and whom will be met in this life as well, therefore these are always karmic partners in some way, who are reconized by Soul in this life. If there is a square – that person (signified by the planet involved) is very significant as well, but in terms of resolving some relationship, therefore a native should particularly consider trying to be on good terms (harmonious) exactly with that person (no matter how difficult that might be). It is necessary to make this person happy, content, because a native owes it that, and a native by no means should reject it, which is possible when it comes to a square. It is certain that the condition of aspects with lunar nodes axis is the key indicator for level of evolution. The planet which forms trine / sextile to nodal axis is making possible for a native to unite opposites what is the most important thing, because when these opposites are united, at least two of three states of water are being united as well (and then it comes the third). That planet is very helpful in evolution. South node indicates relations which are problematic at the beginning and predestined for failure. But if a native succeeds to persevere these relations, or to pull through after reaching a bottom, then life is resuscitated.

Example No.1
Glenn Ford is the actor who started acting when he was five, and he played in most of the westerns (movies). Once he said that he considered himself a very happy man, because all his life he was doing what he liked the most, and that is riding horses and additionally being paid for it. Glenn Ford had a past life regression, and he stated that he had seen himself as equestrian officer in the French Army. How that could be seen in his horoscope? First of all the last Moon’s conjunction should be observed, which describes the last experience. Moon forms the last conjunction with Jupiter, and
14
Jupiter is the ruler of the fifth house, which additionally confirms how powerful that experience was. Jupiter symbolizes horses, and its position in the sign of Aries symbolically indicates an officer. Jupiter forms exact trine to Mars which is in the twelfth house (once again indicating the past life). Mars is placed in Leo, and it is about the French army. Aspect between Mars and Jupiter generally indicates officers, therefore it is concluded that his soul (Moon) strongly remebered that experience. At the same time Moon is the ruler of the twelfth house, which is an additional confirmation. Moon is almost at the degree of its exaltation contributing that the past life and the twelfth house are very powerful and revived. Moon has applying conjunction with Sun, which is the ruler of Ascendent. In other words, the rulers of the twelfth and the first house are joining in applying conjunction again indicating that a person remembered the past incarnation. The successful previous incarnation is indicated by trine between Jupiter, the ruler of the fifth house and Mars in Leo, as well as by powerful sextile with Uranus. Square between Jupiter and Saturn is waning and it is less powerful than previously mentioned two aspects, indicating that the past exam was passed mostly successfully. Such a good Jupiter was a support in this life, and he attained success (in conjunction with Sun) in this life as well, and he became famous for something he loved. This is quite a good story for a life, because the rulers of the twelfth, the first and the fifth house are related in a favorable way, and those are benefic planets indicating that one is happy, and this is the sign that one is on the right path and that one is doing what one was meant to do. And one is meant to do what was initiated by one’s soul in the past life. Rulers of the first and the fifth house united bring satisfaction and happiness, and that is the case only if one is united with one’s other SELF. The Karma of Attachment
The karma of attachment is the twelfth house story. In this case the cusp of the twelfth house is in Cancer, Neptune is placed at the beginning of the twelfth house that could indicate some secrets, which is also confirmed by its 29. degree. The ruler of the twelfth house is Moon, which is femenine planet in the femenine sign, but it has powerful conjunction with Sun, and Mars is in the twelfth house, therefore it could be concluded that this
15
person had masculine gender in the past incarnation as well, which is confirmed by the position of rulers of the twelfth and the first house which are in conjunction and in the same sign (the same as it was before), and now he is man. The conclusion is that he was the man and the man of some position, because Sun is at 10. degree and it is highly placed. At the same time, Sun forms sextile to Saturn confirming that a native used to be a man of high position. What is associated with the twelfth house which indicates that a native remained attached to that incarnation? Neptune is at 29 59’, and such a Neptune made possible for a native to see clearly its past incarnation, because it represents magnificent channel, since it is placed at special degree and in powerful sextile with Mercury. Mars in the twelfth house symbolizes that he remained attached to the image of himself as a strong man, mighty figure, as well as he is attached to the image of horses. Since this is well placed, he does not have problems with that in this life, but he continues that by acting in movies, he continues living that. If that was inharmoniously placed, he would have had the feeling of loss and he would have been attached to his past life with bad emotions. The Karma of Saturn
Saturn is in the sign of Cancer, in its detriment, which is not particularly favorable, and it is placed in the same sign along with Pluto indicating that the karma is related to native’s family since it is placed in Cancer, and Pluto is the ruler of the fourth house. This would be the indicator of inheriting family related circumstances which are certainly problematic – the family problem, with one of his parents (possibly father), with his ancestors. Saturn is closely conjuncting Sun of the United States of America horoscope, and the French had a powerful influence over America, so there is a doubt, since he lives in America in this life, where he is acting in westerns, that he might have ended the last incarnation as the French soldier on the territory of America. Or he might have had created a karma by killing some people in that period on the USA territory. Since Saturn could be considered as what Mars used to be in the past, its conjunction with
16
Pluto symbolizes quite unpleasant events, murders, that exist deeply within genetics. At the same time, sextile between the past Mars (Saturn) and Sun is also indicating a powerful man of high position, and Mars in Cancer and Sun in Taurus could also indicate that there used to be a problem associated with a country which eventually the native might have been usurping illegitimately. Since there are no inharmonious Saturn aspects, this is not the prominent karma of Saturn. The situation concerning nodal axis is far more interesting. The ruler of the twelfth house (the past life) Moon is squaring nodal axis, which symbolize the past life as well, and lunar nodes symbolize a relation, therefore the conclusion is that there is a problem concerning some relationship, and since it is associated with Moon, supposedly it is a relationship with a woman, but a married woman (Moon conjunction Sun). On the basis of that, it could be predicted that he will have a similar experience in this life as well, with someone who is already engaged or married (the dispositor of Moon is placed in Gemini – parallel love affairs), because she needs to terminate that relationship. And that is a woman who was chasing him, who might have been pregnant, who is going towards him, and there is a possibility that he is involved in more relationships, because its dispositor is related to the constellation of Orion, the story about the giant, soldier who deserts women. It could be supposed according to this same aspect that there is also a problem associated with parents, beginning of life, family, which is confirmed by conjunction of Saturn and Pluto in Cancer, and Sun and Moon are placed at the degrees which are parents analogue (the fourth and the tenth house) and in square with nodal axis. Connecting all of this in one story: he was born in the family he didn’t belong to, and since he was the French in the past incarnation – why was he born in America? Because of the debt he had because he had harmed someone, not directly and personally, but as a soldier – that is the reason why he has the debt on this territory. On the other hand, the conclusion is that there is a karmic problem associated with women.
17
Jupiter as the ruler of the fifth house forms square to Saturn, which could also indicate some legal issues, but since it is about the orb of seven degrees this more fits into those relationship issues. These problems are also confirmed by applying square between rulers of the first and the seventh house. The native has no retrograde planets which is rare, meaning that there are no debts in terms of having to end something. The rulers of the first and the fifth house are well related through the ninth house, indicating that the native will likely succeed in uniting three lives in a positive way. According to everything, the conclusion is that he has the karma associated with lunar nodes, but he is generally happy.

Example No. 2
Saint Teresa of Avila is the well known saint. She was born in a religious family, and by the age of twenty she was admitted to the monastic order of Carmelites . This is a very strict female monastic order in which they marry the Church. Most of them never left curch. She advanced rapidly in hierarchy of the monastic order and she organized one special spartan monastic order and fifteen spiritual missions. She was placing emphasis on renunciation of everything and she founded monastic orders completely devoted to poverty and helping others. She was very important and well known. She died by the end of XVI century and in XVII century she was canonized as saint. Even during her life she was treated as a holy person. In the church where she served is kept her heart, which remained completely intacted to this day – there is no signs of decay, which is confirmed by surgeons and scientists.

Body is a parameter of liberation. The state of what one leaves behind oneself, the state of one’s South node is essential. Has that body remained so revived that it could be perfect? That is not possible for one life. Three lives are necessary for making that possible, and three successive lives in which one played one’s role impeccably. Time (more lives) is required for spiritual progress, and people are usually devoted to it just in one life, and spiritual life is usually initiated by some problem. Most of the people in monasteries and temples are those who failed in life, who have generally been losers in various fields, therefore monasticism is the best solution for them, because they are being healed in such a way. Their choice is the consequence of their incapability to succeed in other areas of life, and the consequence of being burdened by a certain problem. The twelfth house (monastery) represents purification, therefore there is inclination towards it when a problem arise. In the next life they are partially purified and they feel an ease, so they chose another path, and that is not sufficient for purification, for complete spiritual development. It is very rare that one is so devoted and dedicated in three lives, it is rare that one has such a powerful spiritual impulse (motivation) and then one is creating. To make a system which could revive three states of water all at once, three lives all at once, it is necessary that one works on a great project, greater than one life.
In the case of Saint Teresa, Moon leaves Jupiter, which is in Gemini, the sign of its detriment, in conjunction with Mars, but also in sextile with powerful Sun (golden medal) and Mercury, therefore Jupiter is supportive for her in this life. Jupiter is also in trine with Neptune in the twelfth house (the past life) which is the image of a person who was highly ranked in spiritual hierarchy in the past incarnation, that is confirmed by the dispositor of Neptune, which is placed in the ninth house at the sixth degree (service) of Sagittarius. Neptune is exalted, almost at the degree of its exaltation, where South node is also placed, and South node in the twelfth house symbolizes the life before the past life, therefore the conclusion is that a person then had initiated the story with Neptune.

It could be asked why is Jupiter, the planet of the last Moon’s conjunction, in Gemini? Was she traveling? And what about Mars? Wars and journeys. This is the illustration of missions! The first conjunction formed by Moon is with Saturn, which is in opposition with Jupiter and Mars, symbolizing that a native in this incarnation is gathering all its mistakes, and mistakes are indicated by Jupiter’s lack of Saturn (opposition). These mistakes could be associated with violence (Jupiter / Mars) and in this life she joins the monastic order of Carmelites, which is authentic illustration (image) of Saturn in the ninth house at the sixth degree of Sagittarius. Everything is accepted completely! Her body is signified by South node (therefore, what a native is being released from), which is placed at the very degree of Neptune’s exaltation and in very powerful conjunction with Neptune – strongly indicating very spiritual physiology which a native had already initiated developing in the previous incarnation (in the twelfth house). It is patricularly interesting that the planet Moon is approaching to – this incarnation – is Saturn placed on the cusp of the ninth house which represents the future life, and the ruler of the ninth house is Jupiter, which is the planet of the last Moon’s conjunction – the past life. Her past life is the future life, because it is in the future! May it be supposed that her past life was in the future in relation to the time when she was born and that she is coming back? Venus is placed exactly on Ascendent and at the last degree of the last sign, and it is retrograde. It comes back from 0 degree of Aries, from a new cycle. It comes back to gather whatever it takes! There are certain incarnations where soul comes from the future time into the past, and her past life, the life before that one was in another time. That is not typical and it indicates a certain mission because a native comes back with certain intention, and to do that a native always has to embody itself, to incarnate. Coming back to the past is coming back into the body, for one’s past is one’s body. And people generally go towards future. They do not think of their body, but of something ahead of them and that is why time for them moves from yesterday towards tomorrow. If one would focus on body one would turn process of ageing, of everything, because by going back into the past everything that was disordered could be put in order,

everything could be balanced, and that would slow the ageing process. That is the mechanism. Saint Teresa of Avila brought her body to perfection: she is going toward Saturn, which is the ruler of the South node (body) – she completed everything. Homework No. 2
