PAST LIVES, KARMA & YOUR HOROSCOPE By Judi Thomases
When the South Node is in the third house, the person was overly intellectual,
perhaps relying on logic more than faith, or brains more than heart. There might have
been issues involving relatives, neighbors, or the community. The mind was agitated
with an excess of trivial thoughts. A gossipy nature is likely.
With the South Node in the fourth house, matters involving property and
buildings can be tricky. Family can be a source of discord. The person might have
chosen sanctuary and seclusion over a more public role, so that the continuing desire
to retreat becomes a predicament.
When the South Node is in the fifth house, if children ensue they may be
unloving or uninvolved. The pleasure principle might have been overly emphasized,
and should not be made too prominent this time. The person may have shirked
responsibility.
With the South Node in the sixth house, there is the likelihood of hypochondria.
Physical disease might be overly emphasized. There might also be difficulties through
job conditions, co-workers, and even small animals.
If the South Node falls in the seventh house, the person might have given up
personal power to be co-dependent and live in the shadow of another. Guilt and
over-accommodation are likely.
When in the eighth house, the indicator is that there could be losses of
possessions, and there was over-much reliance upon funding from another. Sex
and/or occultism might be booby-traps. Brooding upon death is also possible.
To have the South Node in the ninth house is not favorable for long voyages or
relocations to distant places. Here the person can be a fantasist or have blind faith,
and might have cloistered themselves in a religious institution.
With the South Node in the tenth house, a public role that stoked ego would not
be advisable now. Fame and prominence were important goals. This soul must build
up inner resources, and a more humble role for the purpose of developing the spiritual
nature.
When the South Node falls in the eleventh house, friends can be frustrating or
false, and others’ values or goals distracting. Here it would be better to avoid
membership in disadvantageous clubs, groups or organizations, and instead develop
creative self-expression.
Finally, when the South Node is in the twelfth house, many secret, even karmic
problems can be foremost. The person might have been imprisoned, institutionalized
or self-sabotaging, or allowed afflictions of themselves or others to overwhelm.
Looking at the South Node in its different zodiac signs, in Aries there was
aggression and belligerence, even a warrior lifetime. Relaxation was not understood.
In Taurus, there was excessive materialism or possessiveness, and maybe an
indulgence in rich foods. The person might have farmed.
In Gemini, there might have been superficiality, glibness, and an inability to
pursue the depth of any subject. The word dilettante fits this.

Bear in mind that the South Node also indicates the lessons endured and the skills
honed. Thus, in these house and sign placements each of these dire framings also
carries the potential of past wisdom and earthly talents. From this perspective, Aries
offers courage, Taurus perseverance, Gemini sociability, Cancer nurturance, Leo
leadership, Virgo discernment, Libra artistry, Scorpio power, Sagittarius vision,
Capricorn reliability, Aquarius genius, and Pisces spirituality.
To correctly analyze a person’s horoscope in terms of past lives, the astrologer
may pick equally (and validly) from the negative choices or from the positives.

Similarly, the South Node conjunct one’s Ascendant mandated expressing your
personality to the fullest, even being a celebrity. This time, partnerships will be essential
(North Node conjunct Descendant).
When one’s Moon conjuncts the South Node, a female likely was deeply
important, probably but not always a family member. Sensitivity and emotionality
were significant ingredients of that lifetime. Family ties were close and may remain so
into the present.
Mercury conjunct the South Node indicates a past life as a communicator,
writing or speaking, and a young male such as a brother or a buddy played a big
part. Talent with language continues.
Venus conjunct the South Node shows artistic talent being brought forward, and
the likelihood of a loving tie with a sister figure.
If Mars ties to the South Node, belligerence and courage were marked. The
person could have made their mark in war or leadership but might not have polished
his/her people skills. The energy system is dynamic.
If Jupiter holds this position, fine ethics, good character, and embodying a
positive role model bring protection and luck into the present. The person might have
been a respected member of society, even a religious leader or guru.
If Saturn conjuncts the South Node, much restriction and responsibility weighted
down the past, and the person might be fearful, stingy, cold, or meek. Death by
starvation was possible. Caring for one’s elders might have been uppermost. Poverty-
consciousness now needs to be overcome.
If Uranus conjuncts the South Node, here is a revolutionary or activist
participating in crusades and causes that sought to overthrow the existing order. The
person may eschew normalcy and pursue iconoclasm. Willfulness remains hard to
dissolve.
Neptune conjunct the South Node can indicate either a life of drunkenness or as
a psychic! The person might have been mentally ill or over-imaginative. In any case,
weakness and impressionability must be overcome.
When Pluto hovers near the South Node, an abuse of power – wielded by you or
foisted upon you – occurred. You might have tried your hand at research or dug
mines. Great resources were at your disposal. You may have been a tyrant, a bully…
or a physicist!
If the South Node is conjunct the person’s Midheaven, see above regarding the
tenth house. If it conjuncts the IC, see above regarding the fourth house.

souls. Many lifetimes are required to complete a particular cycle of growth and
wisdom, with such a pattern of many late degrees showing a wrap-up of this specific
lesson. (Many more lesson cycles are still to come.)
Similarly, a chart with lots of planets and angles at very early degrees often
indicates that a person is beginning a fresh cycle in their continuing reincarnational
passage. It rarely indicates, however, that the person is a baby soul, altogether new in
his/her human journey.

Yet another indicator of past life development might be the person’s goals and
dreams. These are harder to skry but as a general rule, more idealism and less
materialism is the gauge of the older soul. Look to the ninth (values) and eleventh
(goals) houses, to the North Node, or to planets referring more to love and beauty
rather than pleasure and desire.
For example, Neptune conjunct either of the lights, Venus in Pisces, and the Sun
or Jupiter in Sagittarius in late degrees trine a personal planet would tell of an evolved,
gentle and wise soul. On the other hand, Pluto in Capricorn second house square
Mars/South Node in Aries with a “loaded” Scorpio eighth house might indicate a
hostile, manipulative and greedy individual.
CASE STUDIES
The concept of a soul’s age is worth our deep consideration in chart interpretation
because, not only do we go after dissimilar goals depending upon our soul maturity,
but we handle our challenges (transits) differently and tend to make better choices
with our current options as we evolve. The more past lives, the older the soul. The
older the soul, the greater the wisdom.
The subject of soul age is well delineated in a non-astrological book called
“Messages from Michael”, by Chelsea Quinn Yarbro. Young souls, who are often very
accomplished and successful, pursue lower goals such as power, fame, status, or
wealth. Older souls pursue goals such as self-expression, beauty, peace, and service.
Keeping in mind that everyone has Saturn in their chart somewhere, and is thus
dealing with trials, our assessment as astrologers is to figure out from the horoscope
who is who. The following examples might help:

Note the extreme emphasis on materialism (Moon, Sun, Uranus, Midheaven, South
Node, and Venus in Taurus; Venus at 29° Taurus), the self-indulgence (Venus in t-square
to Ascendant, and Jupiter), the cynicism and obsessiveness (Mercury square Pluto),
and the egotism (Leo Ascendant in Grand Fixed Square to Venus, Jupiter, and North
Node). This was a fresh start of incarnations (New Moon birth) to deal with the past
issue of greed regarding other’s assets (Node in Scorpio), but obviously it was not
handled wisely. This is the horoscope of Bernie Madoff.

PAST LIVES, KARMA & YOUR HOROSCOPE By Judi Thomases
Note the healing Chiron/ Node conjunction in the eighth house, the rebellious but
visionary-teacher Sagittarian influence from the past, the Moon/ Neptune and
Neptune/ Jupiter conjunctions, with Neptune at Sag’s last degree, and the loving Sun/
Venus conjunction in the Cancerian ninth house. This woman is a young tarot
professional and student of shamanism. The prominent Saturn placement in the first
house, heavily afflicted yet helped by its sextile to Jupiter, and the equally prominent
Pluto placement angular at the last degree of Libra in the twelfth indicate the weighty
karma that must be rebalanced during this lifetime.
