HOW TO USE THIS REPORT
In the pages which follow, you will see descriptions of your
character traits, relationship potentials and challenges, as
well as career potentials, and even more.
All or most of these sometimes intimate descriptions will be
linked in some way with your past lives and your experiences in
the planetary realms between lifetimes (the interlife).
Yet, you may ask, how can this information best be used?
First, HELP YOURSELF. The enclosed uplifting commentary can
only be truly beneficial if you see it as a means of self-help
and self-transformation. So to get the maximum practical
benefit out of each page of this report, jeanne, focus on
connecting what you read with what is going on in your life now.
Next, LOOK FOR PATTERNS. When you see repeated references --
for instance to similar careers, pursuits or vocations -- you
should consider these references seriously. They demonstrate a
positive karmic connection which you now have with these same
career-related potentials from past life endeavors. So, because
of prior life success, these areas of expression should be
easier for you to find rewarding or to succeed in, as compared
with in other areas.
Also, pay close attention to REMEDIAL MEASURES. For instance,
you may be given an affirmation to use in meditation (or a
prayer). Or you may be given a crystal/gemstone to wear. These
means of balancing out challenging vibrations can indeed be very
helpful, especially if used in a hopeful manner.
Finally, this report is a synthesis of past life and planetary
interlife interpretations originally given clairvoyantly by
Edgar Cayce, for individuals with your same planetary patterns
at birth. So in applying this report to your personal life,
jeanne, you should RESPECT INNER GUIDANCE -- through dreams,
meditation and past life regression for example -- as primary
resources for this kind of information; and most important,
RESPECT YOUR FREE WILL! You alone must choose and know what is
really best for you.
What is Karmic Astrology, how does it "work" and how
does it relate to reincarnation?
In ancient Egypt, Persia, India, Greece, Rome and in
native cultures around the world, it was popularly believed that
astrology was actually based on reincarnation, karma and the
afterlife. By karma is meant the meeting of oneself in the
present through thoughts and deeds from the past. According to
the Edgar Cayce readings and the teachings of Rudolf Steiner,
all planets, including the Sun and the Moon, have been part of
your afterlife experience in your passage between death and a
new birth in each lifetime. Astrology, then, cannot be separated
from reincarnation (vice versa). It operates not through the
signs of the zodiac, but according to a combination of
emotional, earthly past life karma and mental, mostly
subconscious urges from your unique planetary sojourns between
earth lives.
How does the Cayce approach to reincarnation and
astrology reveal the meaning and purpose of life?
In gaining a deeper comprehension of your experiences
-- physical as well as spiritual -- in the realms of earth, Sun,
Moon and other planets, know that all these experiences,
challenging or otherwise, are opportunities for you to
accomplish this single mission. Therefore, jeanne, use whatever
you have in hand -- whether it be astrology, reincarnation,
scripture study, chanting, music, meditation, prayer or your
dream life --to enhance your inner awareness.
Your planetary journeys in the afterlife, then,
represent lessons in consciousness and each new earth life is an
opportunity to apply -- and ultimately to perfect -- the lessons
learned in these heavenly visitations. Again, the purpose of
this Cosmic Course is to develop spiritually and
comprehensively.
What are "astrological aspects" and "planetary
sojourns" and how are they related to the planets of the solar
system?
"Planetary sojourns" are frequently mentioned in the
Edgar Cayce readings. They denote your consciousness experiences
- - afterlife soul journeys -- in the non-physical dimensions
between lives. The different dimensions of these spiritual
experiences are linked with the orbits of the planets around the
sun. Cayce also calls these interplanetary experiences
"astrological aspects." The personal interpretations researched
and written for your planetary sojourns begin with the Moon,
which serves as a kind of base station from which to review the
life just ended and to travel in the heavens before starting a
new earth life. Planetary sojourns include afterlife experiences
involving the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus
and Neptune (Pluto is rarely mentioned in the Cayce readings and
is therefore excluded).
How are planetary sojourns related to the imagination
and to our subconscious urges?
As souls between lifetimes we experience each of the
ten planetary sojourns as an attribute ultimately to be
perfected, both in Spirit and in the flesh. Now, each planetary
heaven has a peculiar mental-spiritual vibration which is just a
little higher than the physical vibration of the earth. Each
thought vibration experienced in these planetary heavens
uniformly resonates to a common urge, principle or mental image.
For example,love and beauty are the basic vibrations
making up the common principle of the Venus dimension to be
perfected, how to deal with anger and aggression is the lesson
peculiar to Mars, while communication and intellectual ability
is the dominant chord of Mercury.
Cayce illustrates our thought vibrations and inner
urges from our planetary sojourns -- and the lessons we are to
learn from our experiences there -- through the metaphor of
attending different colleges. Going to one university or another
makes for an idiom, mode of speech, lifestyle or attitude which
is unique to that place of learning and living. In other words,
our mental urges and images make up the essence or the SPIRIT of
the institution which was attended. Even though their major
field of study might be the same, one student might go to
Harvard, another to Yale, and yet another to Oxford, Stanford or
the University of Arizona. These students would carry with them
the vibrations they created by their years of activity and
influence upon -- however small -- those universities and
college towns. In this way, then, not only do your inclinations
and inner tendencies arise from your activity in a given
planetary sojourn between lives, but you can potentially
influence the planets more than they influence you!
On my own, can I discover my past lives and planetary
sojourns? If so, how should I treat the information in this
profile?
Your imagination as well as your dreams draw on your
unique reservoir of these mostly subconscious mental urges and
inclinations. As a result, jeanne, your planetary soul journeys
-- and your past lives as well -- make for impressions or
vibrations which you can tap into through your dreams and during
your deeper meditations, as well as during hypnotic regressions.
With this in mind, take care that you balance your inner
guidance and intuitions about your past lives with the
information provided in your personal profile. Cayce emphasized
that we each know within everything we need to know about
ourselves, past, present and future. Attunement to your own
Higher Self, then, should always take priority over information
from sources outside yourself (including this profile).
If some of the material in my reading appears to be
inconsistent or contradictory, how can this be explained?
Interpretations of different types of patterns between
planets of somewhat opposite natures may come up in your
reading. One thing this means is that you are perhaps more
complex than you thought you were. Another is that you could be
expressing contrasting qualities at different times. Most
likely, however, you expressed tendencies to behave in certain
ways or to think along certain lines at one time in your life,
say when you were young, but have simply outgrown these patterns
at this point in your life.
Above all, take the information in your profile and
carefully, prayerfully weigh it against what you have learned
from going within in meditation, or in your dream life. Always
remember that you are your own best source of information about
you, whether you are consciously aware of it or not!
How are the Cayce Readings used to identify my previous
incarnations and planetary sojourns?
With nearly 8,000 indexed references to astrology
--mostly to planets -- there is obviously a vast amount of
astrological material in the Edgar Cayce readings. With all its
uplifting spiritual counseling involving past lives, planetary
afterlife journeys and present opportunities for growth, this
material indeed has practical, immediate value in our lives
today. After all, while we each are unique, with unique
birthtimes and birthcharts, we all have in common the fact that
a horoscope can be erected for the time we were born. Horoscopes
can also be set up for the individuals who received the Cayce
readings. Therefore astrology is a valid way to link and apply
the readings' rich contents to seekers such as yourself who did
not have the great fortune of getting a "life reading" from
Edgar Cayce.
Using the birth data provided at the beginning of each
Cayce reading, with the aid of computers hundreds of horoscopes
were set up for the individuals who received the original
readings. Planet positions in a given birthchart were carefully
compared with what the corresponding reading had to say about
that same individual's planets and past life experiences. A
given reading's interpretations of two previous planetary
sojourn influences upon a certain soul, for instance Mercury and
Jupiter, was compared with the type of aspect pattern found
between Mercury and Jupiter in that individual's horoscope.
Interpretations of your aspects and past lives, then,
are a synthesis of material from readings given for individuals
with your very same patterns. Thus, jeanne, in your personal
profile, you will find past life and planetary sojourning
interpretations based on what the Edgar Cayce readings say about
your unique planetary patterns.
Also, most of the narratives which comprise your
profile identify your career potentials and relationship
dynamics. Some include health indicators and suggest remedial
measures like wearing specific planetary gemstones and using
prayer, affirmations, auto-suggestion and working with ideals.
Yet to get the most out of your Profile, link your study of it
with your meditation, prayer and dream life. And remember that
in your deeper meditations and dreams you can tap into your
subconscious mind. You can thereby retrieve valuable guidance on
how to use your experiences in former lives and planetary soul
journeys between lives toward greater soul growth this lifetime.
What are planetary patterns and how are they referred
to in the Cayce readings?
Simple geometric patterns or angles between planets
mentioned by Cayce in a reading for someone were frequently
found in the corresponding birthchart for the individual who
received the reading. Three main categories of aspect patterns
have been found in the readings and therefore are employed in
your profile. First, there is the conjunction, which occurs when
two or more planets are conjoined, or in the same place in the
zodiac. (The most easily recognized conjunctions are those at a
New Moon or an eclipse, when the Sun and Moon are conjoined).
Next there are harmonious patterns between planets.
Considered as flowing and easy, harmonious aspect patterns were
described by Cayce as "benevolent" and "beneficial." Harmonious
patterns represent resources available for our use this lifetime
(for instance, in our careers). Harmonious angles are basically
triangular or hexagonal in shape, like the honeycomb and the
snowflake. To be more specific, two planets are in a harmonious
pattern when they are 1/3 or 1/6 of the zodiac away from each
other. When 1/3 of the zodiac apart, the angle formed between
two planets is a triangle (called a trine for short). When 1/6
of the zodiac separates two planets, the angle formed is
hexagonal in shape. This is called a sextile aspect.
Generally, then, the more harmonious aspects -- the
sextile, trine and some instances of the conjunction -- were
psychically seen by Cayce as generally indicating resourceful
life experiences. For example, in many instances, especially
when involving your Sun, Mars and Jupiter, these more flowing,
positive aspects indicate you have natural potentials for
leadership, from your having been a leader in one or more past
lives.
Last, there is the inharmonious pattern between planets
at your birth. Representing challenges to convert into
opportunities for spiritual growth, Cayce consistently referred
to these patterns as "adverse" or "afflictions". The angle
formed can be that of a square, or a perpendicular angle, when
planets are 1/4 of the zodiac away from each other. On the other
hand, planets can be 1/2 of the zodiac apart. They are then, of
course, opposite each other in the heavens. In fact, the most
widely known inharmonious pattern is the Full Moon, when the Sun
and Moon are opposite each other. Incidentally, the square is
more internal, while the opposition is more external. The
opposition shows areas where compromise is needed with others
with whom you have karma to work out from past lives.
Moreover, there is a distinct internal consistency to
the readings' details on past lives and soul journeys in the
planetary dimensions as compared with the type of aspect found
in the corresponding horoscope. The inharmonious aspects are
consistently identified by Cayce as indicating a lack of will
power. This is especially the case with the square aspect. The
opposition aspect is characterized by Cayce specifically as
presenting "adverse conditions" in the form of self-doubt, or
being "afflicted" in applying principles in a spirit of
compromise with others. Again, these are karmic conditions
--"meeting self" as Cayce put it -- from previous incarnations.
How can meditation best be used in connection with the
Cayce information about my planetary patterns? Also, what kind
of results can be expected from using affirmations on a regular
basis?
To begin with, the interpretations of your planetary
patterns which make up your profile are paraphrased from the
original Cayce readings. They are a representation of your
collective experience from the past. Each planetary pattern
depicts a portion of your overall personal pattern. Taken
collectively, then, your planetary patterns show the precise
stage of growth and development you have attained prior to this
lifetime. Therefore, jeanne, understanding your patterns and
working with their energies play a vital role in releasing past
behaviors which have become stumblingblocks in the present.
Recently, a way was devised to help you do this.
Affirmations have been written for many of the narratives. They
describe a certain energy pattern that the planets in the
pattern represent. By using these affirmations, several
important things happen. First, you begin to acknowledge the
influence your aspects exert on your life. Second, in the case
of harmonious, flowing patterns, repeating the affirmations and
saying the prayers gives you a chance to recognize, affirm,
appreciate and give thanks for your good qualities.
As you use the affirmations with a sincere heart and on
a regular basis, you will begin to notice subtle changes in your
situation. In time, jeanne, these changes will become dynamic
vehicles for growth. There is no better way to mitigate
"negative" astrological and past life influences and to enhance
the benefits of your "positive" traits than through
affirmations.
Overall, then, how can I best direct my free will
toward greater soul development in this life and prepare for my
next lifetime?
First, all influences from planetary sojourns are
related to your unique past life history. This is in turn is
entirely subject to the action of your free will. Cayce
repeatedly makes this point. Whether flowing or difficult,
harmonious or inharmonious, your planetary patterns -- as seen
through Cayce's clairvoyant eyes -- reveal how you can best
direct your will toward greater soul growth this lifetime. As
you study your reading, jeanne, especially note any patterns
which emerge, such as multiple mention of the same career or
relationship potential or likely past life. These themes should
take on special significance in your search and present areas
you are likely to continue growing in during your next lifetime.
Most important, though is the necessity to recall that
ALL apparent obstacles in your path are spiritual growth
opportunities. They are to be welcomed by your will and blessed
from your heart. Whether pointing to past achievements or
failures, your planetary patterns show what kind of resources
are available or are in need of development, both in this life
and the next, through the application of your will.
Your birthmap or horoscope containing these planetary
patterns is therefore no more of a "cause" for future failure or
success than is your high school or college transcript a cause
for your failure or success in life. Both your birthmap and
educational transcript indicate mental training from learning
experiences of different kinds and on a variety of levels. All
are subject to change through the application of your free
will.
Your birth chart interpretation is based on the positions of
the planets at the time of your birth as interpreted through the
Edgar Cayce readings for individuals with your very same
planetary positions at birth. For the benefit of students of
astrology, these positions, along with other technical
information, are listed below:
Sun position is 18 deg. 54 min. of Aries
Moon position is 24 deg. 27 min. of Taurus
Mercury position is 7 deg. 07 min. of Taurus

Your Cayce Past Life Report begins on the following page . . .
Your Sun is in an inharmonious aspect with Neptune.
You are very unusual, jeanne, highly intuitive and
psychic. You should be closely associated with those who study
such phenomena from the spiritual viewpoint, rather than purely
academically, as phenomena only. You are a dreamy soul and
certainly should keep a dream journal: through your dreams,
meditations and even daydream-reveries you have a natural mode
of expression in which you can be a source of helpful guidance.
Through recording your dream life you can warn and guide many
other people, as well as yourself.
You are highly emotional, almost obsessive at times,
yet very calm at others. This shifting of feelings is rooted in
your difficulty in seeing clearly where your emotions are
involved. This can result in self-deception upon occasion, and
should be balanced by a focus on spiritual principles and ideals
rather than metaphysical ideas.
While sincerity is a very important virtue to you,
others do not always interpret your actions in this way. One
reason for the disillusionment that comes with your likely
conflict between integrity and deceitfulness is your tendency to
be continually seeking that which is just beyond your grasp.
This mystical, spiritual perfectionist attitude on one hand
makes it difficult for projects to be completed, while on the
other at times causes others to doubt both your intentions and
your real abilities. In turn, you may begin to seriously doubt
them too.
While going even most of your life appearing to be
peculiar to other people and rarely understood, you have
exceptional spiritual insight concerning soul development in the
earth plane. You are one whom others may be greatly benefited
through their contact with you.
You should also stay close to water, jeanne, yet not
deep water like that crossed during long voyages. The water
influence from Neptune will always be strong in your body-mind
and will help keep you tuned to a higher spiritual
consciousness.
As a writer, the kind of unusual story you might excel
in would have to do with the sea on one hand, say the situation
of castaways on a South Sea isle. Alternatively, you could write
imaginatively about souls in a purely spiritual or holy life,
such as monks, nuns, priests and others who have taken celibacy
vows yet are faced with the demands of the material world.
As a remedial measure to balance out vibratorily the
challenges described above, wearing the pearl would be well.
Your Moon is conjoined with Venus.
You are an artistic and romantic type of person, a
natural quality you probably inherited from past lives where you
were socially active and involved with the arts in some way.
Also, jeanne, from one or more experiences between
lives in the Venus dimension of love and beauty, you are
physically attractive and have a pleasing personality .
Venus is the realm of afterlife awareness which is most
similar to the earth, especially as regards material desires and
emotions. Therefore with your Venusian background from past
lives as well as between lives, you are likely to have an
intense, earthy yet subconscious sensuality. (Incidentally,
males with this pattern tend to select a mate especially for her
sex appeal and physical beauty.)
Also, jeanne, there may be times when your somewhat
intense sexuality and desire nature need balance. This can be
accomplished by applying your will to spiritualize your
relationships through setting and consistently applying high
moral standards and ideals.
For instance, you might pray (although in your own
words), "I feel a close kinship with all living things, for
their beauty is reflected in my own sensitive nature. Lord, may
I be blessed with a loving disposition without falling prey to
situations that demand nothing less than total personal
involvement. Protect me from soliciting the attentions of others
for selfish reasons. With Your love to guide me, Lord, I pray
that I may learn how to express my feelings in appropriate
ways."
Your Moon is in a harmonious aspect with Jupiter.
High ennobling qualities are yours from your soul
journey in the Jupiter sphere between lives. Uplifting
influences, then, arise from your experiences in both your
Jupiter sojourn and in past life positions of prominence, most
likely on a high, history-making level as a spiritual leader.
You are then, a loving, noble soul in your interactions with
others, causing them to have faith in themselves (and in you).
In fact, jeanne, with your greater possibilities in
giving aid in every manner, you would make a WONDERFUL minister.
You would also be successful in management, administration,
economics an politics. Coming from your past lives of service on
behalf of others, you may guide and direct many souls this
lifetime.
While you have quite a temper, you are very capable of
controlling it and turning it into channels through which better
influences come, both to yourself and to others.
You should also have a greater deal of the world's
material goods for you to use and share with others. You are
therefore one with an elevating outlook and lifestyle, and will
give a lot to the development of other souls.
Drawing on the resourceful side of your akashic record
-- where your soul development through caring service from past
lives is stored -- you are likely to experience great blessings.
While some may see you as "lucky", jeanne, what is really
happening is that soul links from previous compassionate
incarnations are attracted to you and want to help you. This
good karma will especially bring you benefits in your home life,
particularly concerning your mother, with whom you have a
strong, mutually beneficial bond from your deep cosmic past.
Your Moon is in a harmonious aspect with Saturn.
From our past lives the Moon mirrors our karma back to
us for our growth in the present life. One way this works is
through the aspect formed at birth between the Moon and other
planets, such as Saturn. Your favorable aspect pattern between
the Moon and Saturn reflects for your use this lifetime
resources from the "plus" side of your akashic ledger. That is,
you are again presenting to yourself positive karma from past
earth lives.
For instance, jeanne, in a prior incarnation -- perhaps
your previous one -- you were probably responsible for a
public-oriented institution or organization involved with
education in some way. In the present you have a very strong
sense of duty, excellent organizational skills, a good nurturing
capacity, extraordinary teaching abilities and can well handle
responsibilities working with any organization that does
business or deals with the public.
Bear in mind that earth incarnations are principally
emotional experiences. The fortunate timing with which you chose
to reenter the earth plane carried into your new life a basic
harmony between your feelings and emotions on one hand and your
practicality and common sense on the other.
Introversion, however, is likely; yet you are quite
able to use your introverted urge in a constructive, practical
manner as a distinct opportunity for soul development. For
instance, jeanne, you can use your "loner" tendency to maintain
your self-confidence, spiritual attunement and consistency
concerning the ideals and higher personal goals you have set for
yourself this lifetime.
Your Mercury is conjoined with Mars.
Your participation in spats or arguments can become
very disturbing through the anger felt. At times you may even
like to argue. You are very self-determined yet with high mental
abilities. You are nonetheless one that can be easily reasoned
with. You will resent any strong criticism or undue pressure
being put upon you in requiring you to do things.
You are not only exceptionally intelligent but at times
somewhat power hungry. There is the likelihood of feeling
intellectually self-important as a result of your high mental
abilities. This inclines you to desire positions of fame and
power. We should always be reminded that power in our hands when
we do not consider the Source of all power can be worse than an
albatross around our neck: it can be a millstone which drowns
us.
A past life as an astrologer-soothsayer or powerful
priest in ancient times, say in Persia or Egypt, may constitute
the karmic roots for your tendencies intellectually to overpower
and manipulate others with your knowledge. Long ago you may have
used your position for personal gain with the result that in the
present there may be tendencies toward self-exaltation. Present
misuse of mental -- specifically higher consciousness -- powers,
is probably rooted in just such a selfish lifetime long ago.
Since then, jeanne, your likely sojourns in the
consciousness dimensions of Mercury and Mars have brought your
occasional intellectual power-tripping into the present. One way
to keep such urges under control is to hold fast to an ideal
founded neither in earthly or exclusively intellectual things.
Instead, set an ideal rooted not only in spiritual applications
of your own remarkable mental gifts, but also in that of others.
You are exceptionally well balanced mentally and
physically. You are prone to giving and demanding much detail
work both from yourself and from others. You have a strong
striving for detail as well as an overall practical orientation
of your strong mental energies. You are inclined toward the
study especially of historic subjects. You have an open mind,
apparently, on any question, yet you make all final decisions
for yourself.
The major challenge to these potentials is what could
be your mild hangup on being mentally high and mighty. That is,
jeanne, you are probably very determined in your purposes,
perhaps going at times to extremes to gratify personal wishes
which are unexplainable to others. You are one that might do
well to heed the injunction, "Mind not high things but humble
yourself to men of low estate".
In a past life in ancient Egypt in the Court of the
Pharaohs for instance, you were probably of high estate. Before
that you may well have been a teacher in India, where your
present extraordinary mental powers and dexterity had its
origins.
Your Mercury is harmoniously patterned with Uranus.
Your sojourn in Mercury gives you a very high mental
capacity -- near that of genius -- with reference to absorbing,
remembering and communicating details, especially in writing and
talking with others. Your Uranian experience together with a
parallel lifetime in Atlantis makes you a highly sensitive soul.
This is expressed in your psychic abilities as well as your
originality and inventiveness.
Ideas are rampant in your mind, jeanne, making you a
continuous theorist and ideologist. This is especially true in
esoteric, astrological and psychic matters in their deeper and
broader sense, rather than on the more superficial level of psi
phenomena. Yet you receive the greater proportion of your mental
urges and inventiveness from your own clairvoyance. Together
with the extremes which are likely to be to you the everyday
norm, these psychic impressions may be confusing. Hence the need
for centering on the promises of the Master -- Himself the
ultimate Uranian in Whom all extremes meet -- especially as He
gave in John 14-17.
In writing and counseling -- complemented by lecturing
-- you may accomplish the most in the present experience. Your
appreciation of wisdom and the mental abilities of others,
together with your desire to give expression to these make you a
natural teacher. Other more Atlantean areas may also be suitable
outlets for your rather remarkable intellectual abilities. On
one hand you would probably find rewarding the study and
application of harmonic, vibratory -- including electrical,
gravitational, radiational -- and cyclical conditions to
generational-growth cycles in nature, especially plants. On the
other hand you have potentials for pioneering in the study and
research of planetary and other cycles in relation to
economics.
Your Venus harmoniously aspects Saturn.
The greater gains for you this lifetime, both
financially and spiritually, will be from the middle age on,
with the earlier part of your life seeming to be much more
difficult. That is, jeanne, you are likely to experience and
share with others a great joy in life during your latter years:
in fact, your soul development may well advance you in the
afterlife to the higher spheres of Jupiter and the Sun (or
beyond this system, to the central stars Arcturus or Polaris).
On the more personal level, one of your main worries in
the first half of your life will probably concern your love
life. You are likely to be the one who is hurt rather than the
one doing the hurting: that is, contentions arise more often in
the other camp than in your own. Most of your saddest
experiences this lifetime have come through the breaking up of
friendships, family and marital and relationships. At the same
time, jeanne, many of your happiest, most pleasant and most
peaceful experiences have come through these same relationships.
You have a definite spiritual beauty which develops out
of your successfully overcoming these adverse personal
challenges. In other words, you are one who has found and
overcome many vicissitudes and changes in your present lifetime.
Yet you eventually attract tried and true partnerships. In your
later years, in fact, may well come the great love of your life,
a companionship that will bring a contentment that will be very
satisfying. Your financial affairs are also likely to get better
as you mature further.
To insure such positive outcomes as these, one tendency
should be addressed. This is your inclination to see
difficulties in your relationships with others as being no fault
of your own and that action on the part of the other person is
necessary in order for the relationship to flow smoothly. At
times you may too easily carry this to extremes. Remember that
to be forgiven, jeanne, you must forgive; to have friends you
must be friendly; to be loved you must love. And if you wish to
make for peace, joy, happiness, understanding, you must
understand, must emanate peace and reflect joy.
Whether reworded for your more personal needs, or
rephrased as an affirmation to repeat in meditation, you may
wish to use all or just selected portions of the following
prayer. "Thank You, Lord, for the profoundly meaningful, yet
often difficult experiences in my life. From these I have
emerged the victor, for You have blessed me with the inner
strength and determination to master each and every obstacle I
have encountered. I am grateful, too, for the older people in my
life that have pointed the way when I was young, and sincerely
cared about my welfare. As I get older myself, Lord, may I not
begrudge the passing of time. Let me know that the
companionships I share with others will grow richer, deeper, and
more rewarding as the years go by."
Your Venus is in a harmonious (sextile) aspect with Jupiter.
After the Sun, Venus and Jupiter are the two most
benevolent planetary dimensions to have experienced between
earth lives. As the sextile (hexagonal, snowflake) pattern is
one of the two most beneficial aspects to have between these
positive planets at the time of birth, then you can begin to see
how fortunate is this aspect at the time of your birth.
Optimism, faithfulness and generosity of spirit are among many
virtues which are yours.
This very favorable pattern also makes for a nobility
of purpose, large, expansive experiences and binding friendships
and relationships with many individuals. Your prosperity in
money matters comes from the magnetic pulling power of your
positive, affable, optimistic outlook.
Your interlife experience in the realm of Jupiter
especially brings you an ennobling, forceful strength while your
Venus experience brings love, sympathy and patience. Combined,
this makes you high minded and noble in your dealings with
others.
Appreciating sincerity in every form, jeanne, you
particularly disapprove of pettiness in anyone. Your dislike of
littleness and opportunism in others may be a carryover from a
previous incarnation, say during ancient Greece and Rome, when
you held a high position as a cultural or spiritual leader.
The higher mysteries of love and the influence of love
on others means a great deal to you, as does music, songs,
rhythm and rhyme.
You have a natural inclination toward justice, meting
out to others what you would require of yourself. This innate
tendency is likely to include the ability to distinguish between
what is right, of what is within the spirit of the law, and what
is law- sensuous, or licentious.
Probably derived from a past lifetime as a counselor or
judge, others who may have known you then may come to you
--again -- for advice. The ideals from your experience in
Jupiter, together with the Venusian tendency for sympathetic,
compassionate reactions, make for a sense of justice with mercy.
This is especially so in social situations and your involvement
with groups of people.
Your Jupiter is in an inharmonious pattern with Saturn.
"The merchant is never the student, nor is the student
ever the merchant." You might heed this saying, jeanne, for your
experience in Saturn brings you such changes in your career that
you may muddle it up by going in too many directions at once.
While you have a great deal of soul development potential this
lifetime -- and this go 'round for you is critical, as it is for
most of us -- you could defeat yourself through an inclination
at times to "give up." You thereby evade the responsibilities
which come with having such powers and talents as you possess.
The main self-defeating pattern to watch out for more
specifically involves your Saturnian urges for travel, a change
of scene, always wanting a fresh start and taking on far more
than you can realistically handle. You are also likely to need
constant stimulation, with a tendency toward heroics, (but
without sufficiently flexing your own spiritual muscles).
Instead, your heroism and hero worship should be
replaced with self-direction through following the IDEALS of
spiritual heroes, patriarchs and prophets. An added reason for
increasing the role of personal ideals for self-direction is
your inclination to exploit situations rather than taking
constructive advantage of opportunities.
This is not at all to say that you are irresponsible:
quite the contrary. You are much more likely to be in positions
where you face heavy responsibilities. However, jeanne,
confusions may often come as to the best way to derive the
maximum benefit from them, both for yourself and for others.
With these burdens comes a lifetime with a vast scope of
experience, yet frequently misinterpreted by others (hence the
confusion just mentioned).
While at times taken advantage of because of it, you
nonetheless usually choose to see only the good in others, and
are a natural -- although occasionally confused -- diplomat.
In addition to diplomacy, jeanne, your Jupiterian
experience also gives you considerable vision in the financial,
political, social and religious areas of life. Applying yourself
in these directions, especially though writing, a lot of help
and good will come your way which you can share with a very wide
audience.
Your Sun is in Aries (Tropical zodiac).
From Aries are found inclinations often to be
considered by others as being headstrong. You may also be very
hard to convince alongside judgments you have made which have
been the determining factors in your experience. Yet once you
are convinced of something, jeanne, you become very determined
in that particular direction.
This tendency toward self-determination and being
headstrong is probably rooted in at least one lifetime in
ancient Palestine. Your likely link with the tribal nomads
known as the Hebrews is expressed in your urge either to be a
powerful yet somewhat dogmatic leader or to be inclined to
follow someone with strong leadership qualities.
Also, living in large or extended family units
dominated by a strong director or leader (whether male or
female), having special admiration for winners, or even being
totally submissive to another person who you feel is somehow in
charge of you and your life are characteristic inclinations from
similar experiences long ago.
Of course, Mars is the primary planet which symbolizes
or rules the sign of Aries. This makes Mars and martial urges
of special significance to you this lifetime. Therefore,
jeanne, depending on whether or not you apply your will,
responding to conflict situations with directness and force are
likely to be among your subconscious urges. These urges are
from your prior experiences in the realm of Mars and from one or
more past lives in the harsh, ancient desert culture of Israel
and neighboring Arab lands.
Also from Mars, the Ram influence and this past
lifetime in ancient Canaan and Palestine you may feel a need not
only to be a leader or director but to excel in your career or
in more physical endeavors like exercising or a competitive
activities such as sports.
Your Moon is in Taurus (Tropical zodiac).
Taurus' influence inclines you to be somewhat
headstrong, with a very set and determined manner. Hence you
are not always understood in everything you try to do, or in
things which you know yourself to be true. Yet longlasting are
the influences you make on others with whom you have deep
associations from previous lives.
Remember, jeanne, success or accomplishment in life is
not a matter of some great force or influence. Just as taught
by the Master, it is not the power of the storm or of the
earthquake or of great noises and the like. Rather it is the
still small voice speaking from within you which becomes the
influence through which movements of truly great forces really
arise.
Since your childhood, being outdoors and living close
to nature is probably more significant to you than to most
others. This love of nature and the great outdoors is from one
or more past lives spent on a farm or in nature settings. For
ages countries on the Mediterranean such as ancient Egypt,
Greece and virtually all of the ancient Mideast lived in close
contact with nature. So did the Native Americans of
pre-Columbian America. And surely you were one of them.
Farming, fishing and hunting then, are among your
familiar pursuits (even if they only involve occasional outdoor
activities like gardening, boating or indoors, tending flowers
and plants). You also probably have greater confidence in
wholistic, natural healing approaches than in modern medicine's
"advanced" yet artificial technology.
Now, jeanne, Venus is the planet which rules or best
symbolizes the essence of the sign Taurus. Of course, Venus
symbolizes the female sex. Centuries ago in oriental cultures
women were more feminine -- and experienced much more respect --
than today. A lifetime in Asia and lands like China, then, are
also a likely part of your past life experiences.
Your Past Life Decanates
According to an ancient Vedic astrology method
still practiced in India, Past Life Planets are realms
in which you sojourned between earth lifetimes. They
are identified through the position of your sidereal
Sun and Moon in the decanates (a decanate is a one-
third division of a zodiac sign; each is ruled by a
planet). Any patterns involving these Past Life
Planets are therefore of special importance. Pay extra
attention, then, to any sections of your Report which
interpret these planets.
NOTE: If your Sun and Moon are both located in a
decanate which is ruled by the same planet, then
only the Sun position is interpreted; the Moon's
decanate position, being the same as the Sun's,
therefore does not need to be interpreted.
Your Sun is in Scorpio Decanate
Your sidereal Sun is in SCORPIO decanate, which is ruled by
Mars. Mars as Past Life Planet points to an active, outdoor,
courageous, passionate yet at times warlike nature.
Your exceptional will to survive and endure is built up
from military-related lifetimes in the ancient Greco-Roman world
or more recently (within the past century) in pioneering
experiences in Great Britain/Europe, colonial Asia, Africa
and/or the Americas.
Your Moon is in Taurus Decanate
Your sidereal Moon is in TAURUS decanate, which is ruled by
Venus. Venus as Past Life Planet points to high priorities in
creativity, sociability and relationships, especially in your
family/home life and in the world of nature. Urges toward these
experiences and interests from your sojourn in the Venus
dimension are likely to originate in parallel lifetimes of soul
development through these areas of self-expression.
Especially indicated are lives in the early
Jewish-Christian Church and later as an artist-musician in
modern times, whether in the West (Europe and/or America), or in
modern or colonial Asia.
