HOW TO USE THIS READING
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 reading, Peter, 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 reading 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 reading to your personal life, Peter, 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, Peter, 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, Peter, 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, Peter, 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, Peter, 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, Peter, 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, Peter, 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 Sun harmoniously aspects Mars.
You are easygoing in your temperament, Peter, but once aroused to anger you can rise as high as your quietness had formerly held you back. You also have considerable vitality which is well to be directed toward nature, especially through energetic, outdoor activities.
Farming and gardening are likely to be especially rewarding, as well as research along agricultural and horticultural lines. Providing food and shelter for individuals that have to do with their health, activity and energy are natural drives, particularly in things pertaining to daily life home conveniences.
It is likely that you lived in America during its early frontier days, when many of these talents were developed out of necessity. Also related to this prior lifetime is your powerful physical determination, especially in competition: you simply do not allow yourself to be defeated by others.
Colloquially expressed, you have "get up and go", or better, "true grit". You have a very distinct vim or vigor in your self-determination to follow the right course of action.
However, this may at times be expressed too aggressively, Peter, which may separate you at least intellectually, mentally or communicationswise from many of your associates and relations. This is a feature of your personality this lifetime that can either be constructive or destructive. Hence be sure to avoid going too far with your very active, determined drive toward self-expression.
Your Moon is in an inharmonious aspect with Mars.
You are strongly inclined to seek an independent career, to strike your own course in life. Your father is likely to be Martian in character or occupation, and to have an unfortunate history, which makes your family background less than ideal. Also, Peter, your health may not be as robust as it should be. Outdoor exercise, attention to nutrition, especially your iron and fiber intake, and stress management would do much to strengthen your physical constitution.
Having experienced the wrathful Mars dimension between earth lives, antagonism is likely between your passionate, animal side and your emotional-feeling life. Your emotions at times may get out of control, causing a number of challenges. For instance, you may manifest at times an obstinate, intolerant, "me first" attitude. If you are unwilling to be dominated, you are likely to attract from past lives karma to meet through an aggressive mate.
In your previous life, Peter, you may have been an early American settler. During that incarnation, you may well have had some frightening and painful experiences which are brought back to you in this life in the form of the emotional challenges just described. Moreover, you may often be presented with opportunities to deal constructively with separations and quarrels involving souls linked to you from previous incarnations where conflicts were frequent but unresolved.
These challenges will be intensified if your manner is too Martian and dominating. If these argumentative, wrathful energies you experienced during your previous incarnation and afterlife soul journey in the Mars dimension are not moderated by application of your will, you will probably face many challenges with your friendships, family and personal relationships. Your great need here is to set before your inner self such ideals as self-restraint, patience and love.
Do bear in mind that these influences are the RESULT of what you have done ABOUT your past. They are NEVER beyond the reach of your free will choice. For instance, Peter, you can choose to avoid acting in your own self-interest. Instead, put your attention toward the purpose of bringing good into the lives of others. Otherwise, you will bring suffering to yourself through an inner war between self-centered fears and passions on one hand and your spiritual development on the other.
That is, trials and temptations resulting from indulging your desires may often conflict with and block progress toward developing your innate spirituality.
As an aid in working with these challenges, Peter, here is an affirmation which you might repeat in meditation (though perhaps phrased in your own words): "I will be shown how to come to grips with my strong feelings and emotional strain. I will learn to be more tactful so that I do not initiate a confrontation or take offense too easily when faced with a trying situation. I will instead develop a constructive, selfless attitude toward others, so that I can be of greater service to God."
Your Moon harmoniously aspects Neptune.
You have such a highly developed imagination over many lifetimes to where you could easily be successful as an author/creator of mystical symbolism or as a writer of inspirational literature and song. In addition to your special emotional sensitivity, you also have a sharp psychic feeling-awareness. Yet, being highly emotional, you may often allow your emotions or sentiments to run away with your better judgment, unless it is thoroughly grounded in ideals (and not ideas but ideals).
However, Peter, you will find that activities in any phase of endeavor require not only judgment but sacrifice; not sacrifice of principle, but a sacrifice of service so that there may be a more perfect understanding of your soul purpose this lifetime.
With your Moon in a resourceful, flowing pattern with watery Neptune, you will often have beneficial experiences involving spirituality, mysticism and creative inspiration. "Good karma" is then your lot this lifetime, opening up to you contacts with souls from past lives through whom you accomplished a great deal inwardly, say through spiritual channeling and healing as well as more outwardly in a lifetime as a mystical artist or temple musician.
Expect a lot of your resourcefulness in these areas to come through travel -- either by you are by others in your life -- near or over large bodies of water. Proximity to water, particularly the ocean and large lakes or rivers, is likely to enhance your spiritual attunement and personal centering.
Relative wealth and ease may also be part of your experience -- rather than poverty and hardship --but this moderate level of affluence and comfort in your lifestyle may well be from karmic earnings in past lives rather than through actual earnings in this life. That is, Peter, you may more than once find material benefits coming into your life through inheritances or through the labor and mental efforts of others (who may wish to sponsor or support you, for example).
The main drawback to this trait is an above average vulnerability to your emotional environment. Your health, even if only expressed in a tendency to put on weight or to have minor digestive problems, is then likely to require extra attention because of your susceptibility to conflict and pressure in your home or work environment.
One way you may control your sensitivity and make good use of your creativity at the same time is through bringing into the experiences of others, Peter, especially in so-called "little" ways, that which is distinctly creative and constructive. You may also encourage those who have lost hope in spiritual ways of living. You would do this well in giving advice and counsel from the mental level (through the means suggested above, for instance)) which brings hope, help and love into the experiences of others. In addition to the good it will do others, you will through such efforts be creating for yourself positive karmic advantages for your next life.
Your Mercury harmoniously aspects Saturn.
Considerable mental resources are indicated from your repeated past life endeavors involving communication and education. As to your abilities, then, as seen from the pattern of your past lives, you could be an instructor through the means or channels of a speaker or writer, or one who in some way supports and encourages those who are seeking to know their closer walk with the Creative Forces, or God.
Over several lifetimes you have reached a mature level intellectually. That is, Peter, you are in a position to make creative, renewing additions to old principles constructively and in definite, positive directions. You have the ability to give a good deal of impetus to building on what has been the failure of another, whether physically, financially or mentally. Intellectually very competent and efficient, you also have great self-control and reserve.
However, you are likely to be most reserved in the area of making contacts with groups. You may continually plan out things in your mind, using a great deal of mental energy and ability, as to what would be best, but slow in carrying these plans to fruition until contacts or associations have been made through some definite channel from some outside source.
In other words, Peter, although you have above average capacity to organize and plan things out, mentally you may at times be a bit too cautious in following through on your decisions until some specific confirmation or proof offers itself. This comes from your ability to reason from any viewpoint, yet for something to be valuable to you, it must be rational and reasonable as well as practical.
You are therefore one with high mental ability who uses discretion in many ways; these are influences from the free application of your will together with your previous lives and of your afterlife soul journey in the Mercurian realm of awareness. You also have the capacity for what others would describe as "sharp trading." While you are subtle in different ways, you are also one who speaks what is on your mind at once.
In real estate sales and investments you will probably find much self-satisfaction, Peter, as well as financial rewards. However, it does not matter much in what you sell or invest, along as the commodity or investment is one in which you have faith.
Your Venus is conjoined with Saturn.
Saturn brings many changes, some of them traumatic ones at times. At other times, Saturn brings steps toward greater responsibility and maturity. As to which of these alternative courses prevails, it depends on how you may have failed to apply your will in the past as well as how constructively you apply your free will in the present. For instance, Peter, friendships may often be stronger ties for you than business or family relationships, yet you probably have lost them when you didn't want to and couldn't get rid of some when you wanted to!
While you are reserved for the most part in your outward expression of feelings, you are still very emotional in nature, with a tendency to seek satisfaction of your Venusian love urges in a calculating, self-gratifying sort of way. You are also very determined, Peter, with the ability physically and mentally to carry forward to completion almost any undertaking. You will consistently find -- as you have experienced more than once --that to have a habit of being more optimistic than the occasion seems to warrant will help you a great deal in making life more worth living, more enjoyable and worthwhile.
Your influence among other people has counted for them far more than you have ever given yourself credit for. Your love of the home and family life may have been misinterpreted and misunderstood by some of these same individuals. You may pray at times that you no longer feel so restricted by your obligations in these relationships, Peter, or at least that you can more cheerfully accept these responsibilities as spiritual blessings to strengthen your patience. Such experiences and duties have probably left you feeling as though you are not appreciated or loved. You also may be attracting people to you from past lives who cause you to suffer due to their selfishness. This in turn is likely to have inhibited your emotionally, making you very cautious about expressing your affections.
You may quite successfully redirect your creative energies in the direction of your career, becoming highly skilled in sales, management, executive secretarial positions, or in commercial art and advertising. The business world would be a good outlet for your parsimonious, responsible efficiency in money matters (traditionally Saturn contracts finances as well as love, money and affection, all of which are ruled by Venus).
Another type of work which would well channel your caring and organizing abilities is that of supervising healing/nurturing related endeavors such as practical nursing, home health care, natural preventive medicine and involvement with exercise centers or spas.
Your Venus is opposite Jupiter.
Your experiences between earth lives in the Venus and Jupiter dimensions of awareness generally make for benevolent, positive influences in your life. Nonetheless there are some inclinations toward wastefulness and vanity which need curbing. Unless this is done and there is a gradual comprehension of your true spiritual purposes, these influences toward excesses may become drawbacks in your overall soul development.
Part of your extravagance, Peter, especially concerning money matters, comes from a moody, "I don't care" attitude at times which borders on self-destructiveness. This tendency may not be an obvious threat to your well being until your later years, when you may well wish you had spent your resources more wisely. One way to deal with this challenge is mentally to begin replacing such urges with more practical choices in favor of self-preservation through creating attitudes of helpfulness and hopefulness instead.
Careerwise, or as an avocation outside homebuilding, social service would be a good outlet for you, even if only on a volunteer, part time basis. Do follow in such pursuits and positive dealings with others, holding before your inner Self the principle that what you sow is what you reap.
Also, Peter, try not to let a single day go by without interesting yourself in others and doing something specifically for someone else that has been a helpful influence in their life.
The following prayer/affirmation may be valuable as a resource in your spiritual life to work with these challenges: "Although I have climbed the social ladder, I found that what I desired was beyond any enticement that society had to offer. Lord, it is Your love for which my inner self yearns, keeping me unsatisfied with material rewards. Show me how to put extravagances behind me and prevent me from squandering the resources with which I have been blessed. Teach me to lead a simpler life devoid of excess luxury and superficial attachments. In doing these things, Lord, I pray that I may prepare a place for You in my heart."
Your Saturn is in an inharmonious aspect with Uranus.
You have a strong self will which is a likely carryover from a lifetime long ago in Atlantis. You may well have been one of the Children of the Law of One who opposed the materialistic Sons of Belial, or vice versa. From these Atlantean urges you are likely to defy changing, perhaps even recklessly so at times.
An inner conflict is also likely from your interplanetary, between-life soul journeys in Uranus and Saturn. Making your soul flight from these heavenly realms, Peter, you chose a time of birth when these two planets were in a challenging pattern. Your earth re-entry at such a time to begin a new life presents you with a growth opportunity in learning how to resolve a basic conflict between what you learned in the Uranus dimension about freedom and in Saturn about change.
Lessons will therefore be likely through difficulties with those in authority -- by desiring greater freedom, trying new, unconventional ideas, and generally going to extremes (Uranus) -- and on the other hand resisting change (Saturn) by wishing to conform because the status quo is safer and more secure. Learn to be more consistent and more humble at the same time.
Caution should also be exercised in partnerships, Peter, both business and marital, for there will be a tendency toward impulsiveness. Be sure to get all the objective advice available as a check against acting on impulse. Seeking the counsel of others will also help you to develop more humility and less attachment to being right in your convictions.
Seeking the divine Light within will aid you in learning to be more consistent in applying the ideals you have set for yourself. Set your ideals in the Christ, the Ultimate Uranian, the Master Revolutionary who taught us to reform patiently through love rather than separatism and rebellion. Only in loving patience will you possess, truly know, your soul, its uniqueness and yet its oneness with the Creator. This is true freedom.
Your Sun is in Scorpio (Tropical zodiac).
At times you may be considered by others as somewhat different, although on your own part, when those of comparable mental ability are part of your experience, you are known as a soul with nobleness of purpose and high-mindedness of principles. You are, Peter, in other words, one who is ABOVE the ordinary and may go far in leading, directing and assisting many souls to reach a better understanding of elemental, universal principles.
Long ago you may have been part of the once mighty Mongolian people of the ancient Gobi desert, or among the culturally advanced Chinese. From such lifetimes as these, you have the ability to perform what is expected of you and to do what is necessary without being held back by your feelings or by considerations of a personal nature. This is a strength you inherited from one or more past lives in these remote Asian cultures, whose people shared this self-denying trait.
Perhaps you were once a young Chinese woman who gave birth to many children, ran a large household and pleased the master of the house. You may have done all this while quietly enduring the agony of brutally bound feet which was once a rather cultural requirement of the true ladies of ancient China.
Bear in mind that Mars is the planet of energy, power and war which rules or best symbolizes the essence of Scorpio. It may not be surprising then, that you may have been a Mongolian warrior who fought to the death for your tribal leader without hesitation or concern for your own injury or pain.
Above all, Peter, in these Asian past life settings, you had dignity, as you learned to cope with harsh conditions and challenges without wasting your energy on your personal needs.
A more recent incarnation among Native Americans like the plains Indians is also likely. Yet whether your life was among Orientals or American Indians, your characteristic past life suppression of individual feelings in sacrifice for the larger interests of your family, group or tribe may in the present make you appear cold, insensitive or uncaring, when you are actually very caring and compassionate.
Your Moon is in Gemini (Tropical zodiac).
Coming as you do under the double sign of Gemini, there are likely to be two natures within you as far as your inner, subconscious urges are concerned. One of these urges is to seek to know (and this thirst for knowledge may sometimes involve questionable things or conditions, at least as far as others are concerned). The other part of this dual urge from Gemini's influence is your innate as well as outwardly manifested spiritual seeking for a greater, better and more perfect relationship with another. At times these two urges may be more in conflict than most people ordinarily experience.
Also, Peter, as in other Gemini children this tendency toward double-mindedness at times may find expression in inclinations to change your mind and overspeculate about things. With application of your will, these inclinations can be curbed.
Now, you were probably part of European culture during the Middle Ages, when there was considerable action and adventure, for example in the continual feuding and strife among the many fiefdoms, families, tribes, castles and kingdoms comprising Europe before its present consolidation into several nation-states.
You may even have been among the gentry or upper class of France or England, attending or participating in jousting tournaments, making long journeys to the Crusades against the Muslims in Palestine, or involved with trade exchanges with the caravans going to and from India and China.
In other words, Peter, because Mercury is the planet which rules or symbolizes the essence of Gemini, overall you may have experienced in one or more of these lifetimes a sense of restlessness enduring into your present life.
Finally, centuries or even millennia earlier, you may have led a life in what has become known as Australia or on one of its neighboring South Pacific islands.
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 reading 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 Gemini Decanate
Your sidereal Sun is in GEMINI decanate, which is ruled by Mercury. Mercury as Past Life Planet gives you a high intellectual capacity, marked data handling or communications skills, a distinct thirst for knowledge and a natural aptitude for writing, teaching and research. A prominent Mercurian lifetime as an Egyptian or Hebrew scribe and/or teacher in colonial Asia, Africa or the early Americas is also likely.
Your Moon is in Capricorn Decanate
Your sidereal Moon is in the decanate of Capricorn, which is ruled by Saturn. Saturn is the all-important realm to which the soul casts itself for purging and cleansing. Your likely sojourn between earth lives in Saturn's realm points to a major experience of soul reprogramming and self-purification. This brings into your present the essential of a "fresh start" lifetime.
Therefore, Peter, armed with self-discipline and excellent organizational and management skills, you will have special opportunities for spiritual progress through the mature way in which you face heavy changes and responsibilities. Also, an early death in one or more prior lives, especially in childhood (or perhaps even through suicide), is indicated.
