Astrology can teach you a lot, like figuring out your life’s purpose. With past life astrology, you can uncover your current goals and the direction you should take by looking at specific parts of your birth chart.
I know it might seem a bit complex, but let me simplify it for you. You know there are 12 zodiac signs, right? Well, these signs are split into 12 sections called “houses.” Each house represents a different aspect of life, like friendships, finances, well-being, and love.
The 1st house indicates your Ascendant – basically, who you are in this life. Move down one house, and you’re in the 12th house, which used to be the 1st house in a past life.
This doesn’t mean your most recent past, but rather a past that includes all the challenges you’re working on resolving now.
To get the hang of it, start by discovering your Ascendant (or Rising) sign. Use a birth chart calculator that takes your birth day, time, and place into account to create your unique natal chart.
Got it? Good. Now, you can gain insight into your karma and learn about your past life by knowing these details. This knowledge will help you figure out what you’re meant to learn in this lifetime.
Let’s explore the previous lives of each zodiac sign and see how you can use that knowledge for positive changes.
Aries Ascendant
In your past life, Pisces played a big role. This means you faced many limits, boundaries, and responsibilities.
Now, Aries, it’s time for a fresh beginning. Focus on living your current life freely, seizing every opportunity. You might have come from a life where escaping reality, perhaps through drugs or alcohol, was a struggle. Now, take charge of your emotions rather than letting them overpower you.
Taurus Ascendant
If you have a Taurus ascendant, your past life was influenced by Aries. You’re bringing the fiery energy from your past into a creative drive.
Your desire is to experience life in a big way, focusing more on personal comfort in this lifetime than setting the world ablaze with wisdom and intensity.
Gemini Ascendant
You carried your creative nature from a Taurus-dominated past into a present life centered on communication and mindfulness. However, Gemini, it’s time to break free from your unyielding past and embrace an open-minded approach to the world.
There’s a chance you’re coming from a life of self-indulgence and reluctance to emotionally connect with others. Now, you have the opportunity to connect with whomever you choose. Enjoy learning and exploring new ideas and perspectives.
Cancer Ascendant
Feeling a bit uneasy and seeing things in a different light often comes from living a life where Gemini takes the lead. Right now, you might be concentrating on handling responsibilities and family matters, finding more depth in your experiences.
But, Cancer, the urge for freedom is always there. On the flip side, you need to understand how to form emotional connections. Despite the ongoing sense of having tasks at hand, you’re willing to recognize your feelings and inner life.
Leo Ascendant
For a Leo, there’s nothing better than feeling loved and complete. A previous life dominated by Cancer can make it a bit tough for you to feel that satisfaction or genuine love without constant reassurance that you’re not alone.
There might be past issues with feeling abandoned. If you’ve dealt with your past challenges, there’s more room for self-awareness. Just be cautious not to become overly self-centered, or there could be repercussions in the next chapter.
Virgo Ascendant
While your current focus is on caring for others, your past life dominated by Leo had you in the spotlight. Inside, you might be grappling with loneliness, questioning why you invest so much in others with little in return.
Usually, there’s karma related to giving back to those who made sacrifices for you in a previous life. Perhaps you overlooked those who cared for you during your Leo-dominated days. Virgo, now is the time to attend to those responsibilities.
Libra Ascendant
In a previous life, you felt unappreciated, leading to a struggle in balancing karma by either going to great lengths to please others or facing unfair situations. The karmic influence may also involve avoiding extremes from a past life. If you took drastic measures during a Virgo-dominated life, finding balance now may be challenging. Decision-making about giving and receiving could cause emotional conflicts, prompting you, Libra, to aim for greater organization in your present life.
Scorpio Ascendant
Coming from a life of striving for balance, you now desire to experience life fully and intricately. Perhaps you faced pressure to conform in a past life, where deviating from accepted norms was frowned upon. In this life, you are determined to live for yourself and assist others in similar circumstances, Scorpio. The past emphasis on balance may lead to a sense of entitlement to a bit of positive selfishness, but it’s essential not to go overboard and accumulate challenging karma.
Sagittarius Ascendant
The past life dominated by Scorpio has set you on a path of expansiveness and generosity that was previously unattainable. Lessons from that life can now be transformed into a philosophy of spreading knowledge and wisdom, rather than keeping it bottled inside. Sagittarius, having struggled to break free from limitations in a past life, you now seek to experience everything fully—seeing, hearing, tasting, feeling, and touching.
Capricorn Ascendant
With a specific goal in mind, Capricorn, you aim to set boundaries and move away from the carefree life of Sagittarius. It’s time to free yourself from the karma accumulated during the Sagittarius-dominated phase. Perhaps you ignored responsibilities to live the life you wanted, or you carried karma from others who felt neglected. Reflect on these considerations for resolution and balance.
Aquarius Ascendant
Tired of the restrictions from your past Capricorn-dominated life, you’re ready to show your true colors and experience life from a new perspective, Aquarius. Your individuality is evident, and you’re moving away from a life that strictly adhered to traditional rules and boundaries. Embrace the freedom to face the world authentically.
Pisces Ascendant
Having reached the end of the karmic cycle, Pisces, it’s time to settle things, tie up loose ends, and be responsible. Recognize the approaching new beginning and prepare accordingly. While expressing differences may not be a top priority, connecting with others on a deeper level and embracing spirituality are now important to you. However, take on this challenge only if you feel ready for it.
