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 inter life).

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, 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, 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.

Your birth chart interpretation is based on the positions of the planets at the time of your birth.

Astrologer Ry Redd calculated on computer the astrology charts for hundreds of people who received readings by Edgar Cayce which contained astrologically based information. By studying these astrology charts, Ry Redd determined what planetary influences were most likely responsible for the readings by Edgar Cayce. In many cases the astrological basis of the Cayce readings appears to be very straightforward. From this information Ry Redd was able to develop, in conjunction with the computer programmers at Cosmic Patterns Software, an analysis of your birth chart as Ry Redd believes that Edgar Cayce's psychic readings would have interpreted it. Ry Redd's research effort was exhaustive and was conducted over many years, some of which was spent at the Edgar Cayce library at the Association for Research and Enlightenment headquarters in Virginia Beach, Virginia.

Your Past Life Report begins on the following page . . .

Your Sun harmoniously aspects Neptune.

Your mystical, intuitive and spiritual sensitivity arises from your past lives, perhaps in early Roman times, or in the Egyptian/late Atlantean period. Then you may have been a seer with expertise in the religious mysteries of the day and in healing through the laying of hands. Your likely interest in group meditation, symbology, holistic health, and astrological timing arises from such past life experiences.

From your afterlife experience in the Neptune dimension, your imaginative urges create strong mystical impressions within you. At times, when you meditate or simply rest, the actions expressed in your visions and daydreams may elicit such intense emotions that you may feel as if you had actually experienced them.

Since Neptune is a higher octave of Venus, ruler of the arts, your Neptunian attunement and sensitivity give you abilities related to the arts in virtually any direction, whether as an actor, a dancer, an artist, musician or art critic.

Although you would do well in any creative endeavor, you are also gifted with healing power, especially in applying, for example, music and color to emotional disturbances. Hence, combining analytical or depth psychology with your creative and mystical sensitivities may suggest fields that will bring you deep understanding, if judged from the spiritual side.

You may also achieve a great deal through service for others, caring for others, helping those less fortunate. To be a channel of blessings to others is the purpose of every soul coming into the material world. For you particularly, serving others may have special rewards. If it is in keeping with your ideals, you would gain much in service involving an organized charitable institution or missionary branch of a church denomination. Public leadership involving large organizations through speaking to groups and writing is also indicated.

In addition, things that come over water or upon water are likely to be significant in your experience. Travel and law, especially in connection with these, should also be a portion of your activities. [997-1, 2835-1, 2483-2, 2855-1, 1442-1, 2326-1, 315-4]

Your Sun is in an inharmonious pattern with Jupiter.

Your after life experience in the realm of Jupiter brings you a helpfulness in getting along with those in powerful, prominent positions, especially in helping them to develop brotherly love in their actions. You have great abilities in your associations with such individuals in these ennobling directions. As long as you avoid tendencies toward false pride and taking any selfish advantage of your influential role, you should continue to bring harmony into the lives of others whom you contact.

You also have the capacity from Jupiter's experience of keeping balance and remaining tolerant while going through various turmoil's about you. These challenges are most likely to have taken the form of antagonisms on a larger scale dealing with groups, organizations and institutions as well as individuals around you. These experiences have probably not been without anxiety for you nor has your judgment always been without exaggeration. However, your patience and capacity to forgive are the basis for your endurance of such animosity and unpredictable behavior on the part of others.

Your mental trends and self-expression will be in very definite, ambitious directions this lifetime. One result of your drive to make yourself felt is that you will be heard of from both far and near as a powerful soul with considerable broadness of vision. This drive can be a constructive expansion beneficial to others -- while contributing to your soul development -- or, it can be merely an expansion of your desire to gratify your own motives (the latter will most often take the form of extravagance and questionable judgment in finances).

As to which of these will prevail, the answer lies in what you do in applying your free will and your abilities to know what you have set as your ideal. Resources for ideals include reading English literature and history, along with inspiration from music. As remedial measures for this somewhat challenging pattern, the wearing of planetary gemstones about the body can be a helpful vibratory influence. Specifically recommended is either the turquoise blue or pigeon-blood ruby. [1143-2]

Your Sun is conjoined with Mercury.

From former lives when you were involved in oral and written communication as a teacher and scribe, you are a very high- minded individual with a strong desire for information and knowledge. You have considerable creative ability, especially to write -- or even act in -- a good dramatic mystery or a suspenseful screenplay. You have a marked capacity to describe characters and situations in an unusual way. DO write. In addition, you have special capacities to teach others through your abilities as a writer.

For instance, you have marked abilities involving attention to detail, literature, educational factors and especially historical subjects. You could therefore write a good historical novel or help produce a documentary/docudrama which would be a source of inspiration to many.

In fact, you may have a great deal of interest in communications, the media and literature, especially that of an unusual or intuitive nature. Were you to apply yourself, you would make an excellent historian or journalist. With spiritual direction if you chose to do so, you would also make an excellent speaker, particularly on spiritual subjects.

You are also gifted in languages and especially in relationship to teaching not only English but also a foreign language. You would be rewarded through any teaching or ministry involving history, color and natural music, such as the songs of birds, the sounds of whales and the sea.

Mentally, you tend to seek objective results, even in more personal value-laden areas like religion and spiritual philosophy. Your mind is practical, worldly, self-confident and independent, with a marked tendency to categorize and analyze.

Your previous Mercurian lifetime prepared you well for the exercise of authority, yet inclines you to be somewhat dictatorial at times in how you communicate with others. That is, you have high mental abilities but with a tendency occasionally to be rather hardheaded and to want to have your own way. Apply your will toward the ideals of humility and flexibility. Also, try not to take yourself so seriously.

In sum, you are very high-minded, mentally well balanced, with an intellect which is healthy, optimistic and vigorous. You are capable of making for yourself a career in such fields as finance, politics or religion, especially teaching and the ministry. [137-4, 560-1, 759-1, 308-3, 1230-1, 1671-2, 3020-1, 1742-2, 369-3]

Your Moon harmoniously aspects 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, 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, 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. [633-2, 759-1]

Your Moon is in an inharmonious pattern 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, 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, 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, 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, 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." [4286-3, 137-4,12]

Your Mercury harmoniously aspects 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, 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. [2658-1, 2498-1, 2598-2]

Your Mercury forms a square pattern with Jupiter.

Your experience in Jupiter gives you a bigness or broadness of experience and an easy going manner. Through will's application, once generosity toward yourself is developed, then extended to others, you will be able to be helpful, mindful, considerate, understanding, and an aid to many. These humanitarian potentials are available to be tapped once you know within yourself that there is and can be an ideal that is also a reasonable thing. One tendency to be careful of in this direction is an inability to be realistic about ideals, for instance you might watch agreeing to take on projects which you may not be in a position to follow through on later.

You have innate high and noble purposes, yet are at times misunderstood. However, with application of will you may manifest love in many ways, for instance, through aiding others to find social and legal justice and in writing. You could also become a successful financial counselor or find success in sales management. Another way to direct your high mental abilities toward moral applications of your experience is through writing devotional stories, poetry and even music that glorifies the inner life of worship and spiritual ideals.

Of course, occasionally it is fine, even invigorating, to argue about God and metaphysical or spiritual subjects, yet the home is not the place for it. The home, though, is the best place to try out spirituality: whatever you may not be able to apply yourself surely should not be preached to others. In fact, you would probably make a very good minister. You may rise very high in your abilities in whatever activity you finally choose.

This inharmonious pattern makes for a tendency toward a stubbornness of judgment and impulsive decision making. Yet you have the mental abilities to reason from any viewpoint. Any condition you face must have a reasonableness to you for it to be of worth or of use to you or --for that matter -- to anyone else. This may often be your rationale for putting things off. In other words, things out of reason are for you things out of season. While not mercenary you are not wholly an idealist either. Instead, you are rather well balanced between the two.

In using your mental abilities there are inclinations toward theological argumentation rather than sharing ideals of spirituality. This is not to say that you are not spiritual-minded, but your spiritual attitudes as outwardly expressed are somewhat intellectual and often primarily for show. You may feel that there has to be a point made in discussions about religion and thus the theological or intellectual-Mercurian influence itself is primary at such times, rather than the spirituality that you might practice.

In your meditation periods, you might use an affirmation or prayer worded something like, "While I am attracted to many different bits of miscellaneous information because they appear to be interesting, I will begin to see more and more that not everything which I want to occupy my mind with has practical value. I will develop the ability to concentrate only upon relevant, useful facts and will be protected from spending a lot of time and energy with non-essentials by barking up the wrong tree or totally overlooking the obvious. I will find myself moving on to more important matters quickly, so that I will accomplish something truly worthy of my attention." [3155-1, 1001-7, 3674-1, 960-4, 114-1, 1738-1]

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, 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, 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, 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. [904-1, 2329-1, 1522-1]

Your Venus is in an inharmonious pattern with Neptune.

At the time of your re-entry into the earth plane your soul flight paths from Venus and Neptune were squared off or opposed in the zodiac. Your choice to be born when these two planet- flight paths were at odds with each other resulted in a call-up from your soul's past life records which reveal a love liability in your cosmic account.

This same challenging choice of re-entry from Venus, realm of love and beauty, and Neptune, realm of spirituality and mysticism, is made by many sincere seekers who are earnest students on the spiritual path. It points out this lifetime as an especially important one, for you are directly faced, among other things, with the necessity to spiritualize the disappointments you have experienced through your great need for love.

That is, your deep desire for affection -- and resulting heartaches from feeling the lack of it -- all must be given up and instead has to be universalized into BEING, manifesting Love and Compassion.

This is not to say that you should be impractical in being too empathetic and allow yourself to be deceived (or to deceive or delude yourself), for instance, by giving too much to the wrong --especially spiritual or moral -- cause or marrying the wrong person whom you have emotionally over-idealized. Let your prayer or song be, "Lord, let me learn to BE the love I've been dreaming of, learn to BE the love I need."

The other area of your unclear vision and lack of good judgment at times might manifest in a kind of "mystical moodiness" as far as inner guidance is concerned (this applies particularly to dreams and meditation experiences). That is, you may be moved by an impulse thought to be from without -- from higher, spiritual sources -- when it is really within your own head. Or, conversely, you may often be prompted to act or fail to act on what you think is only a feeling from within when it is really from without.

There are indicators that an excellent outlet for you would be in counseling others who are emotionally or spiritually needy, either directly (one-on-one or by leading small groups) or through writing, or both. The main requirement is for you to CHOOSE. First, through analyzing yourself in such a way as to know what is your ideal relationship to God. Second, what is your ideal attitude and corresponding life work activity that can fulfill that purpose, that ideal.

Finally, what is the ideal yet practical manner of expressing these purposes in relationship to those you deal with on a day-to-day basis. Then, whether it be in fact or fiction, in a private journal or widely read book or column, WRITE about what you have come up with! There are many, many souls who would benefit, as long as you really have something constructive and helpful to say as part of a specific purpose and lesson to be learned. [1962-1]

Your Saturn is in an inharmonious pattern with Neptune.

You chose a time of the year to be born when Saturn, the planet of heavy changes and Neptune, the planet of spirituality, were in a challenging aspect pattern. This presents you with opportunities to change and grow spiritually through facing distinct CHOICES to make in applying your will. The influences of these two planetary experiences are very different. As a result you may frequently manifest contradictory characteristics. For instance, you may have to choose between being an other-worldly mystical recluse who lacks ambition and avoids serious responsibilities or being a very responsible, hard worker who takes on many sacrifices for a higher ideal of service.

Even the latter, service-centered route can present extra difficulties if escapism or delusion is involved in any way (like psychic or mediumistic-type "channeling", drugs and alcohol). Together with your at times rather strong self will, obsessive influences through such activities could manifest by your entertaining impractical if not fantastic schemes and self-deluded mystical ambitions.

In fact, your experience in the Saturn and Neptune interlife dimensions should be measured alongside what you may experience in the practical things of life. This should take precedence, or at least be in balance with, influences which are more of the visionary nature, like accrediting influences to numbers or even to astrological factors. Most important here is the controlling influence of your free will. Indeed, your will is supreme over all such influences.

Another way this central choice of your life path may manifest is through a conflict between following a conservative, materialistic ego-emotional structure and spiritually letting go and truly trusting the "still small voice" within. In your effort to balance these opposing urges, from Saturn's influence especially you may frequently find yourself starting new projects and following new lines of thought. As you mature around middle age, these urges for change will probably become more frequent unless you are firmly rooted in a stable spiritual ideal.

Your experiences in the Saturn dimension and the realm of Neptune between lives may have deeply rooted into your unconscious mind strong fears and feelings of loneliness, isolation and rejection. While you may often be only dimly conscious of these insecure feelings, they still may have a very draining and disintegrating effect on your personality. These are probably emotional urges from previous incarnations in which you were unable to relate to people in the outer, "real" world, perhaps in a monastic life devoted to the spiritual path. These urges are now opportunities for you to correct this past imbalance by willfully reaching out and projecting love, understanding and empathy toward others.

Associations from these same past lives will probably be coming out of the woodwork from time to time to present opportunities for you to deal successfully with deception, suspicion and related challenges. These karmic links are likely to involve you in a behind-the-scenes controversy, treachery or scandal which may block the realization of your ambitions and place impossible demands on you. Let your prayer or affirmation be for reliable guidance and power of will, so that you can know your soul's purpose. You can then apply your will successfully to make a genuine, inspired contribution this lifetime. [439-1, 4714-1]

NOTE: The Zodiac signs of the Sun and Moon are analyzed below. First they will be analyzed in the Tropical zodiac. If the positions are different in the Sidereal zodiac, then they will also be analyzed in the Sidereal zodiac. Also, if the Sun and Moon are in the same zodiac sign, then only the Sun position is interpreted; the Moon position, being the same as the Sun position, does not need to be interpreted in this case.

Your Sun is in Capricorn (Tropical zodiac).

Capricorn's influence inclines you to be one who is both a materialist AND one interested in spiritual things.For instance, you were probably once among the natives of North America, who long before the white man set foot upon this shore, had developed an extraordinarily rich and meaningful culture. In fact, many things associated with the American Indians are likely to be innate talents or otherwise special to you.

From one or more lifetimes as a native American, you developed a knack for being able to handle powerful changes in your life situation. You also have an appreciation of the balance and organized interplay of Mother Nature and her creatures, as well this natural ability to move with the flow of life around you.

While you have a strong sense of independence and personal identity, you also well understand the necessity for people to live and work together as social beings. Therefore you acknowledge and accept the need for group organization, responsibility and structured communications.

Order, responsibility and structure, along with a capacity to cope and grow with heavy changes in life, are also key influences of Saturn, the planet which rules or best symbolizes the sign of Capricorn.

Now, because of your independent, down-to-earth attitude, carried over in part from past lives when your personal sense of identity was intense, you may often experience a kind of power struggle with your partner. This attitude probably occurred often in times of military involvement with the ideals of victory with honor, such as during the Greek wars between ancient Sparta and Athens. [1869-1]

Your Moon is in Libra (Tropical zodiac).

You may remember, in your deeper meditations and dreams, experiences from long ago when you were among great artists, sculptors, poets, and craftsmen of ancient India as well as the more recent leaders of prosperous, classical Greece. Even later day Venice, Florence and other Italian cities developed some of this love of culture, beauty and appreciation of art which you were closely involved with then and which you find rewarding still.

Venus is the planet of love, beauty and art, so it is very appropriate to convey the symbolic essence of the sign Libra, which it rules. Venus' influence through Libra also makes that which is crass and primitive quite unnatural for you to accept gracefully, or to participate in willingly.

You may also have been among many who reincarnated in the American South just before the Civil War. In the present you may have to learn the lesson of providing for your own needs, luxury and comfort rather than having others do provide these things for you. In fact, one of the challenges of Libra lies in being too liberal or indulgent with oneself. With prayerful application of your will, this too can be overcome. [303-31]

Your Sun is in Sagittarius (Sidereal zodiac).

Great expanses of space, including the seemingly endless expanse of oceans, are likely to call to you, and in them you probably find some of your most quieting and comforting experiences. In your past lives, then, under circumstances when great expanses and very broad spaces brought you the most insightful and contemplative experiences of your mental being, it was then that spiritually you probably gained the most.

For example, traveling long ago as a Spanish, English or even Japanese settler, pioneer or explorer, you may have crossed the oceans in search of a better world. You were then part of a strong sea-faring culture which frequently set out --over a period of many centuries -- to explore, invade and often defeat enemies and cultures usually much greater in strength and size.

Jupiter is the planet which rules or symbolizes the heart of Sagittarian energies, supplying you with a broadly courageous -- though at times daredevil -- quality. Yet underneath this often exciting exterior lies a calm but calculating mind. Another characteristic experience is one or more past lives involving a lot of movement, change and separation from your family and your cultural roots.In your deeper meditations you might recall urges and impressions of migrating at the time of the Deluge of Atlantis (commonly called the Great Flood), to other, safer lands to begin a new life and a new age of history.

Your more intimate, personal relationships often may not be as harmonious as you would really like for them to be. This challenge is rooted in past lives when, as in the present, you were somewhat inclined to prefer partnerships capable of enduring considerably different interests through a great deal of diverse activity. [1740-1]

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 Leo Decanate

Your sidereal Sun is in the decanate of LEO, which is ruled by the Sun. The Sun as Past Life Planet indicates a high level of soul development and power with great potential for spiritual service and leadership in the present.

As the Sun sojourn between lives is the highest interlife experience possible in this system, you may have voluntarily chosen to reincarnate to help and uplift others. Therefore one or more prior lifetimes of leadership in religious or state affairs, or both, in ancient Egypt, Persia, modern Europe, or elsewhere in Asia, is likely.

Your Moon is in Libra Decanate

Your sidereal Moon is in LIBRA 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.
