Astrology can be an effective tool when it comes to deciphering past lives in relationships, as Marmanides notes. Keep an eye out for any karmic aspects such as conjunctions of Moon nodes with Venus, Mars or Pluto in a partner’s chart – these might offer clues as to their past lives in love relationships.
Search for trine aspects between personal planets in both charts. This indicates a natural bond that could aid healing and growth.
The South Node
South Nodes (also called Lunar Nodes) are key parts of planet relationship past lives astrology. Here your karmic baggage lives; understanding this helps move us toward our true path in life.
The South Node depicts what you brought with you from past lives, while the North Node illuminates what’s meant to happen during this one. Because these nodes tend to fall in opposite signs and houses, they act as natural remedies against each other according to astrologer Kelly Monahan – for instance if both nodes fall within Aries but your South Node lies within Libra you could be learning to accept your independence while relaxing your rigid ideas about relationships with partners.
Wells suggests that if your South Node lies within Taurus, for instance, that this indicates you lived as an artist in an earlier lifetime. “You were intimately aware of the power and spirit present within all things and recognized tangible resources as powerful talismans,” according to Wells. It could also have been that you were either an astute businessperson or someone who appreciated having their own private sanctuary space.
Your South Node typically reflects your core karmic comfort zones. If it forms a conjunction between you and one of the relationship-oriented planets in another person’s chart – like Venus, Mars, or Pluto – this could indicate that there may have been some form of relationship in a past life, according to Christy Marmanides of Astrologia Christy Marmanides.
The Twelfth House
The 12th House (Kundli) in your natal chart represents dreams and intuition, as ruled by Neptune and Pisces respectively. Spiritual influences also have an effect here; waste management issues such as waste, misery, expenses and divine knowledge become important here along with matters related to Moksha (final liberation). Furthermore it represents our subconscious side or hidden natures.
Any planet in your twelfth house indicates past lives. They were in your ascendant at birth. The twelfth house represents restrictions, harshness, coldness, people on the fringes and “no.” Therefore, any planet residing here could bring these themes back into play in your current life.
If the planets of your partner fall within your 12th house, this indicates a strong spiritual link. Twelfth house partnerships often present both challenges and rewards; those related to unresolved emotions from past lives often surface again during such relationships.
One way of using synastry charts to detect karmic indicators is by looking at the nodes by house and sign. This will reveal what lessons you are being taught (North node) as well as any talents or gifts you wish to share (South node). Personal planet placement within the 12th house and their aspect to nodes also play a vital role.
Trines
Trines in astrology are one of the most beneficial aspects. When two planets form 120-degree angles with each other, this indicates a natural flow of energy between them that allows cooperation and mutual support to take place. Saturn trines represent shared understandings regarding commitment, responsibility and how best to overcome difficulties.
Just as past life karma can be revealed through conjunctions to the North and South Nodes, evidence of past life connections can also be seen through planetary trines. If someone’s natal Saturn appears in your second house it could indicate unfinished business between you two that needs to be resolved through relationships.
Juno may indicate past life relationships that exist within this current life incarnation. She is associated with marriage and family life. If both charts contain other planetary indicators in the fourth house or are ruled by Venus, she can act as an effective past-life indicator in synastry.
At last, any aspect that touches upon the vertex or points at the intersection between your chart and another’s indicates an irrevocable link. The specific planet involved can give more insight into this past life connection – Mars could indicate adversarial relations, the Moon can suggest emotional attachment, Venus would signify romance or Pluto may point toward transformative union.
Retrograde Planets
Retrograde planets appear to move backward and their energy turns inward instead of outward, revisiting past lessons not fully resolved yet and potentially reappearing in your life in smaller doses than when direct. Though their energy may still have some bearing, its impact will be less intense.
Mercury does this three times each year and Pluto every two. This phenomenon adds depth and complexity to an astrological reading and may represent specific past lives with their associated traumas and lessons learned as part of our karmic cycle.
As an example, someone with a retrograde Mercury may have paid the price in previous lives for being careless with words and writing by engaging in deceitful acts which brought scandalous relationships into their life. They will need to find ways to stand up for themselves this lifetime rather than becoming doormats for others.
Jupiter retrograde symbolizes past actions which created poverty, so when this planet sits in your fifth house it can bring about many benefits from your good deeds in the past – however this only works if Jupiter retrograde is in an auspicious position.
