Past Lives by Sign:
Ever wondered about your former lives? Your Sun sign (and Moon sign, if you
know it) provides intriguing clues to the past, which lives on in your
subconscious mind. An Aries who's always sparring for a fight may once have
braved the harsh deserts of the Middle East as a warring nomad. And where
does Gemini get that agile mind? From lifetimes in ancient Greece spent
learning many languages. A Cancer's life is all about family due to memories
of rearing children in matriarchal Crete. Capricorns rise naturally to a
responsible position because they were once military strategists in ancient
China or Native American chiefs. Who were you in a previous lifetime?
Aries (March 21 to April 19)
In your heart, Aries, you're a warrior ... and always have been. Memories of
glory on the battlefield still live on in your soul, which explains why you
re so quick to take offense or fight for what you believe in. You may have
been a tribal warrior in ancient Palestine, or fought as a Ninja in Asian
lands. Perhaps you honed your athletic skills as a runner in ancient Sparta,
or used your brawn to defend your Macedonian king. Now your challenge is to
utilize your fiery, impetuous nature to bring about peace instead of war.
Taurus (April 20 to May 20)
A deep love of nature is imprinted in your soul, Taurus, from lives spent
raising plants and animals in pastoral settings like Thailand or the South
Seas. This explains your green thumb! And, you honed your love for beauty
and art crafting objects such as woven tapestries and shoes, likely in
Oriental cultures ... where your well-developed feminine sensibilities were
highly regarded. In pre-Columbian America, you honored the Earth as your
mother. In your pursuit of material things, remember that She is your true
security.
Gemini (May 21 to June 20)
You've always been a restless soul, Gemini, even in past lives. You sought
action and adventure in Europe in the Middle Ages, and may have even been
among the nobility of France or England. Jousting tournaments or trade
caravans to India or China were part of your world. Fleet of foot and tongue
you were often cast in the role of messenger or translator. Your thirst for
knowledge and novelty has led to an overdeveloped mind, but now it's time to
cultivate the heart.
Cancer (June 21 to July 22)
Your past lives have often revolved around family dramas, Cancer. Sometimes
you play the role of dutiful mother, and other times you are the rebellious
or dependent child. You probably lived in matriarchal, close-knit cultures
such as those of early Egypt, in which the Great Mother was worshipped as
all-powerful. Though you learned to be an excellent nurturer while raising
many children or care-taking others, you may have failed to develop your
individuality. Now you must seek to understand and nourish yourself.
Leo (July 23 to Aug. 22)
Royalty runs in your blood, Leo. Those childhood daydreams of the courts of
Kings and Queens in Europe or ancient Mesopotamia may have their roots in
distant memories. Ever wonder why you're so comfortable being in the center
of things? You've spent many lifetimes as an accomplished performer -- from
Roman gladiator to celebrated Italian opera singer. Or perhaps you were a
high-ranking Viking general. Your ego is well developed -- now you're
learning to harness it to work for the good of the whole.
Virgo (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)
Your uncanny ability to serve and heal others is not new to you on a soul
level, Virgo. You were probably a monk or nun in medieval Europe, setting
aside your personal concerns for a higher purpose. And your talent for
separating the wheat from the chaff derives quite literally from lifetimes
as an herbalist or farmer, perhaps in Celtic lands. While initiating young
people in an Amazon rain forest tribe, you became a great teacher. Your
challenge now is to shift from industrious doing to relaxed being ... and
enjoy life
Libra (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)
Picture yourself strolling the manicured gardens at the court of Louis the
Fourteenth. Your refined sensibilities and love of beauty were developed
long before this lifetime, Libra. You were likely among the great artists
and poets of ancient India or classical Greece, and had your heyday in the
Italian Renaissance. But your sense of justice was also sharpened by being a
"have" in a "have-not" world. Now, your mandate is to help balance the
scales.
Scorpio (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)
Your soul has often journeyed through dark and dangerous realms, Scorpio, in
its search for deeper meaning. You may have been a slave or concubine in
ancient Persia, learning how to retain your dignity even while subject to
another. Or, perhaps you were a medieval alchemist or astrologer, divining
the secrets of the universe. You may have been among the culturally advanced
Chinese, where you learned to perform what was required ... but also to
suppress your feelings. Being upfront is your challenge in this life.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21)
In your quest for freedom, Sagittarius, you've been exploring the world for
millennia. You may have crossed the country in a covered wagon or the ocean
as a Spanish explorer. And, you didn't hesitate to invade and defeat the
cultures you met to forge your new life. Perhaps you pursued a spiritual
calling as a priest or evangelical missionary. Either way, you were often
separated from your family and culture. You've become a budding planetary
citizen ... now your task is to put down roots and blossom.
Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)
You've always been wiser than your years, Capricorn ... because you've spent
lifetimes honing your skills and executive capabilities. You were probably
among the natives of North America, where you developed a knack for living
close to nature and being a leader among men. You're a natural builder and
may have helped to construct pyramids in Egypt or Peru, where your spiritual
interests were first piqued. Now you must learn to fuse the material and
spiritual ... to create heaven here on earth.
Aquarius (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)
Your role as a dreamer and visionary dates back to prior lifetimes, Aquarius
According to psychic Edgar Cayce, your sign is associated with the
prehistoric "space age" civilization of Atlantis, which sank beneath the
waves due to misuse of technology. No wonder you're so attuned to computers,
mathematics and symbolic systems like astrology. In ancient Baghdad, you may
have been the king's magician. Or more recently, you helped develop atomic
energy. You're called to use your brilliance to serve mankind.
Pisces (Feb. 19 to March 20)
You're an "old soul," Pisces -- this may well be the last of many lifetimes
for you. Because you've long subjugated your ego to a higher cause --
perhaps as a healer or spiritual initiate -- the light of love and
compassion shine strongly in you. You're well acquainted with sacrifice,
perhaps literally as an Aztec offering to the land. You may also have
subconscious memories as a follower of Jesus. You're accustomed to setting
aside your personal concerns for the good of all ... just make sure your needs
are also met.
