Introduction 

        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 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 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 as interpreted through the Edgar Cayce readings for individuals with your very same planetary positions at birth. For the benefit of students of astrology, these positions, along with other technical information, are listed below:

 Chapter 1: The main aspects.

Sun is conjoined with Mercury     Orb 7° 44' 

        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]

Sun is conjoined with Venus     Orb 2° 7' 

        From your previous lives you have an especially strong home- and community-loving influence. Often having a very friendly feeling toward others, you enjoy being supportive and nurturing toward those in whom you are interested. And your artistic talents -- whether decorating and design or photography, or even

music -- should be developed. You are also encouraged to consider an avocation or creative hobby like making ornamental ceramics and pottery that is both beautiful, artistic and practical. All of these Venusian talents have originated in past lives when you followed either identical or closely related pursuits (for instance, you were probably an artist at least once in your cosmic past).

        These inclinations from your prior incarnations, as well as a soul journey in the Venus dimension between lives, additionally give you a love for peace, understanding, contentment, hope, faith, vision, longsuffering and loving-kindness. You especially identify with love and peace, having a broad vision dealing with things that grow in nature. The manifestations of LIFE greatly interest you, particularly sights of such beauties in nature as it opens to the blessings of rain in the afternoon or sunrise in the morning. Birds singing, bees buzzing and the rose -- by just being beautiful -- express joy to you by their using a portion of LIFE, of God, even for only a short time.

        This is not to say that you should worship things that bring material pleasures and ease, whether they be natural or manmade. Instead, keep your heart singing: see images of the Master's face in the rising and setting of the sun and the loveliness of bright moonlight as it turns everything into the radiance of His glory. See in rain, storms, everything in nature, even the ugly, painful things in people's lives, as desires for growth and expression rather than as disorders and hate.

        Hope springing anew would spread to all people everywhere if they could become aware of

and appreciate this consciousness of life which is yours. For your love of life blesses your associations with those to whom you can do good through your kindness and gentleness to them. You are thereby truly using God in the life He gives you. [2060-2, 2100-1, 1434-1, 2185-1, 2385-1, 2328-1, 1745-1, 2402-2, 2895-1]

Your Moon harmoniously aspects Mars.     Orb 2° 31' 

        The ever-emotional Moon points most directly to past lives where you experienced karmic emotions, including lower Mars-ruled passions. These emotions have been tempered and moderated during your previous lives. This prior resolution of your passionate animal side is carried over for your constructive use in relating to others on a personal level in the present. Therefore, regardless of your sex it makes for good relationships with women.

        Past life indicators include a recent lifetime in America's pioneer days and an earlier incarnation involved with the Roman Empire. These likely experiences give you a great deal of courage.

        Also, from your previous lives and your soul journeys in the Mars sphere of consciousness between lives, your subconscious feelings are in basic harmony with your expressions of energy. Positive influences of this resourceful aspect incline you not only to be courageous, but also energetic and healthy, with excellent recuperative powers and an overall strong vitality.

Your Moon is in a harmonious aspect with Saturn     Orb 4° 4' 

        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 harmoniously aspects Uranus.     Orb 3° 42' 

        You are bringing into your present life highly original talents and concepts from your longago lifetime in Atlantis. Your former soul sojourn in the unusual, individualistic dimension of Uranus carries your Atlantean talents and positive karma with others over into the present. This gives you brilliant, inventive, creative and inspirational leadership abilities in spiritual yet scientific, progressive and enduring 'New Age' philosophical movements.

        You are inclined to be very spiritually oriented, both outwardly and inwardly, but usually not at the same time. Great emotional influences also appear in your experience, but with an inclination outwardly to be cold and reserved rather than intensely emotional, yet having a great deal of emotion inwardly.

        You have considerable power to heal others through the strong action of your touch and counsel, the genius of your teaching and the magnetism of your personality. You are likely to have an extraordinary life full of extremes and unexpected changes.

        Through your keen, virtually psychic level of intuition and mental alertness, you will probably make a distinct opportunity out of every obstacle you encounter by willfully converting each stumblingblock into a steppingstone toward the Light. Such a positive approach to life is uniquely your own and is something that you certainly should share with others in need of upliftment and inspiration. [1089-3, 1958-1, 633-2]

Your Mars is in an inharmoniously patterns Saturn     Orb 1° 32' 

        Mars is the consciousness dimension experienced between earth lives which prompts us toward action and applying energy (whether aggressively, athletically, competitively, militarily or wrathfully). Saturn is the realm of heavy changes and basic soul reprogramming. You chose a day of birth when these two planets were inharmoniously squared off or opposite each other in the zodiac, as seen from the earth. This is a challenging pattern which creates a tendency for you to be pulled often in opposite directions: for instance, you may have urges to act yet feel equally strongly the necessity not to act.

        These conflicting, if not erratic, influences have been fed by your interlife soul activities in these planetary heavens, with the challenge wherein you 'blow hot, then cold.' This results in dissatisfaction frequently entering into areas of your life -- especially your career -- in which your physical energies are directed.

        So special effort will be needed at such times for you to exert your will force to control your temperament. This is particularly likely to be true of urges toward anger and a tendency toward hastiness in drawing conclusions and judging others. This is usually because others are not in accord with a specific desire of yours to impel them to think the same way as you do.

        In your previous life you may well have been an American pioneer or pilgrim, perhaps acting as a soldier of fortune, or as one of those who condemned spiritualism in New England (which was then called witchcraft). While the action of your will regarding personal ideals of love and unity override ALL astrological and karmic influences, it may appear at times that you take

advantage of others, pursuing things which are satisfying to you at the moment.

        If and when such conditions manifest, bear in mind that you are part of a larger whole, part of a family, a city, a body of laws, a country, a part of the Body of Christ. Unless you are as considerate of others as you are of yourself, in this natural wholistic relationship just described, there will come turmoil and strife. Remember too that soul growth does not necessarily come from some mighty act of courage or grand purpose to carry out through some spectacular experience. And do bear in mind that true spiritual progress comes through what you THINK in your heart day by day.

        In fact, anyone is blessed if they have the good fortune -- as you can have through exercising your free will -- to turn those forces that seem to block your constructive thoughts and actions into opportunities to revive your soul's purpose in this lifetime.

        And it is this very lack of a definite higher purpose that probably drives you through such restless, often self-centered changes and varying interests. Instead, center your purpose in the Christ and prayerfully study and personalize His promises in the Scriptures, especially in chapters 14-17 of John's Gospel.

        Above all, know what your ultimate standard, your true purpose, your guiding ideal really is way down deep: that is, determine within yourself, for instance through studying your dreams or other forms of self-analysis, whether your ideal is spiritual, truly creative, or merely for enhancing your ego and for self-gratification. The choice can only be made by you.

        On the more resourceful side, you have a naturally good business sense and with application of your will toward tempering your temperament, development of your soul forces -- bringing you contentment and satisfaction -- is likely to come near the middle of your life. [1977-1, 3630-2, 1757-2, 4835-1, 1587-1, 1978-1]

Your Mars is conjoined with Uranus.     Orb 1° 10' 

        While urges arise from soul sojourns through astrological aspects, they do not force you to act in any specific way. Rather than a forced reaction to urges, your experiences in the planetary heavens are for higher training purposes (similarly, earth incarnations are forms of emotional practice). Your sojourn in the psychic, extreme dimension of Uranus followed by a visit in the energetic, warring realm of Mars makes you almost 100% Uranian in your inner urges. One consequence of being nearly full Uranian is that you are probably equally an Atlantean, with many contradictory emotions and activities likely to be manifested in this lifetime.

        Extremes of moods may cause you to be very active, headstrong and over-enthusiastic at one time, with a great deal of will-power, courage and determination concerning a specific association or activity. Yet at other times you may care little and pay no attention to it. At the same time you are naturally intuitive and psychic, knowing many things without knowing how you obtained the information. Some times you may find yourself very lucky, with everything going your way, and at other times nothing seems to go your way: during such periods for instance, you may find it virtually impossible to win through any game of chance. It

would be wise for you to stay away from gambling in any form, whether in card games, sports or races and avoid any kind of speculative investments such as stocks.

        Also, firearms, speeding automobiles and body-contact sports should be avoided or dealt with using extreme caution, as there is a likelihood of serious injury to your head. Your tendency toward violent outbreaks of temper makes caution here absolutely necessary. Nervous system strain is another condition to be warned of, as your great courage during dangerous moments may outlast your patience and natural resistance to stress.

        With the application of your will to meet these tests -- and you are indeed capable of meeting them as part of your soul's training -- you may well find yourself affable, respected and helpful through them. In fact, your great vitality, energy and intuition can be turned into potentially remarkable healing instruments if you make up your mind to devote them to service on behalf of others.

        A prayer or affirmation to help you with the above-mentioned challenges might go something like, 'When things become difficult, Lord, let me not forget you. Make me see that constructive changes can never occur through impetuous action, but only through proper planning. Teach me to exercise control, so that I may bring equanimity and orderliness into all my daily affairs. But if an emergency should arise, I pray that You will help me find vast reserves of strength to assist those in need. Lord, show me how to put my relentless energy to good use.' [1885-2, 1334-1, 406-1]

Your Jupiter is in an inharmonious pattern Neptune     Orb 6° 29' 

        Your experience in the Neptune and Jupiter dimensions between lives carries over into your present life an interest in universal principles, mystical beliefs, philosophical and religious mysteries, as well as the mysterious and magical sides of peoples lives.

        In these schemes and dreams, you are more inclined than the average soul to go through periods of daydreaming, pondering, musing, whether inward wondering or emotional wandering, you keep many things to yourself. Yet during these periods of inner mental activity ask yourself if you are fully exercising your own true abilities and opportunities this lifetime.

        You may long ago have been exposed to the Ultimate Mystic and Universal Principle, the Messiah, or some of His close followers, in the Holy Land during the New Testament period. Yet, in addition to afterlife soul journeys in Jupiter and Neptune, sometime since then, perhaps in your immediately previous life, you may have unlearned some of what you gained in your Early Church experience through, for instance, an early American incarnation when you may have opposed those whose beliefs were different from yours.

        As a karmic result, then, when faced with disappointment resulting from deception and domination by others, you may ask yourself whether you are strong enough in your faith. This is emphasized because, in addition to having a pleasing outer temperament and tremendous inner resources from your lifetime in ancient Israel, you

have a great deal of strength in your spiritual inclinations and marked leadership potential, especially involving groups and larger numbers of people even in the business world.

        However, you may tend to allow your own beliefs, ideals, intuitions and unique capacities to be made subservient to the circumstances, attitudes and beliefs of others. This may have more than once brought you the feeling that you were hedged in by outer circumstances and if you could only have the opportunity for your wishes to be realized, how different things would be for you socially, financially and psychologically!

        One likely consequence of this is a tendency toward exaggeration and at times confused shifts of feelings. For instance, you may find yourself going from near elation over some circumstances in your life to downright despondency with other ones.

        Moreover, your true beliefs and feelings concerning your relationships with individuals and groups (for example feelings involving deception, exaggeration or simple confusion) are likely to be hidden from those close to you. However, because you are very impressionable, make a special effort to apply your will to stabilize yourself inwardly so you can better use abilities you have in many different directions, whether as a leader or in building and binding friendships. Bear in mind always that through your free will you can always CHOOSE to loose yourself from and stay aloof from relationships that take advantage of you.

        Also, remember that the ability to pursue constructively your opportunities as a leader on one hand and to control these challenging

situations you are meeting from past life links with others nonetheless lies entirely within you and not another. You must simply will yourself actively to express your innate abilities, perceptions, feelings and intuitions in a direct, straightforward fashion. This includes saying 'No' to false friends as well as false beliefs. Were you to do this, supported spiritually with consistent meditation and vigilant prayer to be guided by the Divine Will rather than the will of another, you will find a far freer and greater potential for expression this lifetime. [1929-1, 240-2]

Your Saturn is in an inharmonious aspect Uranus     Orb 0° 22' 

        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, 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, 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. [4840-1, 3674-1]

Your Saturn harmoniously aspects Neptune.     Orb 7° 37' 

        You were born at a time when Saturn (practical planet of changes) and Neptune (spiritual plane of ideals, dreams, and visions) were in a resourceful, flowing pattern. This is one of the most fortunate ones to have at birth, for Neptune elevates Saturn to its highest, most ideal level.

        Therefore, from your karmic past this brings you spirituality and philosophical depth with the ability to rely on and apply your dream and

meditation guidance in practical ways. Rather than seeking counsel around you, meet your Maker within yourself, and let the guidance come there as to what you shall do.

        Another fortunate feature of this pattern is the opportunity for you to explore inner spiritual planes successfully and without misfortune. You can then express your experiences in useful, concrete ways valuable to others on the spiritual path.

        In other words, you can be of unique service as the practical spiritual pioneer who dreams. These experiences in the earth are not so that you can achieve either fame or fortune or even the recognition of a wonderful accomplishment, but that you can always be a channel through which blessings and help may come to others.

        In addition, you are inclined to be very conscientious and hard working, with very good business skills, especially in management and organizational work, and in design or planning.

        Be sure to balance the responsible, business side of your life with opportunities for rest and recreation. You will be even more effective when you labor if you take time to love nature -- to smell its flowers, listen to its birds, watch its sunsets.

 Chapter 2: Sidereal and Tropical positions. Your Past Life Decanates

NOTE: The Zodiac signs of the Sun and Moon areanalyzed below. First they will be analyzed in

the Tropical zodiac. If the positions aredifferent in the Sidereal zodiac, then they

will also be analyzed in the Sidereal zodiac.Also, if the Sun and Moon are in the same zodiacsign, then only the Sun position is interpreted;the Moon position, being the same as the Sunposition, does not needed to be interpreted in

this case.

Tropical Sun/Moon Aries 

        From Aries are found inclinations often to be considered by others as being headstrong. You may also be very hard to convince alongside judgments you have made which have been the determining factors in your experience. Yet once you are convinced of something, you become very determined in that particular direction.

        This tendency toward self-determination and being headstrong is probably rooted in at least one lifetime in ancient Palestine. Your likely link with the tribal nomads known as the Hebrews is expressed in your urge either to be a powerful yet somewhat dogmatic leader or to be inclined to follow someone with strong leadership qualities.

        Also, living in large or extended family units dominated by a strong director or leader (whether male or female), having special admiration for winners, or even being totally submissive to another person who you feel is somehow in charge of you and your life are characteristic inclinations from similar experiences long ago.

        Of course, Mars is the primary planet which symbolizes or rules the sign of Aries. This makes Mars and martial urges of special significance to you this lifetime. Therefore, depending on whether or not you apply your will, responding to conflict situations with directness and force are likely to be among your subconscious urges. These urges are

from your prior experiences in the realm of Mars and from one or more past lives in the harsh, ancient desert culture of Israel and neighboring Arab lands.

        Also from Mars, the Ram influence and this past lifetime in ancient Canaan and Palestine you may feel a need not only to be a leader or director but to excel in your career or in more physical endeavors like exercising or a competitive activities such as sports.[279-4, 340-15, 1804-1]

Tropical Sun/Moon Taurus 

        Taurus' influence inclines you to be somewhat headstrong, with a very set and determined manner. Hence you are not always understood in everything you try to do, or in things which you know yourself to be true. Yet longlasting are the influences you make on others with whom you have deep associations from previous lives.

        Remember, success or accomplishment in life is not a matter of some great force or influence. Just as taught by the Master, it is not the power of the storm or of the earthquake or of great noises and the like. Rather it is the still small voice speaking from within you which becomes the influence through which movements of truly great forces really arise.

        Since your childhood, being outdoors and living close to nature is probably more significant to you than to most others. This love of nature and the great outdoors is from one or more past lives spent on a farm or in nature settings. For ages countries on the Mediterranean such as ancient Egypt, Greece and virtually all of the ancient Mideast lived in close contact with nature. So did

the Native Americans of pre-Columbian America. And surely you were one of them.

        Farming, fishing and hunting then, are among your familiar pursuits (even if they only involve occasional outdoor activities like gardening, boating or indoors, tending flowers and plants). You also probably have greater confidence in wholistic, natural healing approaches than in modern medicine's 'advanced' yet artificial technology.

        Now, Venus is the planet which rules or best symbolizes the essence of the sign Taurus. Of course, Venus symbolizes the female sex. Centuries ago in oriental cultures women were more feminine -- and experienced much more respect -- than today. A lifetime in Asia and lands like China, then, are also a likely part of your past life experiences.[1149-1, 1641-1]

Sidereal Sun/Moon Pisces 

        Coming under the influences of Pisces, water and religion or spiritual matters are likely to have an untold influence on you. Of course, this depends upon the way you respond to these kinds of experiences, for they have probably played an important part or at least have been innate in your experience through many lifetimes in the earth.

        Pisces means or symbolizes what is naturally, or by its very nature, representative of influences of the higher soul or higher spiritual level. Hence those things of the spiritual nature should preferably be the way in which your judgments are drawn, as to whether this or that activity should be your impelling influence. Not that you should become lost in motives or in influences impelling

your actions: just use those things of the spiritual import as the measuring rod of your activities and experiences.

        In light of this, the period around the birth and ministry of Jesus, the Christ, is the clearest past life for you to recall and build upon in the present. You may even remember a lifetime as part of Roman culture, where priority was placed upon position in society and in the military.

        Another early Church memory might be stronger for you: the hills around Galilee and the desert near the Dead Sea where the Essenes and others gathered to meditate and study. Then too you may be emotionally drawn to painful scenes of being among early Christians who were martyred for the courage of believing in the Messiah. Regardless of specifics, you are quite likely always to be dominated by a sense of expectancy and mystery.

        In later lifetimes since the early Church period, you were probably celibate, as a nun or monk of a leading religious order.

        Noble, compassionate Jupiter and spiritual, mystical Neptune are the two rulers or key symbols for the sign of Pisces. From Neptune comes the intuitive forces, the mystical or mysterious influences in your experience, whether you allow them to be mentally or consciously active or not. Another influence of these planets as expressed through Pisces is that although you have a great deal of compassion, you may be too passive in expressing your personal energy and soul force. Also, it will probably be much easier for you than for most people to suppress your sexual desires because of the memory of one or more past lives

when you set aside your personal concerns for the good of the entire community. [816-3, 1506-1, 997-1]

Sidereal Sun/Moon Aries 

        From Aries are found inclinations often to be considered by others as being headstrong. You may also be very hard to convince alongside judgments you have made which have been the determining factors in your experience. Yet once you are convinced of something, you become very determined in that particular direction.

        Also from Mars, the Ram influence and this past lifetime in ancient Canaan and Palestine you may feel a need not only to be a leader or director but to excel in your career or in more physical endeavors like exercising or a competitive activities such as sports.[279-4, 340-15, 1804-1]

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 CANCER DECANATE 

        Your sidereal Sun is in the decanate of CANCER, which is ruled by the Sun. Sun points to your immediately previous lifetime as contributing so powerfully to your emotional makeup and mental urges this lifetime that it overrides a great deal of astrology's influence. In other words, your karmic drives and emotions are likely to be more influential than the more subtle, mental astrological urges from your interlife sojourns in

the planetary heavens.

        You are especially sensitive to the feelings of others. And from strong past life links, your mother (this lifetime) exerts a dominant influence. Also, it is probable that experiences during your immediately previous incarnation exerts a stronger influence on your emotional makeup and interests than influences from other lifetimes before your last one.

YOUR MOON IS IN LEO DECANATE 

        Your sidereal Moon 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. 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.
