In astrology reading, we often use South Node and North Node to gain insight related to the past life and the implication of our present. The problem with that approach, according to Chriss Brenan, a Hellenistic Astrologer, is the writings about past life just start to rise relatively recently around 100 years ago. Earlier than that, there’s no writing related to past life using the nodal axis.
From that perspective, to be honest, I’m a little bit skeptical about using that nodal axis for past life and soul purpose indicator in astrology chart. But recently, I’ve found a real-life case that might give me more thought about using the nodal axis for reading about past life.
Some Catch Up About Astrology Methods That I Use
As we know, many astrologers use South Node to get some insight into the native’s past life and any detail related to a past life that ‘bleed’ into the present. And using the knowledge from past life, then we can find in which sector we work/ improve in this present life by using the North Node.
While in general astrology, I’m more relying on Hellenistic Astrology, and in this case, I’m using the annual profection method to indicate the native’s theme of life each year by using their natal chart. For the house system, I’m using WholeSign House System.
In short, in a natal chart, each house can give us some theme of their life each year. Starting from 1st house as when the native just born, 2nd house when the native already 1-year-old, 3rd house when they are 2nd year old, and rotating until 1st house again when they are 12 years old, 24, 36, 48 years old, and so on.
As the bigger theme of the native’s life, we can analyze the planet on a respective house and the house ruler on which the theme of their lives will be correlated.
Enough of the catch-up, and move on to a real case that I’ve found.
Real Sample Case Related to Past Life
This case already has permission from my friend, at the note that I’m sharing only his chart; not the date and time of birth, and only using an alias. So let’s call him “Jake”.
At that time, I’m sitting down with Jake, enjoying a drink in a cafe after a teaching session. I’m holding his chart, which looks like this.
After several talks about astrology in general, while he didn’t hold his chart, and just knew about the planet and zodiac and house in his birth chart (not yet knowing about the nodal axis), he start telling some private stories about how he met his wife.
At the age of 22 (in which he has 11th house profection as his general theme for the year), he is still in a relationship. He got some urge feeling to go sightseeing on the upper floor of the campus where he studied. He didn’t know the reason but just want to go there. When he arrived at the upper floor after several minutes have passed, a woman had just passed through him and somehow he takes an interest in her.
Long story short, by his impulse, he break up with his girlfriend at that time and got closer to this ‘new woman’ he just met. And finally, they are both married and have a stable family.
At first, he didn’t know the real reason why he married his wife, all he know from his viewpoint, it looks like his ‘destiny’ to be with her. Since he’s a person who has an interest in something spiritual, I thought those answers might be expected.
6 years later after he met his wife first time, he knows from his dream and meditation, that his wife is his soulmate from several previous life before. And in each lifetime, they long for each other. After those kinds of vision, he finally accept that and lived a happy life.
Now, for the astrological jargon, at the age of 22 in which his 11th house profection, there’s a south node in there. Saturn in the 11th house also his 7th house ruler, signifies potential marriage or finding the right partner in that year. And as we know, the south node also gives insight into “past live”.
And 6 years later, in which his 5th house profection year, there’s a north node in Leo. 5th house ruler also in 10th house, very near the 11th house cusps. At that time, he finds those marriages because of “past life” stuff. And I think that’s somewhat bizarre but true to his chart.
And on the other hand, this kind of case also open my eyes, maybe the nodal axis as something related to past life can also be studied more in detail after all. Even though this topic about past life just raised only around 100 years.
