Astrology in Depth             Karmic Astrology and Your
                                                     Current Incarnation

       It is always amazing to watch people who are proficient at what they do, and the better they are, the more we are in awe. Yet, it also makes us wonder about the source of their accomplishements, especially when some of the world's greatest achievers never even finished school. We see young children capable of complex chess games, teenagers who can excel at sports way beyond what we would expect of them, and even adults whose rise to brilliance in some endeavor seems disproptionately advanced for their life circumtances.

       Could it be that the human memory is not of one life alone? Maybe the soul remembers things on quite a subconscious level that it has gained experiences with in former lifetimes. Then, in this life, all it takes to trigger these memories is some similar catalyst, an event, a word from a loved one, that somehow unlocks access to these hidden memories and makes it possible for the person to continue where their soul left off.

       This could explain why people find it so easy to learn some things, while others seem beyond comprehension. In fact, sometimes the things they learn easily are the realy hard things, so it would make no sense for them to be more proficient at these things, unless they had some unconscious soul memory from a past life serving them with experience.

        Astrology in recent years has become more and more interested in this realm and many studies have actually emobided a new astrology that embraces this kind of thinking. Karmic Astrology looks at the individual's current life, not as an isolated instance, but instead as a continuation of the soul, which has reincarnated this time in order to perfect what it could not finish in past lives.

       In this sense, it becomes possible, through the study of one's horoscope chart to understand what kind of experiences and soul memories they have brought into this life to improve, and by extrapolation, what kind of lessons they have yet to learn. By looking at astrology this way, the future, instead of being guesswork, is seen as a natural outgrowth of the past, as it evolves itself through experiences that keep increasing the individual's awareness about themself and the world they live in.

       In fact, thinking karmically, we cannot help but reach the conclusion that the very sun sign that a person is born under in the current incarnation holds within it the exact lessons they will have to learn in this life. Thus, the challenges we face in life, are really the karmic lessons we have incarnated to learn, and our horoscope as our blueprint for life, holds within it the very energies and proficiencies we need to meet these challenges.
