On another post Sidereal Supastar has given me some info on possibly locating the geographical location of the past life. She uses a Book & software program , also stuff like Cart-astro-graphing ( I think) , Solar Maps Software can possibly locate the place of interest. I haven't go that far yet, but can't wait to see if we can actually find out where we have been & the karmic aspects of the past.
Wow, this is fascinating stuff; I never thought astrological techniques could be used to possibly identify both the time and place of important incarnations!
Unfortunately, I've sort of fallen into a rut because the date of the one incarnation of which I am the most certain--1911, the year of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire--is not appearing anywhere on my chart; it's associated with 30 Aquarius/0 Pisces, and I don't have any planets in late Aquarius or early Pisces.
My excitement has been renewed with the positions of my outer planets in Capricorn, though; I've felt this strange, almost patriotic affiliation with France for many years now and used to get a bit indignant whenever I heard someone criticize France's political decisions. I also had a strange obsession with the French Revolution after reading
The Scarlet Pimpernel in eighth grade, and this ignited again when I discovered the CD of the Broadway musical in the library one day; I don't know if anyone remembers, but I had this whole theme going on with my avatar and my signature for awhile, and my Aries stellium even entertained the idea of creating a new screen name.
I never received any strong confirmation that I lived during this tumultuous time period, although ironically, I believe it's more apparent in my natal chart than the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire; Aquarius is the sign on my twelfth house cusp, and its ruler, Uranus, is stationary retrograde in my natal chart conjunct my Midheaven. I remember reading a tidbit someplace that Uranus was discovered on the eve of the French Revolution, but since I probably got this information from Wikipedia, it could be incorrect.
Anyway, I'm going to calculate the exact year associated with my natal Uranus and check back here
EDIT: I just calculated the years associated with Uranus (August 1745), Neptune (May or June 1777), and Saturn (May 1783), and unfortunately, all of these years were before the French Revolution. Does anyone know if the years indicated by this chart indicate the year one was born into or died in this particular incarnation, or perhaps the year in which the most important event took place? Should we be looking for events that occurred exactly during these years or use them as an approximate time frame?
The only major event that took place in May 1783 according to the
1783 Wikipedia article is this:
May 18 - Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada- First United Empire Loyalists reach Parrtown.
Somehow, I'm just not feeling it.
If I disregard the month I calculated, it seems that the
Treaty of Paris was signed during 1783, which "formally ended the American Revolutionary War between the Kingdom of Great Britain and the United States of America, which had rebelled against British rule starting in 1775." This doesn't have to do with France so much as the United States, but I suppose it's possible that I lived during the American Revolution; I think it inspired several other revolutions that took place during this era.
I don't know why I'm so preoccupied with France, but I'm still not giving up on having some past life connection there. Look at this event that occurred during my approximate May/June 1777 time line:
June 13 - American Revolution: Marquis de Lafayette lands near Charleston, South Carolina to help the Continental Congress train its army.
I remember learning about Marquis de Lafayette in grammar school, and I always liked the story although I don't remember having as strong a reaction to the lesson as I did with the one about the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory. I don't generally have a good memory for history, so usually when something triggers my memory years later, I pay attention.
It seems that I was writing this post while you posted yours; I want to respond to at least one comment before I do some calculations of my own.
By using BLM, Chiron & South Node also made connections to each of the 4 charts I have been playing with. What do you think about using these extra points ?????
I hadn't contemplated using these points, although I did check the approximate years of my nodes out of curiosity; the North Node is in early Pisces, but unfortunately, the year it yields would be after 1911, which is the year I believe I died in my lifetime as Bertha Zeltner Wondross.
I almost wish I could share the story of how I discovered this, although I believe I have done so in past life threads created several years ago. I'm curious how others have discovered their past lives as well; perhaps we should revive these threads!
