I'm doing astrology merely as a hobby/interest, nothing professional. I'm more into the ESP/Psychic abilities that I have. I only use astrology for prediction of current events and the energies available to us, which is the only reason I use it. I don't think that karma or past lives has anything to do with astrology, none whatsoever. I base this on the contacts that I've had in the spirit realm.
My belief is that a spirit chooses a certain life, not to pay off some debt, but simply to learn how it feels to live a life you never had before. If you kill someone in this lifetime, you might choose to incarnate as a victim and be killed in the next lifetime. This is not forced upon a spirit, it's a choice. One might incarnate as the father of your father, but only as a choice. Another aspect of a game, another character. A spirit might also choose to never incarnate into life again. Liberation can be obtained on earth, but it really doesn't matter in the end because there is nothing to pay or to gain.
There is no punishment, nor is there any reward for anything a spirit chooses to do in a incarnation. The only karma that exists is in this lifetime. It can be cleared, or not. It depends on what the spirit accepts. Some do not accept any forgiveness, because it is not what they want. They want to feel how it is to live like this, so by paying off karma you actually interfere with another spirit's ability to learn.
Buddhist play a great game, as well as other followers of any religion. They try to help/teach "others" to reach enlightenment/saving while they themselves will never be enlightenment/saved because they interfere with the chosen incarnation of other spirits here on earth. This only meets resistance and self-corruption. It's funny actually, because their belief in karma-reincarnation is the very thing that prevents them and others to learn. Because there is nothing to clear, and nothing to pay, one should never interfere, not in good and not in bad ways. Because karma that is forced upon others will stall their progress, even if it is good karma. Doing good can cause more trouble than doing bad. It is something that many never realized.
Anyway, that is what I wanted to say about karma/reincarnation.
