hidyaphrodite, why don't u make a new post or post here only & explain about it.

Hi All,
I posted this in the Reincarnation Forum, and maybe it was the wrong forum. Many apologies for posting this twice. I have become interested in Karmic Astrology. I am reading a book by Jeanne Avery, and would like to know more about this. Does anyone have any suggestions as to any software, or books on this subject. I am a beginner, so I will have to start simple. Thanks,

Suebee

Oh my. I see a post addressed to me that I somehow missed. Not surprised as this was the time my beloved kitty was injured and subsequently passed away so I wasn't spending much time cruising the net or forums. At any rate, a book I use and have found very helpful is "A Spiritual Approach To Astrology" by Myrna Lofthus.

Thanks a lot! Sorry to hear about your kitty. I am an avid cat lover, having rescued animals and now I have fourteen of them ! LOL

Just by looking at the birth chart, you can get a sense of what you are here to learn by looking at the moon's nodes. They are not actual planets, but are points formed by the moon's orbit around the earth.   They can tell you a lot about your gifts, talents, tendencies to avoid, your needs and your goals.  

The North Node indicates the gifts and talents that are at your disposal in this lifetime.  Just as you spent so much time and energy developing one aspect of your character in past lives, there was another part of you -- the polar opposite -- that was totally neglected.  Thus, when you came into this incarnation, you were out of balance.  So you must consciously develop the part of you that was neglected in past lives by experimenting with, and building on, your talents and gifts of the north node. It's like a muscle that hasn't been used.  

The South Node shows the tendencies to avoid that you were born with.  In past lives these behaviours served you well; when you acted from these motivations, you won.  So, you came into this incarnation with a subconscious memory of success, and you keep pursuing the same behaviours that enabled you to thrive in your past lives.  Lifetime after lifetime you kept strengthening this one part of yourself from every possible direction until it grew out of proportion. So in this incarnation, it is set up in your astrology chart for these old patterns not to work.  

You can get astounding information from your North Node and your South Node signs in your birth chart, aspects to them, and transits to them.  There is a lot of information on the internet on them.  A birth chart would show where yours are.
