PT 1: Using Astrology to Decode My Past Life & Karmic Lessons: How I’m Reclaiming My Power
Have you ever felt like your life carried patterns that made no sense—until you started looking at them through a spiritual lens?
For the longest time, I wrestled with deep-seated fears, recurring betrayals, and an undeniable pull toward leadership—yet I resisted stepping into my full power. No matter how much I tried to navigate life logically, there were wounds that seemed to come from nowhere, lessons that kept repeating, and an inner knowing that I was here for something bigger.
Then, astrology gave me a key to unlock the deeper truth.
When I explored my South Node, Pluto, and karmic placements, I realized that my struggles weren’t random—they were echoes of past lives, unresolved lessons, and patterns my soul came here to break. But the biggest shift? Instead of seeing these experiences through a lens of victimhood, I began to see them as part of my spiritual training.
This self-awareness has changed the way I navigate life. I’m learning to see challenges not as setbacks, but as invitations to grow. I no longer take betrayals, fears, or repeated patterns personally—I see them as karmic lessons designed to push me toward mastery.
Astrology as a Tool for Self-Awareness & Growth
Astrology isn’t just about personality traits—it’s a map of the soul’s evolution. Looking at my birth chart, I saw exactly why I was born into the circumstances I was, why I attract the relationships I do, and why I’ve felt both drawn to and resistant to stepping into leadership.
What My Chart Revealed About My Past Life:
🔮 South Node in Leo (7th House) → In past lives, I was a person of status—someone in the spotlight, admired, or in positions of power. My life revolved around relationships, but I may have placed too much of my self-worth in external validation, struggling with co-dependency or power dynamics in partnerships.
🔥 Pluto in Scorpio (10th House, Retrograde) → My past-life power came with intensity, secrecy, and transformation. I was deeply involved in authority, leadership, or hidden knowledge, but I either abused power or suffered betrayal from those who wanted mine.
⏳ Saturn in Capricorn (1st House, Retrograde) → This lifetime is about reclaiming self-discipline, sovereignty, and identity after lifetimes of either being forced into rigid roles or suppressing my true self for survival.
When I saw these patterns laid out in my chart, it all clicked:
✔️ Why I deeply fear stepping into leadership, yet feel called to it.
✔️ Why I’ve faced betrayals from friends, family, and lovers who secretly resented me.
✔️ Why integrity and truth mean more to me than survival—because my soul remembers the cost of misusing power.
This was never about punishment. It was about my soul’s evolution.
From Victimhood to Mastery: Applying Universal Laws
At first, I could have easily fallen into the mindset of, “Why does this keep happening to me?” But once I saw the bigger cosmic picture, I realized something:
💡 The universe wasn’t working against me—it was working for me.
Every situation I’ve faced—whether it was betrayal, rejection, or power struggles—was designed to refine me, not break me.
This is where Universal Laws helped shift my perspective:
✨ The Law of Polarity → Every experience has an opposite. My wounds from past-life power struggles are the very thing pushing me toward mastering leadership in this life—but in a way that is healed, conscious, and free from ego.
✨ The Law of Cause & Effect → The betrayals and energy theft I’ve experienced? They weren’t just random misfortunes. They were echoes of my past choices—whether as the betrayer or the betrayed. Instead of being bitter, I asked myself: How do I stop this cycle? The answer? By stepping into self-mastery.
✨ The Law of Vibration → As I raise my awareness, I no longer attract people who seek to misuse my power. The more I trust my intuition, the clearer it becomes who is aligned with my path and who is not.
This shift in perspective changed everything. I stopped resisting my calling. I stopped seeing hardships as something to run from. Instead, I started embracing them as opportunities to break generational cycles and past-life karmic loops.
How This Knowledge Is Helping Me Navigate Life
Understanding my past-life energy and karmic lessons hasn’t just been interesting—it’s been practical. Here’s how it’s actively helping me:
✔ I no longer ignore red flags. My intuition is my first language, and I trust it.
✔ I hold firm boundaries. Not everyone deserves access to my energy, especially those who only seek to take.
✔ I define leadership on my own terms. I am not a savior. I am not here to be drained. I am here to empower, not rescue.
✔ I use my wisdom for evolution. My past-life knowledge isn’t meant to stay in the past. It’s meant to help me grow and make better choices.
The biggest lesson? I don’t have to fear stepping into my purpose. The betrayals of the past do not define my future. The power struggles of past lives do not dictate how I lead in this one.
This time, I rise with discernment, with integrity, and with sovereignty.
Final Thoughts: Astrology as a Guide for Self-Understanding
If you’ve ever felt trapped in repeating cycles, if you’ve ever wondered why certain patterns keep showing up—look at your chart. Look at your South Node, Pluto, and Saturn. They will show you where your soul has been and where it’s trying to go.
But most importantly, remember this: You are not bound by your past. You are here to break free.
This lifetime is about growth, transformation, and mastery. The universe isn’t testing you—it’s training you. And the moment you stop resisting and start learning, everything begins to change.
