There are more people alive now than in the whole of history put together, which kind of knocks linear reincarnation on the head. But the feeling of life before birth and life after death is part of our human gnosis, our intuitive primal faith. And I know that I've always had some type of trace memories of past lives - obviously impossible from a linear space/time perspective. But here's a thought. What if, instead of past lives as in dying and being reborn, we all had homoeopathic traces of many, many different lives? Droplets of this life, droplets of that life........ Western astrology has learnt from its Indian counterpart at least with regard to the introduction of Karma, via the North Node in the horoscope. Whilst whole books have been written on the subject, the South Node by sign, house and aspect is where life is naturally easy, where you automatically gravitate towards, but where there's no real gain in any way - only complacency. The North Node by sign, house and aspect represents that which is hard, challenging and difficult, yet which is vital for soul fulfilment. Where's your North Node? What don't you want to look at?
