Karma is another word for destiny, fate or situations that are meant to happen in this lifetime, cause-and-effect is another possible interpretation of Karma. So be aware of your behaviour as it always has consequences and be careful what you ask for because you just might get it! We bring Karma into our current lives from past lives and previous incarnations. We have certain lessons that we need to complete and learn from, hence Karma. A soul’s journey through a lifetime is one of trying to achieve a state of perfection, we have to experience all our Karmic lessons before this can be achieved. Karmic Astrology takes on many different forms.
The Moon’s Nodes is the most commonly used method in Karmic Astrology as this enables the astrologer to explain to their client the lessons they have come here to undertake in this lifetime. People come into this incarnation with past life knowledge and experience. They are trying to leave behind the shackles of past incarnations and progress towards new karmic lessons, which are to be aspired to in this incarnation, as well as obtain the knowledge needed for future lifetimes.
This type of astrology can be very hard-hitting and it can explain to us why we keep making the same mistakes. We will need to go over the lessons numerous times until we become free from our past habits and ways of learning. When we start to shed the past life lessons we will become more confident about making revolutionary changes in our current life. This can sometimes be unnerving because we have no such past life experiences to call upon. On the positive side this can be very rewarding as we forge ahead on a new and exciting journey in this lifetime. There will be surprises and unexpected twists and turns which will actually assist us in building our character and help us in our quest for perfection of the soul.
