How to Find Out Who You Were in a Past Life Using Vedic Astrology

Vedic Astrology contains two core elements: karma and past lives. When you are born, your astrological chart is more than just a snapshot in time; it serves as an account of all you have experienced in your spirit’s past twelve life experiences.

Astrologers claim that by examining the planets in one’s astrology chart and their placement within specific houses of existence, they can provide insights into who we were and how we died, as well as to what extent we still have to complete within our current life before we can fully ascend to the next higher plane of existence.

Your Past Is Contained within Three Specific Houses

Historically, the most fundamental tenets of Vedic Astrology contain two aspects of life through which we have all experienced: past lives and karma; the reason Vedic Astrology uses one’s natal chart as an ongoing record of one’s spirit’s experience throughout all of his or her lifetimes.

How to Find Out Who You Were in a Past Life

Three Houses Show You What To See In Your Past Lives

There are three out of twelve houses in a natal chart that represent reincarnation because they all show us what we did in our past lives.

Fifth House:
The Fifth House represents all the good acts you did in previous lifetimes and the happiness and wisdom you received from doing those good acts. In this house, any planet that is located there will show what you did accurately.

Ninth House: The Ninth House represents our fate from our prior lifetime and how we contributed to our spiritual life as well as to our dharma and our destiny for our current lifetime.

Twelfth House: The Twelfth House represents the end of our last lifetime; how we passed from that life into this lifetime.

The planets that help define and create the karmic stories you will live in this lifetime.

Ketu, the indicator of your past lives, is where you have already gained the skills necessary to become a part of this world; thus, your feelings of being detached or uninterested in the things in this lifetime connected to Ketu are based on your own past experience.

Rahu, on the other hand, is the opposite of Ketu; it defines what you are meant to achieve in your current lifetime - what you are being called back to do and fulfill. You can expect feelings of obsession, drive, and restlessness regarding those things.

In relation to karma, Saturn is the financial accountant; it displays what your unresolved debts and issues from past lives are, and how you will need to address them - generally speaking, the hard way.

What does your astrology chart indicate?

Where did your soul originate? If either Jupiter or the Moon is well-positioned in the 12th house, then it is considered traditional to indicate that your soul has come from an elevated level of consciousness; therefore, you would have an innate inclination toward spirituality or moral purity.

If Saturn, Rahu, or Mars are the planets occupying the 12th house, your soul has been delivered from a more difficult plane of existence than your present one and is returning to resolve seriously negative karma.

Retrograde planets hold significant impacts within a chart. If one of your planets is retrograde, such as Mars, Mercury, or Jupiter, this represents something that was not completed in a prior life and is now being brought to your attention through this life.

Your past life identity can be found by examining your Navamsha chart, found in Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra, an ancient Vedic text. Individuals with a strong Jupiter in their Navamsha chart are said to have been saints or highly evolved beings in previous lifetimes. A strong influence of the Sun or Mars would indicate that one was a warrior or regional administration; a strong influence of Mercury or Venus would indicate that the individual had trading/merchant experience, writing, or was along the line of artistic creation.

On a deeper level, the addition of the D60 or Shashtyamsa chart allows an individual to uncover more significant karmas related to worth and worthlessness than indicated on the birth chart. According to Maharishi Parashara, the D60 chart is a complete ledger of all credits and debts accumulated in and through past lives.

To begin your charting process, examine where Ketu is located in your chart and find the ruling planet of the 5th house from your Lagna. These two astrology factors will provide insight into who you were prior to becoming you.
