What is a Past Life Reading?

A Past Life Reading is a combination intuitive and astrology reading that will help you gain a better understanding of who you are so that you can maximize your potential and natural abilities to the utmost of your ability. Real growth comes from understanding and transforming behavior patterns so that you can challenge yourself to develop in new and exciting ways based upon a knowledge of your past lives.

Your past life reading will also include an examination of the north and south nodes of the moon in your birth chart. The moon in your chart relates to your feelings, moods, and emotional body. It is one of the most important influences in your birth chart from a karmic/past life perspective and will help you understand your karmic mission for this lifetime based upon your past lives.

A Sample Past Life Reading for Tiffany

*excerpted with kind permission from Tiffany

“Hi Kathy, what an incredible experience this was!! This far surpassed my expectations. Some of the advice in this was incredible. I have had other past life Readings from Etsy and this was by far the best one that I have found. I am going to print this out and put it in my journal to read again and again in the years to come. I will leave you incredible feedback that this was wonderful. Thank you very much! Love and light, Tiffany.”

Tiffany’s Reading:

I will begin your past life reading by taking a look at two of your past lives based upon a psychic/soul reading of your past life energy.

Lifetime 1

The first image I receive is of a beautiful, willowey, blonde bombshell by the name of Ramona Randolph (a made-up name) who is up to all kinds of trouble; a temptress and a tease who laments, “I could have been a 1940’s pinup girl.” You also loved the color, apple green.

You were so used to making up stories about your past that it was hard to know what was true and what wasn’t; even for yourself. It was as if you had blotted everything else out.

Laughingly you say, “When I’m old and wise, I may tell!”

I get a glimpse of your earlier life and see a dirt-poor existence, a ranch, and many children, plus a still for making grain alcohol.  You got out as fast as you could. “I didn’t need them” you say, referring to “ma and pa” and the dirty rugrats.  It appears as though the time period is 1920’s-40’s.

“I sent them money, but I was free of that life, poverty…hell. I wanted something better”.

I can’t tell you where this took place exactly, but it was in rural USA and it could be Illinois or the Appalachians;  it was hot in winter and cold in the summer.

“I’m not sorry I left ‘cause I can do better,” you say.

And you did, you clawed your way up from ‘night-work’ to hostess to secretary (albeit a very sexy one) where you garnered much male attention.

There was a beau by the name of Ralph, but he couldn’t keep up (financially) and fell behind (as if it was a race, a competition).

In the end, you got rid of them all but your boss (I get the name “Hilary”). He was a private man, svelte, imposing, very shielded (his energy), always in dark, imposing suits, with dark hair; closed off energy. But he accepted you and this empowered you; your confidence in yourself grew until you were able to help run the company (manufacturer of gadgets/fasteners for women’s clothing) in Chicago, with offices in New York.

You became more business-like, adopted dark, close-fitting, pin striped suits and dark heels. You had a nose for making money, clinching deals.

You didn’t have time for children.

You forgot your past and reveled in your present. You were secure (and also a proud owner of a big, fluffy, white cat!)

When you became too old to run the company, you bequeathed it to a promising young man who working within the company and you let him take it over.

You enjoyed old age and bought a stately country home in the South (plantation-like).

Sometimes you thought about your family and your past, but you knew it was too late to go back. This saddened you (on your deathbed, from old age), but the hand who held yours in the end was the hand of your beloved and that was enough.

Life Lessons

Sometimes nothing is ever enough, you thought, but in the end you died a contented woman, with few misgivings, although you knew, in your soul that you would be returning to make things right with your family.

Fairy Herbal Card Guidance: A message from Ramona to you:

I pull a Fairy Herbal Healing card from my deck for insight with this and she is called Juniper.

The message is: Don’t ever give up because you’ve got what it takes to be anything and do anything. Perhaps your path will be gentler than mine. Do take care, I love you.

Juniper is a protective herb of the Sun.  It is associated with the base chakra where the kundalini, or serpent power, lies dormant.  Juniper helps those who are blocked on the physical plane, generally earth types.  It is also useful for those who are looking for a more spiritual way of life, who want to embrace fire.  Juniper allows a person to be more detached emotionally and to move on from obsessions or resentments, from anger and violence.  Being fiery, juniper can also help to ‘dry out’ water types, who become lost in a sea of emotion and are unable to act or initiate.  Fire provides focus and direction.  It energizes the will and gives courage, something that watery types sometimes lack.

You can work with Juniper incense or burn juniper berries over charcoal at the new and full moons.  As you work with Juniper, allow yourself to become inspired and encouraged by your own spiritual fire.

Other Lifetimes I accessed briefly:

• ­Sharecroppers: a hard, scrabbling existence.
• A bowing waiter/servant and these words repeated: “best practice”.
• Hunter/gatherer times: a small brown boy in a loin cloth, at home in the overgrown landscape/jungle?
• A very proper lady all in frills and ruffles, well-to-do (Jasmina).

Lifetime 2

The first image I receive is of a cruel, sharp wretch, kicking a pet and then I see you; scrabbling like a poor rabbit into some rags in a corner.

After enduring this childhood I see you emerge; a tall, very pale, slim lad in a dark, poor-fitting suit – a scholar at heart!

You escape from this life in a gypsy wagon to the nearest busy town center and your first job is as an apprentice to a hat maker (men’s hats).

You love the city and especially the cemeteries; the big old stones, the names on the tombs; as you learn to read.

Your name sounds like Pierre.  You are quick and slim with a soft spot for travelling performers who you give coins to.

You meet a young lady that you like who has long, straight, dirty-blonde hair. She is polite, but obviously looks down on you. She is well-dressed (somewhat), but not rich.

So you start learning poetry and writing it; it flows out of you and makes you happy.

You never do connect with this young lady, but through her you discover poetry.

Your master opens a fine men’s shop and you are busier than ever. It appears to be the 1850’s in Paris.

Unfortunately you suffer an untimely death from a street cart that runs you over.  You were 23 and your head was in the clouds. You were a dreamer and a romantic at heart. Your death was quick so that is some small consolation.

Creative Soul Card Guidance ~ A message from Pierre to you:

The card I pull is called Nambia ~ pleasantly present.

The message (or poem) is: “Be still and dream…catch up, catch up…your soul cries out…meet me half way, tend me, and I will grow and shower you with blossoms, my sweet, sweet friend.”

Life Lessons

This was a very hard life to begin with, but you made the best of it and dragged yourself out of the muck once again, so to speak. You discovered beauty within the ugliness around you and this sustained you. You never knew love, but you knew hard work and how to make a living and feed your soul. Well done, but sad too.

Tiffany, to end this part of the reading I bless and surround you with the finer things in life; love, beauty and roses.

Part 2 – An Astrological Analysis of the Nodes of the Moon in your Natal (Birth) Chart

Your Karmic Mission based upon past lives – Why are you here? (The Nodes of the Moon)

In astrology, the Moon rules our feelings, our moods, and our emotional bodies.  It is the most important planet in our chart from a karmic/past life perspective.  An analysis of the North and South Nodes of the Moon will help you better understand your Karmic Mission for this lifetime based upon your past lives.

 Your North Node is in Gemini in the 6^th House (Virgo House) – Your present life.

Your South Node is in Sagittarius in the 12^th House (Pisces House) – Your past lives.

 NORTH NODE IN GEMINI/SOUTH NODE IN SAGITTARIUS

 Attributes to develop:

(Work in these areas can help uncover hidden gifts and talents)

• - Healthy curiosity
• - Asking questions to learn how others think
• - Seeing both sides of a situation
• - Tact
• - A positive approach to life and other people
• - Purposely cheering others up

Tendencies to leave behind:

(Working to reduce the influence of these tendencies can help make life easier and more enjoyable)

• - Self-righteousness
• - Thinking one knows what others are saying without really listening
• - Needing to be right
• - Careless spontaneity
• - Resisting ideas that are foreign to one’s belief system

There is a need for you to release any kind of preoccupation you may have with the absolute Truth.  What’s important is learning how to relate to people as they are, listening to them, and learning from them.  What you really want is to be completely free to pursue Truth, have adventures, be spontaneous and be right 100 percent of the time.  You want to speak completely from your Truth and your intuitive process and to have everyone understand you, learn from you, and appreciate your help.  To attain this goal you must stop focusing on “your Truth” and begin to focus on the people around you. You have the ability (when you listen) to tune in to the specific thought processes of others and supply information that allows others to view problems from an expanded perspective.  Selling, writing, teaching and communicating in all forms can bring you happiness as well as prosperity.  You will also have gifts in the areas of philosophy and religion and an innate awareness of ethics and morality.  You can use your spiritual and intuitive awareness to understand the thinking of others.  However, if you involve yourself professionally in the pursuit of Truth or religion as a final aim, you may ultimately feel isolated.  You are better off when you use your natural talents to deeply connect with others on a day-to-day basis.

This lifetime is all about bringing your vision into reality.  You must express that vision in a way that the world understands and when the world does ‘get it’ you must accept respect for your success.  You need to stay on track and leave behind insecurity, taking shortcuts, aloofness, and a sense of isolation.  Your South Node in Sagittarius (opposite sign of Gemini) means you spent many lifetimes pursuing Truth on your own – as a wandering nomad in the desert, as a hermit, nun, priest, philosopher or monk.  Because you sought Truth, spirituality, ethics and enlightenment above all else, you neglected society and human relationships. Due to the isolation and loneliness of your past lives you may have a hard time communicating with others in this lifetime. The challenge in this lifetime is learning to value communication as a vehicle for curiosity as well as welcoming input from others.  Sometimes you may appear combative to others, and they will resist you.  There is a need for you to recognize that it is your presentation they are resisting and not necessarily your point of view. The real challenge in this lifetime is rejoining society so that you can learn how best to connect with others and share your Truth.

Healing Affirmations:

• “This is a people oriented lifetime.”
• “When I am willing to listen, tune in and connect with others I win.”
• “When I tune in to how others think, I know what to say.”
• “If I don’t understand, it’s okay to ask questions.”

NORTH NODE IN THE 6^TH HOUSE – THE VIRGO HOUSE (South Node in the 12^th House – the Pisces House):

Attributes to develop:

(Work in these areas can help uncover hidden gifts and talents)

• - Participation
• - Bringing order to chaos
• - Creating routines
• - Focusing on the here and now
• - Being of service to others
• - Taking risks in spite of fears
• - Noticing and valuing details

Tendencies to leave behind:

(Working to reduce the influence of these tendencies can help make life easier and more enjoyable)

• - Being a victim (or having victim consciousness)
• - Confusion and disorientation
  - Avoidance of planning
• - Escapist/addictive tendencies
• - Over-sensitivity
  - Self-doubt
• - Withdrawal
• - Giving up

Your Achilles’ heel is victim consciousness, but it’s a bottomless pit because others can never give you enough reassurance to overcome your inner sense of helplessness and paranoia.  It is only when you look within that you can discover the outer structures you need to create in order to give yourself strength and power.  The trap to avoid is an unending search for a savior or mentor whom you can blindly trust and surrender to.

What you really want is to be lost in the security blanket of your own personal connection with the universe. You may have an insatiable need to experience peace and oneness, but to successfully attain this goal, it is necessary to go into the world and be of service to others.

Past lives were spent attuning yourself with the spiritual dimension of life, making you quite sensitive and easily wounded this time around.  You may have spent time in convents and prisons, or lost in meditation, immersed in music, poetry or art. You may have been taken advantage of in past lifetimes and feel that subconsciously in this lifetime, that there is something ‘impure’ about accumulating money.

You would make an excellent doctor, nurse, healer or organizer.  You may also have talents with poetry, music, and art and in your current lifetime you can work with these talents to connect yourself with lofty emotional states. You have had many ethereal experiences in past lives and gave up bits and pieces of your own identity in order to merge with a higher energy. But you have completed that process; allowing yourself to dissolve any further in this lifetime is counterproductive. Now it is time to manifest your vision in the physical world.

Whatever keeps you focused in the moment becomes a labor of love for you. Your job can have that effect on you; if not, you should reconsider your line of work. You excel at and are very happy with anything that requires paying attention to details in order to produce successful results.

There may be tendencies to lapse into a confused state of consciousness, of doubting and questioning yourself, but this can be fixed by refocusing on circumstances in the outer world that triggered the confusion and then re-entering the situation and restoring it to order.

In past lives you gained a lot of understanding and love that you wanted to share, and in this lifetime you need to focus, participate and make your wisdom available to others.  You are learning how to translate love into service – and how to reconnect with the feeling of boundless love and compassion within yourself.

Healing Affirmations

• - “This is not a victim lifetime.”
• - “When I focus and have a plan, the whole universe opens the pathways to success.”
• - “I’m the only person who can put this situation in order, so I might as well do it.”

 Sending you many Sparkly Blessings Tiffany!
