9 Ways to Find Past Life Connections Through Astrology

Recently, I was asked how to identify past life connections using astrology. Setting aside the arguments over the validity of reincarnation and the accuracy with which astrology can show past life connection, let’s entertain the thought that reincarnation happens and connections between two people’s natal charts may be read from the stance of those two people having known each other in a past life. Haters and skeptics, move on — there is nothing here for you. Astrology lovers and spiritual seekers, read on.

When a client presents me with birth data of a person they would like me to compare to their own natal chart, they sometimes say things that indicate they either believe in reincarnation, or sense that they already “know” the person, somehow. Sometimes that “I already know you” feeling can be simple resonance between charts, such as personal planets being in same signs, or shared aspect patterns or planetary conjunctions; for example, a person with natal moon conjunct Saturn may feel a sense of belonging with another moon conjunct Saturn person, even if they have moon and Saturn in different signs. Two people both with a Grand Trine in their natal charts may be in harmony because they sense that “sameness”. Two Bowl pattern chart type people can feel like they have found their “other half” if each person’s planets occupy the other person’s empty side of the natal chart. But these things are not, in my opinion, past life indicators.

Before I list the past life indicators I look for, here is a list of some of the questions clients ask or comments they make that prompts me to look for past life connections. I do not hear these same questions or statements when I find none of the indicators on my “past life” list, which leads me to think along the lines of “If this, then that”. Does this mean two people who feel they have a past life connection, although their chart comparison has none of the indicators I look for, did not have a past life together? Absolutely not, because astrology does not deal in absolutes. I can’t “prove” anything; however, when the possible story of the past is read by the position of planets and the aspects between two people, things often make sense or a person asking for astrological advice can use the information to better navigate the relationship.
