astrology and past lives…
MOONINTAURUS-SCORPIO…continued
SUN-MOONCOMBINATIONS
sun in aries… these entities need to develop a sense of identity, to acknowledge their worth as individuals, and learn to believe in themselves before they can fully re-develop the powers remaining in their psyches from prior incarnations. there are deep-rooted insecurities lurking in the subconscious relating to wrongs they committed in past lifetimes, possibly resulting from misuses of their powers. in their current incarnations, though these individuals express the usual “I am” sentiments typical of the arian, at times insecurities can become overwhelming. it is obvious to everyone else, however, that they have keen, clever, insightful minds (scorpio) and at least some degree of talent in finance or the arts (taurus). the insecurities usually show up at an early age, and the parents should consider carefully the child’s need for encouragement and understanding. if problems with self-esteem persist into adulthood, the burden of support will fall on friends. it is important that family and friends convince these people that they are fully capable of using their talents to help themselves, rather than continuously doing them favors. only when they come to believe in their own worth as individuals will they be able to use their power effectively and achieve the necessary taurus-scorpio equilibrium.
sun in taurus… the individual’s powers are chiefly of an artistic and/or material nature, although, if other factors in the chart concur, there can be definite metaphysical and spiritual power as well. if pluto is involved in the configuration in any way, the early life can be fraught with difficulties relating to power and power struggles. if such people discipline themselves to transcend the negative effects of these power struggles, their metaphysical abilities can bloom to an unexpected degree.
in prior lives, these individuals had few financial worries and exercised considerable skill at bettering themselves financially. investments proved sound and in some lives they may have inherited money or married into wealthy families. now there may be a certain weariness with mundane matters such as making a living, and these persons may experience subconscious longings for prior incarnations when material security came easily. however, in order to attain the needed taurus-scorpio balance, they probably will experience poverty at some point and be forced to draw upon their money-making skills - as well as their past-life powers over the material world - in order to establish financial security for themselves. then, and only then, will they be completely free to indulge their compulsions to serve and experience the inner satisfaction that results from serving others.
sun in gemini… this individual’s powers are mainly in the area of communication. such people are good with words, clever at expressing themselves, and possess definite oratory power. compelling and persistent in expressing their viewpoints, they are capable of convincing skeptics of the validity of their ideas - right or wrong - even though they may change their own minds daily. these individuals probably have experienced prior lifetimes when they had the ability and the opportunity to spread their ideas, and others when they had many ideas which they wished to express but were inhibited in some way from doing so.
sun in cancer… this individual is a homebody, maternal and caring in nature, and can be quite intense in their expression of these characteristics. such individuals possess definite powers of leadership and may show an interest in politics, but probably prefer to stay behind the scenes rather than be in the public eye. therefore, they probably would be more comfortable as campaign managers rather than candidates for office. the quiet and home-loving tendencies of cancer are not incompatible with the use of the innate power of the taurus-scorpio axis; using insight and cleverness, a cancerian individual with a moon-taurus-scorpio pattern easily can find ways to remain with their own chosen territory and still be an effective influence in service to others. one way, of course, which comes naturally to the cancerian, is through one’s children.
sun in leo… these individuals have been born aware of their value as human beings and are capable of “shining like the sun.” therefore, they have a definite advantage in using taurus-scorpio powers to serve others and they enjoy doing it immensely. fully prepared to be in the public eye, these people are quite capable of performing before an audience, whether it be in the arts, education or politics. they have great charm and charisma, and often possess such personal magnetism that their presence may be felt in a room even before they are seen. as with the sun in taurus, however, these entities have come from many lifetimes of financial ease. they are full of creative ideas, most of them good ones. however, they lack the inclination to do mundane work to make a living. therefore, their tendency is to seek the financial support of others, motivated both by the laziness of taurus and leo and the desire to spend their time working on their own creative ideas rather than “wasting it” working at mundane jobs.
there may also be a “glitch” in their inner natures. such people may have a preference for unorthodox sexual or romantic practices. this can take the form of strange sexual behavior or a tendency to become involved with partners who are totally unsuitable for them.
sun in virgo… the sun-moon sextile or trine implied by this planetary placement denotes a predominately positive personality type. like the individual with the sun in leo, this person is pleasant and charming, though, of course, considerably more reserved and, like the cancerian, more comfortable remaining behind the scenes. this position combines virgoan diligence with taurian and scorpionic fixity. such individuals are loyal and hardworking, and very careful in performing any tasks. they deal well with people and can be quite tactful and diplomatic. however, they have a tendency to push themselves too hard, and often their health can suffer from overwork; yet they still hesitate to slow their pace. they may make mistakes, but rarely (if ever) make the same mistake twice. hardworking and faithful, they can be counted on not to try to steal the spotlight! also, they rarely reveal secrets.
in prior lives, these individuals found that the best application of their power was subtle, using tact, diplomacy and “casual” suggestion rather than an overt, bombastic manner. they may have been advisors to kings, or other political or military leaders. they may have been secretaries, bookkeepers or other administrative assistants whose opinions were so trusted by their employers that they actually had as much power as the leaders.
in their current lives, these individuals are still comfortable in this role and prefer to continue with it. they need only use the virgoan power of discrimination to find the best niche for satisfying their own particular compulsion to serve.
sun in libra… this individual possesses a great deal of personal charm and magnetism, an easygoing, loving nature, and most likely beautiful manners. such people are most comfortable when around other people and function extremely well in social situations. they feel comfortable in groups and are welcome members of those groups. relationship-oriented and also extremely sensual and sexual by nature, they are considered “good lovers” by their partners. as with all librans, they possess a strong sense of justice and have the power to work toward justice in situations about which they feel strongly. they love art, particularly that which expresses powerful emotions, such as the paintings of van gogh or the music of wagner. their power over others is exercised with libran charm. they are more pragmatic than most librans who believe in the importance of society over the importance of the individual. money is of greater concern to them than it is to most librans and they are more careful with it. as with the cancerian individual, there may be an interest in the military, but the libran motivation is to work toward peace for all rather than “fighting for one’s country.”
in prior incarnations, these individuals probably have been soldiers or diplomats, and have found themselves in situations where the interests of those they represented depended on their own personal charm and magnetism, and where good manners and the ability to use power subtlety, through gentle persuasion rather than overt force were vital. although in current lifetimes there may be temptations to resort to scorpionic domination and excessiveness, for these individuals it is best to make use of power in the gracious manner of the libran.
sun in scorpio… these individuals are powerhouses, possessing personal magnetism to a degree desired and envied by many. their projection is outstanding, and people probably refer again and again to the sheer magnetism in their eyes. they are capable of exerting strong sexual power. equally comfortable operating behind the scenes or in public, their opportunities depend on other chart factors. whether out in front or behind the scenes, however, these individuals can and do utilize a great deal of personal power, and have the capability to accomplish much - for good or evil.
in past incarnations, they have either earned or inherited positions of power, and have had control of sufficient financial resources to accomplish whatever they chose. they knew “where the bodies were buried” so to speak, that is, in the past (and probably in the present as well) they possessed enough cunning and manipulative know-how to discover and use information about people and situations to suit their own ends. they have been (and still are) naturally master psychologists and can deal with people in a most effective manner to attain their objectives. in prior incarnations, however, they probably had a tendency to get carried away with their power and to abuse it. in their current incarnations, these people may again experience this temptation; the best path for them to take is to focus both their power and the compulsion to use it to make the world a better place.
sun in sagittarius… intensity, financial savvy, and the desire to help one’s fellow beings find a natural outlet in the idealism and expansiveness of sagittarius. because of the innate power denoted by the moon-taurus-scorpio configuration, these individuals generally choose to enter such fields as law, religion or higher education. the personal magnetism inherent in taurus-scorpio enables them to exercise strong personal appeal, and the joviality and affability of sagittarius endows them with natural talent for expressing their ideas in an attractive manner.
in prior lives, these individuals have probably been inhibited in expressing their ideas and in using their power; now, it’s “no holds barred.” there is probably little temptation to abuse power because the idealism of sagittarius almost insured that the person’s inclinations will be toward service. however, the sagittarian tendency to become embittered when ideals are stripped away can find an outlet in the more negative scorpionic traits of jealousy, vindictiveness and vengefulness. the individual can circumvent this danger by realizing that ideals are only goals to strive for and that few can be met. if this pitfall is avoided, these sagittarians with moon-taurus-scorpio karmic configurations have the potential to accomplish much toward bettering those they touch.
sun in capricorn… individuals with these aspects in their charts find a focus for their financial savvy, basic common sense and business know-how in the business world. they are comfortable in the public eye. the harmony of the sun-moon sextile or trine can produce a pleasing personality that makes both personal and business relationships easy and beneficial. these people have a certain amount of power, which, although existing on a subtle level as well, may materialize as political power. they may be successful in government or climb to the top of the executive ladder in a major corporation.
in prior lives, these persons were ambitious but had their ambitions frustrated by circumstances beyond their control. perhaps they were born into poverty in a social structure which offered little opportunity for the poor to better themselves; or, perhaps they were born into an appropriate social structure but died young.
in their current incarnations, they find it much easier to pursue their ambitions and rise to the top. however, they must bear in mind that their abilities and opportunities are gifts, and that responsibilities to others come with increased worldly power and gratified ambitions. while the innate coldness of capricorn is, in this configuration, tempered by the warmth of taurus and the passion of scorpio, it can still cause these people at times to think only of themselves. if this pitfall is avoided, they can attain their own personal ambitions and experience the gratification that comes from using power and position to accomplish something positive for the world.
sun in aquarius… the inventive capabilities of this individual are outstanding. there is a subconscious memory of the knowledge of the inner workings of the cosmos remaining from past lives that one need only re-learn and apply to modern technology. interest and talent in the sciences are present and this person could do well in such a career. this individual’s powers are best channeled through the sciences, or possibly through labor union activities or other forms of group activity. insight and intelligence related to the planet uranus (which rules aquarius and is exalted in scorpio) are in the forefront in the current incarnation and serve as an excellent channel for the individual’s innate power.
in past incarnations, these people probably studied science in its more radical form and their theories may have conflicted with the world-views of the time. they may have met with resistance from the scientific establishment and even been persecuted. in those incarnations, they probably lacked the power to convince others more conservative than themselves of the relevancy of their discoveries and ideas. in their current incarnations, the power represented by the moon-taurus-scorpio placement will enable them to prove themselves in ways their prior personalities could not. past life experiences also may have revolved around radical politics. they may have been champions of the people (or followers of such leaders) in a world where power was in the hands of the aristocracy. in either case, these individuals now have the capabilities to present new, innovative ideas - scientific or political - to the public and to work effectively for their acceptance.
sun in pisces… with this configuration, the basic secrecy typical of scorpio and the reclusiveness of pisces combine to bring forth a personality who absolutely refuses to exercise power in a public manner, and who has an almost pathological need to exert power over other from behind the scenes. these individuals do whatever they can to keep their activities and sometimes their very existence secret. they exercise covert power most effectively and produce results which are felt by people in the outside world, but they don’t want anyone to know of their roles in effecting those results. in fact, they derive an almost perverse pleasure from the fact that they are so powerful, yet no one knows about them. this compulsive secrecy appears to stem from lifetimes in which these people exercised a great deal of power, either spiritual or mundane, but eventually came to grief directly or indirectly from the use of that power. in their current lives, they still seek to use their power, but believe they will be much safer if no one knows about them. there is, of course, nothing wrong with this need for secrecy so long as this desire does not lead to activities that are detrimental to others.
