The doctrine of past lives is greatly maintained by numerous instances of unique behavior of individuals especially children. Many of these children are born with and anaptitude to speak a foreign language which no one in the family speaks, or feel anassociation to a place that no one in the family is familiar with. Many such stories are linked to the experience of understanding things they were never educated on or had any association with.It simply means, the effects of past life experiences can carry over into your current life, accounting for interests, habits, even fears which would defy explanation by conventional methods.

In Vedic Astrology, the 12th house is fully involved in deciphering our karmic accounts. This is the last house of a horoscope representing the end or complete dissolution that is individuality is lost and everything returns back to the source. Primarily for worldly consideration, 12th house depicts loss, isolation, seclusion, surrender and renouncing, liberation from material attachments etc.

See the beauty of Vedic Astrology; some highly distressing attributes are also associated with 12th house like hospitalization, isolation, separation, imprisonment, addiction and many more such events of life, which undermines the worldly pleasures. Interestingly, this house is considered an important one from spiritual growth point of view.It is the house of “Moksha” or salvation or attainment of liberation from the cycle of births and deaths, to return to the source where the soul came from, the higher consciousness.

The 12th house sign and planet(s) present in this house displays the whole mystery of our Karmic milieu, as there is a very thin line in deciding whether, one is losing his ego through spiritual practices or through unspiritual methods like addiction to alcohol, drugs, enslaved by other mighty people etc.

The association of past lives in various ascendants:

Aries:

It is Pisces dominant life, meaning thereby, a life full of serious introspection, modesty and possibly a kind of bondage of social norms. So, this life is fresh beginning. Perhaps you lived a life of a mystic, healer, or one in the lower unspiritual end of Pisces energy i.e. addicted to escapism through alcohol or drugs. Now, you feel it is time for a more dynamic life where you are in charge of your emotions instead of them controlling you.

Taurus:

Your past life was dominated by Aries. You are taking the innovative, fiery energy of the past life into creativity in this life. You might have military exposure and expertise. This will compel you to use your creativity and get resounding success in this life. In this life, you will focus on personal comfort and sensual pleasure instead of using power and brilliance of past life.

Gemini:

Your lack of intellectual quest in the past life and emphasizing on beauty of the creativity and rich taste of life will show its impact in this life. Your inability of expressing yourself in the past has given you many vocal and intellectual tools in this life. Your self-indulgence of past will teach you a good lesson in this birth. You will love to write, talk, learn, teach, examine etc. in this life with full mental alertness. Whatever, you will learn in this life, you will be benefited and no emotional issues would be able to destroy your aims and objectives.

Cancer:

If Cancer is your ascendant, Gemini domination was your past life, meaning there by an intellectual with ardent vocal strength. It means you might be a teacher, professor, motivational speaker, counselor, sales person, orator or writer. In this way, you neglected many emotional issues, relationships, family priorities etc. So, in this life, you will work on platforms of emotional attachments, experiencing life in deeper sense, a complete family person.

Leo:

A past life of Cancer dominance sometimes makes it hard to feel contented or feel abundantly loved unless there is a consistent reminder that you are not alone. Cancer energy is singular, while Leo is social. Leo is fire, loving, requiring attention and love to feel whole. It is quite likely that you may give full concentration on yourself. Since it is your earning of past life, so enjoy whatever you deserve for yourself, but never become egoistic at any cost. If your approach in this life would be ego-centric, you might have to pay more in the next life.

Virgo:

You have come from a Leo dominant life giving full attention on your own self. You were the centre of attention in all respects. It is quite possible that many people may have sacrificed their own wishes and interests to support you in your past life. You might have overlooked people who cared about you or took care of you when you were in a Leo dominated life. So, in this life, you will perform your duties responsibly, taking care of others. Karma theory will facilitate gathering of such people who had sacrificed for your convenience, so that you may work for them. Taking care of responsibilities of such people will be main duty of this life.

Libra:

Virgo habits and karma is what you have brought in this life from past. You might have been neglected and not properly appreciated in your past life owing to your humanitarian approach. You will try to balance your life to repair your karmic flaw. You may have to face emotional conflicts in giving and receiving life issues in this life. However, you will be successful in balancing your life in more organized form.

Scorpio:

You were most socially skilled in your past life. You had a lot of wonderful qualities of balancing life with intelligence, charm and solution-oriented approach. With the quality of diplomacy, perhaps you were in legal profession and tried hard to live for justice. So, now you will love to live for your own ambitions and would extend cooperation to others on your terms. However, your selfishness will be of positive kind with deep exploring the mysteries of life.

Sagittarius:

You have come from a Scorpio dominant life where a cool aloofness was just the surface of your complex nature having deep thinking with a sense of expansiveness. Actually, many a times you were misunderstood. You were demanding and a little selfish. So, in present birth you will feel happy in sharing your knowledge instead of keeping it for yourself alone. Now you want to enjoy and experience freedom while having a philosophical perspective of life.

Capricorn:

You were extremely positive in your last birth with endless possibilities. Your independent and free nature was one of your biggest assets, but here in this life you would like to set some norms and discipline in your life. Because, Jupiter is psychic, and that you had keen foresight. That sixth sense was behind many of the decisions you made, and the more you trusted that higher power, the more rewarding your life had. Now, this is a time of serious consideration of letting go the habits of your past life. You are ambitious and go for your dreams and usually end up successful in this life.

Aquarius:

You were a big thinker even though you worked methodically and practically by taking your time to achieve what you set out to do. You only worked on ideas which supported your financial and material security in the future. But in this life with Aquarius lagna, you will explore your unique quality of experiencing new age norms. You are moving out of a life that is dictated by conventionality, rules, and boundaries. You are ready to give back to the world and fly free.

Pisces:

When you lived an Aquarius dominated life, you were a reviving individual, having tremendous amounts of energy. You were determined and forceful in how you dealt with people. You always wanted to express your ground-breaking spirit in everything you did but unfortunately you were not always able to break free of the limits that were imposed upon you.In this life, you are ready to be with others and connect on a heart level. You are ready for the spiritual experience. Whenever you see someone suffering, or in some type of trouble, it touches your heart and you can’t help but offer your assistance. Your heart goes out to them. Even if you’re in a hurry, busy doing something else, you’ll take time out of your busy day to lend a helping hand where you can. It is second nature for you to care.
