Understanding the purpose of a native's life from previous lives

[Guest guest]

Dear Gurus and friends,

 

>From the various bits and pieces of knowledge accumulated from this

group and other sources, I am attempting to understand how to see

the central purpose of someone's life from their previous births in

their chart. Well, to be more precise, I am trying to find my own

purpose in life :-) in various ways, with astrology being one of

them.

 

One angle seems to be D60, which shows the previous birth, which

have obviously shaped this one. There has been some discussion and

some requests on analyzing D60. Dear brother Partha, you and Ramadas

Ji once had this discussion on this group, I remember, but I can't

seem to find any archives. Could you, or another learned member

please teach us this?

 

Another factor seems to be purva punya / paap from the 5th house. (I

am a little surprised that this is the 5th house, and not the 9th or

4th... since one of the indications for 5th is children, and for 9th

is father and 4th mother, wouldn't the 5th seem to indicate your

*future* and not your *past*?). My 5th is Scorpio, with Mars in it,

which seems a little scary :-) with all that fiery energy, however

since I am of Cancer Lagna, this also creates a rajayoga, so it

seems like a blessing.

 

Yet another factor is the mysterious retrograde planets, that

apparently show deep rooted desires from previous lifetimes. From

what I've read, if a retrograde planet is somehow linked with Lagna,

AL or AK, this indicates the overriding factor that caused the

present birth.

 

Closely tied with this whole subject, at least for me, is the issue

of spiritual growth, as shown in D20, since that somewhat indicates

the future births. My thanks to Partha for his help in this area!

 

Could someone guide me in learning this fascinating subject?

 

Thanks,

Venkatarama
