Node in Aquarius
You had a history of being an individualist. One of your key impulses
was experimenting with new ideas. Your soul was normally exhilarated
about reincarnating, anticipating the surprises with enthusiasm. The
archetypal theme for your destiny was to be an innovator. A crucial
lesson was to avoid being different just to be different. Maintaining a
clear sense of direction with purposeful actions was a better way to
conduct business. Keeping a detached mental objectivity helped you
clarify your decisions. When you let your heart speak rather than your
intellect, people found you more approachable. Toning down your
aloofness in favor of becoming more personal helped you make important
social connections. A trickster was looking for too much attention,
searching desperately for acceptance. It led to great uncertainty, and
letting others dictate too much of the action. Then again, you could go
to the other extreme, becoming too overpowering and demanding. Finding
a way to balance being a free spirit and fitting into someone else's
kingdom was a key to stability. You needed to be your own person,
choosing to reinvent yourself now and then. Electricity was ignited
when venturing out beyond your comfort zones and testing the waters
that pointed to new creative directions. Also, when you fell in love
with a person or other heartfelt pursuits, the magic took over.

What types of activities did you participate in that furthered your
soul growth? Delving into the mysteries of life with a detective-like
presence was a preoccupation. You weren't afraid to walk along the
narrow ledges, if that's where the intensity could be found. If you
became too bogged down in hoarding what you saved, life had a way of
disrupting your pleasure. A common concern was "how can I reach full
empowerment?" When you followed your passion to achieve wealth or
dynamic relationships with common sense you managed to stay out of
karma's way. What sorts of experiences motivated you? There was being a
shrewd businessperson. Negotiation savvy adorned you. Plumbing to the
depths of your main interests came naturally. Even mysticism called to
you. Your energy levels peaked when finding either the lover or
profession of your most cherished dream .If you became too possessive
or jealous, you created more trouble than it was worth. When you
assumed the appropriate power it kept you on track as much as
compulsively overpowering others caused endless trouble. Somewhere
always hiding in the caverns of your memory banks was a survival
instinct mixed with a tinge of a longing to keep life very simple. When
using this wisely and pragmatically, life was colored with a rich array
of abundant experiences.
Here
is some text dealing with the "Creativity, Ego, Self-expression".
Sun in Taurus:
The sign of Taurus the bull lighted the mid spring astrological skies
at your birth into this life. Let's explore what significance this had
in regard to your past lives. In traditional astrology the keyword
phrase for Taurus is "I desire". Another one is "I have". You had a
pattern related to ownership and strong drives to taste what the world
was serving. Archetypes for Taurus include the peacemaker, nature lover
and economizer. More than likely you had a healthy fear of poverty.
This drove you in past lives to steadily develop knowledge that was
marketable. A pragmatic attitude usually surfaced in key areas of your
lives. Sooner or later you realized the value of stability. It's when
you grew too attached to having particular outcomes that life got murky.
The cosmic principle at work through many of your past incarnations was
to depend heavily on what you could see and touch. You found ego
strength or self-confidence through imposing your will power on what
you wanted. Appreciating beauty in all of its forms was a way of life.
A steady determination defined you. Sometimes in past lives you became
inert. This was due to either dulled senses, or events knocked the wind
out of you. A test was deepening your intuitive eye. Chances are you
were successful in business. You came into this life solarized through
a sign promoting persistence. An intense tendency to have things on
your own terms was a theme that ran throughout your incarnations and
was a key to your self-mastery. It was when you put forth a dynamo of
creative enthusiasm that this energy was a true champion!
Sun in 5th House:
You had solar power that soared through you with great force in
previous lives. Being in the spotlight was what you desired. Your ego
got bruised easily if not receiving enough attention. You were as
dramatic as you were fiery. A drive to promote came as naturally as
snow falling on top of the Rocky Mountains in mid winter. Your creative
vitality was ready to reload on a moment's notice. Being in love did
arouse your energy. Being a follower wasn't as easy as striving to be a
leader. You needed lots of elbowroom to work. A take control type you
were. You were extremely proud of your creations. Getting too attached
to offspring or creations happened regularly. Directing others to be
successful was part of your history.
If there was a challenge it was in two separate camps. One was being
too bossy. The other was a lack of confidence. In most lives you
vacillated between the two. When you found the right roles, look out!
You were ready to shoot a full throttle to make up for lost time. The
actor and director lived brightly through you. When you moved with
self-assuredness, others were ready to follow. However, if you took too
big of a risk or showed great arrogance, you sometimes looked back and
realized you were alone. Your self-expression burst onto the scene
loudly when your ability was recognized. You only needed to fall in
love with what you liked doing to ensure the wealth you desired. Taking
chances defined you. The world responded positively when you moved
without infringing on the rights of others, but with no applause when
you ignored those you loved. You found fulfillment in being a hero for
those believing in you, and in sharing your gifts with those
appreciating them.
