You don't actually have to believe in reincarnation to enjoy pondering who or what you might have been in a past life – and how it affects your karma in this one.
We all have karma. But in India – where the word comes from – your karma was not thought of as either good or bad... it's just "what is." You can think of it as the destiny potential you've inherited from past actions and experiences – in this lifetime and those that may have come before.
Your astrological birth chart is a great launching pad for past life explorations... as well as for gaining insight about this one. It can speak volumes about your soul's inheritance. Don't believe us? Check out what the astrological sages say about the celebrity newsmakers below. If the planets are so smart about them... imagine what they say about you!

Born January 29th, 1954 in Kosciuslo, MS at 4:30am
Moon in Sagittarius: Through your past incarnations you have developed a deeply ingrained philosophical attitude to any problems or challenges you face, and you fall back on your religious beliefs or spiritual faith in hard times. It is likely that you were a spiritual aspirant seeking truth and wisdom, and this quest continues in this lifetime as well... Instinctively open and emotionally generous, you do not like to exclude anybody, and can feel as much sympathy, closeness and family feeling with your friends as with blood relatives.
Sun Conjunct Venus: A significant part of your soul purpose is to create more harmony, love and beauty in the world, as well as to deeply appreciate and savor its sweetness.
Sagittarius Rising and Jupiter in Gemini: Your Jupiter in Gemini suggests that your role is to be a messenger, which will involve educating, spreading ideas or information, communicating, or facilitating communications between others.
Saturn in the 10th House: How you handle power and authority is a major karmic question for you in this lifetime.

Born June 4th, 1975 in Los Angeles, CA at 9:09am
Moon in Aries: You may have lived many lifetimes in the military or in rather primitive circumstances in which you basically had to depend on yourself to hack out an existence, perhaps as a pioneer or explorer. These experiences enabled you to develop a deep sense of inner self-reliance and independence as well as a residual, underlying sense of "I'm all I've got," a feeling of singularity and aloneness that continues to influence your behavior and your choices.
Sun Sesquiquadrate Uranus: In many ways you "dance to the beat of a different drummer," and thus may feel out of step with the "norms" and societal expectations of the majority of mainstream culture... You are intended to question authority, break old rules, and introduce progressive change into the world... Certainly there are people who would consider you too "far-out," and you may enjoy provoking these people, shocking them, shaking up their limited world-view.
Cancer Rising: You carry the qualities of and in some way embody the archetype of the mother. You will find that you attract people who need care, understanding and encouragement.

Born June 14th, 1946 in Queens, NY at 9:51am
Moon in Sagittarius: Friendship and fellowship is very important to you. You may seek to fulfill the urge for an expansive family feeling by welcoming a lot of parties... affiliating yourself with a sports team, or in other ways.
Moon Opposite Uranus: In your incarnational past there was a great deal of upheaval and sudden change, possibly precipitated by political or social shifts... The carry over from that time into the present is a peculiar, emotional excitability and a highly restless emotional state which at times can lead to extreme nervous strain and exhaustion... You fear being trapped in monotony and boredom if you commit yourself to a permanent relationship. Any long-term relationship you form must have a lot of personal space and room to change and be spontaneous.
Leo Rising: Everything you do is done with pride, creativity and a sense of your own uniqueness... You want to "out-do" everybody else... Your very presence dominates the scene in ways that more subtle, quiet individuals find intrusive.
Jupiter Trine Uranus: Through your openness, optimism, enthusiasm for adventure or new ideas, and your willingness to go out on a limb and do something unusual or risky, blessings flow into your life... You also have a fortuitous sense of timing, and what others may see as your "good luck" is at least partly your knowing when to say yes to an opportunity.

Born August 14th, 1966 in Cleveland, OH at 12:00pm
Moon in Cancer: You instinctively respond to stress by retreating, withdrawing to protect yourself, or if at all possible, by avoiding the trouble altogether... A strong home base is vital to your sense of security, well being and ability to function smoothly in other areas of your life.
Moon Conjunct Venus: Regardless of any traumas you may have experienced in the past, you were also surrounded with a lot of love and affection, which had engendered in you a very kind, devoted, loving nature and a sweet disposition.
Sun in Leo: Your path of soul development in this lifetime revolves around developing your awareness of yourself as a distinct, unique individual... Unless you are acting from your own heart, from your own core, you are not fulfilling your destiny. Thus, you will resist imitating and being dictated to by others, for your task is to find your own inner light and radiate it.
Venus Trine Saturn: Deeply felt loyalty, faithfulness, and commitment in love and in friendship are soul-qualities with which you are gifted. You value that which lasts and endures, and are not prone to be consumed with frivolous or superficial values.

Born September 18th, 1971 in Plano TX at 12:00pm
Moon in Virgo: In your incarnational past you devoted your life to serving other people and you were strongly influenced by the puritan work/guilt ethic... Another series of past lifetimes which may presently influence you involved being a doctor, nurse, or healer. This carries over a strong interest in health, the science of nutrition and natural methods of healing, or choosing medicine or another of the helping professions as a career.
Moon Quincunx Mars: Your instinct to take aggressive action, to take on challenges and to fight, has deep roots, and in terms of your current life circumstances it may well work both for and against you... You do have an independent, energetic, spirited approach to life, a passion for doing and achieving... You have a tendency to burn out because you do not moderate yourself.
Sun Conjunct Pluto: You have extreme passion for life, an intensity and drive to "go all the way", to taste the fullness of any experience, which may be called extreme or compulsive... Bringing the truth out of the shadows is what your life is about, and you will confront the darker, nastier, unredeemed side of people (and yourself) on your journey.
Jupiter Conjunct Neptune: You are a visionary, a philanthropist, and an idealist whose imagination knows no bounds. You believe in miracles, in the reality of the intangible realms, and you KNOW that nothing is impossible.
