Happy Astrological New Year! The Sun will move into Aries on Tuesday, making the start of the astrological new year and a brand new season. Creative, assertive and at times, aggressive, Aries is the sign of the warrior, as well as the symbol of rebirth. As we move into a new phase for the next four weeks, everything will take on a new energy and look, reminding us that life is always renewing itself! We may get off to a bit of a slow start, what with the Moon traveling through Cancer Monday and Tuesday, but don't worry, once the Moon charges into Leo on Wednesday, the fire energy abounds! Mars will move into Pisces on Friday, which can be a difficult sign for the planet of action, calling for us to go internal to create the outer movement we are seeking. Friday and Saturday's Virgo Moon could spur us into a major "spring cleaning" frenzy, and keeping the focus on physical movement will keep us from getting stuck in our heads for a few days. However, once the Moon moves into Libra on Sunday, we'll be all about communication, research and socializing!

Top 10 Signs You’re Experiencing a Spontaneous Past Life Memory, by Shelley A. Kaehr, PhD

(Article originally published in The Llewellyn Journal.)

Energy from our past lives smacks us in the face to see if we're paying attention. I know, because a ton of weird things have happened to me over the years, and when I realized this happens to just about everyone I meet, I identified a phenomenon called Supretrovie: a spontaneously induced past life memory. The challenge with Supretrovie is that people are largely unaware when it's happening. Here are a few signs that Supretrovie may be happening to you:

1. Travel: You're traveling out of town and you arrive at a "new" place and have a familiar feeling of times long gone. You may recognize streets or buildings, you may even know your way around without a map or directions. The familiarity may make you feel euphoric or a little dizzy, or you may find the feeling overpowering in an unpleasant way.
2. Past Images & Sounds Fill Your Mind: You're standing in this "new" place and all of a sudden, the current surroundings fade away and you find yourself seeing a movie in your mind where modern buildings and streets vanish or are replaced by the things you used to find familiar hundreds, if not thousands of years ago. You may also hear sounds that seem to come from a higher plane of reality—bombs, horses or any other noises that are not part of the contemporary environment.
3. Museum Visits: You visit a museum specifically to see a world-class exhibition that's touring your city. You absolutely cannot wait to see these items, yet when you do, you become suddenly overcome with emotion and have to excuse yourself to avoid embarrassment. Determined to go on, you go back inside and happen upon a compelling display that makes you feel dizzy, enamored, or even nauseous. The item compels you closer, and once you get within a few feet away, you become overheated or woozy.
4. Antique Store Surprises: You're out shopping with your BFFs and wander into a huge antique mall. Once you hit the jewelry counter, you begin coveting that gorgeous antique ring when suddenly you recall you've had one of those before with a similar setting. Your mind dashes back through your current life, but you soon realize what you're recalling happened a long, long time ago.
5. Gemstone Obsession: You're drawn to certain gems and stones. When you hold one of them, you have feelings of euphoria. You pick up another stone and suddenly sense a burning sensation rushing through your fingers. You toss it aside, wondering what happened, but then you forget all about it.
6. Historical Programming: You're flipping through the channels or browsing around on YouTube when suddenly you're stuck. Hours pass by as you watch one video after another about a place you'd never even heard of before. You may get a tingly feeling in your forehead as you watch in wonder and daydream of visiting there one day.
7. Overstaying Your Welcome: You're on a trip to a new place and after twenty four hours, you have an overwhelming urge to pack your bags and move there—for good. Common sense returns eventually…or not. If not, you go home, pack, rent your U-Haul, and prepare for adventure.
8. Understaying Your Welcome: You're planning that two-week vacation, but now that you've arrived to what you thought would surely be your dream destination, you soon realize that this place is uninhabitable, horrible, disgusting. You cannot understand why the travel agent lied to you and what everybody thinks is so awesome about the place. You absolutely hate it, and you won't stay another minute. It's all you can do to keep from running kicking and screaming down the street and hopping the next flight home. Forget what the change fees may cost. Unless you or your companions can somehow calm you down, you're outta here!
9. Love at First Sight You met someone new at a coffee shop over the weekend for your first date. A few days later, you're making plans to move in together. There's something about this person that you can't live without.
10. Hate at First Sight: You love your job and plan to be there for years to come. At least that's what you thought until your boss assigned you to a new work partner who is going to help you complete a project. The moment you meet, you tell yourself there's absolutely no way you two can work together. Even though the assignment only lasts a few days, you go home and update your resume.

So, how did you do? Did any of these scenarios sound at all familiar? Many are common, everyday occurrences, right? And yet, what if there was more to these simple obsessions or annoyances than first meets the eye? Although I work as a past life regressionist, it took me quite a while to finally come to the awareness that many of my weird experiences had roots in my past lives. You'd have thought I would have figured that out fairly quickly, but these memories are so deep, it's hard to get a handle on them.

I discovered firsthand that a past life regression is not always needed to find out who you were in the past or where you lived, but the process can also help you heal from issues carried over from former incarnations.

Once I began interviewing people, I proved that situations like our Top Ten list above happens to just about everybody alive. Since then, I've made it my mission to alert people of this fact so that they may find greater peace and relief from what I call unwanted influences.

In my latest book, Blast from the Past: Healing Spontaneous Past Life Memories, I share easy-to-do exercises to help you get in touch with your own Supretrovie experiences and make peace with the past. You'll learn how to heal from overwhelming experiences with objects, people, or places and take guided past life regression journeys to uncover situations most in need of healing. I hope you'll reach out and let me know about your own Supretrovie experiences. It's always fascinating to hear your stories! Until then, I wish you peace and joy on your path, now and always.

I've been Buddhist for 25 years, and chant on a regular basis. I believe this is the philosophy that is most accurate in regards to our place in the universe and our responsibility in all things seen and unseen. Having said that, I've just broken up with a man I love. He actually did in some ways become my honzon (object of worship). I didn't worship him, but I did try very hard and put up with lots of stuff for the sake of making our relationship work. Well, it didn't. He's gone. It's painful, but not unbearable. After he left, my plants all started to grow and bloom! On the day he left, I was walking in midtown Manhattan, and I saw a nun dressed in a white habit. Five days later, in another part of Manhattan, I saw this same nun going into the building I was going into for a party. I told her that I'd seen her earlier that week, and she asked me where. I told her and she confirmed that it was her I'd seen. During that whole week I must have seen at least five sets of twins or encountered twins in some unusual way. I just kept running into twins. There seemed to be some kind of synchronicity at play. What do twins and nuns in white have to do with anything? Who knows? Perhaps you do!. Thanks for your attention. I really enjoy your column.

Constance

Dreamchaser:

I'm glad you've found a belief system that works for you. I know quite a few people who are very grounded in their Buddhist faith.

As a Buddhist, I'm sure you've heard of the Twin-Snake energy. I believe the twins you have been seeing all over New York City symbolize that same Twin-Snake. Other people might call this Kundalini Energy.

Kundalini literally means "coiling." The energy moves in a spiraling motion, like coils on a snake. It starts at the base of our spine and runs up into our heads. We should be very careful about releasing it too quickly, for that literally can make us sick.

Here are a few results of opening up your Kundalini:

*You activate your DNA.
*You open up to your clairvoyant abilities.
*You feel connected to the ONENESS of the Universe.
*Your mind feels expanded and starts to search for higher awareness and knowledge.
*You allow your ego to step aside and start to connect with a higher frequency of consciousness.
*You more often feel unconditional love, peace and a connection with Spirit and All That Is.

As you can see, those things have already started to happen in your life. For example, I'm sure you saw the nun two times because you are connected with All That Is. That was a manifestation of your own energy.

The fact that she was wearing white is significant. White has always signified truth, purity, innocence and PEACE. Now that this man is out of your life, you are seeking and finding PEACE. The color white was a clear sign from Spirit just for you.

Your plants growing and blooming illustrate how YOUR energy field and the energies in your house are clearing. His being gone is a good thing. Now everything in your house can grow and bloom - including YOU and your dreams.

If you watch them, your plants will show you how you can be happy about this change in circumstances. Some people can clog up our energies and stop us from growing and evolving. He was doing that to you - and your plants!

I know you miss him from time to time, but be thankful for the blessings you shared and the lessons you learned. Then set your sights on someone new - if that's what you want.

It's a Universal Law that we'll get something better than we had before if we are evolving and opening to it ourselves. If you continue to ask the Universe for more and better, that's what you'll get.

I wish you continued healing and growing.

Astrea:

Constance, you sound like a very interesting, spiritually aware person. As much as I'd like to tell you that these strange coincidences mean that the "man you love" will come back and be the person you need him to be, that's not what I'm sensing.

Scorpios are exciting, mysterious and fun to be with. They exude a powerful sexual aura. I can see  how you would be naturally drawn to the OPPOSITE aspects of your own loving, giving personality.

Sadly, all the things that drew you to him in the first place later manifested as some of the more negative Scorpio personality traits. The exciting part became devious. The mysterious part became secretive. The fun part became fun, but only if HE thought it was fun.

You began to see the REAL person underneath the actor, and as a Buddhist, you saw that he wasn't right for you any more, so you released him. It was the right thing to do, and you seem aware of that and resigned to it.

I'm sorry he couldn't keep being who you thought he was. I feel that he WANTED to, but just wasn't able to pull it off. It's very sad for him too, as he will NEVER find ANYONE who will love him the way you did!

Based on your birthdays, personally I hope you're finished with this person. He wasn't right for you. He didn't understand you, and he wasn't really trying to, either.

He has a selfish streak in him a mile wide! He never really took the time to consider you or your feelings, and he wasn't a spiritual person either. You deserve someone who is as gentle and aware as you are, and that guy was NOT it.

These signs mean that you've made the right choice in letting him go. Your plants growing and blooming now that he's gone is just amazing and wonderful.

This is the Universe at work, trying to give you a tangible sign that you did the right thing by ending this relationship. That your plants are happier without the boyfriend around means that you'll eventually be happier too, once you feel better and start giving yourself the chance to grow and bloom either alone or with someone new.

I really love how you say, "It hurts, but the pain isn't unbearable." Isn't that true of most relationships that go wrong?

I hope our readers absorb that phrase, and if THEY are chanters, will use that mantra the next time one of THEIR relationships doesn't work out the way they hoped. We would have a MUCH happier world if we could all realize that just because we make ONE bad choice, it doesn't have to color our lives forever!

Good luck, Dear Heart. New love is on the way!

Astrea:

Many times in life we hear, "You will always have what you NEED, but not necessarily what you WANT." Your spirit must have needed to experience the feeling of leaving your human body, and the suggestion in the next chapter of Sylvia Brown's book was all it took to get you there.

Even though you hadn't read it yet, your SOUL recognized the title of that chapter as something it had been seeking, and your soul, knowing that you had that reference to read after your experience, got with it and out you went!

While I don't usually recommend her books, Sylvia Brown has a wide reaching and powerful effect on lots of people. A Gemini like you would be able to relate easily to her writing and put it to good use. Synchronicity - you gotta love it!

I like your description of "getting caught." That's exactly what it feels like, isn't it? One minute you're free and hovering above the room, and the next minute, ZAP! back down into your corporeal form you go!

As a little kid, I loved that "feeling of return." With practice, most of the time we can control that event, but sometimes, when our physical ears hear a distracting noise or something else occurs to knock us back into reality, back we go. With practice you will be able to control your return better.

I find it interesting that you were visiting your mother-in-law and not someone in your own genetic family. Evidently, you and your husband got married for reasons that are even deeper than love. His family's interest in "psychic stuff" will nurture your children in such matters and help them to grow into their own abilities.

You'll never have to be concerned that when your daughter visits them, she'll be discouraged from exploring her own psychic life and power. My parents encouraged me to develop my psychic senses in a time when it wasn't nice to even discuss such things in public. Heck, it's STILL not considered a great topic at the dinner table in some families!

Your kids will get to talk about it ALL and ask questions and read and study. This is going to give them such an edge in life! Talk with your husband about how you want to present this to your kiddos, so that you are united in your approach and ready to tell them their experiences are all natural and okay.

A word or two of warning: Geminis often have difficulty staying grounded in REAL LIFE. Don't get so strung out on your ASTRAL life that you neglect what you're doing here on Earth.

You are at the beginning of a long journey to learn where your power really lies. Try to be patient with this process and take your time.
