I have had a very roller coaster life last few years with a slight kundalini/chakra awareness, awareness of almost 8 past/simultaneous lives,
dramatic IQ increase, strength increase from a total wimp who couldnt bench press 100 pounds to nearly 300 pounds now. This had been difficult initially because I was an orthodox fundamentalist muslim who used to think one life then heaven or hell, now I "know" that all traditional faiths are mind-control.
So is any inkling of this dramatic change found in my chart ? It would be most helpful. Thanks in advance!

Thanks a million for the pointers. I am gonna be studying this website and the transit in astro.com for this weekend, to see if the stars foretold this transformation accurately. Maybe this will prepare others for similar changes too.

As gemini girl indicates you certainly have been undergoing a great, powerful spiritual transformation! And, while the transiting node MAY be involved at the moment, the transiting node moves fairly quickly, so it was NOT conjunct your ascendant when the situations you described occurred. Instead of a short-term, temporary effect (such as that indicated by the node), we need to look for a long-term effect (which means a transit (planets moving in the sky) from one of the slower moving "outer planets": Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto).

Perhaps the clue is in the situation you describe: "great, powerful spiritual transformation". If we put this into "astro-speak" this becomes:
- great (Sagittarius, Jupiter, 9th house)
- powerful transformation (Scorpio, Pluto, 8th house)
- spiritual (Pisces, Neptune, 12th house)

Consider that Scorpio/Pluto/8th house also have to do with death, and we may be onto something. So we look in your chart for any combination of these and we find a GREAT deal:
You have Sagittarius (great) modifying Neptune (Spiritual) focused in the 8th house (transformation, also power, death) near the 9th house (expansion) opposite (energy is over-excited by) Jupiter (expansion); so there is spiritually powerful "greatness" already in the chart (as is also indicated by your strong religious belief). What changed several years ago? What change in the planets occurred?

Keeping in mind that we are looking for some type of spiritual transformation, we first look for Pisces/Neptune/12th house, and find that transiting (planets in the sky) Neptune (spirituality) moved into sextile (energy flows very easily with) birth Neptune in January 2003. At the same time transiting Neptune trined Jupiter. This formed a transiting "Easy Opposition" focused on Neptune focused in the 11th house (friends, also intuition). At THIS moment that Neptune opposite Jupiter energy suddenly had something to focus their energy on...transiting Neptune. So that bottled up great spiritual death power is now focused on spirtual intuition...or, as you put it "kundalini/chakra awareness, awareness of almost 8 past/simultaneous lives, dramatic IQ increase".

So what about the "strength increase"? Spiritual power CAN become physical power if it flows easily. So we now notice that transiting Neptune is TRINE (energy flows very easily with) Pluto (transformation, also power) focused in the 6th house (daily work), so there is actual daily POWER generated by your intuitive spiritual power.

So what about "past life awareness"? I think the nodes MAY be the answer here as well, but instead it is activation of the BIRTH nodes, rather than the transiting nodes. For Neptune has been (and soon will be again) trining the North node (future goals) and sextiling the South node (the past), again formaing an Easy opposition channeling past life energy into Neptune.

I think the REAL challenge at this time is from transting Neptune (spirituality) opposing (energy is over-excited by) Saturn (duty, also restriction). When Neptune and Saturn are in opposition it indicates that a person is trying to structure (Saturn) something which CAN'T be structured (Neptune). The challenge is that this process of trying to structure the unstructurable can create neuroses, psychoses, etc.

The challenge at this time is ACCEPTING the Neptunian change WITHOUT trying to structure it. Remember that it is ONLY a transit and, with time, everything will be back to its "usual" way, except you will have more wisdom about the things around you (even if you DON'T have the direct awareness of those things any more). This Neptune mystical transit should be going away by late next year. And the Neptune opposite Saturn should be gone by the middle of the following year (two years from now).

This is a challenging time, but expand with your new wisdom, accept it, and transform your self-awareness through this process. You are privileged to be able to look "behind the veil" of the world. Look, learn, and know.
