She said this one astrologer she goes to describes all of us as having "9 lives" to live and that he is on his last life. Is there validity to this? Can it really be seen what lifetime we're in by the natal chart?

I would love to learn more about past life astrology.

If we all only had 9 Earth lives, we'd know that by now.

*every 9 years the nodal axis flip
*every 9 years we have our lifepath return
*a solar/life cycle is roughly 12 months (9 mos in the womb, 90 days outside)
*Nine sets of nodal returns & 9 sets of lifepath returns.

So, much as the rising and setting of the Sun is a fractal of the sleep-wake cycle, which in turn is a fractal of the life-death cycle. This astrologer believes that these 9 year cycles is a fractal of lifetime cycles. Interesting....

Well, yes. I'd be interested to hear ID's take on how she thinks we can prove it.

The 9 Lives would be Earth lives so between one would rest, learn, teach and have lives on other worlds. I love to go to a Risa like planet

As for the 9 lives myth - that's old news by now. So, is this meant as a rectification? Hmm, i see. It wasn't about 9 lives - as in, the ability to die 9 times and come back to life again, but - 9 past lives. Makes sense - i guess. And there's proof everywhere:

- this cat for example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVV_HXtEbLo - was probbaly a Meerkat in a past life.

- the famous YouTube celebrity Henry: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvQPzmoKuBk - was probbaly a politician or a philosopher.

There's an astrologer that my mom met the first time, and during his short interppretation he told her the exact year she married, the exact year her father died etc.

He practiced vedic astrology I think.

We were so shocked.

Realized there are many things we don't know about astrology.

We do too much psychological astrology, blind to the other mysteries and knowledge of the sacred art of astrology.

I respectfully disagree. There's far too much information compiled across centuries that has never remotely referred to such a concept. Millennia, if you will.

Quantum mechanics (modern physics) has finally come to embrace some of the classic Buddhist tradition in its scope of possibility. The understanding of time as a nonlinear, hyperdimensional construct, and reincarnation as a cycle which occurs in sub-cycles of thousands. The category of 'new soul', for example, would be souls who are only a few hundred thousand years old. Old souls would be boasting lifephase experiences in the billions.

But, again, how we measure time is a wonky practise. How it runs elsewhere is entirely dependent upon from what perspective it's being perceived.

Perhaps this astrologer is more trying to quantify a sense of groupings of lifephases; the MOON representing, for example, lives and experiences in which we were a mothering, maternal, caregiving, family-oriented influence. The SUN where we were royalty, fathers, leaders, heads of state. URANUS where we broke the rules, pioneered, were eccentric and unpredictable -- PLUTO where we dominated our region, or even world, applying SATURN's mastery in far-reaching ways.

Who can say?

I've always thought the planets could be utilised in this 'karmic snapshot' format. But, honestly, I'd consider more than each would be a representation of the twelve dimensions of time that are observable along a single timeline.

I'm still trying to decide which 12 points to use, however. The 12 signs are a given, of course, and give rise to the potential utility of such a method.

After the ninth life, I think one would move on to another theme. What if we have 9 lives to experience one type of theme?
