Ever wondered about your first human incarnation on earth? Astrology may offer a clue if you look at the area of the sky known to Chaldean and Platonist philosophers as the “Gate of Men” through which they said that our souls first came down from heaven to enter human bodies on earth. The gate lies between two stars known as Asellus Borealis (Northern Donkey) and Asellus Australis (Southern Donkey) and their position also marks a nebula called Praesaepe (the Bee Hive Cluster, the Manger, or the Crib).In ancient times the “Gate of Men” lay in the sign of Cancer and was first recorded in the 2nd millennium BC by Akkadian astronomers. The current location due to progression is between 7 and 8 degrees Leo.
Consider examining this location in your Natal Chart – look to see if there are any significant place, time or deity asteroids which may give you a clue as to when or where your soul may have first incarnated in human form.
For example, you might find a modern place name which points to an ancient location, an ancient place name, an ancient god worshipped in a certain time and place, a Babylonian asteroid, an ancient Egyptian asteroid, an Atlantean asteroid such as Atlantis or Poiseidon or even a Lemurian asteroid (Oceana – named after the Pacific ocean OR one of the Pacific Island names).
Actually there is much more to the symbolism of the two Donkeys and the Bee Hive Cluster/ Manger than first meets the eye but that's a story for another day.
