Reply #48: Karmic astrology

[cassiepriam]

I hate to get off on a tangent since karmic astrology is a new field in western astrology with few practitioners. And it looks at the natal chart in a way that is different is some ways from classically trained astrologers.
I don't want to confuse everyone since we are tying to learn the basics
of astrology in a typically classic tradition.

There are many specialty areas in astrology and like any diverse field each
area does things a bit differently as they have different purposes. So no one is right or wrong. All are valuable.

Karmic astrology is looking at past life issues. However that is not my real interest, I am really more into soul or spiritual astrology, as I am not really concerned about past lives per se, I am focused on soul purpose and spiritual issues and past lives are just a vehicle to determine that. So you can see that even in the area of karmic work I have gone into a sub sub specialty :)

That is why I do not even consider myself an astrologer. I am focused on spiritual and soul growth and consider astrology just one way to explore that. And I had to learn the language of astrology to break the code of the natal chart. Like a minister who learns Hebrew to read the bible in its original form. Or like a physician who has to know how to interpret lab reports to help the patient. But I enjoy the astrology part of it, and so can get into the whole technical and classic end of it for fun.
