How and where should we read about traces of reincarnation on a birth chart?
This is an advanced Astrology article complementing Karma and reincarnation on a birth chart, recently published on medium.com. In this post, you'll find more details, basic concepts and explanations about this type of reading, to make it by your own and according to what you're especially interested in knowing on a chart.
Recapitulations
In a timeline, vital energy recapitulates forms in matter that have been crystalized during previous developments.
Each recapitulation itself is some previous state of development, to which we add characteristics from our current experience during the present time. We can see it since 7 years old, when the etheric body has already consolidated its shape, and mental magnetism starts developing intention as a component of the vital structure.
The mentioned vital fact is just one of many we can see in a timeline, which inside of a karmic perspective is mainly considered at the times when Saturn in transit forms squares and oppositions to its birth position. Birth forms already crystalized are finished at the end of its first cycle, around 29 years old. The end is a karmic liberation from those forms, in a period starting after the first 21 years of our life, during which the previous reincarnation was recapitulated.
For considering the forms of recapitulation, we can also take as a reference other planetary cycles, like those of the Earth or Jupiter (30° arch / terrestrial year). Whichever be the translation we're considering, each new year adds a particular tone coming from the previous reincarnation, and it is observed in the configurations of the Zodiac at rest.
(1) The reasons to link both solar and terrestrial perspectives are mentioned since the beginning of Astrology & Karma series. The first articles are especially dedicated to meditate on the relevance of the Sun in our system. The series ended on April 2023 but remains available as a free reading list on Medium.
Rest
Times converging is a practical experience we live constantly, making the very time disappear as such. This is related to astrological matters as well as to fortune-telling, especially when using mancias for divination purposes (2). There's no remoteness nor abstractions in all of this, nor close or concrete matters, so focusing on topics such as karma and reincarnation makes us losing the concept of time as well as relativizing density. In Astrology, it becomes a practice by considering both Zodiac at rest and Zodiac in motion, altogether.
The first one provides the experience of non-motion, of what has not been densified in a timeline (3). It's the Zodiac of non-differentiation, non-discrimination, non-separation. That's why all of the translations to be considered in it start from the beginning of Aries' portion. And that's the way we gather what is unfolded and what is not unfolded, both expressions converging over the years in our vital experience.
The resting Zodiac is a very useful matrix to study particular years or moments, and also to observe relationships when some planets are completing their cycles, and of course even much beyond Saturn's first return. To start, you count on the following table to appreciate the annual arch distances each planet transits from rest until 21 years old, approximately.
Positions at rest from 1 to 21 years old.pdfDifferent colors in distances indicate if they happen before or after the first cycle of the planet. Moon's nodes follow a clockwise direction but both table and the following video show degrees with positive values (4).
The video is another way to visualize the same data on birth charts. Exact aspects are especially relevant from a vital point of view, so the orbs are quite reduced for setting angles. On the table as well as on charts, just North Node's positions are included, and you have to deduce the South's one and its aspects.
Pause the sequence in the year you're interested in the most to observe what the current reincarnation is recapitulating for that period.

(3) In the graphs of the articles included in Astrology & Karma series, the expression of non-motion is always indicated by a black circle.
(4) If you're interested in the geometry at rest for later years, use the sidereal reference included in the previous table: ((365,25 x nº years) x 360° )/ days of the planetary cycle. Some distances will exceed 360°, so you'll have to subtract that number as many times as necessary to get a lower value than the complete arch. Then, place planets on the distances you got, starting from birth positions.
Rest & motion
Along with relationships in no motion, then we have to consider birth charts in motion. It means we have to add arch distances of the year or moment of interest to birth positions.
New positions are the ones adding a particular tone coming from the previous reincarnation. The tone has to be included in the specific vital development you're considering, and of course in the transit of that moment as a moulding characteristic. The resting Zodiac as a matrix is also a very useful tool to distinguish between "iterated" aspects over time, which never happens.
For instance, let's consider Saturn's classic aspects inside of its cycle. The first square differs from the last one because of the lunar cycle's matrix indicating processes of growth (1st) and processes of declining (2nd) during Earth's revolutions. And after the 1st cycle, processes take place when birth karma has already been depleted, and inside of the specificities indicated by the unfolding of the Zodiac at rest, as a wholeness, at the time each one of those squares is formed over the sequenced cycles of the planet.
Vital facts of development
For getting the vital meaning of relationships observed across the Zodiac at rest, it's also basic to understand temporary resonances connecting planets, and what each one of them is favoring as the participants separate from or get closer to each other, between 0° and 180° of distance, especially the connections of planets in the series of creation, which are the evolutional factor impelling development in raisings, changes of frequencies, solar vitalization and dynamics in forms (5).
Keep in mind the article on Medium just mentioned the most important years during the esoteric solar development only during Saturn's cycle, exclusively pointing to achievements allowing later to deplete birth karma from 21 years old until the end of its first cycle (6).
On chart of year 9, the most important aspects involve Jupiter. The great benefactor culminating in squares to lunar nodes in their first hemicycle (270 and 180 arch degrees, respectively), and with the axis' projections in opposition to birth position (rest), year 9 brings a recapitulation separating from lunar karma. A few days ago, Venus might have formed an exact opposition with Uranus (7) and, considering both planets belong to the series of creation, the effect of mental magnetism (Jupiter) will be potentiated from physical areas either (even by trines formed by karma's planets: Venus - Saturn and, some days ago, Mars - Uranus). The planet initiating the resonance to Jupiter will make the difference, which is Mercury at 127° from birth position, providing a particular directing consciousness for the forms of mental magnetism in action, in the incipient individual intention in the structure. The way all of this will be displayed will be indicated by those planets' and nodes' positions on the birth chart, after adding the referred arch distances to birth positions.

On chart of year 12, Jupiter (the planet of life), the poles Venus - Marts joined, and North Node entering the house of pregnancy, are related to the beginning of puberty and the chance of a new vital replica.

On chart of year 18, North Node returns two months after opposing Jupiter, in a special year for perceiving karmic patterns and giving a new orientation to magnetism attached to them, as part of the process of transcending birth forms (14 to 21 years old).

The geometry of the resting Zodiac is the human matrix: it provides the vital meaning of its very recapitulation, is expressed in the circumstances of each year or moment of interest, and even redefines each transit over time.
(5) Some generic relationships can be appreciated as karma of densification, for instance resonances of planets forming series of octaves beyond life on Earth. Other more specific ones, which are the ones of interest here, are related to the development of specific aspects in the human vital structure. Find more references and details in Astrology & Esoterism series and the book Astrology and fusions. The three Zodiacs. Like A & K, the series is a free-access reading list on Medium, and the book is freely distributed.
(6) Forms and qualities expressed during the liberation are what each human reincarnation in present time is about. They're the product of this very chance we're living in, the plus we produce. To expand our view about each development, you count on esoteric charts (Three birth charts) and signs of psychic energy (Free Will in Astrology II). Both articles are part of Unmissable notes, a series freely distributed in TM (more info here.) It's about seeing what is depleted (series of Saturn) and the way it is depleted (series of Uranus).
(7) Oppositions make it easier for the full expression of a sign, whereas conjunctions tend to mix qualities (subtracting definition to the sign). Besides, conjunctions always provide a tone more related to Neptune, whereas oppositions are more related to Mars.
Meditations
Joining the perspectives of resting and motion takes us to meditate on each phase of vital experiences. In astrological terms, we can easily see returns and transits as never iterating experiences, also seeing that times converging turn the usage and handling of psychic energy into an effective practice.
Along with the application of mental energy on matter, vital energy goes through changes of direction, concentration, intensity and form, modifying both the evolutional axis, which is indicated by lunar nodes on astral charts, and current developments indicated by the Sun's rising sign and its solar equivalences on esoteric charts (8).
(8) If you're interested in astrological ways to direct psychic energy, some esoteric planetary alignments may potentiate it or be actively implemented. Some of them create aspects of the human vital structure (Free Will in Astrology III) and some others are related to free will, for reaching specific interests (Inductions in esoteric Astrology) as well as impelling to specific developments or freeing from birth karma (A & E #11: Astrology and fusions).
