A New Earth – Now
Reincarnation Written in the Stars
By Melanie Dufty
Consciousness continually evolves through death and rebirth and, as components of it; we do the same through the process of reincarnation. Each incarnation is part of a complex personal puzzle we slowly piece together on the journey back to remembering who we are.
We’re born with a divinelyorchestrated game plan as part of this individual path of evolution, with karmic and evolutionary astrology helping us to understand it.
There’s no blank slate at birth; however, there is a blueprint connected to our progress in other lives. In alignment, our birth occurs when planetary patterns support us to experience a lifetime of specific opportunities, challenges, characteristics, circumstances and destined pathways.
It’s designed to help us progress our evolution to the point of realising our true self and its oneness with all.
Key Informers
The entire natal chart holds our plan: of particular importance to understanding our reincarnation path are the positions of the Moon’s karmic nodes, Pluto, the planet of transformation and Saturn, the planet of karma and pressure.
The Moon’s nodes operate as a pair and show a key purpose of our present incarnation. Our north node shows the positive direction to take, while the south node shows what we have achieved in this and other lifetimes that no longer holds beneficial growth. It is important to recognise our south node’s comfort zone and actively challenge ourselves to go towards the north node.
Without this awareness life can be trickier, because the south node feels familiar, leading us to assume it’s the right path. However, we’re meant to
stretch into new territory and life flows better when we do.
Pluto shows where our deepest transformations occur as we face the heftiest issues brought across lifetimes. It represents the seat of our greatest power, where we feel the most disempowered and it always involves destruction and regeneration.
Saturn shows the energetic blockages, weaknesses and fears taken from other lifetimes, indicating where to concentrate most effort and discipline. If we rise to Saturn’s stern demands, these areas can become our greatest strengths.
Why Do It?
Many of us accept we’re on a reincarnation journey, progressively becoming more self-realised. So why take it on?
Through many lifetimes, we believe we are separate from our soul, each other and life itself. We experience this in every nuance, only to eventually realise there is no separation.
This evolution game involves us falling from paradise - Heaven - and returning to it after our heroic journeys, wizened and expanded by what we learned in exploring duality.
The feminine and masculine forces of creation are one and can never truly be separated; however, they do differentiate so we can create with contrast.
We play with this creative power on our path of reincarnation. The risk is we play the game so deeply, we forget the truth of ‘who’ we are, causing us to become lost for many lifetimes and making the experience far denser than it needs to be.
Galactic Reincarnation
Great cycles of evolution turn as the stars and planets rotate around the centre of the galaxy in perfectly timed exactitude. These cycles move Earth from times of light as we align with the galaxy’s heart, then plunge us into the darkness of what seems to be separation as we turn away.
Within these cycles, there are eras where feminine and masculine energy take turns as the dominant force, leading to vast creation as they reunify in balance at a more expansive level than before.
The astronomical and astrological model called the Grand Precessional Cross explains this cycle and has us now at the point where we’ve once again turned to face the light at the centre of the galaxy, once we realise our truth of unity.
This is a major turning point of the current ~24,000 to ~26,000 year Grand Precessional Cross cycle, bringing an era of unity for all those ready, while those who are not will continue for another round. Our galactic and individual soul evolution unfolds across many smaller circuits of death and rebirth within that macro-cycle.
While this is a destined point for unity, the momentum of the wheel of reincarnation tries to keep us in duality consciousness for another cycle. We need the gumption to claim our truth and end the illusion and, for all who see it well enough to choose it, the time is now.
