Who were you in a past life?
This a reading for the collective about past lives. This may be your most recent one, or your most significant one. If something doesn't resonate, leave it behind.
Before you choose a pile, take a deep breath and close your eyes. Do not choose the pile based on your own aesthetic taste; choose it on how you feel about them. The one that evokes the most emotions (even "negative" ones) should be the one you end up choosing. But then again, you know yourself better than I. Good reading.

A male. Hot tempered, impulsive, intense.

How was your family?
Sneaky, dishonest, deceptive, liars.

A disciplined, patient and meticulous child. Somewhat shy, not alot of friends. Lost in their path, never knew which way to go and couldn't rely on the adults around them.
How were you as a teenager?
Started rebelling a bit more, started becoming more impulsive. Something switched for you, you realised that being patient might bring you nowhere.
Your karma in this current life
We will now explore how this past life carried its karmic lessons into your present self.
How did this past life's energy affect your childhood in this current timeline?
Rough childhood. Starting out feeling like you've been through hell and back, even at a very young age. But also realizing that it can only get better as you age.
How did this past life's energy affect your present?
The dream of becoming someone important has not died; it has crystallised. If you can go back to being disciplined and patient, these traits can lead you to a lot of power in this life.
How will this energy from your past life affect your future?
In this life, you've started out at the bottom. You know how to deal with liars, deceptive trickery, and your own mind playing tricks. As you age, you will be able to go for what makes you really happy, if only you listen to what is true to you.
How to overcome the karmic pattern?
In your case, the karmic pattern is around liars, deception (of others and the self) and listening to impulses instead of patiently waiting and working on what's true for you. In order to overcome it, joining a community that is authentic to you and investing in it will break that cycle. Spreading love will always lets you go further than rebelling against your own self.

A woman, with very masculine traits (or what was seen as masculine for the time period). Very oriented towards material wealth, building something sustainable for yourself. You may have repressed those feelings.

Very controlling, you felt trapped. He was a powerful man and you felt like "his thing" rather than his wife.

What was your achievement?

How was your spirituality?
Non-existent. You spent no time thinking about God or the Universe, and even felt anger or deep resentment.
The Time period
What was your fear in society?
Your time period felt uncertain; you were fearing an ideology or a person. You had no idea what to expect for yourself or people of your own kind. It's almost like the future was hopeless, there was no pleasure in searching for opportunities. You were scared it would stay that bleak forever.

Your joy in society had actually little to do with society as a whole. You had a family and that was the most important thing for you.
What was your dream?
You did not allow yourself to dream.
Your life
How were you as a child?
Happy. You felt free and had little to no worries.
How were you as a teenager?
You were abe to keep that sense of childlike wonder and would be able to stay in touch with your emotions and creativity.
How were you as an adult?
Something happened in adulthood that made you lose your faith in other people and society as a whole. It made you turn your back on everyone else and you were left paranoid, resentful but mostly hurt.

Riddled with nightmares, anxiety and racing thoughts. Whatever happened, you never truly let it go, and it haunted you until the end.
Your current life
We will now explore how this past life carried its karmic lessons into your present self.
How did this past life's energy affect your childhood in this current timeline?
You still hold the belief that material wealth can make you overcome anything. In this current life, the belief is even more rigid and could come across as almost stingy. As a child, you have dealt with lessons including money and losses.
How did this past life's energy affect your present?
Right now, you are being asked to let go. Let go of the fear of being broke, let go of your past mistakes, let go of everything. In this life, you need to learn to move on for good.
How will this energy from your past life affect your future?
They will learn the true meaning of victory, which has nothing to do with material wealth, but more so to do with inner confidence, the ability to leave things when it turns sour and to trust oneself.
How will you overcome this life's karmic lesson?
The lesson lies in your past life's achievement. You need to master the ability of leaving your familiar state, even if it means leaving everything behind. The trick is to understand that not all that glitters is gold.
Pile 3 - Pink candies
Were you a male or a female?
A woman, and very proud to be one. Possibly woman-loving as well...
How was your partner?
You had a very passionate relationship. In that relationship, the woman/person that you loved was torn between you and someone else. You were not chosen and had to live with that grief.
How was your family?
You also felt torn in your family, like they were asking you to be/choose one path or the other. You did not feel safe to be your whole self with them.
What was your accomplishment?
You were able to go very far in your career and you took great pride in it, because this hadn't been easy at all.
How was your spirituality?
You were born in a religious family, the religion that was most common in your time period/era and followed it not because you truly had faith, but because it was what you had always known. Spirituality didn't have a big place in your life.
The Time Period
What was your fear of society?
You always felt like it was you against the institution. There were strict rules in place and it felt like every steps for you to get in had to be a battle. You knew you were talented and yet, everything felt like an uphill battle. You were scared that at the end, they would win over you and drain you of abilities.
What was your joy?
It wasn't that long ago that people similar to you had been given more freedom in society, and so you also had very high ambitions and were excited to be able to try things and become someone that your ancestors could only ever dream of.
What was your dream?
A part of you wanted to burn everything to the ground. There is something in that time period that is deeply against who you are and what you stand for. You believed that the way to dismantle was to gain access to wealth and money.
Your life
How were you as a child?
Quite poor. Your family had suffered, and you went many nights without eating in a cold house. But you were also a very resilient child who was able to hold hope in your heart that things would get better.
How were you as a teenager?
You were rebellious and combative. Because people had a hard time seeing those qualities in a teenage girl, you often felt rejected. You eventually found solace in solitude.
How were you as an adult?
You were creative, soft, and confident. But a part of yourself felt hidden from you, a part that had been shamed for so long that you didn't know what to make of it.
How were you as you aged?
You ended up mastering your own craft, whatever it was. You did feel alone, but you felt competent and intelligent, which were attributes you were very proud of.
This current life
We will now explore how this past life carried its karmic lessons into your present self.
How did this past life's energy affect your childhood in this current timeline?
In this current life, your childhood and/or adolescence were quite harsh. You went through something that shattered the idea you had of yourself.
How did this past life's energy affect your present?
You seem to still be unsure of who you truly are, pile 3. You seem to oscillate between extremes, constantly.
How will this energy from your past life affect your future?
Life's events might change you to the point where you don't recognize yourself anymore. You need to take time and sit with yourself. Who are you? What are your values? What do you stand for?
How can you overcome this karmic lesson?
This past life's themes are about identity, constant criticism, and being rejected by society or people close to you. You need to be able, despite constant chaos or life's rapid shifts, to know who you are at the centre. Never internalise the judgments of someone else, as they have a habit of solidifying and becoming a part of your psyche.
