First off: for this theory you have to believe in past lives or the possibility of it.

Secondly: I believe everyone has had a multitude of past lives on this earth and I am aware, from my viewpoint, that everyone has experienced extreme hardship in one or more of them.

However, I believe that the outer planets especially point to karmic themes (particularly Pluto and Saturn) and thus show past life themes and experiences we have carried into this life.

Saturn/Pluto I associate with things such as: torture, war, persecution, and, for example, the Inquisition.

So, people with these harsh aspects between Pluto and Saturn could relate to being afraid of these things (even if these things didn‘t happen to them in this life, but also if they did) or reacting quite emotionally to them. Ofc, they could likely also experience these things in this life or, a lighter version of this, activated by their karmic energetic blueprint and thus activating their unconscious karmic energetic memory of these kinds of experiences. This could even be activated by watching a movie or reading/ hearing about it - creating vivid imagery and intense emotion due to the unconscious memories.

How’s your experience been with these placements?

I‘d include: square, opposition, conjunction, quincunx (150 degrees) and maybe even the semi-sextile (30 degrees). Also, there’s a couple of less known minor aspects that could also have this effect (tao, semi-square, sesquiquadrate).
