Ancestral and birth karma
Preface
Our life depends greatly on our lineage and the tasks that our lineage imposes upon us. Even if, for some reason, we move far away from our relatives, try to forget them—both those who are alive and those who have already passed away—we still cannot completely free ourselves from the influence of our lineage.
Ancestral programs are hereditary patterns of behavior, emotions, and thoughts passed down from generation to generation, influencing actions and decisions. These programs, connected with the experiences of our ancestors, manifest themselves in the form of family scenarios, traditions, and recurring issues concerning finances and relationships.
Working through and understanding these ancestral programs can help transform hereditary patterns. In the natal charts of parents, children, and relatives, one can always observe the interaction of the same planets through different aspects.
The Lineage and the Planets
The first seven generations (starting from us) are crucial for understanding the problems within the lineage and for working through karma.
First Generation
The first generation is ourselves.
The planet responsible for us is the Sun. The Sun embodies light, joy, life—that is, it represents us. At least, this is what we are meant to be.
Second Generation
The second generation consists of our parents.
The Moon governs the parents (emotions, feelings, mind, family relationships, the overall sense of happiness).
From the parents, a child inherits behavior, speech, habits, manners, and patterns of relationships in marriage and with others.
Third Generation
The third generation consists of our grandparents.
The planet Mercury rules grandparents (communication, intellect, logical thinking, reason—all that is passed down to us from them).
Grandparents also pass on talents, traditions, and abilities.
Fourth Generation
The fourth generation consists of our great-grandparents.
The planet Venus rules great-grandparents (love, material well-being, beauty, close relationships).
If this generation experienced good relationships, then you are likely to have them as well.
It is believed that one should pray for this generation if they wish to have true love and a happy relationship with a beloved partner in their own life.
Fifth Generation
This generation includes our great-great-grandparents.
The planet Mars governs great-great-grandparents (action, activity, aggression, protection).
They are the protectors of the lineage, capable of preserving it, achieving victories, conquering, and attaining goals.
However, these people may also have been attackers or aggressors. If there were murderers or rapists in your fifth generation, violence and cruelty may manifest in your life as well.
Sixth Generation
The sixth generation is ruled by Jupiter (wisdom, spirituality, profound knowledge, morality).
If the connection with the sixth generation is well established, they attract good teachers, spiritual partners, and moral individuals who bring us blessings.
Seventh Generation
The seventh generation is governed by Saturn, which oversees all karma and is responsible for justice.
Within the seventh generation are two main ancestors (the Matriarch and the Patriarch). These ancestors have a profound influence on our purpose and destiny.
Ancestral Karma and Debts to the Lineage According to Month of Birth
Being born in a certain month imposes upon a person specific karmic tasks that must be fulfilled. As a rule, this is connected with someone from among the relatives.
For those born in January, an important task is helping their brothers and sisters. If they are younger than you, this may involve financial or practical assistance. If your brothers and sisters are older than you, this may mean psychological support—that is, giving them attention, listening to them, and trying to understand their problems.
If there are no biological brothers and sisters, then attention should be given to cousins or nephews and nieces. If you do not have such relatives either, then you should take someone younger under your guidance. This may happen at work—for example, helping a new employee.
It is important to find time to communicate with those younger than you and those who need advice.
For those born in February, an important task is to show attention and care toward older relatives, as there was a distortion along the ancestral line in this area.
Perhaps your ancestors lacked attention and respect toward their parents, or your forebears may have once abandoned elderly relatives or shown no interest in their fate.
You must correct this. You need to care for parents, grandparents, and people older than you. These people do not necessarily have to be your relatives—they can be elderly individuals who simply need someone to listen to them.
It is also recommended to care for animals, feed them, and participate in charitable activities.
Those born in March face a challenging task. These people enter through the mother’s lineage, although outwardly they may resemble the father and paternal relatives, yet the problematic connection lies with the maternal line.
These individuals carry many painful issues connected with the mother. Outwardly, the relationship may appear well-balanced, but in reality, there are many complexes and unresolved internal problems.
The task is to establish a good relationship with the mother while at the same time separating from her influence, not succumbing to it. Such a person will find it difficult to achieve professional success unless this is accomplished.
It is beneficial to let go of feelings of resentment toward the mother and maternal relatives.
Those born in April come into the father’s lineage, even if outwardly they resemble the mother and maternal relatives. Their task is to restore harmony in the relationship with the father and paternal relatives (to release grievances).
Often, in the family of such a child, there are conflicts between father and mother.
The child should try to understand the father, his actions, and learn to accept him, as there is a karmic debt toward the father.
The task of such a person is to reconcile the mother with the father, to unite the maternal and paternal lines, to welcome relatives from both sides into the home, as well as new family members (one’s spouse and the new relatives that appear when children marry), and to gather everyone at the same table.
Such people combine within themselves the qualities of the maternal lineage and the qualities of the paternal lineage. Sometimes this is harmonious, and sometimes the person is contradictory. They are considered dual-natured. They may behave differently each time, as the qualities of the maternal and paternal lines do not always integrate harmoniously.
Such a person may, during one period of life, resemble the mother and the maternal line outwardly and manifest their character traits, and during another period—resemble the father or paternal relatives and display their traits of character.
The task of such a person is to care for their own family. They should have work and a career, but family must come first.
In this lineage, there was a distortion that consisted of refusing to have a family and children or refusing to care for one’s family and children. Therefore, it is very important for those born in June to have a family, children, and to show care toward them.
If in this life the person also refuses to have a family, children, or does not care for their family and children, or becomes the cause of a divorce, this will make the karma of their lineage even heavier.
The task of those born in July is connected with change.
The problem of the lineage lies in the absence of change.
The task of such a person is to move with the entire family to another city or another country, and at the new place of residence it is necessary to create their own family.
Such a person may be interested in other countries and cultures from childhood. All this is realized through travel, studying foreign languages, and learning about different cultures.
Such a person must reconcile relatives. When they are born, the parents’ relationship deteriorates; they may argue a lot, or they may even divorce.
The task of the child is to reconcile the maternal lineage with the paternal lineage if the parents have divorced, and even if the divorced parents do not reunite, they should at least remain on good terms.
Another task is to accept other people’s children into one’s lineage. For example, if a spouse already has children from a previous marriage, one should accept them into the family.
The main thing is not to be a source of conflicts within one’s own family, but to strive to reconcile everyone with each other if someone is in conflict with another, to restore relationships between relatives if they do not communicate or if their relationships are very cold.
Those born in September must bring honor to their lineage through their own achievements and high professionalism.
