Past life astrology
Who were you in a past life?
Find out by your date of birth
NEBO reads the South Node in your birth chart: the role you played before, the era it fits, the gift you brought with you and the old habit to drop. Plus your guardian angel and archangel.
Nobody can prove past lives. This is a reading of your chart's South Node, the point astrologers link to what you bring into this life. Take it as a mirror, not a record.

How NEBO reads a past life
- 1
The South Node
The point opposite the North Node in your chart. Astrologers read it as what you were born already knowing, and the comfort zone you keep sliding back to.
- 2
Role and era
Its sign (or house, with a birth time) picks one of 12 roles. Then NEBO picks an era where that role could really have lived.
- 3
Gift, habit, lesson
What you brought with you, the old habit that holds you back, and where your North Node pushes you next.
Questions
Is this real?
Nobody can prove it. NEBO reads one point of your birth chart through a past-life story. Use it to spot habits and talents you were born with.
Do I need my birth time?
No. Your birth date works. Without a time the role comes from the South Node's sign, so people born within the same year or so often share it. A birth time switches to the house, which is personal.
Can a friend have the same past life?
Yes, and NEBO shows it: add friends by birth date and see which of you shared a role or an era.
What else is in this section?
Your guardian angel and its shadow, your archangel, the gods you'd pray to and the deadly sins you lean to, all from the same chart.
Your past life is already in your chart
Takes a birth date and one minute.
