Edinburgh Castle, Scotland

I visited Edinburgh, once, in May of 1984. It was a spur-of-the-moment trip, after having gone to Paris for the previous few days. Was I rediscovering my karmic roots, or what?

Just yesterday, one of my friends asked if she had any connection to Saint Margaret of Scotland.What made the request interesting was how many attempts she made to send me the link. After three tries, she instead send me a screen shot from her phone, which did not give the name, but the 11th century details of her life and death dates, and her marriage to Malcolm III of Scotland. What was going on? Was the Universe trying to prevent us from knowing something? (You can see how my mind works, can’t you?)

Since neither Margaret nor Malcolm have accurate birth details, I could only research their deaths, and compare the charts to this friend and her husband’s birth charts.

It would appear that they are the reincarnation of this royal marriage.

It would also seem that I was their eldest son, Edward, who died the same day as Malcolm. A cross now marks the spot at Broomhouse Hill, Alnwick, Northumberland.

For privacy concerns, I cannot share my friend’s chart details, but I can show you mine. As father and son both died on the same day, I set the clock for 12 noon, and showed it as Malcolm’s death chart.

For me, the clincher is the conjunction between both chart’s North and South Nodes.

Aries North Node: Libra South Node

Here the soul is learning the lessons of self-consciousness on the most elemental levels. Experiences in prior incarnations did not permit the Self to form as a singular identity. Now the individual is paying the price for the indecisiveness of his former lives as well as learning how to rise out of his confusion by developing “one-mindedness.”

Now I see why I’m doing this research: I’m learning that all roads lead back to me.
