Did My Father Reincarnate as My Grandson?

There I was, having a quiet afternoon nap, when this question crossed my mind. Could it be possible? Could my dad have come back as my son’s only son? Holy Cow, Batman!

This seems impossible, but their birth charts, in particular, are very well connected. Jim’s North Node is conjunct Avery’s Jupiter; their birth Ascendants are about 1° apart in Gemini; Jim’s ‘fatal’ Saturn is conjunct Avery’s Pluto in Sagittarius, while Jim’s ‘natal’ South Node is conjunct Avery’s Mars in Sagittarius; Jim’s natal Mars/Saturn conjunction @ 16° Aries is conjunct Avery’s Venus; and Avery’s South Node is halfway between Jim’s natal Sun and Uranus in Capricorn. And the one that shows me their strongest tie: their natal Midheavens are (almost) exactly conjunct @ 21° Aquarius, where Jim’s natal Mercury sits, conjunct with Avery’s Uranus.

I’m not going to publish Avery’s full name here, but I will share a photo of him from 2015-16:

Do you see the similarity? (And before you say, “Well, they came from the same gene pool, didn’t they?” please consider that Avery was born before I even knew that my father had died. And it had never occurred to me to compare their charts until today.) None of the rest of us in the intervening lives (me, and my son, Derek) look like this. And my grandson is sooo smart.

(The irony is that my mother and father never got together during my lifetime, and yet they came back as my grandchildren … you cannot make this sh*t up.)

Bless.
