Emperor Vespasian (July 1, 69 AD – June 23, 79 AD)

One of the most confusing things that I’ve encountered during my search for a past life in 1st Century Rome is the difficulty in nailing anyone down to my exact planetary coordinates in my birth chart. Vespasian comes closest, and yet, I don’t resonate with his persona, or his energy. Tiberius Julius Alexander fits me better. However, I am coming to the conclusion that my past life then may be coloured by some aspect of conformity with the people and events of that time period. In fact, I surmised that I was born in 10 AD, based on the position of Saturn in my birth chart.

Because nothing is known for certain about Tiberius Julius Alexander’s birth and death, I have only Vespasian’s charts to compare with my birth chart.

What I wasn’t expecting was the flipflop of Vespasian’s ‘fatal’ North Node and my natal South Node being within 1°. His becoming Emperor is highlighted by Saturn being there, as well as his natal Saturn also. It implies he might have been like a father to me. My natal Pluto is within 2° of his natal Moon. Hmm. His ‘fatal’ Moon is conjunct my Part of Fortune. My natal Neptune is conjunct his natal Pluto. My natal Uranus is conjunct to his ‘fatal’ Sun and Emperor Sun. My natal Sun is within 5° of his ‘fatal’ Pluto. My Ascendant is conjunct his ‘fatal’ Part of Fortune and his natal Mercury. What is going on, here?

I hate to suggest that I may actually have been Vespasian, instead of TJA. But, then, I’m reminded of the fact that my natal Mars is conjunct my South Node. I was a soldier in the service of the Roman Empire.

I was never an Emperor.
