Arthur Schopenhauer (February 22, 1788 – September 21, 1861)

Honestly, I cannot decide whether someone comes to mind because they’re connected to me, or they’re just interesting in their own right. This man is a case in point. Part of his life overlaps that of William Blake, so my immediate feeling is that he has ‘nothing’ to do with me, but then a little niggle holds back my opinion.

Based upon a noon birth, since his details are unknown, there is but one inconjunct, linking the Moon and Pluto. That means it might not really exist if the true timing of his birth were known.

Moon Inconjunct Pluto

This aspect means that your emotions are very intense and not always easy to deal with. Often your feelings make you want to do or say something without knowing why. Also you may have very intense moods in which you withdraw from those around you into a world of your own. This should not be a very serious problem unless you have been brought up to have all sorts of fears and worries. In that case your actions will be driven by your fears, and you may behave quite strangely. If you do not feel accepted and emotionally supported at home, you may constantly feel guilty for what you think you have done to others, or jealous that people aren’t paying enough attention to you, or generally possessive of those around you.

Yes, that sounds familiar to me. But, unless I live more than one life concurrently during that time period, I don’t think he has anything to do with me. And then there’s this:

Natal Pluto in opposition to each other is interesting. And natal Neptune in conjunction. Hmm. Finally, his natal Moon is conjunct my natal Saturn. Could he have been the past life of my father, JEM?

I feel this accurately describes my theories about astrology and reincarnation.
