James Madison (March 16, 1751 [NS] – June 28, 1836)

Reincarnation Research has not made this link, as far as I know. But I had a hint from Karen’s “Ask the Spirit Guides” channel video yesterday. But more on that, later.

James Madison was the 4th US President. He was considered to be quite successful by his peers.

 Madison left office as a popular president; former president Adams wrote that Madison had “acquired more glory, and established more union, than all his three predecessors, Washington, Adams, and Jefferson, put together”.

Here is his birth chart, which, not surprisingly, was already on my computer program.

Pluto on the Ascendant can be quite dynamic, especially in a “straight-shooting”‘ sign like Sagittarius. But there are four inconjuncts: Mercury and Uranus (conjunct) are both inconjunct to Neptune; and Jupiter is inconjunct to the Pluto/Ascendant conjunction.

To be honest, I don’t know much about Madison, even though he was President during the War of 1812-14. This sets up, at least for me, the irony of the person he reincarnated as.

Bernie Sanders (September 8, 1941)

It was during Karen’s questions and answer session with Bernie Sanders’ higher self that the idea that he was reincarnated from a Founding Father first gave me a clue as to the person he might have been.

It’s not a perfect match by any means, but Bernie’s North Node is conjunct Madison’s natal Midheaven: that’s enough to demonstrate a karmic link, especially where the Presidency is concerned. Bernie’s South Node is, naturally, within 4° of Madison’s natal Sun. And Madison’s South Node is within 3° of Bernie’s natal Jupiter. Interactively, between Madison’s ‘fatal’ chart and Bernie’s natal one, there are several Yods (Fingers of God).

It might seem a bit of a stretch, but Bernie’s progressive Democrat stance on trade with Canada seems at odds with the original impulse to conquer Canada in 1812 as Madison, but that’s how karma is resolved.

The election of 2016 was a missed opportunity to let Bernie get his chance to be President again. But I am reminded of this quote:
