A few people with whom Ive felt a strong past life connection:1. Double Cancer guy. My sun square his SN (4), his Uranus opposite my SN (4), his Venus conjunct my SN (exact), his MC sextile my SN (1), his Mars sextile my SN (4)
Obviously, his Venus on my SN was the biggest influence. I was SO in love with him, even though at first I was not attracted and kind of rolled my eyes at him. I was in love with him for a long time. We ended up working together and he eventually took a very paternal attitude towards me - in both good and bad ways. Encouraging and supportive, but also strict. (My SN is in Cancer and he is very Cancerian.) I have always and still frequently dream about him, and now my dreams of him are mainly about helping him and his wife with their new baby. I think he did have a crush on me at first but decided not to pursue it or got turned off somehow.
I seemed to feel it much more than he ever did (though who knows with a Cancer sun and moon?), and it was primarily my nodal axis that was touched. I think he was my father in a past life - just the feeling I get, though obviously you can interpret more from the aspects above, signs, houses, etc. My love for him very quickly became an asexual love, despite the fact that he is GORGEOUS like young Johnny Depp kind of gorgeous. It was and remains a more spiritual love than anything physical. I could barely stand for him to hug me, and I cant imagine ever kissing him.
2. My Virgo-Leo best friend. My Mercury (5), Moon (6), and Venus (8) opposite her SN, my Neptune (2) and Uranus (3) square her SN, my Saturn trine (3) her SN, her Neptune opposite my SN (1), her MC conjunct my SN (3), her ASC square my SN (3), her Mercury sextile my SN (4), her Pluto trine my SN (3), plus some minor aspects.
We feel this mutually. Talking to one another is like talking to our own souls. We have the same career dreams and are dedicated to helping one another attain them. We feel strongly connected even when apart and even when we dont speak for awhile. Our lives are always paralleling and we have a very psychic connection - always saying what the other is thinking at the same time, thinking of each other at the same time, going through the same mood at the same time. There are other aspects that probably influence this, but we agree we have past life connections. One we suspect is that we were monks/nuns together in a past life. We operate from the same philosophical beliefs/assumptions about life and people.
3. My spouse. (Ha! Only #3! Just goes to show not all soulmates are romantic...) My MC opposite his SN (1), my Jupiter conjunct his SN (7), my ASC sextile his SN (2), my sun trine his SN (exact), his Mars square my SN (3), his Saturn sextile my SN (1), his Jupiter trine my SN (3).
He felt it immediately, strongly, and pined for me for a long time even when I moved out of the country. I had always had a crush on him, would fantasize about him, but never considered it a possibility until I moved back. I was skeptical for much longer and held back while he rampaged ahead lol. Obviously we have this DW Jupiter-Node connection. But we agreed early on in our relationship that this was not our first lifetime together. I think he was my doctor/surgeon and probably saved my life in a past life and now I am here to return the favor.
