Hmm, usually I would say: Stick to ONE mythology (in this case Babylonion), but as it is, the Babylonian was very mixed with the Egyptian, so think it could be significant. Well, in my case I have limited it mostly to Babylonian.

I also think conjunctions to DNA, MOON, ASC and TRUE NODE and maybe SATURN and also NAMEASTEROIDS might be most significantly pointing at a past life:

In my case:

DNA conjunct BABEL (and BABYLON)
MOON conjunct UR
SN conjunct INNANEN

To look for evidence of a past life I would look to conjunctions and oppositions; the other aspects might either emphasise the theme further or only point to an interest. But the conjunction / oppositions are the real pointers (beside the DRACO)

So in your case the strongest aspects (imo) would be:

SEMIRAMIS conjuncts NN and DNA
GILGAMESH conjunct ASCENDANT
SUMERIA conjunct NAMEASTEROID

BTW I mentioned my mum; actually her SUMERIA exactly conjuncts my SUMERIA, exactly trines the FAMILY NAME in her chart and also exactly trines my DNA and trines my BABEL.

I just think those places are so beautiful, those colours so vivid. I don`t know. I just love these pics.

Yeah its all tight orbs:
Semir is a 14 degrees Cancer:

Con Sphinx is deg Cancer
Con Sirius Star System 14 Cancer
- that is interesting, cause I read that one of the symbols of the Goddess Innanen or Ishtar was the STar of Sirius!
Where is it located btw?

"Sext NN 16 Virgo
Square DNA 13 Libra
Oppose Anubis 14 Degrees Cap
Trine Osiris 12 Pisces
Sextile Atlantis 13 Taurus
And of course Gilgamesh at 14 degrees Scorpio is doing similiar aspects."

BTW how does Babylon make you feel?

I have very distinct feelings about it. Had those even in school. I was practically growling at the mere mentioning of the name "Assyria" and thought it was the most hostile aggressive people ever. lol

Oh, they are awesome pictures. Where did you find them?!
They are beautiful!
They took my breathe away!

The carpet sounds gorgeous btw! I want one! lol

Oh and Ishtar is at 17 Cap, conjunct Anubis at 14 deg Cap. and opposing Semir and Sphinx and Sirius!
Oh boy, Innanen is in 0 Gemini Conjunct the Pleiades/Alcyone Star system.
How interesting. Semir is Conjunct Sirius. Innanen is Conjunct Alcyone.

"The Hanging Gardens of Babylon, also known as the Hanging Gardens of Semiramis, near present-day Al Hillah in Iraq (formerly Babylon), is considered one of the original Seven Wonders of the World. They were built by Nebuchadnezzar II around 600 BC. He is reported to have constructed the gardens to please his wife, Amytis of Media, who longed for the trees and fragrant plants of her homeland Persia.[1] The gardens were destroyed by several earthquakes after the 2nd century BC.
The lush Hanging Gardens are extensively documented by Greek historians such as Strabo and Diodorus Siculus. Through the ages, the location may have been confused with gardens that existed at Nineveh, since tablets from there clearly show gardens. Writings on these tablets describe the possible use of something similar to an Archimedes' screw as a process of raising the water to the required height"

Archimedes in conjunct my descendent by one degree and squares my Eureka. Which is conjunct my IC by 2 degrees.

"The Archimedes' screw, Archimedean screw, or screwpump is a machine historically used for transferring water from a low-lying body of water into irrigation ditches. It was one of several inventions and discoveries traditionally attributed to Archimedes in the 3rd century BC."
"The "screw" does not necessarily need to turn inside the casing, but can be allowed to turn with it in one piece. A screw could be sealed with Pitch resin or some other adhesive to its casing, or, cast as a single piece in bronze, as some researchers have postulated as being the devices used to irrigate Nebuchadnezzar II's Hanging Gardens of Babylon. The Hanging Gardens were one of the 7 Wonders. Depictions of Greek and Roman water screws show the screws being powered by a human treading on the outer casing to turn the entire apparatus as one piece, which would require that the casing be rigidly attached to the screw."

Amytis is at 4 Degrees Virgo conjunct my Saturn at 7 degrees VIrgo in the 10th house. Which forms a loose Stellium with my Angel asteroid at 11 Virgo and my NN at 16 Virgo.
But get this DD it opposes my name Asteroid exactly at 4 degrees Pisces!

She was from Media and my name is the name of the Medo-Persian King Darius.

Eureka! (no pun intended)

My family name is at 2 Pisces.

Wow, wow, I have to read it all through againg.

But I wanted to tell you I am sorry. I didn`t want to come across as arrogant or "preachy". But I guess I can`t get rid of the teacher inside me.

just thought that it makes the most sense to look at those really tight aspects, as only those are unique. But of course anyone can do it their way.

DD:
Thats interesting. And we have similiar connections in our charts too!
Maybe we played in the hanging gardens together.
I can totally see that, lol.

"Oh and Ishtar is at 17 Cap, conjunct Anubis at 14 deg Cap. and opposing Semir and Sphinx and Sirius!"
My Saturn is in 17 Cancer!

"Yes! I remember those feelings about Assyria. But I thought it was because they were such a bad people. I was always happy when I read a bible story about them being conquered"
Exactly what I thought! I always felt an almost personal, hard to understand animosity towards them. But interestingly I alwas liked Ninive. Don`t know why.

I haven`t been brought up in a very religious household, but I remember that I have been reading the bible quite often (on my own accord, noone ever forced me), and those stories, also the one about Nebukadnezar, I read again and again. And one of the stories that captured my imagination most beside the the hanging gardens and the tower, was the story about the prophet Jona and Ninive.

I also was fascinated by Solomo and the queen of Sheba. Actually once a girl, who used to tease me in real nasty ways (and I had let her for three years without even talking back), shouted at me: "You are not the queen of Sheba." And I -maybe 9 years old- told her "But once I was." and then slapped her hard across her face, which left her utterly shocked, and me, too, actually.
But from that moment on she didn`t try to cross me openly anymore.
The funny thing is that Sheba actually conjuncts my Sun on the GC!

You made me think of that, when you told me about your connection to Amytis.

Oh yes, another Persian King, very fascinating, too.
I have a pupil in my class with the name Dario, and I mistakenly called him Darius once. lol
I also have a girl in my class, who is from Iran, but strangely, when I read her name, I asked her if her parents were Persian, and she agreed.
I don`t know why I used the ancient name, but she seemed to identify with it more than with the modern name.

They were:

o kis s(e)ar

And Kis-ah means "Sacred place"

(in German you wouldn`t speak the e)

But in English the pronounciation of my misspelled words would be with a long - e-, which is the German - i-, so the second half could also be related to "see or si".

kis means: total, complete

I think the Gilgamesh connections are the strongest in your chart.

As it sits on your SN and Pluto and opposes your Saturn and Venus - there seems to be some Karma attached to that.
Have you ever felt any connection to the epos?

Also, Babylon opposes your name, even though the orb is a tad wide, but still seems relevant, espeically since it is interwoven into the Gilgamesh-connection.

So we have a cluster of
Babylon
Gilgamesh
Pluto
Saturn,
NN
Venus
your name
Isis

I would count Isis, too, as it seems to me she stretches over from one myth to the other.
Of cousre she belongs to the Egyptian; but the Romans also knew and participated in the Isis-cult in the 1st century.
And Isis also has been known to the Babylonian. Actually I found that there existed a word "ISIS" in their language. It means: to laugh, too weep.
It embraces the whole spectre of emotions I guess, from happiness to sadness.

Is there any asteroid (preferably of a place or person) conjunct or even opposite your DNA? IQ once said that this is one of the most clear hints to a past life, while the other aspects like trine or sextile rather imply a strong interest.
