Astrological Intention and Past Lives

if there is ANY validity to the idea that "past lives" are reflected in Astrology -- then the only way this can make sense

would be that there must be (in one form or another) some "intention" to find a time that is reflective of the past life history of the Native 

it would not seem reasonable to build past lives on the energy of the chart alone -- that history must PRECEED the birth and therefore the time must be CHOSEN

consciously chosen

so the chart is "correct"

in order to accommodate the prior incarnational "essence"

if so, then something or someone

has to be DOING THE CHOOSING
