Karmic astrology is basically what it sounds like: karma tied to astrology and your birth chart. Astrology in general may make mention of karma every now and again when talking about Saturn and the 12th house, but in actuality, the entire birth chart—every sign, house placement, and aspect—is indicative of karma accumulated from your past lives. Now, not all karma is bad, some of it may be good. But for the most part, astrologists and other professionals in the metaphysics tend to focus exclusively on bad karma possibly because that’s the type of karma that is the most challenging and far-reaching. Whatever the case may be, here are some things you should know about karmic astrology from this book titled Past Life Astrology by Judy Hall:
"The Sun: Karmic problems center around the loss of a sense of self and personal value. There maybe difficulties in self-expression, together with an underlying need to reconnect to who and what you are at your deepest source.
The soul incarnates with a prosperity toward a particular self-image. This has been built up over many lifetimes. Childhood experience may reinforce that experience or often an opportunity to build a new self-image. The amount of confidence a soul has is directly linked to self-image and former life experiences. Some souls incarnate with the task melding various self-images from different lives to find a picture of true worth—shown in several outer planet aspects to the sun.
Aspects to the Sun indicate the image of the Father that the soul carries from life to life. It is the archetypical picture of what the soul expects. As the soul is “pre-programmed,” experiences that reinforce the picture tend to be noticed while those that are different are often disregarded. Part of the challenge is for the soul to find a new expectation.
The Moon: The moon is linked to the soul’s image of the Mother and maternal feelings that pass from life to life.

*Outer planet aspects to the Sun and Moon show the kind of parenting you expect, and whether this will support you or not. Some souls have had good experiences with parenting, others have not. Such experiences affect the soul’s self-image and confidence. When Chiron aspects the Sun or Moon, parenting has been deeply wounding and the soul has to heal the experience of the past. Aspects to the Moon from the outer planets also show specific emotional patterns that the soul has carried from life to life. These are instinctual, instinctive, ingrained reactions they will make themselves known in childhood and may well involve the parents.*
"The Mercury: It describes how the soul communicates and shows how the mind has been used in the past. It can also indicate karma with siblings.
How the soul has communicated in the past is brought forward as an expectation that "this the way to do it." The challenge may be to change the expectation or to use hidden abilities wisely.
The Venus: Venus also describes how an incarnating soul feels about itself, whether it believes it is worthy of love, and what it values...Venusian karma occurs in social interaction and intimacy. Venus indicates how the external feminine principle has been expressed in the past.
How the soul has experienced love in a past life comes forward as a love script that needs to be reprogrammed through relationships in the present.
The Mars: Mars shows how assertive the soul will be in pursuing goals and objective. It describes experiences with war and aggression in the past, with lust for conquest, and how the drive toward self-preservation manifests.
How well will and power have been handled, and whether the soul has learned assertion skills or aggressive tendencies, its indicated by outer planet contacts. Assertiveness is an asset whereas aggression can pull back the soul into old battles. Whether the soul expects to be able to use its will is shown in these aspects; old powerlessness and helplessness can dis-empower the soul, for instance, while past life willfulness needs to be balanced out.
*There are planetary pointers in certain outer planet contacts carried over from past lives, particularly those at opposite ends of experience, that create a dilemma or paradox for the soul to solve. When the planets are in difficult aspect, the soul will have been struggling to resolve the difficulty for many lives. Such dilemmas need to be resolved in the present life.*
The Jupiter: Jupiter shows where the soul must grow. But with Jupiter there is always the possibility of excess. The planet reveals the over indulgences of the past and shows where compensation must be made. This planet is connected to travel and philosophy and has to do with both secular and religious karma […] If Jupiter is blocked, then the soul has lost its creative ability. Jupiter is connected to “old tapes” from previous lives that may need to be reprogrammed before the soul can grow.
The Chiron: Chiron shows where the soul carries a karmic wound, where we wound ourselves, where we are wounded by and the wound by others. It is where the soul must heal and shows energies that must be integrated...Chiron is the key to resolving the paradox and wounds of past lives.
In the chart, Chiron indicates where renunciation may be required, where opposites and paradoxes have to be reconnected, where integration is needed, and where the soul must give up its suffering. This planet indicates the soul’s wound that has been carried from life to life but it is also where the soul must heal.
The Uranus: It is the catalytic planet of chaos and change, the karmic awakener. It moves the soul out of its rut and into what may be. Uranian karma has to do with rebellion and revolution. It is where the soul tries to bring in new ideas and to use intuitive understanding of the world. Uranus is the technological planet and may indicate karma in this area.
The Neptune: Neptune is vision—and escapism. It may reveal karma to do with addictions and suffering—and where the soul tried to evade these.
The Pluto: It has to do with all that the soul has tried to hide from itself. It is what must be eliminated and transformed. It shows where abuses and misuses of power occurred, and indicated the need for soul-empowerment.
The Saturn: It shows karmic burdens and responsibilities, where it is necessary to overcome limitations and to transcend the boundaries of what has been possible up to now. This planet shows karmic wisdom and indicated the karmic lessons the soul must master through life.
The Moon’s Nodes: Indicate the karmic purpose of the incarnation soul, what that soul has been through in the past. The North Node is a challenge to break new ground and to grow out of the South Node, which indicates what is known and comfortable.
The North Node points to the path the soul must take on the present stage of evolution, the South Node to all that has gone before. The Nodes are the indicators of karmic purpose, a challenge to integrate opposites and to grow.
The North Node is where the soul must follow its destiny, the so-far untraveled way. It is the potential for the present life, the karma that can be sown for the future. Through the North Node, the soul takes responsibility got its own actions, moving harmony with karmic purpose.
The South Node is what has been sown, the karma of the past. It indicates survival strategies that have served the soul well in the past. The soul is comfortable with the South Node because it is known so well. The soul retreats there when challenged, and it would be wrong to move the soul totally into the North Node without taking all that is good and useful of the South Node along too. But there are aspects of the South Node that need to be eliminated."
Some important things to note:
*Venus and Jupiter are typically tied to good karma especially when they are in “easy” aspect (sextile, trine, conjunction (this depends on the other planet involved)) to other planets.
*All the outer planets safe for Jupiter are usually tied to bad karma especially when they are in “hard” aspect (square, opposition, conjunction (this depends on the other planet involved)) to other planets, malefic or not.
* Saturn is considered to be the “King” of karma.
