[From Past Life Astrology by Judy Hall]
"…Karma is neutral, neither 'good' nor 'bad' (although its effects may sometimes be experienced as 'bad karma' coming home to roost). What has been set in motion is having an effect that can be positive and constructive, or debilitating and, apparently destructive. Karma is not static and unchanging…Karma is active now, not just in your past…If you understand the workings of karma, you can set positive, constructive karma in motion as you fulfill your highest potential and master your karmic lessons.
[…]
Everything in your chart can be manifested constructively or destructively. Karma is purposeful, concerned with growth and evolution, rather than punishment; it is an ongoing lesson.
[…]
Three things in particular affect karma. Desire is a powerful manifester of karma. We create what we want, need, or crave. The strength of desire can transcend death and pull you back into incarnation to deal with unfinished business. It creates life scripts; plans you follow involuntarily. Much of the karma you have to deal with is from desire (or will). In the birthchart, Mars and Pluto and the aspects other planets make to them are indicators of desire and the force of your will. Purpose is what you have reincarnated to do and it can overcome destructive desires. Purpose is shown both in your Sun-sign and the North Node of the Moon. Grace often strengthens your purpose and helps it to manifest. Grace is an offer from the highest part of your being to release your karma. There are some lessons or situations that cannot be continued with, perhaps because they concern another person who is unwilling to learn. Grace says that when you have done all you can, you can let it go and no further karma will accrue. Grace is the highest vibration of your birthchart, representing your eternal, spiritual self."

(Edit: I don't know why the latter part of this post continues to bold even though I unbolded it.)
Personal Karma
-Your birth chart
-Karma specifically tied to you
-Can be overridden by:
Group or Racial Karma
-Tied to the 11th house
-Karma surrounding family, friends, races/ethnic groups
-Most people involved in group karma have incarnated into that group before
Collective Karma
-Tied to the 12th house, Pisces, and Moon in Capricorn
-Karma surrounding the human race; no is responsible for it
-Can manifest as both good and bad karma; if bad then it manifests as problems for future generations
-Certain people reincarnate to take care of clearing this karma
Cosmic Karma
-Goes beyond the birth chart
-Tied to a spiritual type of karma of the human variety
-Can override all other karma
-Manifests as new religions that take hold of the world, an urge to explore outer and inner space
-Is strongly tied to the need for each person to evolve and recognize, and take responsibility for, their part in the whole
Merit Karma
-Manifests as “easy” aspects or specific planetary placements especially linked to the 2nd house
-Essentially good karma for all the things you did right, all the lessons you learned, all insights you put into practice in past lives.
-It is money in your karmic piggy bank and often manifests as a talent in the present life
Recompense Karma
-A reward or recognition for all the things you got right in the past or for the sacrifice you made to help others
-Ex. Putting your goals or relationship(s) on hold in order to help someone else = that person coming back in another life as a good friend (you often get that “I felt like I’ve known them my entire life” type of feeling; this is also characteristic of other people who come back from your past lives) who will help you in that carnation
-Manifests as helpful planetary placements and smooth, harmonious aspects
Redemptive Karma
-Tied to the North Node in the 12th house. Also manifests with an emphasis on Neptune or the 12th house
-Karma that deals with reincarnating to help others or to do something good for the world
-Other individuals will take on the task of clearing collective karma
Retributive Karma
-Manifests as extremely challenging aspects and planetary placements. Emphasis on the 6th-12th house axis is also seen.
-Karma that boomerangs; basically an “eye for an eye” for something you did in a post life, quite literally (see “Organic Karma”)
-Ex. Chopping off a person’s hand in a past life = having a paralyzed hand or losing a hand in the present life
Attitudinal Karma
-Manifests as fixed planetary aspects and the 6th house
-Defined as attitudes passed on through past lives
- "An intransigent attitude, ingrained behavior, or an intractable or habitual emotional stance results in some form of disease, often at the physical level, during the present incarnation."
-Ex. believing there would "never be enough" could manifest as an addiction. Arterial or heart problems could develop from "hard-heartedness" or a broken heart.
-Having an attachment to an ideal may also create this karma
Organic Karma
-Indicated by the 6th house
-Is similar to Attitudinal Karma
-Manifests as injuries or conditions from past lives
-Ex. Overindulgences in a past life = obesity or liver problems in the present life
-Ex. Back injury in a past life = chronic back pain in the present life

-Can manifest as you reincarnating in order to continue a previous vocation
-Ex. "A former monk or nun would feel that they have a religious vocation in the present life, a musician the urge to continue with music.
-Or can manifest negatively: Ex. A previous lack of integrity would manifest as someone who is cheated in this life, is cheated by someone. Having been a factory owner who's inadequate safety measures were responsible for many deaths could underlie an urge to be a safety or fire officer in the present life."
-Positive work karma can manifest as skills that can be used in the present life
-Technological karma comes from making "ethical decisions, about the use or misuse, of technical--or fighting against the introduction of new technology. It can relate to all periods but may go back in time as far as Atlantis or, more recently, to the Industrial and Technological Revolutions and their effects on people's lives."
Symbolic Karma

-Ideological Karma: Attachment to a belief no matter how worthy. Imposing beliefs on other people can also create this karma. The beliefs may be religious, philosophical, or purely secular.
-"Karma Hypocrisy: Having said or done things a certain way, while believing something different, so does the "anything for a quiet life" approach. Hypocrisy rises from a lack of spiritual conviction and inner truth, or betrayal of truth.
-Karma of Mockery: Mocking other people’s afflictions, thoughts and beliefs, or actions gives rise to the karma of mockery, it is based on not valuing that another person’s beliefs…The person who mocks often finds him or herself living out in the present life the circumstances he or she despised so much in a past life."
Sins of Omission and Commission
-Indicated by difficult, “hard” aspects or an emphasis on the 6th house

Other Karma
I found this on an astrology site. I could not find any of them in the astrology book I was quoting and paraphrasing above.
"Karma of aggression
Chart indicators: square's in cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn), with Mars and it's superior octave, Pluto.
This type of karma shows that the person in the past lives had a bad use of energy like: instinctive behaviour, aggression, violent impulses, domination and manipulation tenderise used in tiranic ways (bad leaders), egocentrism, irrational motivations that led to scandal, wrong canalization of energy, cruelty etc.
Mars in the chart shows how the person manifested this type of karma and it's possible to repeat it worsens in the actual life (still showed by the squares and Mars). Pluto in the chart shows how this karma can be burned and to use the energy in good way, fighting yourself to beat the instincts and the aggressive impulses, learning the lesson of peace, calm, meditation and love.
Usually this karma gives in the actual life negative events like: frequently occurring accidents, injuries and burns; being victim of violent and cruel persons; fast and violent breaking of relationships; sexual problems, painful health disorders etc.. If a person has squares, T-Square's or Mystic Square's in cardinal sign's this type of karma is enabled.
Karma of possessive attachment
Chart indicators: squares in fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius), with Venus and it's superior octave, Neptune. This type of karma shows that the person in the past lives had been excessive attached to money, persons and possessions.
Most of the time this karma show's that in past life's, the materialism and satisfying owns desire's was something important, the person was to attached to something that led making the loved ones unhappy because of selfishness. Venus in the chart show's how the person manifested this type of karma and it's possible to repeat it worsen in the actual life (still showed by the squares and Venus).
Neptune in the chart shows how this karma can be burned and to learn the lessons of detachment, acceptation, compassion, spirituality and to love without asking in return.
Usually this karma gives in the actual life negative events like: losing someone you love, poorness, losing objects you are attached, being victim of selfish persons, lots of personal illusions, long health disorders etc. If a person has squares, T-Square's or Mystic Square's in fixed sign's this type of karma is enabled. Karma of ignorance: hard indicators: squares in mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces ), with Mercury and it's superior octave, Uranus.
This type of karma shows that the person in the past lives had been to ignorant, to rebellious, he/she wanted to be free and have no duties doing all what he likes even if he/she breaks the freedom of others.
They refused duties, they lie often, sometimes breaks laws by ignoring the consequences and usually this karma is manifested in the most forms in cruel teasing (laughing on Someone’s mistakes or physical defects) or being to chaotic and influential.
Mercury in the chart shows how the person manifested this type of karma and it's possible to repeat it worsen in the actual life( still showed by the squares and mercury). Uranus in the chart shows how this karma can be burned and to learn how to be disciplined, responsible on duties, practical and to learn the lesson of respect.
Usually this karma gives in the actual life negative events like: errors, bad luck, loosing exams on school, high-school and university, bad luck on social life and career, speech and nervous disorder, being victim of cruel teasing, being victim of lies, bad friends etc. If a person has squares, T-Square's or Mystic Square's in mutable sign's this type of karma is enabled.
While this is not of my own personal perception and alignment when it comes to astrology and its study I still never the less find it a most fascinating topic - worthy of study, review and for some implementation." (X)

"Karmic Lessons in Childhood:
In childhood the soul reiterates and reinforces many karmic patterns, especially around self-worth and nurturing. It meets the archetypal parents it has grown to expect, and may have the opportunity of moving out of deeply ingrained parental interactions.
The First House shows the expectations with which the incarnating soul faces life in a physical body and the environment in which it finds itself. It may also indicate a soul who has chosen to have a particularly difficult childhood or who has taken on some burden or responsibility in childhood. Issues of will and power make themselves felt in infancy, and then carry over into adult life. Such issues almost always have their roots in a past life.
Self-Worth and Self-Image:
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.
Fathering Karma:
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.
Family Karma:
The fourth-tenth house axis of the chart shows karma with the family, and the type of family interaction into which the soul expects to incarnate. “Heavy” planets such as Saturn or Pluto indicate difficult karma, “easy” planets such as Jupiter indicate the expectation of good parenting. Pluto, especially in aspect to the Moon, may indicate an archetypal expectation of the “devouring mother” figure. If the Sun or Moon falls in the Seventh House of the chart, then it is likely that the soul is changing its interaction with a parent. The past lives may have involved a sexual relationship with the present, or, in the present life, the soul mate take on being an emotional or surrogate partner to the parent rather than acting as a child. With the Sun or Moon are in the karmic twelfth house, the incarnation with the parent signified is old and deep.
Mothering Karma:
Aspects to the Moon indicate the image of the Mother that the soul carries from life to life. It is the archetypal picture of what the soul expects. As the soul is “programmed,” experiences that reinforce the picture tend to be noticed and those that are difficult are often disregarded. Part of the challenge is for the soul to find a new expectation.
Expectations of Parenting:
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 “Wounded Warrior”:
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."
