Read the map you arrived with.

In evolutionary astrology, the south node of the Moon points to themes carried in from prior lifetimes — patterns of comfort, attachment and unfinished story — while the north node points to the growth edge of this incarnation. Together they trace a line of evolutionary direction, often called the "soul axis".

A reincarnation map session reads that axis closely: the nodes by sign, house and ruler; the south-node planets that mark old habits; the north-node planets that mark the work this time around. The result is a portrait of what the soul brought, and what it came here to learn.
