Past life incest
I truly hope that past lives don't exist (even though my religion is all, "they most certainly DO"). I find the idea of them to be REALLY depressing.
That said, about the one thing that ever convinces me that past lives exist for sure is astrology. Because sometimes just looking at charts, I am like, "WHOA."
For example, me and Mom and our opposite nodes. (Which this site claims is a sign of soul mates. Eeek, I say.) She has Venus right on her north node, which means it's on my south node.
Supposedly having a planet on your north node is supposed to help you go towards that goal. Lovely for her (though I certainly don't think it's happening), but crap for me.
I don't like to be the person who is all, "Planets on the south node hold you back in synastry, man, it's baaad!" I loathe that interpretation. That said, it does feel that way with my mother. I've read interpretations that amount to "you were star-crossed lovers in a former life" and to some degree, given how I feel practically married to her, obligated to her, in charge of her...yeah, seems right.
Ugh, married to my mother, though...
I find Venus conjunct NORTH node to be very attractive- enough to make me think, "I need to end up with someone with Venus at the end of Virgo or start of Libra...paging all fall birthday boys!" But south, argh.
