Past-life image
The past-life image: a warrior, conqueror or traveler who pursued a goal at any cost, left destruction in his wake and never came home. Or the opposite: a person who never dared to set out at all.
In the destiny matrix, the karmic tail describes a scenario a person brings with them and tends to repeat until they become aware of it. “Past life” here is an image that helps you see that scenario.
How 7 in the karmic tail shows up today
Today it shows up as aggression, a quick temper, a race for results in which winning brings no joy. The other version is having no goal at all: many beginnings, few things finished, and a feeling of “I’m standing still.”
Signs the lesson hasn’t been learned yet:
- Flaring up and arguing over nothing.
- An endless race with no sense of satisfaction.
- Lots of projects started and abandoned.
- A constant pull to move and change your surroundings.
