Meaning of Past Lives in the Osho Zen Tarot

Card No. 18

This is a somewhat ambiguous card of the Osho Zen tarot, one that can sometimes be misinterpreted or misunderstood. It generally announces that it is sometimes hard to live with the mistakes made in the past, and above all not to repeat them. On the initiatory journey of the Fool, the Past Lives card teaches him to observe and analyse the discontinuous cyclical pattern of his life, and to understand even better where his roots come from. For him too, the message this card sends him is not so simple to decipher, when it is only a call for a certain leap forward in order to free himself from the weight of the past, and thus reach wisdom.

The Past Lives card, without being sinister, is nonetheless rather dark. It is above all the images of the past held within what looks like a mother’s womb that seem as negative as they are plaintive. Fortunately, this drop of water filled with faces from another era is encircled by the hands of existence, which for their part are more than positive. The two rainbow-coloured lizards sitting below represent the present and are the guardians of consciousness.

In a divinatory reading, the Past Lives card urges you to be very careful that what you achieve today does not turn out to be harmful tomorrow. It also pushes you to check that your relationships are truly constructive.

❤️ The Past Lives card in Love ❤️

You are in a relationship

The Past Lives card is neither positive nor negative, it simply puts its finger on a few tricky points, especially when it comes to emotional relationships. So it often encourages you to set aside the misfortunes of the past, in order to fully live a new loving union.

You must therefore keep your past actions and what you may have endured at a distance, to avoid repeating them or living through them again. From then on, if your relationship is truly constructive, happiness will hold out its arms to you.

You are single

The weights of the past are often heavier than we imagine, and they sometimes take an important place in our present lives. Too important, bordering on suffocation.

That is why the Past Lives card encourages you to forget the misfortunes suffered in the past, in order to focus on the present, where you will turn them into an experience that can only help you move forward and finally find love again.

🍏 The Past Lives card in Health 🍏

Forget the misunderstandings and the bad choices that may have caused you a lot of harm where health is concerned. What matters now is to move the situation forward through new decisions, so that the previous ones do not follow you along your destiny.

🧘 Spiritual interpretation of the Past Lives card 🧘

It is never easy to set things aside, but we must all understand that the unhappy things we went through in the past must not interfere with our present, otherwise they will follow us along our destiny, and even into our soul’s next journey towards the eternal infinite and the beginning of the new cycle of our existence.
