One very good help of astrology in terms of raising one’s awareness of one’s “lessons” in some particular incarnation is the utilization of astrological interpretation of one’s “moon nodes.”
One of the best resources that I can advise you to utilize in this subject matter is “Astrology for the Soul” by Jan Spiller. Please ascertain your “lunar north node” in the below table and than proceed to read the interpretations for that sign below that. These interpretations are the beginning summaries (given by Spiller herself) of the full interpretations, so if you like the interpretation, please buy the book to read detailed analysis of your north node (the book is over 600 pages as I remember, so divide that by 12 signs to guess around how many pages for each sign’s interpretation) . You will notice that this particular tool of astrology is amazingly relevant to the issue of one’s “spiritual lessons” in one’s particular incarnation. I’m not an astrology expert but I can probably answer many of your questions on the subject.
People around me, my family members in particular, were very positively influenced by these north node interpretations.
The book was translated into many languages by the way.
