Determining past and future lives through your chart

[omkara]

hi all
I came across some very interesting literature a few days back while reading mantreshwara's phaladeepika on ways to determine past and future lives through an individuals chart. If my memory serves me right, various significations of 9th house in the chart hold a key to unravelling your past karmas and life, whereas the significations of the 5th house unravell the future lives. I am a novice in this field, hence I am unable to elaborate too much on the topic, I will post material from phaladeepika in the thread for everyone's perusal. In the mean time I would appreciate if all the learned members of this forum could take some time out to enlighten us further with their knowledge.

Thank You,

Omkara.
