What is Ancestral Tree? And why do we need to know about it?
We all came here with ancestral karma – the tree has roots. After death, the souls of the departed do not disappear without a trace, the informational and genetic connection between them and their descendants is preserved.
Most of the ancient traditions recognized the significance of the ancestral influence on the descendants. In Greek mythology, for example, seven generations of Tantalus paid for his sin of killing an infant.
Nowadays, almost no one argues that talents, abilities and many psychological qualities can be inherited. Astrologers are showing us that descendants inherit not only diseases, external signs and talents of their ancestors, but in many cases, fate itself, often paying for the sins of their fathers, grandfathers, and great-grandfathers. The genealogical research of the criminologist Cesare Lombroso convincingly showed that maniacs, rapists and brutal murderers had criminals in the family before.
The cumulative influence of seven generations of ancestors in the Zoroastrian Avesta astrological tradition has been called the “genoscopeâ€, which differs significantly from the individual horoscope. Genoscope is akin to our understanding of fate, and if the person doesn’t consciously manifest their personal individual qualities, he or she will step into their family’s proverbial shoes and act out a familial script. Their life will appear to be hijacked by their past.
If a person has spiritual strength and consciously works to clear and heal the familial fate, then they can sometimes completely block the influence of a genoscope, freeing themselves from the yoke of karmic momentum accumulated by his ancestors for seven generations.
This happens when a person steps fully into their own power, takes responsibility for their own life, lives a joyous and meaningful life, and raises their children the same way.
Much more often, people to one degree or another become “victims†of their own ancestors and live but variations of a genoscope, a kind of potpourri from the destinies of their ancestors.
There are several signs of an active genoscope:
- The seeming absence of the influence of the individual horoscope – when the rhythms of persons own birth date have little or no effect on a person;
- The repetition of the ancestral fate, the manifestation of hereditary diseases, psychological complexes and problems of the older generation;
- Repetition of ancestral signatures – moles, birthmarks;
- The coincidence of the date of birth with the date of birth or death of the ancestors;
- Birth of a child prematurely (less than 7 months) or post-term (10 months);
- Frequent contact with dead ancestors through dreams.
If a majority of the above signs take place in a person life, then we can expect with a high degree of probability that his individual destiny will largely depend on the genoscope, the collective karma of the ancestors.
It might be difficult for such a person to manifest their own individuality; instead, they may unconsciously develop as one of the ancestors who has the biggest influence on them.
Working in tandem with the best ancestral representatives and Spirit Guides, a competent shaman can find the root of the ancestral patterns and help those ancestors whose influence is disastrous for a descendant, so that they and all subsequent generations may be healed.
