Evolutionary Astrology (EA) is a branch of Western Astrology that was founded by Steven Forrest and Jeffrey Wolf Green. A fundamental principle of EA is that the birth chart reveals deep soul dynamics that have been in play since before the current lifetime. History is depicted in the chart. Going beyond personality descriptions, EA reveals why you have the chart you do and how to utilize the "tools" you were born with (The specific chart placements).
Along with this deeper understanding of motivation, EA also helps to unveil the way forward. Each soul has lessons to learn in this school of life. The birth chart serves as a map to empower choice and self actualization. Far beyond just describing the personality, EA can reveal the medicine the soul needs in this lifetime.
It might be helpful to give a simple example of how this might look. Consider a man with a Leo Sun, for instance. Just with that basic information, one can start to imagine qualities this man might possess simply based on popular astrological interpretations of Leo and one’s own personal experience with other Leo individuals…warm, outgoing, magnetic, ambitious, boisterous, likes the stage, etc. These are quite often accurate descriptors, but why would a soul be born in the sign of Leo? What kinds of experiences might attract a soul to this particular energy?
As a general rule, Leo individuals are in need of applause and acceptance in this lifetime. The soul needs the experience of shining and feeling embraced and appreciated in that shining. The reason for this sacred need is most often due to past life wounding and trauma related to self-expression (think of those burned at-the-stake through history). The chart would reveal more detail around this wounding. But essentially the soul is needing to brave revealing the heart, to risk being seen again. Can you see how this would be medicine for a soul?
Evolutionary Astrology can serve to bring transformation, insight, self-acceptance and validation. And to benefit from EA, one does not need to have a belief in reincarnation. EA can just as easily be translated to a hereditary or generational framework. The point either way is that we are not blank slates when we enter this life.
