Yes, Astrology for the Soul by Jan Spiller, Bantum Books, 1997 (although there are later editions, I believe) is a very good beginning.

There are some particular tarot spreads which I've seen used to great effect by good tarot readers. Konraad's Past Lives spread is one such. It is a large and quite complex spread, however. It is better, I think, to get someone to do this reading with you.

Sometimes you can get a sense of past lives through particular issues you're dealing with in your current life but this is a little hard to make sense of without a great deal of patience and insight and you can never be sure.

There are some guided meditations which can give interesting clues as well.

Just incidentally, I love poetry and have often thought I'd love to be a good poet but have never really made the time or effort to work towards this. I read somewhere jist recently that this might mean that I might have been a poet in a past life and am simply feeling a little 'homesick' for the echoes of that life .

Who knows? But intuitively that rang with some truth.

Good luck in your exploration ( to the original poster). You may come to the same realisation as I - that it is really this life which matters, and what we do with the time and capacity we have.

All the best.
