The soldier has his south node (past lives) in Aries (war) and claims he has had many lives as a soldier. Stories like this one make you a believer…
“Yeah the teacher, Mrs WEIN-STEIN told my mother I danced to the beat of a different drummer and I got in a lot of trouble for that. I don’t know what the hell was wrong with me, I couldn’t figure out what was going on. For example, when I was in second grade I was in a play. The play was Little Red Riding Hood,” he said in Spanish. “And I played the hunter that was supposed to run around and hunt the wolf.”
I laughed at the casting.
“Yeah, so I was supposed to run around and chase this wolf on the stage. But I guess I didn’t run fast enough, or I didn’t feel like running or something because I ran so slow the wolf wound up behind me. See what I mean? I am supposed to be chasing the thing but I am so slow the wolf is now behind me.”
I roared. Slow Taurus, right?
“So I had this rifle they gave me,” he said.
“You had a rifle?”
“Yeah, I had a rifle. They gave me a rifle to play the part so I took the butt of it and slammed it into the wolf behind me and then turned around and stabbed at him with the bayonet.”
I started laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing. “Oh my God. That’s the funniest thing I’ve ever heard in my life.”
“Yeah, but hell. I didn’t know what was going on. I grew up with two languages and I wasn’t sure what Little Red Riding Hood was. But I did save her but then I got in a lot of trouble and I had no idea why. I didn’t really know exactly what a play was. I wasn’t sure but that’s what I did and there was a lot of talk about it for reasons I could not understand, plus they got the whole thing on tape.
I laughed for 5 minutes. “How can anyone think you are not supposed to be a soldier?” I asked.
“I don’t know that either. I have no idea. I just know if the guy is behind you, then you butt him with the back of your rifle, turn around and stab him with the bayonet, what the hell else would you do?”
Lol, another cute story:) The soldier’s self-deprecating sense of humor is very charming!

With the South Node in Taurus (3rd house), I started singing before I was 2 years old. My astonished parents caught some of it on tape, and I suspect they plan to play it for my wedding some day:o) I still sing; it gives me great joy, and in addition, I’ve always found it therapeutic (SN conjunct Chiron). I was in a choir for ten years up until my late teens. I could probably have turned professional, but my North Node wanted it differently – when I was 10 I told people I wanted to be a researcher;) The nodes are very fascinating indeed:) I’ve read J. Spiller’s book and it was tantamount to a revelation;)
LOL too funny!
