i'm a Piscean as well :)

Oops, forgot to mention that I am a Virgo... I know souls from all over the spectrum too. It's possible that there is a connection, but I do not know them. Also, be wary about those who just pop out and say that they are old... Usually those who are won't be blatant (sp) about it, but will give subtle hints. There are many who think they are, but that's their ego talking...

I've always thought we go through the whole Zodiac, maybe even many times. I'm an Aries with Cancer rising and a Gemini moon in the 12th house. I agree that we possibly choose to come in under a certain configuration to help us learn what it is we came to work on this time. They say spiritual evolution is in a spiral shape, so sometimes we seem to be ahead of our companions, sometimes behind, sometimes above, sometimes below.

Well, its initially an attractive idea perhaps to some people. Ive known a few people, born "later" in astrological sunsign terms, who seem to believe that because they were born during sun sign of pisces they view pisces and themselves as the oldest and wisest people inherently because of or connected with their sun or other astrological sign.

My own feeling is that is nonsense. Akin to racism, sexism, etc where some people believe that certain races, genders, etc are somehow spiritually or otherwise overall superior or inferior, more or less blessed or wiser by virtue of that particular group of beings they happened to be born into.
Intuitively, that feels like misguided arrogant spiritual egoism to believe we are wiser based on something which cannot be changed in this lifetime. Its essentially another version of a caste system like indias, where people are discriminated against and judged inherently inferior in some essential ways based simply on external conditions of their birth.

To regurgitate, er reITerate, there are a lot of "old coots" out there who have been a little of everything at one point in time or another. The trick to it all, and whether it be a mere learning of a lesson to breaking an accursed life-cycle, is to rise beyond the normal perceptions of the Sleepers, and go wherever you may choose. I've been told by other fellow old souls that this may well be my final time around here. After this is anyone's guess. I had a really bad habit perpetually of rushing off to the aid of my fellow countrymen in some patriotic fugue of warlike bloodlust. Vietnam, Germany, France, Tibet, Japan, Romania, whatever. Not this time, buddy! I learned the very long and arduous way....
