the term Mnemosyne is derived from the same source as the word mnemonic, that being the Greek word mnēmē, which means "remembrance, memory".
⤷ named after the Greek goddess of memory and inspiration (and also music, poetry and the arts, storytelling, languages). she was the mother of the nine muses and she was a powerful and important goddess. memory was a fundamental gift for the ancient Greeks. memory doesn’t only mean to remember but also to foresee the future. Mnemosyne was a very important goddess because of this. she was ‘the one who knows everything, what was, what is, and what will be’. she was as important as venus to the ancient Greeks. Mnemosyne had absolute control and divine authority over memories. she also helped the dead by allowing them to regain the memories of their past lives.
✎ In astrology, wherever Mnemosyne is in your chart, it tells you what you have remembered from your past life. Mnemosyne unveils and reveals. It shows what you took with you from your past life as some sort of ‘rememberance’. I recommend you checking your Mnemosyne in your southnode persona chart if you’d like to know about your past life. another interpretation of Mnemosyne in astrology is that it shows how you inspire people and what you are remembered for. whatever house this asteroid is in, those house themes most likely impact you and your life in a way, most likely because of your past life. Mnemosyne in a chart (depending on the aspects) can also give you the ability to foresee the future like seeing visions.

⎯⎯ ୨ SIGNS & HOUSES ୧ ⎯⎯
MNEMOSYNE IN ARIES / 1ST HOUSE — those with this placement are remembered for their boldness, fighter-like mindset, strength, bravery and leadership, most people with this placement especially in 1st house are remembered for their attractive appearance and beauty. their beauty is hard to forget, the type that stains your mind and never leaves. and you don’t want it to leave your mind, really. It’s a blessing to even lay your eyes on them. these people’s beauty impacts people’s lives. for good and for bad. the good is that they can inspire other people for their beauty, for their style, for their view of life. these people are the trendsetters, the pioneers, the influencers you see online, the ‘Pinterest’ girls. they can easily motivate people with their existence, their whole being is like ‘goals’. the bad is that this can attract copycats and jealousy and can invoke insecurity in others. when it comes to past life, these people were most likely leaders or pioneers in their past life and could be naturally blessed with leadership skills or they naturally radiate leader-like aura in this lifetime. since 1st house also deals with birth and new beginnings and mnemosyne deals with past life memories, it makes this placement very interesting. these people may have chosen to not remember anything from their past lives or this is simply their first life. so everything they do in this lifetime will greatly impact their next life. another interpretation is that these people may actually know who they were in their past life, like their appearance, personality, name, identity. they could have similar appearance or name as they had in their past life, too. interestingly, these people could get hints of their past life from themselves like their appearance and body (birthmarks!!). they should pay attention to their birthmarks if they have any (search about birthmarks and past lives). they could have the same scars as they did in their past life too. they should also pay attention to their body as it tells them about their past life. for example, if they have weak hands they may have fought a lot in their past life or they worked in labour.
MNEMOSYNE IN TAURUS / 2ND HOUSE — those with this placement are remembered for their sensuality, materialism, art, loyalty, practicality, determination and stubbornness. most people with this placement are remembered for their money and resources. the things they own, people remember. It is difficult stealing anything from them. everything these people touch and own, other people want. they make everything look good. people with this placement reminds me of runway models, their straight faces looking ahead, wearing clothing that give the vibe that you can’t touch them or have what they’re wearing. I’d say these placements are also the influencers along with aries but these are the type of influencers that share pictures of themselves always looking good and relaxing #acaibowl #spa #selfcare #bali. these people inspire others by showing their resources, possessions, wealth, and showing that it is okay to indulge and relax and to appreciate the little things in life, that it is okay to treat yourself. when it comes to past life, these people were most likely rich and didn’t have to worry about money much because they were secure, they had freedom. they could’ve been spoiled a lot or they were too reckless with their money spendings. because of that, in this lifetime, these individuals may be naturally talented with money managing, saving money or counting money or anything to do with finance. they could be careful with what they spend their money on. In this lifetime, these individuals may have a “rich” aura and may have a great eye for beauty and art which they also had in their past life. they could own similar items as they did in their past life or have similar tastes as they did in their past life (same likes and dislikes). they should pay attention to the items they own or feel drawn to and their likes and dislikes as this could tell them about their past life. for example, if they feel drawn to a piece of artwork by a famous artist, they could be the artist in their past life or they admired the same art piece in their past life or they knew the artist.
MNEMOSYNE IN GEMINI / 3RD HOUSE — those with this placement are remembered for their wit, intelligence, curiosity and communication. most people with this placement are remembered for their words as they most likely say interesting things and give good advice. this placement could also indicate amazing writing skills, their words just stain your mind. the things these people say to you stick with you for years. they’re the type to get their catchphrases copied or have their quotes shared, when people say ‘someone once told me..’ these people are that someone. they inspire people by their words, showing that it is okay to speak your mind and ask endless questions, write about anything you desire and that you should not resist change. they show that communication is important and so are connections with other people because the more you speak with other people, the more knowledge you get. when it comes to past life, these people may have been writers or public speakers so these people could be naturally good at writing and speaking because of that. these people may also know a lot of random facts and know definitions for lots of words, these people have good memory. It is also possible that in their past life, they were a young child and was curious about the world but may have been restricted. because of that, they’re much more curious this lifetime as their thirst for knowledge has continued to this lifetime. or maybe in their past life, they couldn’t speak their mind or they enraged many people by speaking so in this life they want to be outspoken as possible and to have freedom of speech. these people could experience times where they’re like “oh I thought I learnt this before?”. these people should pay attention to what topics they’re most interested in or want to get more knowledge on (especially when they were younger) as they can get hints about their past life. for example, if they were unexplainably way too interested in planes when they were younger, they could’ve been a pilot or fixed planes in their past life. these people should also pay attention to their thoughts, their words and their writing. If they use words like ‘thy, thou, thine’ or is interested in that type of language then they might have been an Elizabethan in their past life. since the 3rd house deals with neighbours and siblings, these individuals may have similar neighbours/siblings as they did in their past life.
MNEMOSYNE IN CANCER / 4TH HOUSE — those with this placement are remembered for their nurturing, empathetic, emotional, protective, maternal and intuitive self. most people with this placement are remembered for their family and household, like household fame. these people inspire others by showing their emotions, giving love to everything, being kind and welcoming, showing that it is okay to not be okay, showing that family is important and that you should be there for vulnerable people. this is an interesting placement as 4th house deals with our roots and memories, I’d say Mnemosyne is the most comfortable in this sign/house. this may not be fun to hear but their family/ancestors may have a lot of karmic debts or maybe they have chosen to have the same family as they did in their past life to resolve familial problems (if you have any). their family may have been well known in their past life for whatever reason. If their family in their past life was close and they had a good healthy relationship with them, in this lifetime they may also have a good relationship with their family. If they had an unhealthy relationship with their family in their past life, it’s most likely that they have the same family members as they did in their past life to resolve problems. they could be really close to their family or yearn for a close relationship with them. the yearning may have continued from their past life. these people may have been a mother in their past life too, they could be naturally good at looking after people especially children and taking responsibility because of that. If these people didn’t have the chance of being a mother in their past life, then they came into this lifetime with the purpose of being a mother or a parent. they could unexplainably feel connected to children this lifetime. these people should pay attention to items that has belonged to their family for several generations (heirlooms). interestingly, this placement can mean that they keep being reborned into the same family so if these people look like their great great great grandmother, then it’s possible that that was them. these individuals may carry a lot of karma and fears from their past life and may actually have vivid memories of their past life.
MNEMOSYNE IN LEO / 5TH HOUSE — those with this placement are remembered for their generous, fearless, artistic, childlike and creative self and perhaps even their love affairs. most people with this placement are remembered for their artistic talents as this placement is common among actors and actresses as well as singers. these people’s talents never go unseen and they most likely have artistic hobbies. since mnemosyne is also the goddess of the arts and the mother of the 9 muses, those with this placement are incredibly creative and talented. their talents are heightened in this placement, they ‘birth’ new ideas and inspire people by their creative expression, they most likely inspire people to create art or do something artistic. they also inspire people by putting themselves out there, by showing that it’s okay to have fun, by showing that the spotlight isn’t scary and that art (and other types of entertainment) is just as important as other things in life - that it isn’t useless. when it comes to past life, these people were most likely artists or athletes. they could be naturally good at drawing, painting, singing, any kind of sports, etc because of their past life. they are way too talented that it’s impossible to be as talented as they are in just such a short amount of time, it looks like they’ve been doing it for generations (spoiler, they probably have been doing it for lifetimes). the 5th house also deals with romance and love affairs so they may attract a lot of the same partners as they did in their past life (romantic soulmates). they may recognise many souls, especially romantic soulmates. In their past life, they may have been a child or they were around children a lot so they may feel unexplainably drawn to children this lifetime. the 5th house also deals with inner child so these individuals may have experienced similar childhood as they did in their past life or have a similar inner child. these people should pay attention to their hobbies and talents that they’re naturally good at as this can give them hints about their past life. for example, if they’re naturally talented at drawing, they may have been an artist in their past life.
MNEMOSYNE IN VIRGO / 6TH HOUSE — those with this placement are remembered for their hardwork, helpfulness, analytical, modest and organised selves. most people with this placement are just remembered for their work and what they put out in the world and the help they give others. they inspire others by being helpful to others and by taking criticism and showing that criticism is okay as it allows you to see your mistakes and see where you can improve to help you become a better person. those with this placement are also nitpicky and see the little details which could be because they were such hard workers in the past life and were always criticised for little things. they are conservative. they most likely were judged for wearing shorter dresses, showing more skin than others, being more sensitive than others in their past life which made them more conservative in this life and afraid of making mistakes and disappointing others. they could’ve been servants too and were judged and looked down by people. those with this placement could be naturally blessed with healing talents and knowledge about health if they were healers/doctors in their past life. they could’ve also been craftsmen in their past life since virgo is related to craftsmanship. the 6th house also deals with pets, interestingly, these people’s pets could be their soulmates and they met them in their past life. they have special bonds with their pets. they could’ve helped healed certain pets/animals which is why some animals seem to be friendly with them and why they feel drawn to them. 6th house also deals with coworkers, so those with this placement may have worked with the same people in their past life. these people should pay attention to their body too (internally) as this could give them hints about their past life. for example, if they have respiratory problems, they might have breathed in a lot of dust or any kind of particles because of their work in their past life. these people could also have the same allergies as they had in their past life too.
MNEMOSYNE IN LIBRA / 7TH HOUSE — those with this placement are remembered for their fair, sociable, diplomatic and artistic self. those with this placement are mostly remembered for their aesthetic (art, fashion), their marriage partners and their attractiveness. they inspire people by having good fashion sense or a good eye for beauty and art, being the peacemaker, by showing that there is beauty everywhere and that you shouldn’t be afraid of love and you should give love to people. these people stand up for what’s right and try hard to make everyone feel happy and equal possible, they inspire people because of this. the way they resolve conflict is applaudable, it takes courage to step into a problem and try solving it. when it comes to past life, these people might have faced injustice in whichever way, which is why in this lifetime they are passionate about people getting justice. they hate seeing people upset and they hate inequality. these people are naturally good at resolving conflict and socialising with people, they are naturally very charismatic too. other people see these people as sweethearts, very kindhearted people who care about others. In their past life, they might have not experienced love at all or didn’t have their ideal partner or a healthy relationship so in this lifetime, they are blessed with the ability to intuitively know their partner (they may unexplainably seek the same type of people without knowing or may have avoided a lot of toxic relationships or they just know who their partner is before meeting them in person). another interpretation of this is that in their past life, they loved their partner so much that they chose to remember their partner in this lifetime and are most likely to meet the same romantic partner this lifetime too (high level soulmate). these people should pay attention to the type of partners they attract or subconsciously seek as this can give them hints about their past life. they should also pay attention to their behaviour towards other people. this may sound weird but their relationships help them remember their past life. fears and other things they didn’t know about themselves tend to show up relationships (romantic or not). the way people treat them and how they are to them tells them a lot about who they were as a person in their past life and what they went through. their partners are an important piece of their puzzle to know about their past life. these people could attract a lot of the same soulmates as they did in their past life, perhaps to solve some unresolved karma or issues (so karmic soulmates). another interpretation of this is that those with this placement inspire their partners, they are their muse.
MNEMOSYNE IN SCORPIO / 8TH HOUSE — TW: DEATH, TRAUMA, S*X. those with this placement are remembered for their magnetising, secretive, passionate, mysterious, possessive and powerful self. most people with this placement are remembered for their s*x appeal, wealth and maybe even deaths. they inspire others by showing that you do not have to be afraid of taboos or the dark side of life, by showing that being interested in taboo things does not make you an evil person (because there might be other reasons why you’re interested in them or why you are who you are), by showing that it is okay to hurt people that have hurt you. people with this placement encourage others to help understand people and observe people because there’s more beneath the surface and you shouldn’t just label someone as bad or evil just because they are a certain way. they encourage people to look deeper into things. they also show others that you need to defend yourself and step into your power, you can’t let people walk all over you. when it comes to past life, they could’ve been hated/hurt/ or died in a horrific way for doing taboo things and were labelled as evil for doing so, they were never truly understood (which is why in this lifetime they’re very good at looking beneath the surface and like psychology). they may be very vengeful especially if they died in their past life with lots of vengeance. they came in this lifetime with the purpose of getting revenge so they might attract a lot of karmic people. these people were most likely hurt by other people and had powerful people walk over them as they couldn’t defend themselves. they might have also been badly betrayed by those they trusted in their past life. because of that, these individuals are very cautious of letting people get close to them and are very secretive as a way of protecting themselves, they find it hard to trust people. these people might have been detectives in their past life, if not, these individuals naturally have a talent of observing people and finding clues anyway. they might have experienced a lot of deaths in their past life (other people’s deaths or even their own), these people could be afraid of death because of that. these people should pay attention to their fears as this could give them hints about their past life. for example, if they unexplainably have a fear of cliffs then they may have died by falling off a cliff in their past life. those with this placement carry fears and trauma from their past life so they most likely have the same fears/traumas as they did in their past life. another interpretation of this placement is that s*x for them is hard to forget (for good or for bad) and other people don’t forget about s*x with them too, it’s like once in a lifetime experience. you’re lucky to get intimate with these people.
MNEMOSYNE IN SAGITTARIUS / 9TH HOUSE — those with this placement are remembered for their philosophies, knowledge, broad mind, spontaneity and humour. most people with this placement are remembered for their intelligence and sense of humour and freedom-seeking mind. other people most likely come to those with this placement for answers because they have a ‘teacher’ aura. they inspire others by their explorative and broad minded self, showing that it is okay to seek freedom and you do not have to be chained to the past or old things, that change is okay. those with this placement most likely want to travel to other countries and are fascinated with other cultures and religions, they are the people that listen to music from other countries and aren’t afraid to move to another country and start a new life there even if their family isn’t there. when it comes to past life, these people were most likely teachers, they had a lot of knowledge on various things and taught many people. they could have been lucky enough to have had more education compared to other people and may have made interesting discoveries. because of this, these individuals may be naturally gifted with lots of knowledge on things and effortlessly understanding things, they may just ‘know’ things without an explanation. these people could experience times where they’re like “oh I thought I already knew this?”. these people most likely have spiritual gifts, most likely claircognizance. In their past life, they could have been immigrants or were just very different from the people of where they lived. they may have been hated and faced discrimination because of this and always seeked freedom and equality. whatever the situation. they most likely had little to no freedom to do whatever they wanted. If that is the case, then it’s no surprise why these people want freedom this lifetime. these people do not like people telling them what to do. they should pay attention to other cultures and countries and languages, if they feel drawn to a certain country then they may have been from that country in their past life. I know people with this placement that feel drawn to Egypt, especially the pyramids.
MNEMOSYNE IN CAPRICORN / 10TH HOUSE — those with this placement are remembered for their ambitions, achievements, career and social status. they may be remembered as someone cautious, conservative or consistent. however, most people with this placement are just remembered for their achievements and reputation. they inspire others by being hardworking, by showing that hardwork does get you to places and that you can achieve many things in life, by showing that having a good reputation is one of the things that can get you far in life and you can get out of problems because of it no matter if you are a good person inside or not, by showing that control and structure is important and so are authoritative figures, by showing that your career is important and that you shouldn’t slack off. these people show the dark truths of the world, the truths that get buried in society and hidden away from people by money or reputation or other powerful people. they show that the world is run by power and that you need to be powerful in order to survive. It isn’t shallow to try and have a good reputation and have a high social status among other powerful people. these people most likely care a lot about their reputation and naturally have leader qualities and may be naturally hardworking, like it’s in their blood. when it comes to past life, these people most likely were famous, authority figures or the providers of their family. they were most likely exposed to the dark truths of the world and the wrong usage of power so in this lifetime these people may be aware of that and want to be in authority and use that to their advantage (good or bad). these people have the strong desire to be in the higher class because they may have been wronged in their past life by people of power and learnt that nothing matters as long as you have a good social status. they are cautious of letting people get close to them. If they were famous in their past life, they might have learnt that fame isn’t necessarily good so they may be scared of fame in this lifetime (fame is karma and these individuals keep being reborn as famous people until they pay for their karmic debts). in their past life, these people might have worked so hard and got no recognition so in this lifetime they yearn for recognition. they have the strong desire to protect their family and to provide for them. those with this placement should pay attention to the careers they feel drawn to, a celebrity or any position of authority they feel drawn to as this can give them hints about their past life. they should also pay attention to what they want to get recognition for too. If they naturally have knowledge about a profession then they may have had that profession in their past life. another short and sweet interpretation of this placement is that these people might have a career related to arts and are highly looked up to and are seen as very inspiring people.
MNEMOSYNE IN AQUARIUS / 11TH HOUSE — those with this placement are remembered for their intellectual, humanitarian, revolutionary, fair, rebellious and independent self. most people with this placement are remembered for their individuality and intelligence. they inspire people by being unique and expressive, by showing that it is okay to be yourself and go against social norms, that it is okay to be free. those with this placement are most likely seen as unique or too rebellious, these are the people that are activists and hate ‘old’ mindsets, these are the people that always start arguments with people that make ignorant jokes and may be seen as a menace because of it, these are the people that fight for change, they are the future. when it comes to past life, they were most likely restricted and were around people who were too stuck in the past, whatever it is, they just couldn’t be themselves. they weren’t accepted by their family and society, they were labelled as ‘weird’. because of that, they came in this lifetime with the purpose of bringing change to society which is why they are passionate about world causes and equality. they are most likely to get angry over ignorant jokes easily because they have faced that way too much in their past life. these people yearn to be themselves and to be accepted for who they really are so these people may look like they try too hard to be unique or they may look like they’re shoving in people’s faces that they’re different (in whichever way). they just want to freely express themselves (which they didn’t get to do in their past life). these people may just naturally be good at inventing things, coming up with theories and talking in groups and making friends/connections. they may experience times where they’re like “I thought I already knew this”, similarly to Sagittarius, these people could be gifted with claircognizance. they may naturally just ‘know’ things with no explanation. these people were most likely activists or inventors in their past life, or anyone who was seen as “weird” and didn’t fit in with society. they should pay attention to the causes they’re naturally passionate about as it could tell them what they want through in their past life. they most likely have the same quirks and friends they had in their past life and may recognise many souls (especially platonic soulmates).
MNEMOSYNE IN PISCES / 12TH HOUSE — those with this placement at remembered for their creative , psychic, sympathetic, gentle self. most people with this placement are remembered for their psychic abilities, creativity, art and mysticism. they inspire others by being in tune with their emotions and showing that it is okay to be vulnerable, by showing that having emotions is beautiful and you can turn it into art and create something out of it, by showing unconditional love and that everyone needs kindness and forgiveness even if they themselves have been hurt many times, by being sacrificial. these people’s sacrifices and acts of kindness are never forgotten, they can make others smile for the rest of their day by giving them a compliment. their kindness impacts people’s lives, people will talk about them and remember them when they are feeling down for the good thing they did. when it comes to past life, these people were most likely very spiritual or they were hospitalised or just unwell, they could’ve had a hard life. those with this placement are most likely old souls and have a lot of karma as 12th house deals with karma. In their past life, they might have done something bad so they came in this lifetime with the purpose of repaying their karmic debts hence why these people are kind and forgiving and sacrificial. since Pisces is the last sign of the wheel and symbolises endings, these people will most likely repay their karmic debts this lifetime. in their past life, they were most likely psychics so it’s no surprise that these individuals naturally know about spirituality and have strong intuition. these people carry fears that’s deeply buried in their subconscious mind for lifetimes, memories of their past life could also be buried in their subconscious mind so these individuals could get dreams of their past life a lot or even dreams of the future. mnemosyne here slowly unveils and reveals so these individuals may be confused with why they feel a certain way about something even though they have no relations to it. or perhaps, they get random visions of their past life in an unchronological order so they could be confused. these people should pay attention to their dreams and random visions because they’re gifted with the ability to ‘see’ their past life. Interestingly, in their past life, these people might have not experienced life because they were unwell so in this lifetime they’re given the chance to experience life and are gifted with psychic abilities to help them foresee their future.
