Childhood wisdom? Not your first round, friend

Some children carry a quiet weight. Not sadness—something older. A knowing that doesn’t belong to this life. Their eyes meet yours, and for a second, it feels like you’re speaking to someone who’s been here before. Past life astrology leans into these moments. Not as proof, but as possibility. That souls remember, even if minds forget.

Saturn plays a quiet role here. When it’s strong in a child’s chart—especially in connection to the Moon or Mercury—it brings depth. These children often think before they speak, feel more than they can explain. There’s a natural sense of responsibility, even in play. They understand limits, time, consequences. Not because they’ve been taught—but because, perhaps, they’ve lived them before.

The lunar nodes offer more subtle clues. The South Node points to what the soul has already learned. A child with the South Node in reflective or analytical signs might show unusual insight, a natural calm, or skill without practice. It’s not ambition that drives them—it’s memory. The North Node, meanwhile, shows where they’re headed now. But the South holds the echo.

They may be drawn to certain ideas, people, or places with no clear reason. They might dislike something deeply, instantly, with no cause. These responses don’t always make sense—but they come from somewhere. A resonance. A familiarity buried beneath awareness.

These children ask different kinds of questions. Not just about how things work, but why they matter. They notice emotion, motive, contradiction. They sometimes seem distant—not because they’re detached, but because part of them already knows how this story goes.

Not every child is an old soul. But when you meet one, you feel it. In their stillness. In their words. In the moments they seem to see through you. A life lived before, quietly shining through.
