Ever wonder what your past lives reveal about your current issues? Astrologer Susan Reynolds shares a true story about how a seemingly “boring” psychic vision of a past life completely transformed her client’s current life.

Past lives, spirit guides, and ghosts all play into Susan’s unique brand of astrology. But, she wasn’t always a full time professional astrologer. Once upon a time, she held down a corporate job and kept her gifts a secret from her coworkers.
Today, however, she has fully embraced her calling. And, as you can imagine, the dead keep giving her glimpses into the past, both for herself and for her clients. Her stories are wild. And you’ll hear them, today, on Homespun Haints.
About the Guest: Susan Reynolds, Astrologer
Susan is a Karmic Astrologer, who reluctantly began talking with the dead when they wouldn’t let her be. What makes Susan’s story particularly intriguing is her initial resistance to these gifts. She eventually discovered through a dream that her fear likely stemmed from a past life as a trance medium in the 1800s who had a frightening experience with a spirit who refused to leave her body. This personal past life karma explains her extreme fear of ghosts in this lifetime—a reluctance she has gradually overcome to embrace her full range of abilities.
Susan meditates on each chart before doing a reading, during which time she is usually shown visions of past lives and how they are impacting this current life. Her clients find answers to questions they have struggled with for years, and a connection to a higher spiritual path. She does both live and Zoom readings, which you can peruse and schedule on her website, exploreastrology.com.

If you’re ready to jump into astrology headfirst and want to learn how to read your own chart or read for others, Susan is about to start offering a 3 month intuitive development course (she says we all have some sort of ability to develop, no matter how latent). Susan talks with a lot of spirits during her sessions, but she’s also spotted a couple ghosts out of context. Her first true ghost story starts around 35:00.
How to Interpret Past Life Karma
Do our greatest fears come from our past lives? How can an astrological birth chart help us find out? This reminds me of the book we are reading in HH book club this month (May, 2025), which is open to all our listeners at the “free” level of Patreon support. If you’re reading this in the future, check our Patreon page to see if we are still doing HH Book Club.
If you’re interested in exploring some of the resources that helped Susan embrace her own innate psychic abilities, Edgar Cayce’s A.R.E. free study groups meet all over the USA, both in-person and online. Find one near you here.
Are All Past Life Visions Relevant?
During this episode, Diana shares her disappointment that her only past life regression session didn’t feel relevant or meaningful to her present. When Susan heard that, she advised Diana to interpret the past life vision like a dream. Although Diana’s been doing dream interpretation for almost 3 decades, this approach to past lives never occurred to her. It makes sense, though, that the Akashic Records would likely use the same symbolic-image-based language of the subconscious that dreams use to communicate.
Fortunately, Susan was able to clarify some past life meaning within Diana’s current life when she read Diana’s birth chart.
Do Children Remember Their Past Lives?
Last year, we released a bonus episode about some of the most astounding memories that children have retained from their past lives…or at least, the researchers who worked with them couldn’t figure out any other way these children had detailed knowledge about recently deceased people from different places that they had never met or heard of.
Do you recall any of your past lives, or have you learned about them through the Akashic Records or some other method? If you have a past life story you’d like to share, why not submit it to be on a future episode of our podcast?
Is the Titanic Museum in Pigeon Forge, TN Haunted?
Susan’s second ghost story takes place at the Pigeon Forge Titanic Museum during an overnight ghost hunt. Susan recalls that the guests were encouraged to wear period dress to match the Titanic theme. So when a quiet little boy dressed in 1920’s hat and trousers struck up a game of hide and seek with Susan, she took it in stride…until the little boy in period dress disappeared.
Later on in the museum exhibit, the guests were ushered onto a replica Titanic lifeboat. While sitting in the simulated lifeboat, Susan felt the brush of cloth against her leg, but when she scooted over to make room for the guest beside her, there was nobody there.
Haunted Objects from the Titanic
Susan got the definite impression that the hauntings at the Pigeon Forge Titanic Museum were attached to objects from the original Titanic. We’ve previously heard from several guests who’ve experienced spirits attached to haunted objects.
Speaking of haunted antique objects, the anti-toe-stub skull slippers Diana endorses are available here.
Other Professional Astrologers We’ve Interviewed:
What’s it Like Getting an Astrology Reading with Susan?
Have you ever received a custom astrology reading? I’m not talking about reading your horoscope…all the astrologers we’ve interviewed say those are just the tip of the iceberg. I’m talking about having a professional astrologer–perhaps even one with psychic gifts–generate a birth chart based on your birth time and location, and then interpret its relevance to your life and what that might mean for your past, present, or future.
Well, even though Diana’s been dabbling in astrology since the 8th grade, she hadn’t had a pro read for her. So when Susan offered her a reading while we were recording this episode, Diana jumped at the chance to have that experience. And she’s very glad she did, as she never expected it to be so spot-on accurate. Finally, Diana got the clarity she was looking for about the near future and her soul’s purpose, and things have only been looking up since then.
Diana’s Past Life Karma and Astrology Birth Chart
This isn’t just fluff and flattery; Diana can be difficult to impress. Here’s a list of highly specific things Susan intuited about Diana’s life that she had no business knowing about:
- Was instantly upset to have been born here…again.
- Intolerant of religious intolerance, and unable to find belonging in organized religion.
- Was supposed to study abroad in college, but didn’t (“I did eventually get to visit Innsbruck, and yes I would’ve loved it”).
- Had a different learning style than others, and thus felt like she shouldn’t speak up at all in school.
- Provides unpaid therapy to pretty much everyone, whether asked for or otherwise, and gets frustrated when people want to talk about a problem instead of implementing solutions.
- A continuous battle between the desire to be center stage and the desire to blend into the background (“OMG I’ve never felt so seen”).
- Extreme sensitivities to many foods.
- Primarily bone, tooth, and skin health issues.
- Compulsively has to address things directly, in the moment, rather than holding her tongue.
- Shouldn’t have loaned money to a specific person in her past (“well yeah, I know that now“).
- Has just this January come out of a ~3 year period of severe physical and emotional fatigue with no meaningful career advancement.
If you have listened to EVERY episode of Homespun Haints podcast, you might recall some stories Diana has told about…well, all of these things Susan read in her chart. But would you have remembered all of these specifics on the spot? Do you feel like these items are generic, and could be said of anybody? Or are they reasonably specific to Diana?
And it got even more personal than just those things. Susan kindly provided a video recording of her session with Diana, which is good because there was a LOT of information to communicate. You can head over to our Patreon to see the original video for all the juicy details, and have a spooky day!
