Karmic tail 3-22-19: Unborn child at a glance
Lively vitality, contagious enthusiasm, a wish to try: the energy of this tail brings light into groups. The person has a taste for beginnings, boldness, and the present moment. Combined with patience, this vitality carries projects through to the end.
Haste lurks: skipping steps, wanting everything right now, then growing weary or burning out. The other side is refusing adult responsibilities, as if growing up meant losing lightness. Break your projects into short steps, celebrate each one, and accept that maturity can stay joyful.

What this karmic tail tells
In this life, an intuitive memory of this past pushes the person, from childhood, to want to do everything fast, to live intensely, and to be noticed.
In this life
Relationships with the parents, and above all with the mother, are difficult. The method describes a distant mother, not happy about this child’s arrival; even when appearances are kept up, this coldness shows through from time to time. The child strives to prove to the mother that they surpass all the others, to win her love. Failing that, they later look for a substitute mother figure: a superior, friends, the partner. The question of having children of their own makes everything more delicate, with two extremes: because of a deep inner unease, they either give it up, or put the project off as long as possible, waiting for everything to be perfectly in order. Yet, according to the method, the child arrives precisely at the time of difficulties, when health or finances waver. The person then has to stand in the place of their mother of long ago and make a decisive choice. Refusing the child makes everything worse; understanding what their mother went through, forgiving her inwardly, and welcoming the child gradually brings back, as if by miracle, success and serenity.
The lesson
The lesson, according to the method, is to understand your mother and forgive her. When life reproduces her situation, it means going through it without repeating your parents’ mistakes, choosing, on the moral level, to give a small soul a happy life. The difficulties of the moment do not last. If, on the contrary, you repeat your own mother’s act, the method describes a series of losses and trials that are hard to get out of, with the same choice coming back again and again.
The story of the past, according to the method
For the method, this is a soul that, in a previous life, could not come into the world, because the pregnancy was interrupted or lost for various causes, or that left life in very early childhood. It therefore keeps the freshness of a child, pure and innocent, and has not yet lived the life that was its due.
The script: Refusing to grow up
The person looks for a loving adult and wants to matter.
Frozen in a childlike posture, they attract conflicts where forgiving seems impossible, reject their mother’s story, struggle to detach from her, and meet with difficulties with their own children.
The signals
- Complicated relationship with the mother
- Distant mother who slips away
- Overprotected children
- Childlike attitudes in adulthood
- Partner who plays the parent
- Quest for parental recognition
- Interrupted pregnancies, unwanted child, refusal of descendants
- Child hard to accept
- Difficulty conceiving or carrying a pregnancy
- Resentment toward parents
- Emotions hard to express
- Irresponsibility or excessive demands
- Need to be the center of attention
- Consuming guilt
- Scattered actions
- Tendency to put yourself down
The new strategy
The new strategy begins with work on the maternal bond: seeking to understand what the mother went through, then forgiving her inwardly.
When life places the person before a similar choice, they live it fully instead of fleeing it, avoiding repeating their parents’ mistakes. They make the moral choice to offer a small soul a happy life, remembering that the difficulties of the moment are temporary. This choice ends the cycle of losses and of the same decision replayed over and over.
The steps
- Write down what you know about your mother’s life when you were born
- Write a letter of forgiveness to your mother, without necessarily sending it
- Notice the parental mistakes you risk repeating
- Faced with an important decision, remind yourself that difficulties pass
- Make the choice that offers the child a happy life
In everyday life
An exciting idea comes up one evening, and you want to launch it tomorrow.
You buy, you start, you tell everyone. Some time later, the fire dies down and weariness moves in. This time, write down the first three steps and commit only to the first. The pleasure of starting stays intact, and each completed step adds solidity: enthusiasm becomes achievement.
A symbolic reading of the Destiny Matrix: food for thought about yourself, never a verdict or an established fact.

How is it calculated?
Start with the date.
The day gives a, the month b, the year c; any total above 22 is reduced to the sum of its digits. Fictional example, March 14, 1987: a = 14, b = 3, c = 1 + 9 + 8 + 7 = 25, reduced to 7. The life lesson d = 14 + 3 + 7 = 24, reduced to 6. The center e = 14 + 3 + 7 + 6 = 30, reduced to 3. Then d1 = d + e = 9, and d2 = d + d1 = 15. The tail reads from top to bottom: 9-15-6. Its name: “World of passions and tales.”
Frequently asked questions: karmic tail 3-22-19: Unborn child
What does the name of this tail mean?
It is a strong image, speaking of a life that could not unfold. It does not describe an event in your story. It conveys a pressure the method draws from it: living fast, catching up on everything, for fear of running out of time. The page proposes the opposite: taking your time, at your own pace.
What is the link with the mother?
The lesson invites you to look at the maternal relationship with understanding, without seeking a culprit. Understanding a parent, with their limits and context, frees you from the feeling of having to repair. If this relationship is difficult or absent, it can also be done with a figure who played this role, or by writing what you would have liked to say.
How can I slow down without getting bored?
Pair slowness with pleasure: an aimless walk, a shared meal, a hands-on activity. Keep a motivating project for the drive, and add scheduled pauses to it. Little by little, you discover that the depth of a moment does not depend on its speed, and that the time available is wider than you feared.
