Greetings, Family!
Does it mean that the past lives' harmful actions accumulated as Karma for this life?
It is my opinion that it is very big probability to say the least. The so called residue of abuse in past life yes - but the abuse itself what did it have behind it? What was before that? What was a reason of reasons? The "bad deeds" might have been not one life ago and might have a great deal of age. Soul might had rather long way to what it got in this life.
Yet there is such phenomena as all those degrees being realized only as talents as well as much more fortunate charts belonging to much less fortunate people. Most impressionable example being David Hilbert - greatest mathematician with worse chart than any murder victim possible (in the case of completely right rectification of course which I can't prove). Other one being Euler.
My investigation suggests that these things known as "wells" to Ancients are actually of extreme catastrophic power and vast majority of earthlings simply are not at an ethical or spiritual level to use them appropriately. Thus usually creating terrible karma with them. At least this is one of my theories on their case. And maybe Hilbert was that rare exception with purely appropriate karmic history with these degrees.
I've read the article "Noted Astrology Aspects" in ToZ. Where the article says which degrees in which sign can bring bad luck (ex. 15 degrees in Leo). I found out that with my Planets and Houses together, I have 6 of those degrees. Does this mean that I was fated for misfortune?
I suggest
1. Do both parts of returning curses every day all your life.
2. Do as many Zeus and other Gods of your choice rituals as possible. Ask Zeus and other Gods for help and protection.
3. Investigate what houses and signs these are in and on what planet - what spheres and affairs they rule in your life. Cleanse your conscience in those affairs, serve humanity via them and do a lot of cleansing magic on them.
4. Ask Gods for guidance of how to sublimate them into the great deeds because they are of power and this power if 100% sublimated into creative riverbed might be totally neutralized. Such examples exist.
