Amazing job you guys did on the first three thrones. I especially love bec's interpetation of the moon card! Let me see if I can help you out on the 4th. The idea is to be a bit more literal. What story do you see, and when do you see it as happening? The idea is to see a "real" past life.

Throne 4:
.....................................Ace Swords
Hierophant - Temperance - Star - Strength - Tower - Sun - Judgment - Wheel
You decided to read it Left-to-Right so I will too.
Hierophant: This is the only person card in the spread. So it's you, Kaz. Who you were in this past life. And as in your childhood, you saw things differently than most folk. The implication is that, in THIS life, that unique way of seeing things led you to a position of great power. A priesthood, leader of a sacred order, wiseman/wisewoman/shaman or just a highly respected and regarded councilor. Given the Hermit in your career, I' guessing that it was a solo job. Given the "Ace of Sword" very powerful as well. It's no surprise, in Childhood, Career and Love Life too, that you "Don't play well with others"
You were the number one wiseman/priest/visionary in your past life. This makes you feel that you still know best, are still in control or should be, and why is anyone trying to either boss you around or infringe on your space?
Mind you, this isn't too much of a problem except in the Love-Life. Thing is, you apparently had very good interpetive and visionary powers and talents in your past life and you still do. So just because this life hasn't given you a throne and acolytes doesn't mean you don't deserve them
Temperance & Star: I read these as your views that you expressed to others. They were views of, yes, Temperance, but also alchemy, how to change things and make them better. The Star was your visions of the future and healing powers. All this is evident in your childhood, where you re-created your former self. You still created, saw, and did things different, as you did int he past. And we can see it also in your career, where you seek to do the same. Only this time around, the modern world calls you a fool, not a visionary. Their loss.
It is my guess, by the way, that this time period you were living in was at a crisis point where things were about to radically change. You had a vision (Star) of weathering this coming storm and changing thing for the better. You were the hope of this community, town, city, tribe (whatever it was).
Strength & Tower: There came a time of crisis, as you forsaw. It required all your inner strength to face it and deal with it--an inner strength that you passed onto everyone else as well. The crisis came and it literally or figuratively shook up this world. But thanks to you're foresight, the town/tribe/city survived it and--
Sun & Judgement: Rebuilt and renewed this world (literally/figuratively), according to your wise advise. You helped to raise it up again better than ever.
Wheel is the "coda"--it indicates that thanks to you, a new era was ushered in.
The advise of this past life is, perhaps, to remember that you're not so alone or completely in-charge in this life as you were in the last one. But also to remember that when you were, you were able to make great changes thanks to your wisdom, vision, strength and foresight. The Love-Life problems need that, but they also need you to find new answers, not the old life answers where you were the only one in charge.
Now that's what I see. But it's up to you and bec to lay out the past-life cards from the deck you used and see what vibe you get as to when and where this past life was (I keep getting an ancient middle-east feel, by the way....). The most important thing is for you, Kaz, to say if anything like this feels familiar. And if it does, what does it feel like you're seeing, doing, wearing, experiencing. That should help tune you and bec into the where and when of the past life.
Or, at least, that's what I gather you're suppose to do with this spread
