Death in the natal chart: how to predict? – School of Predictions “Alpha”

“1. Introduction

Predicting death is one of the most complex and sensitive topics in astrology. Discussing it requires not only a thorough knowledge of the subject but also a certain ethical responsibility on the part of the astrologer. There are many methods and systems that astrologers can use to predict various life events, including death. One such system is the Indian astrological system of Vimshottari Dasha, which looks at human life through planetary periods and sub-periods. In this article, we will look at the approaches and stages of working on death prediction, and also dissect the basic principles of the Vimshottari Dasha system.

2. Danger of death prediction

A. Ethical Aspects

Predicting death by horoscope is an extremely dangerous subject. If an astrologer decides to make such predictions, he must understand very well all the possible consequences of his actions. Astrological ethics requires an awareness of responsibility to the person who seeks this type of counseling.

B. People’s reactions to predictions

Predicting death often causes resentment and even outrage in people. Even if an astrologer says that a person will live 116 years, this may not satisfy the curiosity of the client, who may wonder why not 117 years. People are often not ready to hear a candid answer to this question, especially if they went to an astrologer out of curiosity or amusement.

В. Questioning the validity of the request

It is important to always ask the client why they need to know about the possibility of death. The topic itself is so serious that it requires a deeply justified inquiry. The astrologer must make sure that the client is really ready to hear the answer and realize its significance.

3. An Approach to Predicting Death in Astrology

A. The need for in-depth knowledge of astrology

Many astrologers avoid predicting death because this process requires not only a deep understanding of astrology, but also a high degree of skill in prognostication. An astrologer must be able to correctly interpret the position of the planets and do an overview of the horoscope without going into minor details.

B. Forecasting Methodology

Before starting a death prediction, an astrologer must gather the most accurate data possible, including the horoscopes of the person’s relatives. It is important to evaluate not only the horoscope of the client himself, but also the related horoscopes of the loved ones. If there is no close relationship or mental contact between the client and the relative who is trying to be predicted, the death of that relative may not be reflected in the client’s horoscope.

4. Indian Astrology and the Vimshottari Dasha System

A. Basics of the Vimshottari Dasha System

The Vimshottari Dasha system is based on planetary periods and sub-periods spanning 120 years. During this period, all the 9 planets considered in Vedic astrology go through their phases, unevenly distributed in time.

B. Periods and sub-periods of planets

Each planetary period and its inner sub-periods can produce certain events in a person’s life. A combination of factors, such as the major position of a planet and its aspects in other horoscopes, allows for detailed analysis of the possibilities of various events, including death. For accurate forecasting, it is necessary to understand the interrelationship of these periods and assess their impact on the horoscopes of a person and his or her loved ones.

5. Stages of work on predicting death

A. Collecting and analyzing materials

The first stage involves collecting accurate data about the person’s horoscope and, if possible, the horoscopes of his or her relatives. This helps to assess the big picture and to see possible indications of death in several interrelated horoscopes.

B. Evaluating the horoscope for significant factors

The second step is to carefully analyze the horoscope for indications of premature death, violent death, or a propensity for disease. The focus is on the eighth house (indicative of longevity), the first house (health and physical body) and the third house (indirectly indicative of longevity). Additionally, the aspects and positions of planets in decline or with malefic characteristics are evaluated.”

“6. Key factors indicating a short life

Prediction about short life in astrology is based on many factors that need to be analyzed carefully. Let us consider a few key factors.

A. Presence of Mars in the eighth house
One of the strongest indicators of a short life is the presence of Mars in the eighth house. The eighth house is responsible for longevity, and Mars in this house can indicate a sudden demise associated with injuries, accidents, or violence. This Mars position is often associated with premature death due to accident or murder.

Б. Ascendant of the eighth house host to the first house
The second important combination is the eighth house host in the first house in conjunction with planets such as Mars or Saturn. Although the effect is slightly weaker, this position also indicates significant health problems and potential life-threatening situations. If the eighth house host aspects the first house or the first house host, this is also considered unfavorable.

В. Aspects and retrograde of planets
Aspects of planets with negative character like Mars, Rahu, Saturn and Sun to the first house play an important role. These aspects can significantly worsen the health of a person. Special attention should be paid to retrograde planets, especially if the ruler of the first house goes retrograde. This significantly worsens the functions of the planet and can cause chronic diseases and, consequently, shortened life expectancy.

7. Example of Analysis: John F. Kennedy

To illustrate the principles under discussion, consider the horoscope of John F. Kennedy, the famous U.S. president who died by assassination.

A. General horoscope
Kennedy was born on May 29, 1917, in Brookline, Massachusetts, at 3:09 pm. His rising sign is Virgo, ruled by Mercury. In Kennedy’s horoscope, a key indicator is the presence of Mars in the eighth house, indicating the potential for sudden death associated with violence. Here Mars is in his own sign, making his influence even more malevolent despite his power.

Б. Indian astrological influences
Indian astrology emphasizes the periods of Vimshottari Dasha. At the time of the assassination, Kennedy was under the influence of Jupiter and Saturn, a combination that is considered particularly unfavorable.

1. Saturn, as the master of the sixth house, aspects the first house, having a negative effect on Kennedy’s health and general condition.
2. Jupiter, which also plays a significant role, despite its favorable position in static astrology, shows its unfavorability in dynamic charts, especially during periods related to life and death.

Kennedy also has other unfavorable combinations in his horoscope, such as retrograde planets and overlapping malefic aspects. These aspects are confirmed by additional fractional cards (D9, D3, D12) that unfold the full picture of his fate and death. For example:
– In the D9 chart, Jupiter is in fall and aspects the first house.
– In D3, Jupiter is in the eighth house in the first house, indicating life and death situations.

Conclusion
After analyzing John Kennedy’s horoscope, we can conclude that the combination of unfavorable aspects, the presence of malefic and retrograde planets, and the influence on the first house and its ruler, create conditions for early and violent death. This example illustrates the importance of comprehensive analysis and the use of various astrological tools to accurately predict fate.”
