Death is an enigma in itself. It is one of the most unpredictable event in our lives. Yet astrologers have been long striving to predict the death of individuals.
According to Indian astrology, the time of death has to be identified by the un-risen number of navamsas in the birth. If the birth lord aspects it, the time must be doubled and if aspected by benefics the time will be trebled.
In astrology, the eighth house is the house of the zodiac sign of Scorpio and planet Pluto. It is viewed as the house of death and resurrection.
Some observations made by Astrologers on causes of death:
A person who has a malefic at 6 degrees of Capricorn would have a tragic death and would be murdered for drugs and money,
It had been observed that people who had committed suicide had the ascendant at 22° Pisces and MC at 26° Sagittarius.
Most murdered people had the midheaven on 7° Leo or 26 degrees of Sagittarius.
If most of the angles are 29 degrees then the native would have a violent death for certain.
A person murdered by father had most malefic at 21° Sagittarius and MC on 18° Scorpio.
A child murdered at age 0 had Sun/Moon midpoint at 18° Aries which indicates terrible death.
A person murdered by drowning has Ascendant or Midheaven at 17° Pisces
in 12th house.
A native with Moon on 18° might face premature death.
People who died from alcoholism had the ascendant ruler in an aspect to Neptune.
A malefic planet seen in 18th or 29th degree causes violent deaths.
Here is a table that documents the Astrological degrees and the cause of death associated with these degrees. The degrees mentioned below should be perceived with great care, having something on this degree won’t necessary mean that one will die in a violent way, but this overview could help in further study and understanding.
The following are the points that are to be noted when studying the table below:
If the Ascendant is on one of these degrees.
When the Sun or midheaven is in a degree it also becomes more significant.
An orb of 1 degree can also be applied to some cases.
If the planet is afflicted the fatal degree could become more prominent.
The natal chart should have other pointers towards death of the native too.
