Le Astrologie de la Morte

[queensirius]

I am studying certain charts to ascertain what key aspects play a significant role on the day of a persons death. I am currently looking at one natal chart and comparing it to his Solar Return for the year he died and also the transits for the day of death.

It seems a little morbid, but I really would like to see if I can gleam a little insight via astrology. Does anyone have anything they can share pertaining to planetary alignments (patterns) which tend to happen on such difficult dates?

For example; the SR chart of this person I am studying had Saturn in Aquarius 8th opposing his Sun+Mercury 2nd, also Saturn 8th was (part of the T-square) opposing Sun+Merc -and- they both Sun-Merc and Saturn were squaring Pluto Scorpio 4th.

Transit wise, I found it strange that T Jupiter was less than 1 degree away and Venus was less than 3 degrees away from being exactly conjunct to his natal Jupiter and natal Venus both in the 12th house.

His chart ruler was Pluto, natally it is found in the 11th house (he died at a social gathering). His SR Pluto was also the apex of this T-square.

He died of a drug overdose, natally he had Neptune in the 1st and I know a few people who have this aspect and are addicted to some substance (one friend is a chronic potsmoker and very spiritual and the other is a non-spiritual self-proclaimed agnostic alchoholic).

There are already a lot of indicators here but if anyone can share their stories and finds (assuming anyone has any)... I'd appreciate it!

I don't have my experience in this area. However, I have heard that Jupiter is often active at the time of death and signifies the release from suffering. I think the other outer planets could possibly shed light on the cause of death. Your findings seem to agree with this.

This is fascinating queensirius. I don't have any experience to share I'm afraid but I'll be really interested in what you discover. I know I've got references to this in books but can't find them right now, when I do, I'll post the details for you.

I continue, slowly, to research this terrain of death through astrological keys. I've discovered that we may also have what is called a "death chart". I once read that the date a person crosses over is the same date they reincarnate into earthly life again (albeit a different year). I personally intuit this to have some truth to it. Something about continuing on the wheel of birth and death, the Buddhists believe, it is important because this date (chart) will symbolically and spiritually represent the continuation of karmic lessons and future incarnation experience. A soul passes through a sort of inter-life school of sorts and together with their "soul team" aka angels, etc they carve out the person's next evolutionary map of life choices and path. This is all leaning a
lot toward the metaphysical and occult even, but I do believe astrology ties in to even these most mysterious aspects of life.

Aphrodite, yes Jupiter in transit seems very influential and in this case even more so! On a somewhat different note, a family member of mine died last August and left me a large sum of money. Interestingly enough, I have my own Solar Return Jupiter in the 8th house. So, death is also sadly shedding more light on other factors, astrologically it always fits.

Ariesmoon, those references would be great!!! Thanks.

I learned a calculation about the relationship v the Moon and Mars that was meant to tell you I learned it about 20 years ago and did my best to forget it I think it made me die this age I am now I wish I had not remembered that bit of it If I disappear for more than 3 months from here you may know why I hope it was wrong Do you really wish to know? Cos in finding a good way to see it it is almost impossible not to know your own and those of your loved ones which could be such a burden to keep quiet about to them I have noticed various planetary movements that are indicative but can also be emigration or some other biggy like that But if someone is going to put it down in simple terms I will not read the thread!!!!!!
