For the purposes of prognostication and event scheduling, modern Hindu astrology favors the use of the Vimshottari dasha system in conjunction with the Gochara system. It’s difficult to figure out how long you’ll live and when you’ll die. The Mrityu-bhava or House of Death, according to Parasara, is the 8th house counted from the house held by Saturn at the moment of birth. Add up the number of Rekhas (malefic points) contributed by Saturn in the houses from the lagna to the house occupied by Saturn, and this figure will indicate the age at which the native will face adversity; add up the rekhas contributed by Saturn from the house occupied by Saturn to the lagna, and this figure will indicate the age at which the native will face the most severe physical adversity, and even death if the maraka-dasha is active. Alternatively, multiply the number of rekhas contributed by Saturn in the houses from the house occupied by it to the Mrityu-bhava, multiply this figure by the Yoga-pinda, and divide by 27; the remainder will indicate the nakshatra transiting which or the trine nakshatra therefrom Saturn will cause death, or add the number of rekhas contributed by Saturn in the houses from the house occupied by it to the Mrityu-bhava
“Death will take place in regions identical to the rasi occupied by the lord of the navamsa, in which birth falls,” writes Varahamihira in his Brihat Jataka. Conjunctions and planetary aspects must be used to describe additional features or specialties. The unrisen number of navamsas in the birth must be used to determine the time of death. If it is aspected by the birth lord, the time must be doubled; if it is aspected by benefics, the time must be trebled.
In Chapter XXXII St.116-118, Narayanan Nambutiri, the author of Prasna Marga, who follows Varahamihira, states that first total the bindus (before reduction) in Saturn’s Ashtakavarga from the lagna to the sign occupied by Saturn; and from the sign occupied by Saturn to the lagna, these two numbers will indicate the age when the native will be attacked by disease or misfortune; and the total of If the age represented by these three digits corresponds with the end or beginning of a malefic dasha, death may occur. When Saturn transits the nakshatra represented by the remainder or trinal nakshatra, death may occur. Multiply the Sodya Pinda of Saturn by the bindus in the 8th house from Saturn in his own Ashtakavarga, divide the product by 27; when Saturn transits the nakshatra represented by the remainder or trinal nakshatra, death may occur. Multiply the bindus in the sign occupied by Jupiter or the Sun in Saturn’s Ashtakavarga by Saturn’s Sodya Pinda and divide by 12, the result is the sign Jupiter or the Sun was transiting at the moment of death.

In astrology, which planet is associated with death?
A professional astrologer may foretell the sickness that causes a person’s death based on the nature of the planet that aspects the 8th house, and the part of the body that will be affected is the 8th House in the Kalapurusha division.
The sickness that leads to death is caused by the Dosha (humour) symbolized by the planet in the 8th House.
If many planets inhabit the 8th House, the body will be subjected to multiple attacks as a result of the excess of various Humours indicated by such powerful planets, which will result in death.
Fire would be the cause of death if the Sun was in the 8th House. When other planets are positioned in the 8th House, the following factors play a role in death:
- When the Moon is in the 8th House, death is a result of water.
- When Mars is in this House, weapons cause death.
- When Mercury is present, fever causes death.
- When Jupiter is present, chronic diseases are the cause of death.
- When Venus is in this House, thieves cause death, and
- When Saturn is in this House, death is the result of famine.
If the 8th House is a moveable sign, death will occur in a foreign location; if it is a fixed sign, death will occur in one’s own home; and if it is a common sign, death will occur while traveling.
If the 8th House is aspected by the Sun, bile or heat, if the Moon is wind and bile, if Mars is bile and heat, if Mercury is bile, wind and phlegm, if Jupiter is phlegm, if Venus is phlegm and wind, and if Saturn is wind, the sickness will develop.
According to Indian Jyotish Guru Dr. Raman, if no planet occupies or aspects the 8th House, the lord of the 8th House should be evaluated, and the ailment defined by the Humours suggested by that planet.
According to Ayurveda, good health is ensured when the three Doshas (humours) of wind, bile, and phlegm are in balance.
“Each Dosha produces specific ailments,” Dr. Raman explains, “and the particular nature of the disease from which a person dies should be determined with reference to the humour given to the planet ruling, situated in, or aspecting the horoscope’s 8th House.”
Fever, apoplexy, and paralysis are all symptoms of the sun.
Watery disorders, drowning, diarrhoea, dysentery, and blood impurities are all caused by the moon. Death from pneumonia, cholera, plague, and other epidemics, as well as hemorrhage, bronchitis, abortion, surgical operations, and gunshot accidents, are all brought on by Mars.
Mercury poisoning can result in death from brain fever, small pox, nerve illnesses, whooping cough, and attacks.
Jupiter brings death due to mental anguish or an undiagnosed sickness, such as pleurisy, liver disease, pulmonary inflammation, heart failure, and spasms.
Excessive thirst, starvation, excessive heat, and venereal illness are all brought on by Venus.
Suffocation, burns, rheumatic fever, paralysis, melancholia, and tuberculosis are all caused by Saturn.
Death is not seen by astrology as a misfortune for the native.
It considers a person’s death to be lucky if it occurs peacefully. Only those close to the departed perceive death to be a calamity.
Which Graha is in charge of death?
The Moon’s twenty-second Drekkna Lord and sixty-fourth Navamsa Lord are likewise extremely unlucky. The native might also be killed by the Lord of Trik households.
Death is also caused by the Lord of the eighth house and the planets in the eighth house. If you live in the eighth house, you are:
- The sun will then die as a result of fire or burning.
- The moon will then die as a result of the water.
- Mars will then die as a result of an injury or a weapon.
- Mercury will then die as a result of a fever.
- Jupiter will then die as a result of diseases.
- Venus will then die as a result of hunger.
- Saturn will then die as a result of thirst.
Is it possible to view astrology for a deceased person?
If a birth chart reveals our former lives’ deeds, may it also reveal information about life beyond death? And, if these two points are false, what value is there in the “free will” that people talk about? We spoke with Dr. Vinay Bajrangi, a leading Indian Vedic astrologer who has been revealing many Vedic astrological marvels to help educate the general public about the astrological postulates propagated by the Saptrishis and is also actively engaged in removing the donnish and conservative veil from astrology. He is a renowned birth time rectifier and a Karma corrector who has mastered the art of previous life reading. He has a one-of-a-kind talent to read horoscopes and predict the future. We were looking for answers about the horoscopes of the deceased in this release.
Dr. Vinay Bajrangi (Vinay Bajrangi): Yes! Your birth chart, as an imprint of your former lives, also predicts your future lives. Since the beginning, I’ve been presenting astrology’s theology. The arrangement of planets in one’s horoscope is not arbitrary, but has been methodically apportioned by the Almighty after careful examination of the deeds done by him/her in previous births (s). Now, the planets assigned to you may have some excellent Yogas (combinations) and some unfavorable Yogas (combinations). The good pairings are the blessings of previous births, while the unfavorable combinations are the curses of prior births. The native is thrown into a roller coaster of good and bad experiences as a result of these excellent and negative combinations.
However, one has some degree of free will, which is determined by Jupiter’s position in the horoscope.
One can influence the outcomes to some extent by exercising free will. The cycle continues, and however you utilize this free tool, the birth chart of your future birth will be determined. As a result, everyone’s major battle is to effectively employ free will to change bad karma into good karma. One can make the most of one’s free will by using competent astrological reading and guidance.
DVB: The foundations of any horoscope are planets, planet placements in specific signs, and specific Nakshatras. We get the Panchangna, the Dashas (periods), the Shodashvargas (finer charts), and the Asthakvarga from these placements. Every one hundred and twenty years, the Dashas are reported to revolve. A detailed and accurate reading of a person’s birth chart can disclose information about their entire past, present, and future lives.
DVB: The ninth house of the horoscope evaluates the native’s previous life, while the fifth house deciphers the native’s future existence. The pending karma that one has left undone or unfinished in a previous life is represented by the sixth house. The Dasha balance in which a person is born denotes the Dasha in which the soul departed the body in a former life.
The Lagna is the link between previous and current births, as well as an indicator of the birth’s purpose. The twelfth house represents the number of lives left until the native’s soul receives eternal salvation.
So, an accomplished astrologer can sketch the previous birth, the purpose of this birth, the pending karma left in the previous birth, the main obstacles of this birth, the Dasha when his/her soul left the body in the previous birth, the Dasha when his/her soul can leave the body in the present birth, and the journey of the soul in the birth(s) to come using the above indicators gathered from a horoscope. With this knowledge, the aim of the soul’s journey can be surmised, along with an indication of the time of its salvation, i.e., obtaining a permanent position in Vishnu’s abode, Baikuntha.
Question: What happens to a person’s birth chart after they pass away? Should a deceased person’s horoscope be read?
DVB: See, the spirit never dies; it is on a journey, changing bodies after bodies. Similarly, the horoscope lives until the soul’s final salvation. However, because we associate a horoscope with a living body, reading the soul’s path through the horoscope of a deceased person may not be reasonable. As a result, the horoscope of a deceased person is not visible.
However, some Doshas run in families and have a negative impact on all family members. It is sometimes important to read the horoscopes of the elderly who have passed away in order to comprehend and recommend a powerful restorative measure. However, in such instances, the astrologer should adhere to Vedic Astrology’s highest ethical standards and avoid scaring or playing with the emotions of the family members left behind.
DVB: Without a doubt, absolutely! Take, for example, Lord Rama’s family. Lord Rama was the sixty-fourth generation in the family lineage and was an incarnation of Lord Vishnu. Iksvaku, Manu’s son, was Lord Ram’s sixtieth great grandfather. To assist Lord Rama’s birth in the family lineage, he was to take seven births in the same family.
This is demonstrated by drawing Iksvaku’s horoscope and calculating his births (soul’s journey) till its final salvation.
Is it possible to count all of a soul’s births till its final salvation?
DVB: Sure, why not? But, please understand that astrology for the afterlife is not the same as conventional astrological predictions and analyses. It’s also a task that won’t be completed in a single day or two. Even a great astrologer may need weeks or months to come up with a solution. The amount of time it takes is determined by the number of births the soul will experience before reaching its final resting place. The greater the number of births, the more time an astrologer must devote to determining the quality and purpose of each future existence.
Drawing the soul’s path to its final resting place in ‘Baikuntha’ explains the efforts it made along the way and the achievements it accomplished in the upliftment of humans and other races.
Question: If fate is predetermined, how can free will influence the outcome?
DVB: One is born with pending karmas, or the karma that one must complete within this lifetime. The fate is ruled by the ninth house. Saturn’s transit determines fate, but Jupiter’s transit determines free will. If the transiting Jupiter is in trines to the natal Saturn, we can use our free will to our advantage, i.e., we can get our wish.
We must accept what fate wants from us if transiting Saturn is in trine to natal Jupiter. Normally, Saturn’s happenings are predetermined, but Jupiter’s events are the consequence of his own actions. The amount of free will accessible in the horoscope can be determined by Jupiter’s position in the horoscope, and the ease with which it can be used to control fate can be determined by its link with Saturn’s natal position.
If Jupiter and Saturn are in the 6/8 (Shadakshaka) position in a horoscope, it will be difficult to exercise free will, even when Jupiter is transiting through Saturn’s natal position. As a result, making good use of your Jupiter can help you shape fate to your benefit to a significant extent. As a result, everything is determined by the planets’ natal positions in a horoscope. The more difficult the placement of planets in horoscopes, the more births are required to achieve the moment of freedom for the soul.
Question: Can astrology assist us improve our future lives in addition to what is written in our horoscope?
DVB: In a horoscope, several obstructers work together to delay any results. The lord of the eleventh house is the principal obstructor for the moving sign, the lord of the ninth house for the fixed sign, and the lord of the seventh house for the dual sign. In any horoscope, appeasing this obstructor can be the most effective corrective method for enhancing free-will use. The corrective procedures are more than just Pujas, donations, or mantra recitation; they are a powerful infusion of karmic correction. Controlling the negative character created in oneself as a result of that obstructer planet is the goal of this karma rectification.
It may be difficult to recognize the negative character that one has as a result of that obstructer planet, but once it is recognized, suitable care can be made to correct it.
Which of the houses depicts death?
The eighth house, which governs death, is the darkest part of one’s natal chart. It can depict the manner in which one will die, as well as close experiences with death that the individual will have during his or her lifetime. The eighth house might indicate the deaths of others close to you, as well as near-death experiences. If you’re scared about dying and are gazing at your eighth house, we strongly advise you not to! Death isn’t always literal; it might be figurative as well. The eighth house is mostly concerned with metaphorical ends. A person born with certain planets in the eighth house may have an artistic bent toward death or be drawn to a dark aesthetic.
What is the meaning of dosha in death?
Death-related doshas are divided into three categories. Tripada Dosha is the name for this type of dosha. The tithies of Dwitiya, Panchmi, Shasthi, Ashtami, Ekadashi, Dwadasi, Trayodashi, Chaturdasi, and Amavasya are unlucky for death, and if someone dies during these tithies, Trithi dosha happens.
How can a horoscope predict the death of a father?
The 4th house ruler’s period can result in the death of a person’s parent. It is the seventh house, counting from the tenth. The father’s house is on the tenth floor. The era of the ruler of the 11th house can also be utilized to predict the biological father’s death. (Some regard the 9th house to be the father’s house, but I’ve discovered that it’s more appropriate for father figures, teachers, Guru/second-father/spiritual-father, ancestors, patrons, and so on.) The biological father is more visible in the tenth house).
What Is The Significance of Saturn?
Saturn is known as the Father of the Zodiac, Lord of Time, and Karma, all of which are significant names, but what do they all mean?
Saturn is a planet that governs our biggest karmic lessons in life, and it is frequently conjunct with our South Node. While this isn’t always the case, when it is, it indicates that once we’ve learned our Saturnian lesson, we’ll be able to move closer to the fate of our North Nodes.
