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 house represents death?
The eighth house in astrology is ruled by the zodiac sign Scorpio and the planet Pluto. It’s thought to be the home of sex, taboos, death, resurrection, and other people’s belongings. From these broad categories, we can deduce that it also governs legacies, heritages, and wills. Similarly, the eighth house is one of the portals into the spiritual realm, and it is often associated with occult and magic.
When it comes to teaching us about life and its purpose, the eighth house is one of the best lecturers. It’s the realm of life-changing encounters.
Is it possible to foretell the future using astrology?
This is likely the most harmful assumption about astrology that people make. Its function, contrary to popular assumption, is not to predict what will happen to you in the future. Instead, it’s supposed to be a guiding tool that allows you to make informed judgments and steer clear of life’s pitfalls. Astrology seeks to keep you in tune with the universe’s oneness. It can help you make better decisions when you’re not aligned and things keep going wrong.
Many individuals believe that an astrologer has the power to influence their lives or fate. This is not an option. Consider the following scenario: Because an astrologer did not create your fate, he cannot alter it. Your subconscious and collected karma are the ones who have shaped your fate. You have the opportunity to edit your life a little bit in life by your choices and decisions. You built it, so you have some control over it, but you can’t change it entirely.
Let me put it this way: you’ll never grow into an orange tree if you’re an apple seed. You may not be able to avoid contracting a sickness, but you can choose how you treat and deal with it. In this way, astrology may assist you by serving as a guide to help you make decisions that will allow you to experience the finest possible outcome of your own personal destiny. It all begins with you and finishes with you; it’s that simple.
What if the 8th house is vacant?
Astrology’s Empty 8th House Even though it is an unlucky house, it does not create any trouble while it is vacant. Instead, the impacts could be beneficial. In astrology, an empty 8th house indicates that the natives will not be involved in any accidents. It also implies that the locals will be creative.
What happens when you die?
Before his body was brought inside the funeral home, John had been dead for nearly four hours. For the most part, he had been in good health. He’d spent his entire life working in the Texas oil fields, a profession that kept him physically fit and busy. He had given up smoking decades before and drank only in moderation. Then, on a chilly January morning at home, he had a huge heart attack (presumably caused by additional, unspecified issues), collapsed to the floor, and died nearly instantly. He was only 57 years old when he died.
John was now lying on Williams’ metal table, his corpse draped in a white linen sheet, chilly and rigid to the touch, his skin purplish-grey, indicating that he was in the early stages of decomposition.
A rotting corpse is brimming with life, far from being ‘dead.’ A growing number of experts see a decaying body as the foundation of a huge and intricate ecosystem that emerges shortly after death and grows and evolves as it decomposes.
A process known as autolysis, or self-digestion, begins decomposition many minutes after death. Cells are deprived of oxygen shortly after the heart stops pumping, and their acidity rises as poisonous by-products of chemical reactions begin to build inside them. As cells break down, enzymes begin to breakdown cell membranes and subsequently seep out. This usually starts in the liver, which contains a lot of enzymes, and the brain, which has a lot of water. However, all other tissues and organs eventually begin to degrade in the same way. Damaged blood cells begin to stream out of ruptured vessels and settle in capillaries and tiny veins, discoloring the skin with gravity’s help.
The body’s temperature begins to decline as it adjusts to its new environment. Then comes rigor mortis, or death stiffness, which begins in the eyelids, jaw, and neck muscles before spreading to the trunk and limbs. Muscle cells contract and relax in life due to the actions of two filamentous proteins that slide along each other (actin and myosin). The cells lose their energy supply after death, and the protein filaments get stuck in place. The muscles become tight and the joints become locked as a result of this.
What 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.
In death, what is Dosha?
Death-related doshas are divided into three categories. Tripada Dosha is the name for this type of dosha. Dwitiya, Panchmi, Shasthi, Ashtami, Ekadashi, Dwadasi, Trayodashi , Chaturdasi, & Amavasya tithies are inauspicious for death, if somethione dies in these thithi, Trithi dosha occurs.
Why is Maraka in the 7th house?
The second and seventh houses of the Maraka Planets are known as the Maraka or Killer or Death Inflicting houses. As a result, their rulers are known as Maraka or Killer Planets. As a result, the Maraka Planets will be unique to each ascendant. Also, only the house lords will be considered Maraka Planets, not planets sitting in these two houses.
Why are the second and seventh houses known as Maraka Houses?
The second residence is usually associated with family life and affluence. The principal house of relationships is the 7th house. So, why are these two houses referred to as Maraka or Killer houses, when practically everyone aspires to reach these goals in life? There are two explanations for this: one is astrological, and the other is metaphorical.
a. Numerology
The 8th house is the house of endurance. Because the 7th house is 12th from the 8th, it signifies a loss of longevity. As a result, the 7th house is Maraka/Killer/Death Inflicting. Similarly, the third house is the eighth house from the eighth house. It is the 8th house’s Bhavat Bhavam, and it contains the same energy of longevity. Because the 2nd house is 12th from the 3rd house, it also signifies a loss of longevity. As a result, the second house is a Maraka/Killer/Death Inflicting dwelling.
Symbolism b.
The house of family is the second house, and the house of relationships is the seventh house. So, if you want these two things in your life, you must give up your selfish and self-centered ambitions. You can’t have ego and be in a relationship at the same time. So, if you’re dealing with things relating to the 2nd and 7th houses, you’ll need to destroy your own self/ego and egoistic impulses. As a result, these two are known as the Maraka/Killer/Death Inflicting House. It symbolizes the death of a person’s ego in this case.
Distinct ascendants have different Maraka Planets.
The following are the maraka planets for various ascendants who are lords of the 2nd and 7th houses.
