‘When will I die?’ is a question that most people throughout the world would like to know the answer to. Despite the fact that the answer may not be to our favor, the question continues to intrigue us. Death is unquestionably one of Nature’s greatest mysteries. It can occur both formally and informally. Death doesn’t care if you’re rich or poor, young or elderly. It is, in other terms, the great leveler. In the Mahabharatha, the Pandavas are confronted with death in the shape of a Yaksha who lives in a lake. When the Pandavas were exiled and dwelling in the wilderness, a brahmin approached them and asked them to retrieve the sacred grass that a deer had stolen. Yudhishtira dispatched his brothers to look for it, but none of them came back. Finally, when he went looking for them, he discovered them dead on the shores of a lake. He was taken aback because he had no idea what had happened to them. He tried to sip some water from the lake since he was thirsty. He was suddenly cautioned not to drink the water from the lake because he would perish, just like his siblings, if he did. The voice belonged to the Yaksha, who resided in the lake. He had to answer his questions first before drinking, or he would perish, according to the Yaksha. Yudhishtira agreed, and the Yaksha interrogated him extensively. Yudhishtira was correct in his answers. It was one of these, “What is the most incredible thing that has ever happened to you? Yudhishtira responded, “Humans act as though they will live forever, despite the fact that they are mortal.
Yudhishtira said exactly what he meant. We would be more conscious of our deeds on Earth if we accepted that death is unavoidable. Astrology is the study of how the planets and stars influence human fate. An astrologer can use a person’s horoscope to forecast when he or she will die. The planetary placements in the horoscope will suggest the most likely time for death. Despite the fact that many individuals ask astrologers when they will die, most astrologers are hesitant to give a specific answer for a variety of reasons. Some even justify their actions by claiming that astrologers are not allowed to foretell a person’s death.
People wish to know when or how they will die for a variety of reasons, one of them is to avoid it. For example, if the astrologer forecasts that they will be involved in an accident, they may become more cautious. Alternatively, if they are at risk for an illness, they can get regular check-ups to discover it early and receive appropriate treatment.
In astrology, predicting the exact time of death is quite difficult. It is determined by the planetary placements, as well as the Dasha and Sub-Dasha periods. There are no shortcuts or one-of-a-kind procedures for predicting the outcome. Death can be caused by a variety of elements, circumstances, and combinations. Astrology predicts what will or will not happen. The time can only be determined by examining the placements of all planets in conjunction with the Sun in the natal chart, as well as the Dasha system. Saturn, Uranus, Pluto, Neptune, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and the Sun are some of the planets that are karakas of death.
Venus
When Venus/Shukra is prominent in a chart, the person may pass away gently in his or her sleep or after a protracted illness. Venus has the ability to alleviate pain.
Jupiter
Tumors are ruled by Jupiter/Guru. It could be a sign of cancer or death from an incurable condition. If Jupiter is stimulated by transits in a natal chart, this will be obvious. It has the potential to cause a slow death.
Mars
Mars/Mangal can represent aggression or death. Death can occur as a result of a fire, shooting, or stabbing because it governs things like fire, guns, and knives. It will come as a shock and be upsetting. Death is hasty when Mars is in your horoscope.
Pluto is associated with violent death and severe trauma. Consider a sudden aneurysm that results in instant death or a car accident that results in a lethal injury.
Uranus is the polar opposite of Saturn in many ways. It denotes unexpected happenings; hence, death may strike out of nowhere. Uranus is also the planet that governs accidents and surgeries. The planet is linked to strange and unexpected occurrences.
Neptune is the god of water, hence death by drowning or an accident in the water is a possibility. When Neptune is engaged in a chart at the moment of death, the death may be unexplainable or occur while sleeping.
Sun – The Sun’s location in relation to other planets can aid in the prediction of death. Its placement in the natal chart indicates how a person will die.
Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are often used to represent the Vedic astrological beings Rahu and Ketu. These three planets in the solar system are seen to be dispersed with the qualities of Rahu and Ketu, which are Lunar Nodes and have no existence. Rahu’s characteristics are observed in Uranus, Ketu’s characteristics are seen in Neptune, and Pluto’s attributes are seen in Rahu, Ketu, and Saturn.
The reasons for dying will change when various planets occupy the eighth house or the Ascendant. If they are in the Ascendant or the eighth house of the birthchart, the shadow planet known as the Dragon’s head (Rahu) brings death by accidents and snake bites, while the Dragon’s tail (Ketu) causes death by lightning and supernatural activities.
It’s only natural to want to know how and when we’ll die. However, other astrologers believe that it is preferable not to know such things because the information may torment the individual and hinder them from completely enjoying their life, particularly if the birthchart indicates a premature or violent death. However, there is no harm in knowing if one simply wishes to be cautious and avoid things that could endanger one’s life. It is better to be forewarned than to be forearmed.
You can talk to an online astrologer if you want to learn more about this. He or she will be able to answer such queries using your birth details.

In astrology, how can I find out when I will die?
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.
Which planet is responsible for premature 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 home 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 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.
