Predicting Death With Horary Astrology

With Jupiter applying to oppose Pluto, it's a good time to explore using horaryastrology to predict death.

Most astrologers unneccessarily make a philosophical and ethical issue over thesubject, but the reality is that such a mentality is patently absurd for four majorreasons

!. "eath is a natural part of life# as such it is eminently predictable and aperfectly valid $uestion, just as birth or pregnancy $uestions are. %ohuman being has ever escaped death, as such, death $uestions are validto in$uire and analy&e astrologically.

. ( horary chart )or any other astrology chart or horoscope* is nothing morethan a current transit chart applied to a $uestion. +t possesses no inherentpo er to make anything happen or magical $ualities. +t's a snapshot of thesky at a specific point in time-nothing else.

. Planets don't care hat humans think, or orry about astrological theoryor social conventions. /hey do hat they do )orbit the solar system*regardless.

0. +f astrology can't predict death, it can't predict anything else, either. /heplanetary orbits don't shut do n or stop orking because they 1kno 1 aperson is asking a $uestion about death. )2ee 3 above*. /he chart alsoon't 1self4protect1 by turning up 1non4radical1 or 1not fit to be judged1charts, hich don't actually exist. )/here is no such thing as an 1unradical1or 1invalid1 horary chart or $uestion# those are nonsense by4products of anastrologer's o n limitations, dogmas, or lack of interpretive skill.*

What you wouldn't do is interpret a chart for someone ith serious issues, or acandidate for suicide. /hose people you ould refer out to a mental healthspecialist, because astrology has its limits. (strology %5657 supersedes reality,and if someone is a threat to themselves, you'd do hat any sane andreasonable non4astrological person ould do in the same situation you'd moveheaven and earth to get them help via a mental health expert or medicalattention.

8ou don't ant to push someone teetering over the edge. /he $uerent ill hearhat they ant to hear, hether you actually said it or not, and you ill end upresponsible and ith a heavy load of fallout for something that could easily have

been avoided. 9ne very famous astrologer had a client commit suicide not longafter a session# it deeply affected him and he reali&ed he needed a psychologybackground to better serve his clients. /he incident, and his subse$uent degreein psychology, helped to make him one of the best astrologers alive. +t'sunfortunate that because he couldn't read the mundane signs and symptoms of acandidate for suicide, it took a tragedy for him to attain his level of astrologicalexcellence through psychology.

2o caveats aside, let's take a look at the nuts and bolts of death charts. /his firstchart is a $uestion posed a couple years ago by a young oman hosegrandmother as in her death throes. +t as obvious she asn't going to lastlong based on the $uerent's description of the symptoms. /he $uerent cast thechart for her location to see hen )timing* and the circumstances surrounding her

grandmother's imminent demise. /his is perfectly normal, acceptable, and valid./here is no reason not to read the chart.
