Conditions of death

Profile of radix randhra bhava = the material conditions of death

  • Randhra bhava = Dhanus; receiving drishti of Mangala, Shukra, Surya, and Budha
  • Material conditions of death are defined by:
    • L-8/L-11 uchcha Guru = a strong karaka for Surgery and Children. Uchcha Guru as L-6 from Chandra shows the underlying heart condition, caused by emotional over-expansion (too much giving of the maternal life force without pause to refresh. No-pause-allowed is imposed by the duty-roster swakshetra Shani.)
    • L-7/L-12 Mangala = hospital work, professional relationships, and death.
      • Mangala drishti reduces longevity and grants a sudden death
      • Mangala in lagna in any rashi is a potential indicator of high blood-pressure.
      • Mangala in a rashi of Shukra (Venus) is associated with a buildup of pressure in the venous system (typically a valve disorder.). After bearing five children, the native suffered from severely painful "varicose veins". The bulging and discoloration (Rahu) of the skin (Kumbha) attributable to venous blood hemorrhage may have been an external expression of deep internal venous system damage.
      • Deep-vein thrombosis is a suspect when an empowered Shani (resistance, blockage, clots) casts drishti upon Moon (flow of liquids) in a rashi of Venus (veins).
      • Combined with the weak heart indicated by Ketu-Simha-4, a blood-pressure (Mangala) related condition was the likely physical cause of death.
      • Mangala in Vrishabha (jaw) may indicate an invasion of the neck or jaw, likely an infection of the jaw in a wound, caused by surgery. Indeed, she had a history of severe dental problems and was undergoing a series of maxillofacial surgeries which involved cutting and drilling into the jaw.
    • L-2/L-5 Budha = children, money, knowledge, and death
    • L-1/L-6 Shukra = physical body appearance, clinical medicine
    • L-4 Surya = home and education
  • 8th-from-Chandra = the Vrishabha lagna ( Mrigashira) containing riple-maraka L-7 Mangala
    • Mangala = L-7/L-12 from lagna and L-2/L-7 from Chandra
    • L-8 from Chandra = Mithuna Shukra in domain-2
It could be said that she "died of children". The native was a full-time Registered Nurse employed in the obstetrics ward of a religious hospital. She was dedicated to her professional ministry and she was also, herself, the birth mother of five children.

Consistent with the uchcha L-11 Guru, where Brihaspati is also L-6 from Chandra, this woman medically assisted the births (and also some deaths) of thousands of children within her lifetime.


Career-lord Swakshetra L-9/L-10 Shani in domain-9 is another karaka for children and also for the professional duty roster, including the duty of teaching supervision (9) of graduate nurses.

Considering the impact of Shani drishti upon L-8 Guru, it could also be said that she "died of religion". This female native was employed in a large urban hospital operated by a celibate religious order of nursing sisters. The nuns were engaged in an intensive charitable ministry of service, toward which they gave "110%" of their time and concentrated professional attention.

Unfortunately the celibate sisters expected the same level of professional excellence and seriousness from their lay nurses, including the deceased female mother of five young children. Thus the native, brimming with competitive and creative energy from Vrishabha Kuja in lagna (Kuja also uchcha in D-9 putra) and filled with the emotional drive toward service ministry from her domain-6 Thula Soma, undertook a double life. Her secret? Eliminate sleep!

  • Female native was a night-shift hospital obstetrics nurse. Working in Labor and Delivery, she assisted thousands of childbirths. (Mutual aspect from uchcha Guru, abundance of children.).

  • he work was demanding. Regulated by both medical protocols and a strict status hierarchy of male physicians, superior nursing sisters, and finally lay female nurses.


Fourth-from = "the end of things" 4th-from-Chandra = Shani/Makara
  • = work duties in the home combined with more public professional service L-9/L-10 and this Shani workload casts drishti upon the L-8 super-expansive uchcha Guru.
  • Shani drishti to Chandra, public service demands oppress the maternal and self-regenerating lunar energies.
  • 4th-from-Soma = fulfillment of duties creates Shani- duty-pressure upon the emotional heart.
    • A strictly rule-oriented childhood environment where parental love and acceptance is granted for performance behavior, not through unconditional affection.
    • The native died in an orderly setting, at home.
    • Shani is associated with blockage and clots.
4th-from-radix-lagna = Ketu/Simha
  • Understanding of death, at the time of death = domain-4 =Ketu
    • suggests that the native experienced a devaluation of the life-force connection expressed in the detachment from heart function.
    • 4th-from = the 'heart' or 'root' of any matter.Ketu in Simha/4 exposes the underlying physical heart weakness and L-4 Surya in maraka domain-2 shows a relationship between the weak heart, the environment of the home, and death.
    • bhukti-pati Guru ransit to Ketu/Simhaat time of death
  • L-2 Budha is also the primary career-lord = L-10 navamsha = Budha = communicative nature of her profession. Budha = radix L-2/L-5, in 9th-from-Chandra, deep association with children.

Remember to Practice Dying so that you are ready when the time comes!
