Is
death shown in an astrological chart? Of course. Is the prediction
certain? It’s as certain as predictions go, the success rate is the
same as with predictions on all the other areas of life. If one wants
to stay away from such matters, it’s perfectly understandable, but
they must not go around claiming that these matters are beyond
astrology.
Here
is Montserrat’s chart (a bi-wheel with secondary progressions). It
has a B Rodden rating. The time was taken from her biography and not
from a birth certificate, hence the B rating. However, it seems to
work quite well (for her death at least).
We
see immediately that the secondary progressed ascendant is conjunct
natal Saturn or, if you prefer primary directions, we have Saturn
directed to a conjunction with the ascendant. It’s the same thing.
Saturn is the Greater Infortune and the most obvious anaereta
(killing planet), particularly in a nocturnal chart. Saturn, though,
seems quite well-behaved in Aquarius and had the chart been diurnal,
he could perhaps be called a benefic. At the same time, however, we
have a Mars/Mars square (primarily directed Mars squaring his natal
position) and this aggravated things. Mars rules the gallbladder and
he co-rules the 1st house (Montserrat herself) and 6th house
(illness) in her chart. Caballé died (ascendant conjunct Saturn) a
month after entering the hospital because of a gallbladder infection
(Mars square Mars).
