In traditional astrology the most important method of predicting death was by the use of primary directions. To predict death move the ascendant degree by calculation a certain distance each year clock-wise until it reaches the conjunction, opposition or square of a malefic or ruler of the eighth house. This will indicate the most dangerous years in the life of the native.
However, you will need more than one testimony to make a prediction of death. The yearly profections were used also. If the ruler of the year is ruled by the same planet as that shown by the primary direction then death is very probable. In addition you can also look at the solar return and even transits.
The main issue with primary directions is how to calculate them. Over the centuries they suffered from a multiplication of entities. That is there are so may ways to do it that no one knows how to do it anymore. It became so complicated that astrologers stopped using it. The ancient Greeks used the rising times of the signs, but I cannot get any consistent results from this method either.
After much experimenting, I have found that the simplest method is the most effective. Just count one year for each degree clock-wise. This just like counting one year for each sign with counter clock-wise profections. In astrology the simplest method is the most effective.
So if you are interested in predicting death give this a try. It is not difficult, and it is not a useless activity. You may be able to save your life. My primary direction to the opposition of Mars was just a few years ago. It was just one near death experience after another and several totaled cars. But I walked away from all of it, and others had to pay me for it.
