I'm trying to figure out what transits might correlate with 3 people in my life dying suddenly in the last four months. All three were people who were part of my life but not my daily life, and in all but one case, it took weeks or even a couple of months after the death for me to hear about it.
The first two were friends of mine. Neither was a super close friend, but they were both people I knew through groups or activities, and I would talk to them whenever I saw them, which was usually several times a year. We had some shared passions and causes. They both died suddenly, in their late forties, with no health problems that I knew of (although it came out later that one of them had much more precarious health than he'd let on). The first one passed in late November, but I didn't hear about it til late January. The second passed in late January, and I heard about it nearly a month later.
Right on the heels of those two deaths, I don't know if it's just that my awareness was raised, or if there's a theme here, but I heard a couple of similar stories about recent sudden deaths of people who were around that same age. Those people were people I didn't know, but they were friends of acquaintances who were talking about them... it felt relevant.
Then within the last week, my cousin died. She was part of my life since I was a child, not daily, but a regular guest at family holiday celebrations. She was a generation older than me, early seventies, and she'd been battling cancer for years. What was unexpected was not that she finally succumbed, but because she'd been beating the odds for so long, and was still walking around last Christmas, it felt sudden when the news came.
I've never had this many deaths happen around me this close together. So, I looked to my transits, progressions, and last solar return to see if there's anything going on there that would correlate with that.
First thing that pops out at me is that solar eclipse last August. I'm a Leo, the eclipse happened less than a week after my solar return, so you'd think I'd be affected. The eclipse squared my nodes and Mars, while transiting Mars was on my sun at the time. All in my eighth house. Sun rules my eighth, Mars rules my fourth and eleventh houses.
Then, there's a Mars and Moon theme in solar return and progressions. At my solar return, the moon was applying conjunction to my natal Mars. In my current progressions, p-Moon and p-Mars are conjunct and separating from opposition with natal Moon.
If there are any other likely correlations with sudden death of people in your life--planets or houses that are usually involved, anything like that--I'd like to hear about it.
