Yes, Astrology can predict death.
I use a highly complicated method called 'Pravir' system, that can predict death within +/- 2 days!
This method was invented by an astrologer from India , he was a school teacher and almost at the fag end of his life published a small book (125 pages) explaining his system.The book is in Marathi language, the book is so complicated that Marathi being mother tongue and years of astrology study behind me, I couldn't understand a line from it. This method neither Vedic nor KP , not based on any known Astrological theories, seems that it is his own invention. He used Nakshatras , Solar revolution , Planetary aspects etc. He has devised certain rules. If you do the mathematics and follow the rules you will get some 3 to 4 probable dates for death, then you have to use your common sense and other astrology knowledge to figure out the D-Day (of course it is not that easy as it may appear.)
The person Mr Prasad Vichare , died without any recognition, no body heard of him, no body remembers him, his book however survived , I have a scanned copy of that book . Of course it is in Marathi , I can share but I don't know how many on this forum speak Marathi.
Later some 2 years ago, another Marathi astrologer accepted the challenge and decoded that logic with painstaking efforts (I believe he spent almost half a year for this project) , he then translated that book in English and created several Excel worksheets , look up tables, as well as some 100+ case studies! Every thing was published on a yahoo discussion forums and now available in Public domain. So any body interested in this theory can try out at his/her own risk!
Details about where to find that book , are at the end of this message.
But it is unethical to predict death and in my entire career I used it (for my clients) only once.
Recently, in the last July, I used it.
One of my relatives was chronically ill, heart disease + Kidney failure. That man was a retired person and his wife was having a very good job (high post, big salary) . Due this health problems the person was in hospital off and on for several months then on dialysis (every alternate day) , his wife took a long leave from her job to pay attention to her husband, she exhausted all her paid leaves , then she went on 'leave without pay', but that too have certain limits so a time came that either she has to resume job or quit. Although she was ready to quit her job for her husband , quitting job means losing many career opportunities ahead, she was also expecting a job promotion that was her life time ambition.
At that point she approached me. I tried the 'Pravir' system and I found that her husband is going to die by Aug 8th, 2013. It was July 2013 running, I didn't tell her that her husband is going to die pretty soon but just I advised her to extend her leave without pay till Aug 15 , and then quit the job.
Well, that man died on 6th Aug. That was sad but the lady could keep her job, got promoted as expected.
Those who are interested in this method can search on scribd for 'Pravir' , you will get a bunch of documents and Excel worksheets and around 100+ case studies.
If you can't find it, contact me then with the help of forum moderators I will try to make that set available to all.
But remember , predicting death is unethical and I don't encourage it.
Hope this helps
