People who are afraid of death don't talk about death. They somehow think it's not going to happen to them so they often don't make wills, don't follow their dreams as they all think they have plenty of time.
With Neptune in 8th house with a grand water trine, I've been fascinated with death since I was a teenager. Not out of fear but out of curiosity. I've read numerous testimonies from people who have experienced NDE, read various religious texts about death. It's nothing to fear. That's why people die often when planets tenant their 8th house, particularly Jupiter as death is often a release.
I've had many dreams of dead people, famous people I don't even know. I had to look up their names to find out who they were.
If death were more open in Western society, there wouldn't be all this fear surrounding it.
I would love to know when I'm going to die as I have a 'bucket list' and cannot fulfill many of them right now due to financial restraints.But if I knew when I was going to die, then I could plan to do at least a couple of them by racking up credit cards, etc since I wouldn't be around to worry about the bills.
If a person visits an astrologer and asks for a death prediction, what's wrong
with that? You are implying that astrologers are going to go around making
death predictions to those who never asked! Or that an astrologer will go about telling 'unscrupulous' relatives when their family members are going
to kick the bucket so what.......that the relatives can plan when they will
get their inheritance??? Your comments make no sense.
Some people like myself don't view death as the big taboo subject and can
discuss it openly and maturely.
Maybe you have to have planets in 8th to understand this.
People request death predictions out of fear of dying, fear of a loved one's dying ,prurient curiosity, and hopes for an inheritance. There are all kinds of problems with addressing any one of these. You can scare the bejeezus out of a vulnerable. frightened person. You can seriously invade a patient's privacy. You can play into the hands of unscrupulous relatives hoping to snag granny's inheritance.
And you might be dead wrong in your prediction. Even if you believe you have a sound method, it's easy to misread a chart, have an incorrect birth time, or simply not have your method pan out this time around.
People who imagine death to be just another type of life event have never been around a dying person. Naivete about dying does not an argument for death prediction make.
