Astrological Combinations for Death of a Spouse

Venus and Malefic Influences

When Venus is hemmed between two malefics, or when three harsh planets occupy the fourth and eighth houses from Venus, the spouse is vulnerable to death through unusual causes such as fire, strangulation, or accidents. Venus in debility, in the sign of a malefic, or under conjunction with harsh planets signifies repeated loss of a partner. If multiple malefics afflict Venus, widowhood may occur several times, leading to remarriage but also instability, ill health, and humiliation.

Seventh House and Its Lord

Venus in the seventh house heightens sensuality and often brings marital instability. If Venus conjoins a malefic in any house, separation or death of spouse may follow. When the lord of the seventh house occupies the fifth, widowhood is likely. If the lords of the seventh and eighth exchange houses under malefic aspects, early loss of partner becomes possible. Malefics in the seventh or eighth from either Lagna or the Moon strongly suggest widowhood.

Specific Planetary Placements

Certain planetary positions are directly tied to partner’s death:

Venus in Scorpio in the seventh Mercury in Taurus in the seventh Jupiter in Capricorn in the seventh Saturn in Pisces in the seventh Mars in Pisces in the seventh

Mars and Saturn together in the seventh from Venus and Moon deny longevity of marriage and children. If Sun rises in the ascendant with Saturn in the seventh, partner’s death is strongly indicated.

Moon and Malefic Afflictions

A debilitated Moon in the fifth with malefics in the ascendant, seventh, and twelfth denies both spouse and children. The Moon in the sixth or eighth often brings widowhood early, sometimes within eight years of marriage. If Lagna and Moon are both surrounded by malefics without benefic influence, destruction of both families may occur.

Eighth House Connections

Saturn in the eighth house gives an ailing spouse and delays happiness in marriage. Mars in the eighth brings betrayal and marital loss. Rahu in the eighth destabilizes marital harmony and family traditions. If Venus is surrounded by malefics in the fourth or eighth, death of partner by strangulation is suggested. A weak Venus or Moon in the fourth points toward early widowhood.

Complex Combinations

If Mars, Rahu, and Saturn occupy the sixth, seventh, and eighth respectively, the spouse and even brothers may be lost. Venus with Saturn and Mars in the seventh from the Moon strongly indicates widowhood. Malefic lords in the sixth and twelfth or inauspicious shashtyamsha placements for the seventh lord bring partner’s death soon after marriage.

Multiple Marriages and Spouses

The number of planets in the seventh house reflects the number of marriages. Benefics indicate surviving spouses, while malefics show partners who die prematurely. Mercury, being dual in nature, in the seventh while two planets occupy the eleventh, indicates two spouses.

Other Indications

Sun and Rahu in the seventh deplete wealth through women. Weak Venus joined with the lords of the seventh or second in the sixth, eighth, or twelfth results in loss of multiple partners depending on malefic aspects. If the lord of the fifth sits in the seventh, combined with a malefic seventh lord and a weak Venus, death through complications of childbirth or abortion may occur. Malefics occupying the fourth and eighth from Venus often show death of spouse by fire or burns. When malefics afflict the eighth house, widowhood may occur during the planetary period of the navamsha lord of the eighth lord.

These combinations underline the vulnerability of marital stability under malefic afflictions. The severity of outcomes depends on overall chart strength and benefic influences that may neutralize or soften these effects.
