a question concerning life

[Mira]

Hello!
I really need to ask a very tough question and very difficult for me! It is difficult to me even to formulate it but after all it is an important one! My grandfather has been very sick for a month or so. I want to ask a question that is difficult to be asked, but needs an answer. Will he survive and will this state of illness pass? Is he going to live?
He went through a number of operations and his condition after that was improving, but then things went bad. I am afraid that they are going even worse!
I will be grateful if someone answers me even if the answer is an unpleasant one! But for me it is important to have any answer!

Mira,

I don't have commentary on the chart you attached, but on what you asked. This is my opinion, and I hope it helps. Just disregard if it doesn't .

People have free will sometimes (I believe) and a lot depends on the particular person's WILL to live. My mother lived several years past a death sentence given her by her doctors. She was very tenacious, and that matters. People who are depressed or weak/in pain may look at death as a welcome release.

We humans may hang on to loved ones who want to pass on because they are tired and have been through enough maybe, and its is hard when we hold them back. I have seen it several times. It wasn't really fair to the person wanting to move on.

Maybe I am the wrong person to comment; admittedly your post touched a nerve in me because I watched as my old friend practically forced his 98 year old dad to live ---clearly he wanted to be left alone.

When I pray for people to be healed now I have a new way of phrasing it: I pray that they be healed and whatever is for THEIR BEST AND HIGHEST. Sometimes dying IS for their best and highest...

Hello Mira:

I used the 7th house to represent your grandfather.  I suppose the 7th could be the father of the father, but if it is the father of the mother, the 7th could represent him anyway to avoid confusion with the ASC.

He is ruled by Venus which is in his 12th house of confinement.  It is dignified by being in its own sign, so I'd say he feels ok about his passing (could mean he is strong, but I don't think in this case it applies).  His 8th house of death is ruled by Jupiter.  Venus makes an applying sextile to Jupiter (he meets his death), according to the ephemeris, in 9 units of time.  Since Venus is in a slow fixed sign but in a cadent quick house, we should assign the time as between fast and slow - 9 weeks (not 9 days). 

You don't say why it is important to know if he will live, but with families that are waiting and being responsible, these things are pertinent.  Horary is not always right, especially if there is a mistake in the reading, so get more people to decipher your answer, please.

Thanks a lot for the answers! I really appreciate them! I was hoping that probably there is a little chance for things to get better after this crisis passes, but it doesn't seem so. I must admit that I knew the answer of the question as I see how things are going, yet I needed to try and see if there is just a little hope!
Thanks again for the answers!

Mira,

Barbara did a nice job in specifically answering your question. A few things I didn't know, myself. I hope you can take a little bit of peace away from this thread.
