The above chart is a good example of Mrityu Bhaga with Venus within 4 minutes of the exact point. I have copped a bit of flack about this chart as this man is a good friend and is getting married this year I'm told. He didn't tell me this, as I told him he should never get married legally as his chart is too badly afflicted for a successful marriage. He was very upset with me and has not spoken of this again with me.

Venus is in retrograde motion and situated with ava yogi planet, the 7th lord Sun. Sun and Venus are both disposited by the Mercury which is the 8th lord and very badly afflicted. His mother had a life of suffering and died early as shown by the Moon in the 8th house in the sign of Mercury. Mercury the 8th lord of death is in the 4th house of mother destroyed by malefics. Venus is the 4th lord of Mother situated on the Mrityu Bhaga degree.

Venus is the karaka of marital happiness and in this case emotional and domestic life, so it being placed on the Mrityu Bhaga point is very difficult. The 7th house is badly aspected by Saturn and Mars and the 7th lord is ava yogi planet. This man is now close to 45 years old and has been engaged twice, but never married. He is a good looking man with a kind personality and good career. He has his own home and a steady girlfriend. I still think marriage will not work because of the above factors. Some, including his girlfriend, see me as a bad influence on him because of what I've said, but they are not in a position to judge my conclusions unfortunately.

Not surprisingly this man is also a good friend and was also born on the same day. He however, was born in Thailand and was a Buddhist monk for 14 years from the time he was 14 years old until 28 years of age. His mother also died as shown by the 8th lord Jupiter in the 4th house of mother and the above mentioned afflictions involving the Moon and Mercury. He has been married twice since leaving the monkhood and the first marriage was a disaster. The first wife was very symbolic of Saturn and Rahu in Scorpio his 7th house of partner. The second marriage has been a little better but still very difficult. His Venus is also retrograde and on the Mrityu Bhaga point.

I feel Venus retrograde is already a bad thing! but here in these two charts the dispositor of Venus is crushed by malefic influence. The 7th house in both charts is greatly influenced by malefics. This also shows that these malefic influences certainly don't deny a person relationships, but relationship comes with a certain amount of suffering and misery. Both these men are proverbial good guys and actually know each other too. Both show very clearly why these Mrityu Bhaga points cannot be ignored.

The above chart is of a girl I actually live with and she is a very beautiful Thai girl. She has never ever had a boyfriend or sexual relationship even though she is close to 29 years old. Once again Venus is retrograde and very close to the exact Mrityu Bhaga point. Venus also has the destructive influence of Mars. Venus is hemmed between malefics so there is no love life. This girl is very repressed and doesn't even like being touched by a man. This I feel comes from the strong influence of Saturn in her chart as Saturn aspects the Moon and Sun by close orb. Rahu is the ava yogi in the sign of Saturn in the 5th house of love affairs and also trine to Saturn. The 12th lord of bedroom pleasures Sun, is also with Saturn. Something else of great importance is that this afflicted Venus is also the dispositor of Mercury, Saturn and Sun.

This chart above is also of a beautiful Thai girl who works for me and is a good friend of the girl in the previous chart. She was born exactly one week before the other girl and shares the afflictions to Venus. Her Venus is in forward motion and she has enjoyed some success in her relationships. This girl has been my white whale in many respects and the curious can note the positive aspects between our charts. In particular is the fact we share the same yoni and I am the male Rat and she is the female Rat as our Moon's are very close.

The first male and this girl plan to get married this year to their long time partners and the other girl has a man chasing her who is in Thailand, so there is major obstructions to them getting together as would be expected by her chart.

What is a real mind twister for me is that I am close to all these people and of course my Mars is at 11 degrees Aquarius making it exactly trine to all these people's Venus. This puts them together in the same navamsha in Capricorn. My lagna lord is at 15 degrees Capricorn also. My Mars is on the Mrityu Bhaga point and so is these peoples Venus. Is this just a coincidence? What can be interpreted from this? There seems to be something fated about all of us being close. The first girl in particular is very friendly with the other two men which would be expected as her Mars conjuncts their Venus and their Venus's are all on the same degree.

The last girl who has me under her spell has a very powerful effect on me when we come close physically. There is something very karmic between both these girls and myself as shown by their nodes in exchange with mine.

Jupiter will transit Venus for all these people this year and two are getting married and one is a maybe. The man born in Taurus may have difficulties in his marriage as Jupiter is his 8th lord. His marriage has been shaky already. I wonder how long harmony will prevail for those getting married as Saturn is not far behind Jupiter. In particular the chart of my white whale is interesting as she was born in Cancer and Saturn is both 7th and 8th lord. Saturn is also her ava yogi planet and has the aspect of Rahu who is in the 7th house. Her chart is one for widowhood or certainly divorce.
