This
is a chart of a client who died of cancer in August, 2005. She
was in a Mercury-Venus-Ketu Vimshottari dasha period. She began
her 17 year Mercury mahadasha in 1999, which began a period
of decline of her health.
The 2nd and 7th houses are maraka, or death-inflicting houses.
Notice how Mercury is in the 7th house. It, therefore, becomes
a maraka planet simply by its location in the 7th house, and
a Mercury mahadasha could indicate her final mahadasha period.
Mercury is also conjunct the Sun, the 2nd lord, another maraka
planet. This reinforces the death-inflicting potential of a
Mercury mahadasha.
She was diagnosed with Cancer in 2002 in a Mercury-Ketu period.
She had a successful surgery in that year and didn't have a
relapse of her cancer until the fall of 2004 in her Mercury-Venus-Saturn
period. As soon as Saturn transited into Cancer, and aspected
her lagna, and was opposite her Sun and Mercury she had the
relapse.
Notice also how Venus is in the 8th house, the house of chronic
illness, struggle and death. Looking at Venus from two alternate
lagnas, the Sun, and mahadasha planet, Mercury, Venus is in
the 2nd house, a maraka house. She struggled for about 10 months
with various kinds of medical treatment but to no avail. She
died a peaceful death while Saturn was within 7 degrees of both
her lagna and Sun by transit.
