Example 22: the 12th is Pisces a Ubhayodaya sign. He can go either way to Nirvana or Narakaloka.
Example 23: The lord of the 12th sign is Guru, he is conjunct with
benefic Chandra. He will go to Kailash of lord Shiva.
Example 24: the lord of the 9th is Guru, this is the divine house of Bhagya. He was a Brahmin in his previous life and lived outside of India. The 5th house lord is Surya. He will act as a Kshatriya for occupation in the future.
Example 25: Guru in past life is in an inimical sign Vrishabha;
Surya in future birth is in an inimical sign Makara. He will live outside of his birth country, namely South Africa.
Example 28 (i): The lord of Lagna is Ma whose exultation sign is Makara occupied by Surya the lord of the 5th. This satisfies sutra 28 and the native will be a human being in future birth.
Example 28 (ii): the lord of Lagna Ma is neutral to Sukra the lord of Vrishabha to which sign the lord of the 9th Guru is deposited. The native in his past birth was an animal but benefic as he was a Brahmin.
5112 Method of Longevity-
Exit from the World -
Sutra 28: the death may take place when Saturn, Jupiter Sun and the Moon in course of their transit pass through:
(i) The house occupied by the lord of the 8th. (ii) The house occupied by the lord of the 12th. (iii) The house occupied by the lord of the 6th.
(iv) The house occupied by the 8th house Decante i.e. the 22nd drekkana.
Using Jyotish Tools computer program www.jyotishtools.com and using the Muhurta Tool in the Tool Menu the following transits can fix the time of death, when the native becomes unconscious before passing, the soul being released only during cremation, unless there is evidence in the chart of a Meritorious Soul or Saint.
5112 Method to Determine Longevity :-
From the Vedas: “Jivem Sharadah Shataam”
1st Stage Lagna and at least one of the transiting planets : Saturn, Jupiter, Sun or Moon are there then this 1st Muhurta chart is the time when bodily debilitation starts.
(ii) If all of the above lords cannot form a conjunction in rasi lagna then place as many of these transiting parameters as possible in lagna and place the balance in powerful aspecting
positions.
o Then this 1st Muhurta chart is the time of life when debilitation of body starts.
o If after the 1st Muhurtha is taken, the astrologer finds Jupiter already in Revati (sign of Pisces) then that is the time of death. Jupiter already in Revati is found in the charts of meritorious souls, or jivanmukta’s.
o See Example 8
(iii) If Jupiter is not in Revati, place Saturn in the star Bharani in 13:20 degrees Mesha (Aries).
Saturn is rotated clockwise to this position in the Muhurtha chart if his position is greater than 13:40 Leo (end of Magha). If Saturn is located less than this rotate Saturn anticlockwise to the nakshatra Bharani. i.e., if Saturn is behind Simha in houses 9 to 12 - rotate anticlockwise. If Saturn is in front in houses 1 to 8 and greater than 13:40 Magha in Simha , rotate clockwise.
o This is the 2nd Muhurtha time.
o If after the 2nd Muhurtha is taken, the astrologer finds Jupiter has moved to Revati - the star in the sign of Pisces, then that is the time of death. Jupiter in Revati in 2nd
Muhurtha is found in the charts of meritorious souls.
o See Example’s : 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9.
o If Jupiter is not in Revati; after the 2nd Muhurtha, move Jupiter clockwise or
anticlockwise - depending on the stage of life taken from the chart above - to the first trine position to the Divine Mother in Revati.
⇒ Jupiter is moved clockwise if age is in 1st or 2nd stage to the first trine position ( 5, 9 ) - 16:40 Sign to Revati in Pisces.
⇒ Jupiter is moved retrograde (in exultation) anti-clockwise if age in 3rd stage of life -over 66.7 years- to the first trine position 16:40 Sign to Revati in Pisces.
o This is the 3rd Muhurtha time and the time of death. See Examples 1, 2, 3, 4, 10.
o Note: In the data box for each example, the Statistical Age details is found in the Statistical Section of this manual.
o The Varahamihira Ages are from his method.
Bharani is said to be the Nakshatra where Yama guides the soul to the astral plane , where it can experience the result of its karma and vasanas from the samskaras and prepare for the next life. This is Yama’s first visit. This is the time when one asks Yama to extend life further or complete it soon. Bharani starts in 13:20 Aries. This is the 1st Muhurta or time.
Magha is ruled by the ancestors. Magha Nakshatra causes a change of state or condition, a kind of death. Usually it shows that we are coming to the end of a cycle. This nakshatra is a marker on the movement of Saturn either to extend or to retract, the years of one’s life cycle. Magha ends in the sign of 13:40 Leo.
Revati is the great womb of the Divine Mother, revealing the end as well as new beginnings. This is the 2nd Muhurtha given in life charts.The primary motivation of this asterism is moksha. It is also associated with deep faith and devotion to Brahman. Meritorious souls end their life cycle in this star. Pushan the protector of kine is invoked in the Vedas for safe travel and protects the soul in its travel to the world of the Deva’s. Pushan the deity of Revati guides the soul to the third world. Revati starts in 16:40 Pisces.
Finally the 3rd Muhurtha date of punya chakra or passing away time is Guru or Jupiter in trine to the Divine Mother in Revati. After the body is destroyed by the loss of Prana- the vital force, the soul with its attributes (Avaranas) is to transmigrate away from the dissoluted material body, pass in auspicious proximity to the Tara Revati- the womb of the Divine Mother of the Universe and journey either in the northerly (uttarayana) or southerly (dakshinayana) direction, in its astral body of light, to the region of its merit. Some will pass through Surya to Satyaloka others to the 3rd plane of Chandraloka . Lord Krishna explains this process in the Bhagavad Gita (chapt 8, verse 22-26) and Muni Vayasa in the Brahma Sutras.

• The 22nd Drekkana Mercury is in conjunction with Jupiter in the punya chakra chart (time of passing away chart). The major Dasa is Mercury and the minor Dasa is Saturn. Saturn in the 6th in Rasi indicates death from ailments in the 8th - Mars and Rahu.
• In the D-3 Drekkana chart Saturn is in maraka 2nd from drekkana-lagna. In Rasi it is Ketu who is in the 2nd maraka house. He is also in the 2nd in the Drekkana divisional chart.
• He passed away in the sub-period of Saturn in the major period of Ketu.
• There is no vedha or argala to Jupiter in Revati.The Astakavarga is 24, Jupiter 5.
• He was a great scholar in philosophy, astrology, and languages, a Jivanmukta. His sadhana’s stood him well into long-life.
• Jaimini long-life is indicated with the 1st house lord Ju in Cancer and the 8th house lord Su (counting is anticlockwise) in Makara : (1,1) , and the rest of the sign’s are (1,1) and (1,2).

(upper right chart)
• 2nd Muhurtha, 4-30-1999, Saturn in 13:20 Bharani in Aries; Jupiter in the star Revati (Pisces) at the same time, is the chart of a
meritorious soul, found in the punya charka charts of Saints. Age 72.
• The worlds beloved Gurudeva had colon cancer resulting in Prayopavesha MahaSamadhi. Rahu in the 7th in rasi aspecting Lagna indicated some type of cancer. Any relation between lords of the 6th and 8th houses make for a high intensity of the ailment. In above rasi chart (upper left), lord of 6th house = Venus, and lord of 8th house= Moon. Note Moon/Venus conjunction in the 2nd maraka house in Capricorn aspected by malefic Saturn in Scorpio. In any chart the 6th is the house of disease, and the 8th that of the nature of the disease. The Moon is responsible for, among others, tumors and the digestive system. In the SAV charts of rasi the Moon and Venus scored 3 and 4 bindu and Saturn only 3 bindus. This relative weakness (out of 8) of these planets means the disease progressed slowly. Benefic Mars aspect on the 6th and 8th houses also helped to defer their evil effects.
• His great works, like Lemurian Scrolls , inspired us to see the Universe differently. Through his meditations and subsequent writings we became enlightened to the working’s of the divine world all around us. He revealed the great library of lord Skanda in the 3rd world and read from it the early history of life on earth. Cosmologists should take note of his revelation’s and find the meaning behind the apparently real but unreal universe, that is always in flux, but blessed nevertheless with the great abiding bliss of the immortals, like Gurudeva.
• Jaimini Medium-life is indicated ; 1st in Dhanus, Guru in Khumba; 8th in Karka, Chandra in Makara (2,1). Hora Lagna in Scorpio and lord of Scorpio in Aries. The rest are (2,1), (2,1). He lived beyond Parasara’s maximum, medium-life expectant age of 72.

¾ Example Case 8- Sri Swami Sivananda
• 1st Muhurta, 7-27-1963. Venus and Mercury in conjunction in Janma Lagna aspected by Jupiter and Saturn. Jupiter is already in Revati during this time. This 1st Muhurtha chart is the final date of death. Jupiter in Revati is the final determination of death found in the charts of meritorious souls.
• He was an Avatar who returned to the world of the Deva’s. Malefic Mercury in conjunction with the 2nd house maraka lord Sun is combust and malefic Venus, the 22nd Drekkana lord, is in punya chakra lagna (passing away house), who’s Dasa, was in the major period of Venus.
• He lived in a rugged climate near the Himalayas and died early through his hard work, a Great Soul, a Saint, in his own time. The Divine Life Society and his more than 200 books are his legacy and bring joy to the earth. Like Sri Ramakrishna he made everything seem so simple, yet so profound were his words. Like the Agni-Soma universe, in which Shakti is the words and Purusha is their meanings, he was the Purushottama.
• Jaimini Long-life; 1st in Karka, Chandra in Mesha; 8th in Dhanush (anticlockwise), Guru in Tula (1,1).The rest of the sutras are (1,1) , (1,2). Parasara’s long-life starts from age 72 and ends at age 108, the Astottari Dasa maximum age.

The Vedas -
Talk of equal divisions of three partitions, as in the following chart:
Short
Movable signs, fixed signs and common signs groups determine life-span as follows: (in the rasi chart) y Sutra 2.1.2 : when the 1st and the 8th lords are in movable or cardinal (Chara) signs there is long
life. When one is in a fixed sign and the other is in a common (dvisvabhava) sign, then there is long life.
y Sutra 2.1.3: when the 1st and the 8th lords are both in common signs, and when one is in a cardinal sign and the other in a fixed sign, there is medium longevity.
y Sutra 2.1.4:if the lords of the 1st and the 8th houses are both in fixed signs and when one is in a cardinal sign and the other is in a common sign, there is short life.
y Sutra 2.1.1 : longevity is to be determined from the lord of lagna and from the lord of the 8th house from lagna.
y Sutra 2.1.5 : the rules given to Sutras 1 to 4 are to be applied also to janma lagna (As) and Chandra lagna (Mo).
y Sutra 2.1.6: longevity should also be ascertained from janma lagna and Hora Lagna.
