Looking at Suicide Through Astrology

[@stephaniebrown3774]

Shortly after my sister took her life in 1990, she appeared to me in a dream, calling me from a pay phone in a train station. I could hear the whistles & movement in the background. She kept repeating she didn't know which train she was "supposed to" get on, which led me to believe she had a choice; it was not being made for her. I often ponder what her options were & which path she chose. Neat side-note: I could smell her scent when I woke up. Thanks for all your teachings. You handled this particularly sensitive subject with the perfect balance, as always!

[@melissareece8656]

You have no idea how oddly planned the timing of this popping up in my notifications was. WOW.....Thank you for addressing this topic. Suicide is not always something that is done out of hopelessness and despair. Sometimes it can be a death on ones own terms, performed peacefully and compassionately rather than waste away from a painful debilitating disease. I am a huge advocate for Death with Dignity Laws and although we do have have laws on the books in some parts of the United States, I personally feel they are still very restrictive and hard for the individual to navigate. I wish our American society would embrace a more "Belgium" way of thinking surrounding this.

[@WELCOME2TROTSKY]

Same here!

Wow you too??? I just got off a call discussing and then looked at my feed

I support euthanasia.

[@margotmia2174]

I’m very curious about The Chart of a suicidal person. Acutya ~ in one’s own chart, are suicidal tendencies apparent? Oh wow. As I typed that question, I had a powerful Deja Vu.

[@pamelamower-conner5436]

Your videos are very elevated above most astrologers, the calmness when addressing difficult subjects, the honesty, the love and good intention. The best guidance I have heard on an intense subject. I have reflected in the past, would it even work, wouldn't one's soul still exist and possibly regret the choice. I personally wouldn't risk it.

[@nimiravirani7613]

My father and 2 brothers taken ther own life. I hope this will help me but I can understand they sufferd much on earth. Hope they found peace🙏❤️

[@EricStarwalker]

I had a dear friend and client took a leap off the golden gate bridge. Her progressed Lilith was conjunct her Pisces ascendant. It was a purposeful and well thought out act of grace and power. When i tuned into her on the Otherside she was finally getting the help she needed. It changed my whole view of what we call suicide.

[@4KConelove]

estarwalker55 do you belong to the Bridge Rail Foundation ? I wonder whether we know one another.

[@cypress4151]

I had an experience losing my former partner this exact same way. He had pluto conjunct the nn.

[@iamfranny]

I’m realizing now why I have so often bristled at the word soul: it is often employed to cordon off and individuate-to highlight singularity rather than describe an eternal wheel of fortune that turns and turns. What’s more, that sectioning off, when used in a way that overidentifies us with material trappings, ignores how reliant we are on our connections with every other living thing. This is just to say I so appreciate your scope and tremendously respectful approach to what you know and don’t know. Thank you!

[@katielynneyoung4738]

Thank you for addressing a topic that is so often taboo, and surrounded by guilt and shame. We need to speak so much more openly about the darkness that occurs in life, and not just the light and goodness.

[@Polaris333]

As you said not all suicides are because the person wants to escape. To be able to take ones own life would mean that the pain of living is unbearable. I can understand that. But when there are multiple suicides in one family, that implies a larger more deeply ingrained pattern that I haven’t been able to explain. I wish I knew what is my lesson in seeing multiple family members take their own life.

[@alisonbarker7154]

My grandfather committed suicide when I was young and I’ve been struggling to understand this. Your exploration of suicide in this video was so helpful and the reference to James Hillman’s book well explained. Thank you 🙏

[@gary5477]

Rob Hand said that any connection between 1 and 8 usually means that the person contributes to their own death, whether it's suicide or someone speeding recklessly on a motorcycle etc. Having said that, I read in a book written by a psychiatrist that over 90% of people who die by suicide suffer from a mental illness and bipolar disorder is the worst. Psychic mediums have said that there is no special 'punishment' for suicides as many believe. They have the same loving, beautiful experience as others, except that any problems not dealt with will be re-addressed in another lifetime. (Also thanks for not saying 'commit' suicide. Mental illness is not a crime nor a sin!)

[@MeganAlisaMedium]

That was fantastic! I truly love how you explain things and come from a spiritual/neutral perspective. From what I have learned, everything you said resonated with me.

[@meganclose-dees3489]

This was a deeply illuminating teaching , and brings clarity and comfort to the true nature of suffering- the MEANING of it- that is the reason why so many of us come to the study of astrology in the first place. I've been a student a long time (5 decades!) , and I find myself still VERY MUCH just that. Your work is an inspiration and a huge blessing ! Thank you so much-

[@tinamarie5355]

Watched cancer episode on Astrology podcast. Thank you for posting this video. No one WANTS to talk about this. I appreciate your thoughts and book recommendation.

[@RoxxiRed]

In reference to the section on keeping your hands open when things are being taken from you.. one of the lowest moments in my life was when I found myself sitting in jail, in solitary confinement because I wasn’t allowed to be in general population , with no bond and no idea how long I’d be there, but I knew I wouldn’t be leaving anytime soon. And in that tiny little room with no bed and no window and no friends I both kicked opiates and found my peace at the same time. By doing just what you mentioned. There was nothing i could do and it didn’t really matter how I felt about it or whether or not I thought it was fair. And the moment i let go i found myself happier and more whole than I had been in the 3 years leading up to it. I was approaching my Saturn return but had no clue what a Saturn return was. It happened 8 months later, right when I was finally free to go home. I’ve never been more grateful for a terrible thing in my entire life.

[@1ACL]

Your videos are very thought provoking and I appreciate that. I don't always agree 100% with everything, but you are a great teacher--- definitely a cut above 99.99% of astrologers on KZbin!💕 thank you for making me think.

[@RoxxiRed]

Omg, paralysis by analysis just resonated with me sooo hard lol

[@RoxxiRed]

I feel so much better to know that that’s a thing and not just me 😅

[@IamKimtrece]

I received a 2hr reading from you, around this time last year and I'm in your current class, but I want to revisit my reading because this past May brother died and I remember thinking "Dang, I just had an astrology reading and it didn't mention this". But listening here and how you don't get as specific as death in a chart you probably mentioned something dealing with family. Maybe not as devastating as this but something as it relates. IDK... So thank you for this lesson I am going back over the session I had with you. 🖤

[@Adam-Elenbaas]

Hey K! Email me and I'll take a look real quick

[@IamKimtrece]

@@Adam-Elenbaas yes sir

[@serenadevon]

I didn't think I would be interested in this video but as always you make them interesting. Thank you! I hope your moves are going smoothly.🙏🌌😘

[@gme5400]

Wow. I’m learning so much.your words resonate in my heart. Looking at each other as eternal souls will change yet again how I see others. 💛

[@danajackson336]

This was amazing as a great great great grandmother took her own life my brother struggled with suicidal tendencies along with a niece of mine!! No analysis paralysis here

[@privatepage4670]

thanks so much for covering this topic since my dad took his own life in April I havent seen another astrologer cover this

[@HauntedCerebralAstrology]

Thank you for your open-mindedness, Acyuta-Bhava. Another friend of mine recently took his life, and hearing your thoughts on the topic helps me to find a better perspective. Thank you for your service. x HC

[@margotmia2174]

I truly appreciate your very compassionate, yet objective explanation. There truly is “no one size (truth) fits all”.

[@Goodvibesaround3]

This was great!! Thank you, I thought you touched on it perfectly.

[@MagalíIngrid]

Lila ✨ Wow, a controversial topic addressed beautifully. Thank you so much for introducing us to yogic philosophy and James Hillman. You are a really great teacher. Blessings. 🙏✨♥️ P.D.: Your childhood story reminded me of Kim Ki-duk's film: Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter... and Spring. I'll watch it again.

[@gratitudeindeed8190]

My mon took her life. What i notice in my chart. I was going thur saturn return in Capricorn in my 1st house sag raising. Now in my second return..my dog and my ex die of cancer a month apart. I have jupiter in 12th. Sun in 3rd pisces..pluto in 9th virgo... I alittle.. Still learning...but my saturn and jupiter are triggers. ....good talk💙💙😇😇😇💙💙

[@margorowe9052]

❣such a sensitive topic and perfect delivery..very enlightening..

[@RoxxiRed]

About 12 years ago now my cousin took his life. We’re a small family and it sent shockwaves through all of us that never really went away. I’ve been trying to study the charts of my aunt and his brother from that day. My uncles too, but I don’t have a birth time for him and I do for the rest. There’s so many things here that line up... even in my own chart Pluto was on my 3rd house cusp conjunct my 3rd house ruler and I Venus was in the 8th(my cousin was a Taurus rising). In his chart his 8th house ruler was transiting his 8th house and forming a quincunx to his ascendant, Pluto was in his 8th as well, and the moon and Saturn were in his 4th squaring the ascendant.

[@momandnas3788]

Okay I’m 4:40 into the video . The first thing I’m noticing is that the natural karaka for siblings mars is in Gemini and the lord Mercury is in the 8th house with the south node . Not sure if that’s something you will touch on but it caught my eye first.

[@momandnas3788]

Omg yes Saturn rx in the 3rd . Should’ve started with 3rd house !

[@Here_Today_]

Big hugs to your client.

[@ailishfarragher5994]

This is so timely - thank you for your insights, especially, really profound 🙏 I'm looking at the chart of a dear friend who took his life last year. Certainly the three outer planet transits added pressure to someone in the throes of a profound depression. Moon and Mars transiting 6th and activating natal 8th House Mars in Cancer (co-present with Saturn) in a night chart and Uranus just started transiting his 6th House of Bad Fortune, activating a natal Uranus placement in Scorpio in 12th. It was shocking and so sad.

[@rethinkingchange1319]

Timely. Helpful in dealing with painful loss of beloved teacher, though not through suicide. Thank you. Tangentially, biological father committed suicide when I was six; the fact was hidden from me until I was 50. He was a Harvard-trained cardiologist "ahead of his times" -- told graduate students 95% of the disease observed in his practice was psychosomatic in origin. Family told the world he died of sudden heart attack. Suggestive natal marking: Sun in Leo conjunct Pluto in the 7th house. For what it's worth, both Jane Fonda and ex-husband Ted Turner lost parents to suicide; both exhibit natal Sun conjunct Pluto.

[@mikezizis3725]

I can't thank you enough fore this Acyuta. My natal chart reveals Saturn {in Virgo} in the 3rd opposing Mars {in Pisces} in the 9th. Both my father and younger brother died thru addiction. I need to mention that my Aquarian Sun and Venus are in the 8th by birth. Nothing trivial about the 8th house. Astrology truly lifts the veil. May 10,000 flowers bloom!

[@leanneeverett]

Thanks for this video. My father took his life 11 years ago. I could have hours long of conversation about this. I unfortunately don’t know his time of birth but I used the sun rising as I heard it to be more accurate (without birth time) I checked the transits on the morning of that day, and his Neptune is directly on his sun in the first house. Also the Chiron and Jupiter in the first. Black moon/Lilith in the 12th. Sun in the 8th. This kind of gave me some closure in a sense. I see suicide as another way of death, written in the stars just like any other type of death. Karmic yes I would say for sure, because it hurts to live that life but, who are we to say that this isn’t deliberately written for that soul to learn/grow. There is tooo much judgement around this topic and too much heaven/hell programming that is what is unfortunate. I have been told my dad went to hell and it’s horrible and really ignorant especially coming from people who have had no personal experience with it to know what goes on in that individual’s life/mind etc. For 11 years though, I felt that maybe there was foul play, but I’m pretty certain it was just written now. Also, incase this can help anyone reading.. my dad had black crows visiting him near to his death, and I was told after, that him and my “step mom” were driving in the car (where they lived in the middle of no where), and a hearse was driving behind them she said which was extremely odd where they live to just be randomly following their car. I was also told that he said “they’re coming for him” they told me your dad was hileuscinating (as he was given antidepressants not for him hence one of the reasons I felt foul play). There’s far more going on in this universe to just slap a big fat label/stereotype on suicide. I believe when we enter this realm our soul knows exactly what we are signing up for.. some souls want to experience death in our beds naturally with old age, and some souls say heck no, that’s boring sign me up for a crazy car crash, or murder, or suicide. At the end of the day we are eternal beings... so for us analyzing this in the “3rd dimension” perspective, we take it far too serious because we don’t see it from a soul’s perspective who wants to experience and live out the “human experience” like a game, from a much higher dimension looking “down”. I am in no way saying that from a free will perspective is suicide ok FYI. But I know there’s definitely more to it.

[@leanneeverett]

Also sorry, I commented half way through and realized you said a lot of the same things ♥️🙏🏽

[@leanneeverett]

Forgot to mention that my chart also on that morning is completely in alignment with what took place. Aspects with Saturn, Pluto, Neptune, Jupiter.. and mars and more.

[@RoxxiRed]

His brother’s natal Saturn was in the 3rd receiving an opposition from Mars too,,,

[@scottlewis1479]

3rd house profection year at 63 years old. Sagittarius rules the year, with its lord Jupiter in the 12th house. Saturn is also activated for the year since it sits in the 3rd. Jupiter is locked in a fitting t square with Mars opposite Saturn. I am thinking with 3rd n the 12th activated for the year, he may have felt like communications brought on a feeling of loss of energy, so perhaps he didn't reach out as much. The relationship with siblings may have undergone restriction to limitation, which may have cut him off from having support. Saturn in the 3rd activated could of also put a lot of heaviness upon up the desire to communicate, further making it harder. There may have also been complications getting around since the 3rd house is linked to short-distance travel and Saturn restricts. The T-square was probably very triggering too. Jupiter in Virgo may live by perfectionist philosophies or simply may have had more anxiety and stress than normal since this placement rules the year. Being that Jupiter was the trigger planet for the Mars and Saturn opposition, the stress, anxiety, or insecurity from Jupiter in Virgo could have triggered an impulsive decision (Mars) associated with death (Saturn.) The sect of this chart is a daily chart, which also makes Saturn and Jupiter more powerful and pronounced in life. Saturn, also being retrograde, may have made the depression more prominent. With both these planets being powerful by sect, there may have been "enough under the door" during a 3rd house perfection year at 64 to lead to suicide.

[@THEKMLMUSIC]

Life is punishment.

[@2ndLife2025]

The Neptune, Uranus, and Pluto glyphs are all missing from the chart

[@privatepage4670]

I have natal Saturn and Pluto in 3rd much suffering FROM SIBLINGS VERY ABUSIVE TO ME

[@margotmia2174]

I am very interested in the chart of a lifelong suicidal person. I know the reasons that began for them at a young age. But, does someone’s chart depict the child’s experience of inhuman events, hence this intermittent attempt to physically die? They are a good, in fact a beautiful person much loved by family and people in general. Yet, the events of their young life overtakes their ability to feel deserving of love, and capable of a different reality with respect to personal, intimate love. They have brought so much love to us, and to others. But they’ve been separated since 5 years old, from feeling safe. She works very hard at overcoming: she’s very spiritually aware and a teacher, wayshower of the beauty of Light and Love. Was she doomed from the start? By her father? A synastry in their charts? I feel for her ~ do not know if she will one day NOT survive the attempts she’s been rescued from. These attempts happen in 2-3 or10-12 year patterns. Will she be an outcast spiritually if she succeeds?

[@jacquelinescholtus9185]

Thank you for such interesting videos. Would it be possible for you to activate the subtitles because I'm French-speaking and it's hard for me to follow. That would be so nice of you!

[@Deeplyr00ted]

saturn in 3h is really hard and first thing standing out for someone who has depression...I have it . Libra rising is also kind of a difficult rising to have ...due to the whole chart being upside down.

[@1ACL]

All life is sacred. Most religions say 'don't kill'. We are experiencing our karmas. If we consciously decide to end our life, we just create more negative karma, and we certainly do not escape pain. It's better to live out your karma and natural life span, because, hopefully, you are purifying karma while alive. Or at least you are resolving karmas. Buddhists say we shouldn't even euthanize our pets...

[@Adam-Elenbaas]

Right. It's also important to remember that God's grace and mercy are unfathomable to us...so to say that it only makes things worse is too legalistic to my ears. It certainly makes sense to me that it could make things worse...but I am also not the judge and do not claim to know precisely how God's will and mercy directs all things. We are all killers in different ways...and so its important to let God be the judge...lest we be judged by the same flawed measuring stick we use with our fallen minds. But I do hear and appreciate your point.

[@makeupabsolu]

Anyone here who can answer for me please, i think I came across something, I read about the angels that rule over the hours of the day, then i checked what sephira they belong to,then i read the description of that sephira and there was my entire life described.also tried it on friends.it works ! All you need is the hour u are born, then check the rulling angel , sephira and bam ! It will describe why certain events in your life could not have been different.and it underlines the fact that our rulling angels are chaneling the energy of the personal sephira into our life thus creating the pattern of our lives.I def noticed paterns in my life and they were not of my creation.it was like no matter where i go what i change how i change same things apply, for better or worse.

[@bridgetkorns8174]

Wow kudos to you for approaching this topic. Suicide is a major issue and I encountered several people on suicide watch this last week. With all of these changes with Coronavirus/BLM and a presidential race where most people don't like the candidates....and it's terrible how many people are triggered and committing suicide. Life seems so hopeless right now. On the other hand I personally believe Spirit is non-judgmental. There is a set back from committing suicide but not punishment. That's entirely based on the book Journey of Souls by Michael Newton who,based on his case studies, is the best documented proof of reincarnation by a skeptic.

[@ascensio11]

Neptune transiting 8th-H in Pisces....I'm going through it and it is rough.

[@REDSKIs_righteous_readings]

Thank U I've been looking for something like this I've often wondered if in our charts we have a trigger in the chart or a way to see if it can be pre seen faited thank U xx

[@laurafahey542]

My friend lost her dad to drug overdose then her both brothers yrs apart hung them selves n her mom died of liver disease due to drinking she has 1 sister left now that’s sad

[@chorva-]

🤍

[@cherty317]

Are you looking at her birth chart or the current transits (emphasis added) in her birth chart?

[@FeistyChic]

Ive ofter thought/wondered if we ask other souls to act as the "bad guy" in our incarnation if we need it to work through personal Karma....like their doing us a huge favor although we cant see it here.

[@1ACL]

Not sure we "ask", but the law of cause and effect, karma, will create balance. If we can allow, and not react negatively, not perpetuate the karma, the connection and karma with that person will be purified.

[@rosehelia7178]

I watched this.

[@artemisian42]

If you or someone you know is contemplating suicide or simply struggling with the complexities of our times, help is available. International directory of hotlines and social services here (don’t know if KZbin will allow the link - if not its at iasp . info): www.iasp.info/resources/Crisis_Centres/ I think it’s best practice when we mention suicide in public talks to also reference sources of help in case it is a surprising -or not- trigger for our audience, or offers a chance to connect someone with support.

[@laurafahey542]

The you lost my sister jan6 20/20 during that Saturn Pluto I’m a cancer Scorpio moon n it was a eclipse .

[@4KConelove]

Don't know if I can watch now because the thought of it is triggering me. Im not usually this reactive. Maybe the New Moon energy in Leo. Just want to feel good for a change.
