“My father passed away this evening at 11:30 PM. Unfortunately, I cannot be with him at this stage—as you had predicted. You said it would be a hard and difficult time for him for 6 to 9 months from April 25.”
That was a message I received from one of my clients—a UK citizen who has been consulting me since 2007.
Now, let me be brutally honest. In my 22 years as a professional astrologer, having guided close to 30,000 people worldwide, I can count on my fingers the handful of clients who have ever asked me directly about their own lifespan or their parents’ lifespan.
And for those few, my accuracy has been 99%. This includes my own father’s passing, about which I had openly told a reporter during my interview with The Times of India: Can you see the future?
Why so few? Because death is the one thing most humans don’t want to know beforehand. And this is one major reason why many dismiss astrology altogether. They’d rather call themselves “non-believers.” Why? Because ignorance gives them hope, and hope gives them freedom.
Think about it: the possibility of buying a Ferrari is far more comforting than knowing for certain you will never own one.
The fear of death runs so deep in the human psyche that India has thousands of temples for Lord Narayana (the preserver) and Lord Shiva (the destroyer)—but only two temples for Lord Brahma, the very creator. Creation doesn’t scare us. Preservation gives us comfort. But destruction? That’s where fear lives.
Ironically, many saints and even astrologers preach: “No human being can predict birth or death.”Really? Who the fuck said that? The truth is, Vedic Astrology does have precise techniques to time both birth and death—of humans, and even of animals. I was fortunate that my teacher taught me those methods.
Of course, the modern world conditions mortals to trust “rational” paths. Believe medical science over astrology. Spend lakhs on hospital bills but hesitate to pay an astrologer. And maybe that’s for the best—because not everyone is destined to receive a good prediction, and not everyone is destined to meet a good astrologer.
If you really want to know—the exact lifespan of yours or your loved ones—you can.
