Astrological factors for suicide

In suicidal cases, death is invited by the self and therefore a relation of the Ascendant and/or its lord, 8^th house and/or its lord and 3^rd house and/or its lord should exist because the 3^rd house signifies self-effort in any matter. At the time of suicide, the native loses all rational senses and is moved by strong emotion and/or depression. Therefore, in such a natal chart, Mercury, the significator of rationality should be weak or afflicted by malefics and so also the Moon, the significator of emotion together with the 4^th and the 5^th houses and/or their lords. In case of depression, Saturn will play the key role while for unbalanced emotion Rahu will play the same. The exact mode of suicide will be decided by the nature of the signs and planets involved. These principles are reflected in the following cases: -    

Case 1:

	Sat 5
Ven 9 Ketu 7		Birth:- 20/09/1972 12:45 p.m. (Kolkata) Balance Mars Dasa up to 5 years 4 months and 24 days	Moon 23 Rahu 21

Case Study: -

The chart relates to a girl who had a peculiar disease of vomiting frequently and underwent an operation in the Stomach region without any result. Later it was diagnosed to be a neurological problem and was cured with Gomedak and pearl. But she later committed suicide with fire.   

Analysis: -

The girl was born under Saggitarius rising with the Ascendant being occupied by the lord Jupiter itself in the constellation of Ketu posted in the 8^th house and aspected by Rahu posted in the primary maraka i.e. 2^nd house combined with the 8^th lord Moon in Capricorn. The 8^th house is occupied by strong malefic for the Ascendant i.e. Venus combined with Ketu and aspected by 2^nd/3^rd lord Saturn posted in the 6^th house and also by the 8^th lord Moon combined with the strong malefic Rahu and posted in the 2^nd house. The 3^rd house is aspected by malefic Mars and the 3^rd lord Saturn while the 12^th house is occupied by the planet of mystery Neptune and aspected by the 5^th/12^th lord Mars posted in the 9^th house and also by 2^nd/3^rd lord Saturn posted in the 6^th house. These combinations indicate that the girl was suffering from tremendous mental despair and uncertainty signified by the combination of Moon and Rahu due to some romantic affairs signified by Venus combined with Ketu indicating secrecy and posted in the 8^th house in Cancer also signifying death, secrecy, unbalanced emotion etc. The 8^th house being afflicted by 3^rd lord Saturn, the native invited her death on her own that is she committed suicide and this happened in the sub-period of Moon in the major period of Rahu.

Case Study: -

Analysis: -

The girl was born under Aries rising with the Ascendant/8^th lord Mars combined with 5^th lord Sun, 4^th lord Moon signifying mind and domestic happiness, 3^rd/6^th lord Mercury signifying reasoning power and 9^th/12^th lord Jupiter signifying good senses posted in the 8^th house in Scorpio. The strong maraka Venus being the 2^nd/7^th lord is debilated in the 6^th house combined with Rahu in the constellation of the Ascendant/8^th lord Mars and aspected by Saturn. The 2^nd house is aspected by the combination of Sun, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter and Moon as also by Rahu. Thus, the 8^th house which is also the 8^th sign of the Zodiac i.e. Scorpio being strongly afflicted by the Ascendant/8^th lord, 3^rd lord, 4^th lord, 5^th and 9^th lord, the girl committed suicide in the sub-phase of Mars in the major phase of Venus by setting fire on herself. The combination in the 8^th house also indicates her being attacked with Poliomyelitis and her family unhappiness due to her mother.
