I don't know much about predictive astrology, but decided to check out his progressed chart and transits to see whether anything stood out, which may have pointed to his death at this time. What I found was interesting. Apparently, his progressed Sun is now exactly conjunct his Pluto, both at 16 deg Leo. Also, transiting Saturn is now opposing his natal Sun by one degree.
Does that sound about right, as possible astrological indicators of his death, at least in this particular case?

Why don't you post his natal and transits?

Thank you so much for checking out his chart, Faith. That is very interesting! I think that there is a mix-up, however. He was a Gemini, not a Cancer. Birthdate of June 4, 1950, born in Alexandria, VA. Do you think that you may have entered "July" instead of "June," when you ran his chart?

Yikes!

Well it wouldn't have been a good day for July 4th people either...now we know.

Hang on...

Tr Saturn exactly square natal Saturn, too.

It's interesting if he had an Aqua moon and Uranus squaring the nodes. Then he died with tr Uranus forming a grand fire trine with his Pluto and tr Venus.

Yes, our own Sun can be intimately tied into our death time. It should be, because the Sun is the epitome, the bottom-line of ourselves for this lifetime. Remember, the two big ‘triggers’ in progressed charts is your Mars and Sun. I see the Sun in usually, older people’s charts, and it truly is their time–they’ve learned all they could for this life (and they usually have) and now, it is a window of opportunity to go and pass over to another exciting adventure in the invisible realms.

Many times, in many deaths, the Sun is not prominent. I see this as an ‘early option’ of leaving because things were either learned more quickly than anticipated by the soul, or the person had made too many wrong choices and was way off track from what they had wanted to learn and there was no way to back track to get on that path again. With the Sun involved, it usually means the person has truly fulfilled all there soul desires this time around and it is a natural time to move on.

A Sun death can be slow or quick. Usually, there is some beautiful gift of awareness, a deeper soul connection made with the self before passing–a gift is given because these people have earned such grace by working hard, being responsible and shouldering the loads they came in to carry and learn from or give back to humanity in the balance of their unique karma.

Wow, that does sound as though he was dealing with a lot of harsh Saturnine energy.

Thank you for the information, Hypatia. That was beautiful and very pertinent to this particular person, IMO. He was a very wise and beautiful soul with no ego whatsoever. Everyone in the office loved him and sought him out for his wise counsel. To me he was an embodiment of a true Bodhisattva. I believe that he was ready to move on from this world, so your post confirms what I had already suspected. That is very comforting to know. Thank you.

Glad to hear it, it looks like transit Saturn was forming a kite with his SUN-NEPTUNE-MOON grand trine so the Sun interpretation you feel is a confirmation makes sense.

Further Transit Saturn is semisextile Uranian Poseidon exact so Poseidon is tapping into that kite at time of death:

POSEIDON

This Uranian planet is very often involved in a death aspect. One wouldn’t think so, but it is, or at least in the charts I’ve seen over the years. When you think about it, having Poseidon around when you die, is the perfect close to one door and the opening of another.

Poseidon was the God of the Ocean. Consider it a higher spiritual octave of Neptune. Consider it the ‘master’ energy expression far beyond Neptune. It symbolizes the ‘initiate.’ This planet is about TRUTH. Truth or lies, depending upon the person, their energy expression and where they are at in their spiritual evolvement.

People who have Poseidon active at the time they die have seen their personal Truth. By dying, they receive incredible illumination during the death transit. Frequently, I see Poseidon active in slow, gradual deaths. And it is only when the end has finally come, that this planet makes its final station, that the person gets some kind of incredible, soul breakthrough. A great, wonderful, Cosmic “aha!” is the blessing of Poseidon. And once they have this aha moment, they pass over quickly.

My father's progressed sun conjunct tr sun when he died, within a few degrees; pr Mars conjunct tr Mars exact. He was older and had completed an interesting, highly spiritual journey.

Very cool.

Checking out my Grandpa's day of death.

He had on day of death progressed Sun in Virgo @21d42 conjuncting his natal Moon and uranian poseidon and transit Moon was conjuncting all that and opposing my own moon. I told him the day before that it was ok that he could go, he was hanging on bc he felt he had to for us, he was 97 years old and in pain and time for him to let go. I miss him the most and grandma, he was the last of my grandparents.
