I don't know enough about astrology to say why I feel the way I do....I know that I am much more OK with death than a lot of people. I think about it alot actually...but I'm bad in that I've tempted fate many times! Fully knowing what could happen.I might also be influenced because we celebrated el dios de los muertos growing up which helps to think of death as even a fun thing and not so permanent, or you know you go somewhere else where loved ones are to feast and drink and dance, so while it's an end it's also a beginning...

I agree, Fajita! Death is nothing more than a split second of transition from one state of alive-ness to another. This is actually a sleeping state, and we're kind of like dreaming here. The REAL deal is what we experience once we "wake up", (otherwise known as "die")I don't fear death in the least. I do, however fear pain, which often preceeds death. Nope, not into pain so much.

I have thought about death lots of time.However I have not thought of commiting suicide-no neede for me to kill myself and also if I wanted to, i would never bring myself to it-too s*** scare to to it. I can honestly say i am not afraid of dying-when your time comes,it comes.IP: Logged |

I think I am afraid of being sick but not of dying, Neptune opposite the Sun can mean the individual is fighting the collective. Woody Allen had this aspect and he was always afraid of death, and aging. So did Johnny Cash, and me.Virgos are kind of gloomy sometimes, in regards to getting older, and Capricorns. But I think Capricorns are the gloomiest. Saturn in the 10th, or a strong 10th house can make a person gloomy. The Gemini I know is very afraid of dying, and he has Saturn, and Vesta conjunct his ascendant in Pisces, plus he is child like so maybe he is afraid of getting older and having reponsibilities like his father too. His father died when he was young. Mercury makes a person feel restless, inside the body, there is a desire to escape. I often feel I would like to fly away from all this. Scorpios are very metaphysical and deep about death, it seems they are unafraid of everything. Natasha Taurus Cancer Moon/8th IP: Logged |

I don't fear death at all either; I've had too many supernatural experiences (FROM the Other Side, and AT the Other Side) to fear it. But like lioneye, I do fear pain somewhat. I also agree with lioneye about THIS state being the sleeping one (thus, the struggles and misunderstandings), while the OTHER state is where it's "really at".Not suicidal, yet I sometimes anticipate (?!) passing to that Other Side because some of my favorite people are there. Sylvia Browne's books have been enormously enlightening. 8th house Moon and Saturn (Scorpio) Pluto square Saturn Pisces Rising Neptune chart ruler, conjunct Moon

I used to think a lot about dying and death when a couple of my friends died suddenly at the age of 18 and 19. I don't think I am afraid to die ,I am hesitant to go through deaths of friends. I believe that if you accept the fact that Death is your ultimate traveling companion( it is always around you and with you) you don't have to be afraid anymore. Sun Sag, Moon Libra, Asc.

I don't fear death at all, but I don't handle pain very well, so I'm hoping when it's my time it will happen in my sleep. When my mother passed away from cancer in 1986, I didn't know nearly as much as I know now. Actually, her dying was the beginning of my spiritual journey to find out where she went after she crossed over. I have a lot more peace of mind, particularly after reading Sylvia Browne, John Edwards, Van Praagh and others' books, it's so much more comforting what they have written. My mother was a Pisces and she had a knowing about things and was psychic to a degree, which is where I get my empathic ability from, we're a lot a like emotionally even though I'm a Sag, I'm almost more like a water sign, I relate to everything in terms of feelings I'm so emotional.

Fajita - Are you in Santaria? My thoughts on death - It's the real thing. We are God's "proof of life". Very little has to do with US. When I forget that, I blast God for playing this dirty joke, for trapping me in this body.
I've often wished this life would reconcile some sort of ending God can live with, and do it FAST. (My lesson this lifetime is p.a.t.i.e.n.c.e.) Like a kid Christmas morning. We can't see radio waves, yet we can hear and speak to people, transfer information like millions of miles away? Flesh & bones is made of cells and atoms, & alive with noncontainable electricity. Maybe God's big surprise is that one day we WILL be able to be physical yet one. Perhaps that is what is meant by the second coming of Christ... a Christ consciousness, spirits in physical form. How frustrating to pass over and try to communicate with someone alive, and they ignore you. To commit suicide would be like having to do the 9th grade over again... I have Moon in Cancer, Mars/Merc/Neptune in Scorpio. Besides water, a GREAT conductor of electricity, there's some electricity itself, maybe from South Node or MC in Aquarius. It's that strong. Also think if you are an old soul, you tend to process those messages a lot quicker. .gloria ------------------ it's better to light a candle than curse the darkness... IP: Logged |

I don't fear death in the least. I do, however fear pain, which often preceeds death. Nope, not into pain so much.Yeah, that's pretty much the way I am, too. (It's good to be in a place where people aren't dumbfounded when you say that...) Although I'm not sure that the pain factors in all that much - when you're really close to death, anyway; and pain's something that one can remove oneself from and analyze rather than live within with a little practice and concentration...er, lack of concentration...er, something.

there are times i have very short morbid fantasies about it. i love watching autopsies and looking at rotten.com type stuff sometimes. i think this is just one of those varying sag interests.. although i did really consider going into forensics as a career.. i can only guess it was influenced by my scorpio asc.there were times when i was completely lost and considered suicide often. eventhough i knew i had to re-live the bad karma+, i didnt care at those times. teenage angst i suppose. i didnt have the means and my optimism returned too fast anyway. there was a time after the wtc attacks i became so preoccupied with death that i actually had anxiety attacks. (the destructive thought loops of cancer mars) then there were those times when i had been on psychedelics and other drugs for too long and believed i was walking around dead. no, not afraid of death. some pain feels good to me. im just afraid of dying very very slowly..like your bones are all shattered and youre trapped under/in something.. waiting and wondering if someone will find you. haha maybe thats just the aries impatience. yeah definitely being comfortable with the supernatural alleviates the fear of actual death. also i think funerals should be more of a celebration of someones passing and not so sad. im not sure about what other astrological influences play a part..natasha did mention saturn in the 10th.. ------------------ Life, like a dome of many-colored glass, Stains the white radiance of eternity. -Percy Bysshe Shelley IP: Logged |

Well, I've always been really terrified of death. But when I was about 11-12, the fear was so deep that I had to go to a psychologist. I can't explain it, but everytime I think about it, I just get this huge pit in my stomach, and my brain starts conjuring horrific what-ifs. It's not as bad as it used to be, but I just don't like to think about death.I'm a Pisces, BTW. ------------------ "Out of your depth or not, it's up to you whether you sink or swim." IP: Logged |

It's funny, I believe in reincarnation, and that somewhere all spiritual energy comes together to become all-knowing light (who knows, maybe our sun is "heaven" i.e. a collection of souls energy, keeping earth alive).Still, I'm terrified of death. If I start to think about it, I could bawl, and I'm not a very emotional person! I don't know why this is, sometimes I think I must not believe my theories at heart. Nackie IP: Logged |

I read someplace that Aquarius Asc contemplates death as a POSSIBLE ultimate solution to life...it's true I get this almost regular moods when life seems a total waste of time and energy, and then there's always this thought "well, IF everything else fails, there's always the "off" button"... but it's just a thought, mind you, like a game IP: Logged |

i think about death alot, im not sure why.its part of the contant questioning searching for answers thing that kicked in at about 15yrs old.i believe in reincarnation, not as animalsor plants but as people, until we have fully understood the lessons of each sign and also repayed any karmic debts, i believe only then we can progress to some sort of higher level of emptiness, where you feel completely full being nothing like a continous feeling of elation.i also think of dying its not always my own death but other people as well i find it happens when i day dream sometimes and i find myself getting teary eyed and have to snap myself out of it. mostly i think of funerals which is weird because i dont like going to them at all. when i do go i realise that its not the persons death that i get upset about but the grief in that persons family and friends. it annoys me when people glorify the dead, i dont like it when people make shines for the dead in a place of the living eg.lounge rooms. i wish to respect the persons memory and remember the life. however i often feel like crying when i watch the news.and i still find it hard to believe how wrecked i was when the bali bombings happened. in saying all this one of my biggest fears is of no one telling me that someone has passed away.------------------ when i first looked upon yourface,our thought gave answer each to each,so true- Opposed mirrors each reflecting each- That tho' i knew not in what time or place, methought that i had often met with you, And either lived either's heart and speech.

Death isn't nearly as scary to me as it used to be, but like the statement sort of says up above, that doesn't mean that I want to do it at any pace except within my very own time frame though either, lol. If you want to know what happens at death in terms of the chakras and energy field, read these books by Barbara Brennan sometime...
"Hands of Light" "Light Emerging" They are just excellent books and they explain about the process of dying in great detail, especially the first one, "Hands of Light."
And yes, as I think Lioneye said up above, Barbara explains how "when we incarnate, we have already died, and in death we actually find more life...and
At death, you will feel yourself to be a golden ray of light, but you will still feel like yourself." Barbara is a spectacular energy healer and clairvoyant/channeler.
She worked as a scientist for NASA.
She entered psychology afterwards, which was her introduction into the healing arts. Finally, she became more and more entrenched into her interaction with the higher spiritual realms through opening up her field and chakras to receiving information from the higher astral levels etc..., realms which she had more easy contact with as a child, but of course, realms which she unintentionally shut off that contact with as she grew into an adult, until she worked and practiced at opening those pathways up again. She is the founder and director of a place called "The Barbara Brennan School Of Healing."
People come to this school from all around the world. They train in the healing techniques that Barbara and her trained faculty of other teachers have been using to treat their patients. Graduates from this school practice their healing techniques all over the world as well. The school is located in Florida. If you ever have a chance to attend one of her workshops along the way, DO IT.
They are held all over the world at one time or another.

I'm okay with death. I used to be scared of it when I was younger, but being with two people close to me when they passed was such a strangely spiritual experience that it was actually calming in a way. Hard to describe. Being on deathwatch elicits the same sort of feeling that attending a birth does. for me anywayIP: Logged |

Yeah, you know...maybe we need to sleep when we're in the other dimension, and we experience it as this life, which we think is real, just like we need to sleep in this life, and we think our dreams are real while we're having them. Why do we need to sleep anyway? Anybody know? Could the reasons be the same for both existances?People who come back repeatedly must have Narcalepsy in the other dimension...LOL... IP: Logged |

gloomy sag, i know this other aries with sag moon who enjoys it as much as i do. i dont know his asc though. perhaps its because of the sag moon instead of sag sun. i dont particularly think its a sag thing, just that sags like to be interested in a diversity of things.. so there is a tendency to be interested in many things including that sort of thing. you know? ------------------ Life, like a dome of many-colored glass, Stains the white radiance of eternity. -Percy Bysshe Shelley IP: Logged | |
