The ight="352" alt="John F. Kennedy Jr. Death by Aviation Accident - Jyotisha radix navamsha">

Degree of the Radix Moon = 05 Kumbha (Aquarius).

In the radix nativity, Guru is afflicted by all three natural malefics:

• mutual aspect with Kuja

• yuti Shani

Shani is also the maraka lord of domain-7

Neechcha Shukra in navamsha

• indicates a great deal of trouble through women; confirmed by the romantic complexity of Shukra + Guru + Shani in radix/5.

JFK Jr.'s tragic death on July 16th, 1999 - a few months before his 39th birthday - drew the attention of the television-viewing world.

• In an unprecedented show of national affection for the celebrity-political Kennedy family, Navy search-and-rescue teams were deployed to search for the drowned plane and its occupants: JFK Jr., his young wife Carolyn Bessette, and his sister-in-law Lauren Bessette.

John F. Kennedy Jr. became a celebrity at onset of his Rahu dasha in 1961 when he turned age One!

• Note the dramatic, magnetically attractive, charismatic, danger-loving Rahu rising in Simha. Rahu also in the navamsha lagna.

The ight="544" alt="deth10_dasha1.GIF">Maraka L-2 and L-7 timelords in JFK Jr.'s accidental death

• bhukti = Budha L-2

• mahadasha = Shani L-7

Gochara:

• gochara Kuja opposed Kuja's enemy planet gochara Shani.

• L-7 Shani and L-8 Guru both gochara in Mesha. Mesha is L-8 navamsha, indicating (although not proving) the simultaneous death of his wife. Because L-7 and L-8 are yuti in radix and both are uchcha in navamsha, the joint-death significators gain strength.

• L-8 shows not timing of death but rather *circumstances* of death. Whilst we rely more on the radix character of Guru to tell us about the circumstances of death (in house-5 we see L-7 wife, Shukra=another female, Guru in Dhanusha shows thigh muscles contracting, L-6 Shani =some illness and perhaps some conflict) it is also worth observing that gochara Guru was in Mesha, the sign of internal combustion engines and machinery, at the time of death.

• Gochara Kuja crossing the active bhukti lord Mercury in Tula-radix. accidental death in a vehicle crash. (Kuja is L-4 for vehicles, and karaka for violent attacks.)

• Gochara Kuja, a natural maraka, moving through Tula L-2 navamsha - another suggestive but per se inconclusive marker for death of his wife. (Also suggesting that a sudden or aggressive action of his wife, perhaps in an argument, may have been the incipient cause of the pilot-error accident.)

• bhukti pati L-2 Mercury, and lagnesha Sun transiting Karka, in vyaya bhava, suggest the extended dream state of a drowning death in the ocean

Cause of death was determined to be "pilot error". JFK Jr. was piloting his own small airplane, handicapped by a damaged ankle. Shani rules house-6 of marital conflict, and house-7 Aquarius, signifying the ankles.

• J.F.K. Jr.'s Chandra in a rashi of Shani (Kumbha) hemmed in between Ketu (above) and Shani (Below).

• Cause of death may be considered Afall, since his airplane plunged into the sea, and presumed cause of death was not drowning but rather violent impact of the crash.

• Rahu in 7th-from-Chandra
