WHY BRITTANY MURPHY DIED

The only way I could have predicted Brittany Murphy's death would be if I knew what was currently happening in her life. At the time I am writing this, the cause is unknown. No astrologer would predict death in someone so young unless there was some knowledge of an existing problem.

From her astrology chart I know she kept secrets. With her Sun and three other planets in Scorpio (a stellium), we automatically know two things about her. One, she was secretive and two, she would have unusual death experience(s) in her lifetime. This is because Scorpio rules death, and Scorpios never let you know what they are up to. Another Scorpio characteristic is anger.

So what was going on at the time of her death? I would say, astrologically, she was involved in something that was not widely known and she was over-doing it. The last observation because the transiting Pluto is opposing her progressed Jupiter (the planet of excess) and her natal Jupiter is square to natal Pluto. So this aspect triggers that aspect. The negative progression that caused death to occur was was progressed Saturn having moved out of sign to Virgo where it squared her natal Mercury in Sagittarius. Saturn rules your health and Mercury rules the brain and breathing so I would speculate her death may be brain related.

This is definitely a situation where it would be helpful to have her time of birth because the houses would be very helpful in determining what actually occurred.

It is also interesting that her natal Mars moved to exactly square by progression her Uranus (the unexpected) and her Moon (her emotions). This is why I mentioned that Scorpio rules anger along with Mars. Emotionally, I feel she was unhappy or stressed.

You may remember that I have written about transiting Saturn (which recently moved into the sign of Libra) would square the transiting Pluto. Anyone with a low degree Cancer planet would create a T-square (two planets oppose and one planet squares both). For Brittany, this was transiting Pluto opposition natal Jupiter and transiting Saturn squaring both. So again, Jupiter is involved.

As shocking as a death is in someone so young, I think the people around Brittany may be able to make some sense of this. These very same aspects could occur in a chart and not cause a death. So I believe there is more to this story.
