Fatal Planetary Positions in Vedic Astrology

All the aspects of life can be analyzed through astrology. An astrologer can determine the life structure of a native from birth to death. All the incidents of life can be predicted and determined through astrological studies.

Many people seek astrological help to get rid of the problems of their lives. Some problems, whether physical or mental can harm the native to a great extent for which he may feel the need to consult an astrologer. Why does a person have to go through or suffer from problems in life? Astrologers may be able to determine the reasons for these sufferings.

In Vedic astrology, each planet has a specific location in each sign which is considered fatal for it. This may be called the Fatal point for the planet.

In the table below we are giving you a list of all the planets and the longitudes which are considered fatal for it. These points are stationary, and do not change in any horoscope. If a planet is at its fatal point at the time of birth then the native has to suffer from a lot of problems when the dasha-antardasha (period or sub period) of the said planet occurs. The problems will be related to the house governed by the planet, or the house in which the fatal point is located. Primarily, the fatal point is considered to evaluate the status of the health of an individual.
