Hi!
I find it very striking that this year, two cats who were close to me in some way passed away—one just before the lunar eclipse in March 2025, and now another just before the second lunar eclipse on September 7th.
In the first case, the grief was intense because it was a cat that partly lived with us. My son was deeply affected. Shortly before her death, she stayed with us for an unusually long time.
This time, it was the very ill cat of a close friend who passed away—she had cared for him until the end and had a special bond with him. In this case, I helped her bury the animal in a truly beautiful place in untouched nature, under a tree. It was a beautiful experience—because I was very pragmatic, moved, and the place really had something magical about it. We turned the event into a meaningful ritual.
To me, the timing of the deaths of these two cats is no coincidence. I wonder if my 8th house in Virgo and the triggering of this house by Rahu and Ketu might have something to do with it—and of course, what the cat symbolizes. Cats are close companions to humans and can be very sensitive to human emotions.
Yesterday, I felt like a kind of ceremonial master and was surprised myself at how pragmatic, calm, and focused I can be in such threshold situations.
P.S. This year I encountered an unusual amount of dead animals- a fox, a squirrel, a little bird, the two cats
