I´m 56 years old and have so far never suffered from severe disease. Judging by the life line in my palm and other predictions I´ve had done, I´m going to be long lived.
It´s a mystery to me, and I wonder if someone my help me to find an explanation. Out of curiosity, mostly.
My Saturn 1,15 degrees from deep DB, conjunct Rahu, so it´s kopi. It has three bad avasthas on it, 60, 50 and 31,5 varupas, and is helped only by 62,7 varupas in total, so in total minus almost 80 varupas. 43 % digbala.
Venus is in GF dignity but has low digbala, only 13 %. Jupiter is in GE and ashamed. The lagna lord Mercury is low in DigBala, only 3 %.
Still the ShadBala is decent, with only Saturn and Jupiter being below 100 %, and just barely.
The only thing going for me that I can see is that Saturn and Jupiter are exalted in D30, although Saturn is kopi in the D-30 as well. Sun is in GE dignity in the D30 and Venus neutral.
I guess that Saturn being conjunct the Moon in the svamsa gives me some sturdiness, and also my Sani chakra being in the heart (taking joy in hardships) makes me taking joy in hardships.
But still - I wouldn´t have predicted good health for a person with such a chart.
For anyone who wants to accept the challenge and find and explanation, these are my birth dates: December 13, 1968, 15.43.58, Växjö, Sweden.
From a CoT point of view it looks much better. My Moon card is the great "bouncing back-card" Ace of Spades, with no afflictions to it, and my Jupiter card - "averted" - is 5S.
My AK the Moon is waning, but pretty good. It´s in GF dignity with 92 % DigBala and 141 % ShadBala overall.

Ernst has a longevity course and to judge longevity there are many things to consider. Ernst also discussed a little bit of longevity in the Varshaphala course (Farah Fawcett's chart) as i recall...
tuyet
@tuyetv Yeah, I haven´t taken that course yet, you are right, I should have done that first. Thank you! Neither have I taken the Varsaphala course completely, I´ll check it out!

i took it and remembered it was a lot of work in the sense of judging all the factors and see which one is the strongest. He has yogas for short medium and long lives and there is a method to judge all of that. In Kala there is an option for longevity. I honestly think this one is god's secret...I remembered in Farah's charts Ernst looked at two years (Varshaphala). They don't look great but one year there was a benefic influence so she made it through. But the next year she had no benefic influence...
A friend of mine went to see an astrologer and he predicted her mom was going to die in a year. Needless to say she came back all crying, sad and worried. That was 10 year ago and she is still around. This is a very sensitive area to predict unless one has a lot of longevity experience.
A friend of my dad, his son can look at your face, your ears, your eyes etc.. and see things about you. He told my dad the longevity of the famous Bruce Lee when Bruce was at the height of his career. He said this guy's eyes are not good for longevity. And sure enough Bruce Lee died quite young...

@tuyetv Yep, also one of the reasons I haven´t taken that course yet. Also my parents are still alive and really old; do I want to know when it´s time to start fighting for my heritage? I don´t think so.
(I don´t want to be unfair towards my elder sister though. She told my parents a long time ago that please, use up all your money before you go so that we don´t have to fight over it! 🙂 )
Staffan
@staffan Yeah kids can be brutal when it comes to inheritance. I would trade the world to have my parents back with me. When they checked out, they did not owe anyone anything; they truly enjoyed their lives, took care of all the obligations such as funeral expenses so that us kids don't have to worry and fight over the cost, and left us with a token of their love. That is a good way to go...

@tuyetv Yeah... I grew up in two quarreling families, especially my mother´s, but they always managed to keep things together and peaceful when it came to inheritance. On both sides they had to sell a farm, so it was quite impressive, given the circumstances. I believe there was a sense of respect for the deceased behind, to a large degree.
I admire one of my uncles, dead since 15 years, who brought the whole extended family together on what would have been my grandmothers 100th birthday and, after dinner, took us to the remnants of the house in which she grew up, where he spoke nicely and then officially declared the family dissolved! "There are new grandmas and grandpas, and then there will come yet other ones. Now speak to each other and interchange addresses and phone numbers all that you want, and keep in touch those of you that want to, but the family us such is hereby dissolved!" I found it healthy, and also kind of fun.
I believe we have a cool relation towards death in my family. That same uncle died in his bed. He was old and complained about headache, went to bed to rest and was found dead an hour later by his widow. She called her children. The eldest son Jonas showed up first. His father was lying on a double bed, so he decided to take a nap at his side. After an hour or so his younger brother Magnus, who´s a MD, showed up. He go into the room and found his dead father with his sleeping son at his said. He said afterwards: "At a glance I couldn´t see which of them had passed away!"
I like that. A few weeks later my parents came to visit me in Sweden, just in time for the Day of the Deads. They put a photo of the newly deseased on the altar and joined the fiesta. I believe it helped my father a lot in his grief. Viva Mexico! I always sing my grandmothers old evangelic hymns in front of the altar of the Dead on November 2. 🙂
