I just want to know how you guys feel about one's planetary placements/aspects and how they contribute to their C.O.D.
For example, individuals with their 8th house lord in the 12th seem to have shortened lives (die young). Tons of celebrities that have "gone out with bang" have this one. Someone with Sagittarius as their 8th house cusp my die in far away lands, like Amelia Earhart. Those with Mars or Aries as their 8th house cusp my experience a quick and violent death, like Paul Walker and Kurt Cobain. Pluto in the 8th house is similar - Aaliyah had that one. There can be a similar affect when the lord of the 8th house is in the 1st, or vice versa.
What do you think?
If you're just going to respond with something along the lines of "I'm offended by this", then please just, don't.
I don't find this offensive at all, but it's important to keep in mind that we should never predict death for others, under any circumstance 
This is especially important if you become a professional consulting astrologer.
That being said I have an Aquarius-ruled 8th House cusp, with Uranus in Sagittarius in the 6th, conjunct Saturn by degree. I guess I'll die suddenly and unexpectedly. That's fine. 😀
it's never good to predict stuff like this that is super serious. A song in my head comes to mind, when a child asks her mother, what will i be when i grow up? "Que sera sera, whatever will be, will be, the future is bright you'll see, que sera sera. the future is not ours to see."

Oh wow, I see. Thanks honey.
It's a fascinating topic I admit - with a loaded 8th (Moon, Mars, Saturn and Pluto), I can't help but be fascinated. I myself have my 8th house ruler in my 12th though (and my 12th house ruler in my 8th), and I'd never heard that the former could suggest dying early. I do hope in my case having Saturn in my 8th will prevent this, but there are definitely major ethical implications in trying to predict this kind of thing for others.
One thing I will say with regard to the 8th house - and it is scarily uncanny - is that Robin Williams suicide and manner of death is strongly suggested by his 8th house placements. I remember reading an analysis of it and feeling a little uncomfortable by how detailed it was in accuracy, according to the planets he had in his 8th and the sign on the cusp...
It's a tricky subject...
Planetary placements do not contribute to one's cause of death, but a person's lifestyle, a disease or multiple other factors can contribute to the cause of someone's death, early or late. There are many people who have these placements and live long healthy lives. Things are not so specific and simple. Planets and Signs and Houses mean multiple things. A reflective Astrological review of a person's chart after their death is more complicated than simply a specific cusp ruler sitting in a specific house, and to infer such a thing is quite unethical and erroneous. A big No No. I try to always remember the saying: "It's a wise person who rules the Stars and a fool who is ruled by them".
We are born and we die, it's the stuff in between that counts.
