Death and the horoscope

Is it ethical to predict death? The discussion over here is interesting. Having been through this before, I threw out some comments. (My position on this being: if someone's ill and they ask, they probably really want to know, but predicting death for someone young and healthy just seems wonky.)

The followup over here is also interesting.

"Of course you have to be careful, and with a lot of people you wouldn’t dream of it. No transits on their own suggest death. No transits on their own suggest anything concrete. As with all prediction, there has to be a reason to suppose that death might occur, like age or ill-health. Or you might advise someone to be careful on the road under a Mars-Uranus transit if you knew they were a careless driver.
A few years ago I did a reading for a woman in her 80s who’d nearly died the year before and was clearly not well. It was also clear from her chart and from talking to her that she had an unlived sensitive/psychic side that it was now time to explore, and it was a bit like she hadn’t died because there was still this thing left to do. I was able to point to another time, a couple of years down the line, when it was possible she could die, and she was very happy with that, because she had come to terms with dying, and it showed her how long she might have to get on with what she had to do.
Another time a friend was caring for a fairly young person who had terminal cancer. The specialists told her she had another year to live. I looked at the chart and said I reckon she has only a few months. I was right, and it confirmed the intuition that the patient herself had.
I have a prediction going currently with a friend’s elderly mother, who she is caring for. She says it helps her feel that caring for her mother, who doesn’t really want to be around any more, is not a life sentence!
Another friend I deliberately held off with recently. A close relative of her’s had a recurrence of cancer. The astrological prognosis (Pluto about to oppose natal Sun), given the circumstances, was not good. I didn’t discount the possibility of death (which eventually occurred), but it didn’t feel at all appropriate to discuss it."
