Let’s take a look at a few events in his life.
Roy was born in his Ketu Dasha. This is known to be one of the harder dashas. He was born towards the very end of World War II in Germany on a night when bombs were exploding all around his mother in their small town of Nordenham.
One of the biggest events that changed Roy’s life was October 3, 2003 when he was attacked by Montecore a seven-year-old white tiger. At this time Mars was transiting his eighth house. This is a time when risk-taking is not advised and he could appear weak to others inviting aggression. This is a time when health issues can surface. Articles discuss the fact he had a stroke at some point before or during the attack. He was in the dasha of Rahu-Moon which is a period when you can become more paranoid. Transiting Rahu was in the same house as his natal Moon which can indicate a time to pay attention to your personal safety and well-being. This can be a time of scandal. Transiting Saturn was within a degree of his natal Saturn in his twelfth house indicating the potential for time spent in confinement in hospitals. Transiting Moon likely triggered the attack as it was in his sixth house of accidents.
Roy passed away from complications from COVID-19 on May 8, 2020. At this time, he was in Jupiter-Rahu dasha. Jupiter is located in a maraka house or killer house. As mentioned earlier Rahu in his first can indicated a disease that confuses doctors. As of this writing there are still so many questions related to COVID-19. Transiting Saturn was in his seventh house, another maraka house, sending its energy to his first house. Saturn can represent death. Transiting Saturn had just passed over his natal Ketu which represents loss. Transiting Ketu, indicator of viruses, was in his sixth house of health which could show the loss of fighting the battle against the disease when his health was already compromised. Transiting Rahu was in his twelfth house and can represent death and endings as well. Mars was transiting his eighth house with Neptune transiting there as well. Mars can be a trigger and Neptune is ruler of epidemics/ pandemics.
Roy had a great love of animals and was an innovator of his time. He was successful in business and was well known around the world. We can see from his chart that it was all there.
