What Age Will I Die Based on My Zodiac Sign?

Ever wondered if astrology can help you figure out when you’ll die? While there’s no way of knowing for certain when you’ll finally kick the bucket, your star sign might just be able to give you some insight as to how long you’re going to last. We spoke with expert astrologers to find out just how much time you have left....

Remember, zodiac signs can’t really tell you what age you’ll die. Take these predictions with a grain of salt, and don’t let them scare you!

Which zodiac sign lives the longest?

Astrologer Kyle Thomas says that there’s no connection between your zodiac sign and your age limit. So, remember this is just for fun. Tauruses might live the longest—their stubborn nature means they have a knack for hanging onto life. Geminis may have the shortest lifespan, as their curiosity can get the best of them.

Question

Why will Gemini die young? My twin sister died at the age of 15. Why?

Community Answer

Don't take this too seriously. You were born on the same day as your twin sister, and you're still alive. There's no scientific evidence that people of any one sun sign die younger than anyone else.

Another way you can find out when you might die is by interpreting your astrological birth chart. Learn how to read the houses of your birth chart, and pay close attention to the 8th House or House of Death.^{[14]
