My philosophy is different then most. I feel when one is
at peace with their soul, they see death as Jesus did, just
another phase of the cycle of birth and rebirth. To be reborn, one has to die first. In our dream world, many of us forget which world we are actually in.
(likely a strong Piscean or Neptune influence in the natal chart) such as I have.
People who are well versed in various religions, think he spoke of being reborn in the figurative sense, but I don't think that way. Much of what he said was purposefully left out of the New Testament in favor of having a church proxy Emperor/Pope, be the new "authority" rather then one's own mind. Literally, this occurred at the Council of Nicea in Constantinople when the Christian church of the Romans first formed.
But then again, just IMO><
I suppose I'll always be comfortable enough with the idea of death, that I'll always include it in my astrology just as I would life as we know it to be.
It's the "unknowing" that people fear the most in my opinion.
(Realizing of course,everyone has their OWN opinion which another may not see as valid)

Religious belief increases our fear (but it’s complicated). Here’s another counterintuitive one. You may think that religious belief, which usually includes
confidence in an afterlife or a greater meaning to life, would make people feel better about the finality of death. But studies have found that those with
stronger religiosity, regardless of culture or religion, have a stronger fear of death. But it’s worth noting that there are also studies that show the opposite.
Some studies have found that, at least among Westerners, those who fear death most are
moderately religious. Both non-believers and very religious people
feared death less.
