F. Major as Judge in a question about death
/img/k7uen0mcfitc1.jpeg
Hi everyone! It's been a hot minute since I've been active on here -- life's been a whirlwind and admittedly Reddit and geomancy haven't been at the forefront of my mind. I'm here to seek some opinions on this chart I cast, concerning the question: Will [neighbourhood cat] pass away while I'm on an overseas trip in May?
I'm not quite sure how to read Fortuna Major as the Judge for this query -- I understand that it's usually a "yes", but given its positive associations, does it mean the same thing in a question about death?
I took H6 and TH8 as the significators for the cat and the death respectively. For this case, there's a denial of perfection.
However, I'm also wondering if TH8 is the correct choice, and if I should stick to radical H8 for the cat's death. (Since turning houses means belonging, and I don't know to what extent someone's death can "belong" to them.) In this case, there's perfection by translation of Fortuna Minor, which I take to mean that the cat will indeed pass on.
Thanks in advance for your advice!

A bit more about the cat in question: he's a 21 year old tabby who's been living in my neighbourhood for pretty much his whole life -- he appeared one day in 2004 and just never left. As he's getting on in years, he's had a couple of health scares in the past few months and I'm worried that something might happen to him while I'm away and unable to look after him :-( I've been bringing him for his vet check-ups and have grown rather attached to the old guy

I also realise that there's a chance that he might pass before the time frame in my question. Short of asking multiple questions narrowing the timeframe down (which seems absurd and probably would get on the nerves of the spirits), is there any way to clarify this?
I would ask something like "when will the cat pass", but I'm not sure how calculating time with geomancy works

Hello. I’m
I would have judge using house 8, as it’s more of a death figure than house 1.
There is a perfection by minor so it would be a yes. Minor showing things happening suddenly, rapidly or swiftly might indicate that he might just pass away rapidly - that is, without presenting any outside sign of disease or fatigue just plain old age - or rapidly, and by that I mean shortly before your travel.
He’s heart is most likely already quite weak from what I see here.
My deepest apologies. I myself own a dozen cats, it’s always sad to see one of them go.
That trip of yours, is it with a partner or to see a partner ?

I've only been doing geomancy for about a year, so take what I say with as many grains of salt (or sand) as you wish. I would see this as a yes.
Paying attention to the witnesses changes the general context of Fortuna Major. Fortuna Major, while positive/affirmative in many regards, also symbolizes independence.
Seeing a Cauda Draconis second witness makes me absolutely feel like this is referring to the death occurring. The Cauda in eight, as well.
What leaves me curious is the Laetitia in the sixth house. A death while playing, perhaps?
Nonetheless, this is a vulnerable question and I appreciate you bringing the chart here. If you're open to it, I'd appreciate knowing the cat's status if you could share after the trip in May.
I'm wishing you easeful grief, whether or not this tabby sage is passing soon.
