House of the Dragon Season 3 Fates: A Destiny Reading of the Dance
Who lives and who dies in House of the Dragon Season 3? We overlay the Dance of the Dragons with Six Star Astrology to predict the Targaryen bloodbath.
As House of the Dragon barrels toward Season 3, the board is set for the most devastating chapters of George R.R. Martin’s Fire & Blood. The blockade of the Gullet, the fall of King's Landing, and the catastrophic duels above the Gods Eye are no longer distant threats—they are imminent. We already know the historical spoilers: the period between 129 AC and 131 AC is a meat grinder for House Targaryen. But what happens when we strip away the dragons and the Valyrian steel, and look at these character arcs through the lens of Eastern destiny reading?
By mapping the birth years of the Targaryen royals to the Japanese astrological framework, we can overlay the Dance of the Dragons onto a destiny grid. Understanding what Six Star Astrology actually is reveals a chilling truth: the bloodiest moments of the civil war align perfectly with the characters' most vulnerable astrological phases. When we run the timeline of 129–131 AC through the full system Kazuko Hosoki built, the Targaryen Destiny Matrix exposes exactly why certain royals fall, and who was doomed from the start.
Rhaenyra Targaryen (born 97 AC) and Daemon Targaryen (born 81 AC) share a volatile, magnetic bond that anchors the Black faction. In our astrological mapping, Rhaenyra aligns perfectly with the Jupiter (+) star type—a profile defined by fierce independence, visionary leadership, and an inherent risk of sudden, catastrophic falls from grace. Daemon, conversely, operates with the chaotic, aggressive energy of a Mars (-) type. He is unpredictable, deeply charismatic, but prone to self-destruction when his autonomy is threatened.
In the 12-year fortune cycle, a ruler's destiny is dictated by the seasons of their chart. For Rhaenyra, the seizure of King's Landing in 130 AC initially looks like a triumph, the peak of her Jupiter (+) summer. But 130 AC is a trap. It marks the onset of her Daisakkai—the three-year winter of her fortune. The 130 AC Calamity Convergence explains why her reign in the capital unravels so rapidly. Paranoia sets in, alliances fracture, and the very dragons that secured her throne become the instruments of her undoing at the Dragonpit. The timeline from 129 AC's Battle of the Gullet to 131 AC's Poisoned Chalice is not just military failure; it is an astrological free-fall.
Daemon’s fate is inextricably linked to Rhaenyra’s, but his Mars (-) chart dictates a different kind of exit. Mars types do not fade away in exile; they burn out in spectacular, localized supernovas. By late 130 AC, Daemon has entered the "Stagnation" phase of his own chart. His solution to this cosmic dead end is the Gods Eye.
The Fatal Conjunction at the Gods Eye
If there is one event fans are clamoring for in Season 3 (or early Season 4), it is the Battle Above the Gods Eye. Daemon Targaryen versus Aemond Targaryen. Caraxes versus Vhagar. Astrologically, this is a masterclass in fatal charting. Aemond (born 109 AC) embodies the Saturn (-) profile: intense, solitary, driven by a rigid internal code, and exceptionally prone to holding generational grudges.
When we analyze their compatibility by star type, Mars (-) and Saturn (-) are a recipe for mutual annihilation. Mars demands immediate, violent resolution; Saturn demands slow, grinding retribution. Their 130 AC Collision over the Gods Eye is the ultimate manifestation of this clash. Daemon, the Mars (-) Rogue Prince, leaps from his saddle to drive Dark Sister through the eye of Aemond, the Saturn (-) Kinslayer. Both men die. Both dragons die. It is a textbook Daisakkai termination event—when two incompatible stars enter their calamity phases simultaneously, the resulting vacuum destroys everything in its blast radius.
Across the realm, the Green Council faces its own astrological reckoning. Aegon II (born 107 AC) fits the Uranus (+) profile. Uranus types are often thrust into leadership roles by family pressure rather than personal ambition, relying heavily on their inner circle to survive. Aegon’s chart suggests a false peak in 131 AC. He reclaims the Iron Throne, but it is a hollow victory. Because Uranus (+) is highly susceptible to betrayal during a destiny winter, Aegon II peaks in 131 AC before a sudden collapse—specifically, a poisoned cup of wine.
Queen Alicent Hightower (born 88 AC) is the quintessential Mercury (-) type. Strategic, deeply focused on legacy, and remarkably resilient. Mercury types are survivors. While the rest of her family is consumed by the Dance, Alicent survives but loses the era. She outlives her husband, her sons, and her rival, Rhaenyra, but spends her final years confined to her chambers, descending into madness as her Mercury (-) intellect turns inward.
But the true tragedy of the Emerald Court Downfall belongs to Queen Helaena (born 109 AC). As a Venus (+) type, Helaena is sensitive, prophetic, and deeply tied to the emotional undercurrents of her environment. Venus types shatter when their sanctuary is violated. The trauma of Blood and Cheese in 129 AC pushes her to the brink, but it is the broader calamity of 130 AC that seals her fate. Helaena falls into the psychic void in 130 AC, leading to her fatal plunge from Maegor's Holdfast.
Here is where House of the Dragon Season 3 has the opportunity to subvert Fire & Blood. The history books, written by maesters, record Helaena’s death as a simple act of despair. But showrunner Ryan Condal has already established Helaena as an active dragon dreamer.
Our bold prediction: Helaena’s death will not be framed as a surrender to the Daisakkai, but as a deliberate, mystical sacrifice. Venus (+) types in their calamity phase often experience profound spiritual awakenings that look like madness to outsiders. We predict Season 3 will reveal that Helaena foresaw the complete eradication of magic—the death of the dragons—and chose to step out of the physical realm to preserve a fragment of that power. Her fall will be depicted not as a tragic end, but as a conscious transition, a "Dreamer's Sacrifice" that seeds the eventual return of dragons centuries later.
Charting Your Own Realm
You do not need to be a dragonrider to feel the crushing weight of a destiny winter, nor do you need to sit the Iron Throne to experience the sudden elevation of a Jupiter (+) summer. The mechanics that doomed Rhaenyra and Daemon are the exact same mechanics operating in modern boardrooms, relationships, and personal crises.
If you find yourself facing your own localized Dance of the Dragons—a period of intense conflict, sudden betrayals, or inexplicable roadblocks—you might be navigating the Daisakkai / Great Calamity Period blind. Do not fly into the storm without a map. You can find your own Six Star destiny chart today to see exactly which phase of the 12-year cycle you are currently surviving. Knowing your star type won't give you a dragon, but it will tell you exactly when to stay grounded.
