NBA astrology 2k12′ edition
Posted by: | Comments
With the emergence of New York Knicks free agent point guard turn hero Jeremy Lin; I was compelled to reevaluate the astrology of the current stars as well as take another look back.
88′ power cluster
The last 3rd of 1988 has spawned a seemingly incredible crop of young stars. Kevin Durant, Derrick Rose, and Russell Westbrook all have Mars Aries. I’m not sure at the moment why this particular stretch of Mars Aries has produced such a group of players. Derrick Rose and Russell Westbrook have fire moons to go along with the Mars Aries helping to augment their explosive athleticism. One issue that needs to be watched closely is back issues due to Saturn in Sagittarius. Derrick Rose is the first one to show the effects of that with chronic back spasms.
The new kid on the block so to speak Jeremy Lin was also born in the same period in 1988 and has Mars Aries as well. Over the past 4 game winning streak, Lin has provided assertiveness, leadership , and charisma which are all positive traits of Mars Aries. (Baron Davis who is on the bench recovering from a back injury for the Knicks is also a Mars Aries native).
Around the league
Timberwolves young point guard Ricky Rubio has been a major catalyst in the Timberwolves run . His Mars Gemini is showing ( great hands) in his assist and steals stat columns. The thing to look out for with Mars Gemini’s is they have great hands ( Patrick Ewing, and Zach Randolph are two big men who have/ had this placement) as Gemini rules hands, lungs , and arms. But at the expense of the knees and legs , which is not nearly as detrimental to big men as a point guard. Rubio has actually been a professional since he was 14 so he’s been playing for a while now and not a true rookie in the sense of the word. We will have to see how his legs hold up.
Blake Griffin is another Mars Gemini native who will have to look out for leg issues . Saturn Capricorn will manifest itself in the joints, skin, and bones so that’s something to keep an eye on also.
A look back
A look back at the 1992 dreamteam reveals some very interesting astrological facts. The entire roster’s sun signs complimented each other. The sun being a mans fundamental expression of masculinity means that in male professional sports this needs to be the first characteristic evaluated.
Here are some interesting facts about the 92′ dreamteam roster:
- 6 Leos ( Magic Johnson, Chris Mullin, Patrick Ewing, Karl Malone, David Robinson, and Christian Laettner).
- Dynamic air sign duo ( Michael Jordon Aquarius, and Scottie Pippen Libra)
- Shooter and disher extraordinaires ( Larry Bird Sagittarius and John Stockton Aries)
- The entire roster was masculine signs.

Posted by: | CommentsThe 2012 presidential election is less than a year away, and there is no definitive leader in the Republican race as of yet. So far Mitt Romney has accumulated the most delegates and is in the lead. Many already believe Mitt Romney will be the one who will be President Obama’s opponent in the general election. What does this have to do with Neptune in Pisces?
Age of deception
Neptune will be home in Pisces until 2026 indicating the next 14 years humanity will see an increase in scams, schemes, and fraud. Many will laugh and think “business as usual”; business as usual will be harder at work in this period. There are astrologers who consider Neptune a malefic planet because it’s negative effects outweigh it’s positive. Neptune brings confusion and fog. Making whatever Neptune aspects hard to grasp.
Consider a global “fog” where masses of people are easily swindled. In history, the California gold rush took place during the last Neptune in Pisces transit. The gold rush promised untold riches for the migrants who moved out west. The reality is, very few became wealthy. These types of overstated and over advertised “opportunities” will become more enticing and beguiling in the near future. Especially if the economy worsens.
Neptune rules over drugs and intoxicants; and rules the 12th house of hospitals, prisons and asylums. With economic conditions worsening there will be more cases of drug abuse and alcohol abuse. It’s what Neptune does. The frustration of not knowing how to proceed or where to go will bring many to “self-medication.”
In-step Governor Romney and co
What does Mitt Romney have to do with this? Astrologically Mitt Romney is a tall Gemini asc, (air sign ascendants are taller, or appear taller because of their frame). Since Mitt Romney is a Sun, Mercury, and Mars Piscean, these planets are on his MH ( career, notoriety). Mitt Romney IS deception incarnated and many question whether or not he has a core philosophy or dogma in his politics. Add in Neptune transiting his midheaven and conjuncting his mars and mercury in Pisces and it makes for a Sheppard who can pull the wool over the eyes of his sheep. This is one person whose word deserves to be questioned;for the simple fact that he himself is not “clear” on his own intentions.
He has made statements that push the envelope as far as misinformation go. Like these for example
“My sons are all adults and they’ve made decisions about their careers and they’ve chosen not to serve in the military and active duty and I respect their decision in that regard. One of the ways my sons are showing support for our nation is helping me get elected because they think I’d be a great president.”
“I’m not a big-game hunter. I’ve made that very clear. I’ve always been a rodent and rabbit hunter. Small varmints, if you will.”
<
Newt Gingrich is a double Gemini and he is another one who Neptune will have an effect on . If Newt Gingrich doesn’t win he may very well end up a VP candidate.
The good
Neptune is the universal lover and Pisces is the martyr. Looking out for one another no matter what happens is one of the best effects of the Neptune season. Neighbors and communities in theory will be more understanding and accommodating to each others plight.This element of Neptune will be critical to the future.
How do you see Neptune in Pisces playing out? Will Mitt Romney be the nominee ? The President? Lend me your thoughts.
Copyright secured by Digiprove © 2012Period of revolution: A historical look at the upcoming Saturn-Pluto mutual reception.
Posted by: | CommentsThis overall vibration of angst and backlash towards the government, banking, and big business seems to be right on time. Uranus is transiting Aries and this was one of the first signifiers of of public outcry against a culture of corruption , the relationship between business and government. So people worldwide have been taking action to show their displeasure in the ever falling standard of living. Now a very historically powerful new phase is going to take place very soon. A transit that hasn’t occurred since 1776! That’s right the last time this transit took place was the American revolution. That transit is Saturn in Scorpio mutually receiving Pluto in Capricorn, which indicates destruction and rebuilding (pluto/Scorpio) of government and order (Saturn. Capricorn).So I want to go through this historically piece by piece in chronological order to paint the picture, because history repeats itself and to understand the future one must know the past. This transit begins October 2012.
Key elements of the American revolution took place December 1776-January 1778 under this transit:
June 17th 1777- Stars and stripes adopted- Saturn rx 26degrees Libra, Pluto 29 degrees Capricorn.
The US flag was a banner that was carried by the confederate army. 13 stars based on the 13 colonies . Betsy Ross is said to have been the seamstress of the original flag.
November 1777- Articles of confederation first ratified-Saturn 8 degrees Scorpio and Pluto 28 degrees Capricorn.
First states signed on to the confederation. Agreeing to state sovereignty and small federal government.
Winter 1777/1778 – Valley Forge refuge- Pluto in Capricorn 28 degrees- 30 in Aquarius, Saturn in 11 degrees Scorpio.
George Washington and troops built camp in Valley forge and stayed for the winter until the British left Philadelphia.
So with that transit it does show in my opinion that the current governmental systems and economy systems will cease to exist in their present form. I think many people now “know” (Uranus) this and there is some historical evidence based on astro-dynamics to back this belief up. The economies of the world are in shambles and need to be rebuilt and reformed because they are unsustainable presently. The inevitable is they will collapse. This time around the orb of the reception will be much closer indicating more intense. So the question is what will you do about it?
Oprah and company: The crusade against egoism astrologically
Posted by: | CommentsOprah Winfrey recently , towards the end of her shows run and now into her own network venture, has been the advocate of many new age and metaphysical principles. She has been consulting and communicating many spiritual advisers , leaders , and authors and there is one rather large topic of discussion that she and a few of her spiritual mentors seem to have somewhat of an obsession with. That topic is the ego. Why is this? Well the answers can very well be narrowed down to astrology.
First we have to take a look at Oprah‘s own natal situation to understand this more.
Oprah speaks on ego issues a lot. About dissolving the ego, how ego damages others (possibly) and how ego(or at least the unevolved ego) is a cause for many of the ills of modern society. When we take a look at her natal chart though it is very easy to see why and how she could have a negative view or has trouble understanding the ego.
That is because her own Sun is placed in Aquarius which is the sign of it’s detriment. The sun functions poorly in Aquarius. The Sun’s home is in Leo which indicates a strong self identity, strong ego, a need for expressing self, a lively individual, a leader, a showman. With this comes self centeredness, arguments , ignoring others needs , narcissism, self importance( manifestations are predicated upon planetary aspects, house placement and other factors). These are all issues that an Aquarius may have trouble dealing with and expressing. Since Aquarius is “all of us”/ Uranus as opposed to the Sun /”me”/ “center of the universe”, Aquarians can have trouble having thoughts, creations of their own. They are eclectic so their “self” expression is largely a gumbo of others thoughts and expressions. So when asked for personal opinions and feelings there can be a cold objectivity that really doesn’t take personal views into account. After all it’s about humanity and there’s no room for my personal issues in humanity. . Thi
So when Oprah talks about the ego it’s essentially a place of misunderstanding in my opinion. Now let’s take a look at her chart. Her Sun is exactly conjunct Venus in Aquarius. So not only does she embody the Aquarian principles but she values and appreciates them. Then her Mercury is also placed in Aquarius. So there is a strong Aquarian influence there. Her Jupiter is placed in Gemini which is a sign of it’s detriment as well. Jupiter is a spiritual planet , placed in Gemini makes the spiritual mind logical .
Two of Oprah’s “new age” spiritual advisers, one of whom she speaks extensively of ego issues with are also Aquarians. “A new earth” author Eckhart Tolle is one of the ego specialists Oprah confides in and the other is Reverend Ed Bacon, who is an Episcopal priest in Pasadena, California. Both just so happen to be Aquarians and coincidentally born on the same date in the same year.
Their chart:
We see that they both have Aquarius Suns as well. And they have Mercury placed in Pisces which is also in it’s detriment. It indicates inspirational speakers, but the main point is it is another non egocentric position and Pisces is service oriented and spiritual in nature. This chart has markers for spiritual practicality I guess is what you could call it.
Healthy ego and self identity is important. The zodiac at the end of the day is about balances. So the Aquarian idea of Utopia and peaceful coexistence and understanding is a great idea and principle especially now that we’re in the Age of Aquarius. It is not really a possibility however because there will always be Aquarians opposite Leo, and there will also be Aries, and Scorpios, and Sagittarians around . There will always be ego centered people on the earth. So by understanding the nature of Aquarius we can understand the desires and vision that Oprah sees. But we must understand that it’s not natural for everyone to view life in this way so there could never completely be the ” New Earth” how the Aquarius envisions it.
I’d really like feedback on this please if you have any thoughts or questions don’t hesitate to respond.
