San Diego Padres shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. received a suspension for use of a banned substance on Aug 11, 2022 as Mercury at 13 degrees Virgo was exactly square to the Padres natal Moon and Mars in Virgo. The planet Mars rules shortstops, the position of Tatis. Mercury is the messenger who brings the news, whether it is welcome or not.

The other transit involved in the suspension is the t-square that includes the Nodes in Scorpio and Taurus, Mars and Uranus in Taurus, Saturn in Aquarius and the Sun in Leo. The planets of this t-square all made aspects to the Padres’ Neptune in Scorpio. The Sun, in transit at 20 Leo, also made a semi-square aspect to the Padres’ natal Sun of 6 degrees Gemini.
