Mercury, the pitcher’s planet, is very strong when in its natural sign of Gemini.

Members of the Golden State Warriors were physically handed the NBA championship trophy as Saturn was exactly conjunct the Ascendant. The championship ceremony reached this crescendo at 11:39 pm EDT in Boston on June 16, 2022. In baseball, there is always an exact aspect from an axis point (within one degree) to Saturn when the…
I have been asked if I have a birthchart for the Golden State Warriors. I do have a birthchart of the Warriors but the chart is not yet rectified. I have cast this chart for June 6, 1946. The 9:00 am birth time is an approximation. I have also cast the chart for San Francisco,…
Andrea Mallis and I discuss the astrology behind Alyssa Nakken’s coaching debut, the Giants history of progressive breakthroughs, and the goddess energy within baseball.

March 13 Soon after the National League experienced its Mercury return on March 10, the MLP Players Association and Major League Baseball came to an agreement that ends the lockout and permits a full 162-game season.

Russian ice skater Kamila Valieva was born with a very strong Grand Cross in the fixed signs. Her Sun in Taurus is anchored by a square from Saturn in Leo, the sign of sports and performing arts. This aspect made her a tenacious competitor and performer. Less fortunately, her Sun and Saturn are opposed by…
Feb. 15, 2022 I do the astrology of football as well! The Rams won Super Bowl 56 with Saturn conjunct their MC. In baseball, it is Saturn that crowns the champions at the end of the Season. My experiences watching Super Bowl finishes have not convinced me that Saturn plays the same role of champ…
What’s in a name? When the Cleveland franchise was called the Indians, the name included controversy and 106 years of tenacity; perhaps what you could expect from an Ascendant in Capricorn afflicted by a square from Saturn and another square from a Moon in Aries. The Cleveland franchise recently put to rest the “Indians” mascot…
The Oakland Athletics introduced former player and coach Mark Kotsay as their manager on Dec 21, 2021 as the Sun was conjunct the A’s natal Saturn.

When the last out of a baseball season is recorded, there is invariably an aspect from an axis to Saturn or to a planet in Capricorn. (This aspect will exist to a planet in transit or to a planet within the winning team’s natal chart.) The 2021 season ended unusually in that this aspect from…
As Game 6 begins, Saturn will be conjunct the MC and casting its shadow over the whole game. Saturn is the Lord of Time, and he will make his presence known throughout the game.

Nov. 1, 2021 Game 5 occurred on a near lunar return for the Astros, as the Moon in transit was almost exactly conjunct their natal Moon. Still, but by the end of the game, the Moon in transit had advanced to within one degree of the Astros natal Moon and it had been well-channeled by…
October 31, 2021 The chart for Game 5 does not have an obvious signature for the Braves to clinch the World Series. They are ahead in the Series, 3 games to 1, but the chart for Game 5 does not have a Saturn aspect looming which would indicate an end to the baseball season. (When…
October 31, 2021 The Sun Saturn square brought another tight tense contest for Game 4. The Saturn energy also brought a late-inning Braves comeback as they overcame a 2-0 Astros lead, scoring one run in the sixth inning and two runs in the seventh inning. Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson channeled the aspect of Mars at…
Like in Game 3, the Sun and Saturn are square to each other. Expect another close game. This game may not be low scoring like Game 4, since it lacks the opposition of the Moon to Jupiter. A new aspect is Mars at 0 degrees Scorpio square to the Braves Sun of 0 degrees Aquarius.…
