Darts and astrology

I am not a darts fan, even though throwing arrows would fit my sun sign. But as my husband likes it, I see a lot of it. Yesterday I saw Michael van Gerwen against Garry Anderson and a part of Phil Taylor against Raymond van Barneveld. Of course I checked their birth data, transits and progressions, even though there are no known hours of birth. The astrological situation of Michael van Gerwen was clearly nasty and he looked tired and sad. His day of birth is April 25, 1989. His progressed Sun entered Gemini this year and the planet of blockades, Saturn, entered Sagittarius on December 24. That is an opposition. To make it even worse, progressed Mars was exactly opposite his natal Saturn. To finish it, transit Pluto joined his natal Saturn and was opposite his progressed Mars as well. More than 3 difficult aspects to symbolize difficulties in real life were enough, even though he made it to the semi finals. And I don't even know what kind of transits and progressions there were for the Moon, MC or Ascendant! He had bad bad luck.

His fellow country man Barney (Raymond van Barneveld) didn't make it to the finals, either. He was born April 20, 1967 and had transit Mars square Neptune. He was very tired, too.

Phil Taylor had transit Pluto and Uranus in aspect with progressed Sun, so it wasn't easy for him and there was a lot of stress. However, transit Mars sextile Jupiter and Jupiter himself on his natal Sun are a big big help. He might be the champion. Don't bet on it (I don't know his Ascendant, MC or Moon!). 

Garry Anderson (December 22, 1970) will see progressed Sun-Saturn next year. Stressful Pluto is for now. The fact that he won was more related to the nasty positions in Van Gerwen's chart than to happy transits in his. But again, no hour of birth, and the fact that the future changes while I am writing. Speaking of darts, have you ever read that post on the Arrow of time?

Sochi Winter Games, chart of the start

Soon there will be the kick off for the Winter Games of Sochi, 2014. It seems that the men and women who are to compete have nice accommodations but that the journalists have to deal with unfinished hotels sometimes. Never mind, the show must go on! Let's have a look at the chart of the kick off.

The official starting moment of the Olympics in Sochi is Friday, February 7 at 20:14 hours local time, with Mercury square Midheaven and conjunct Neptune on the Descendant, opposition Pallas.

Here is the chart for that moment with the planet of achievement, competition and fighting (Mars) without major aspects in sign or orb 5 degrees. When Mars is 'calling' there will be efforts at any possible level. The other side is that there might be aggression or attacks, too. ,The Moon in Gemini elevated and sesquisquare Venus and Pluto (rising before the Sun), hopefully intensifying the good mood. The Venus-Pluto conjunction in the 5th house of games and entertainment is still opposition Jupiter in the 11th. Perhaps the costs and the price of the games are higher than was to be expected.

And here is the chart for President Putin on that specific day.

Click for a larger picture

There are 3 important aspects:

transit Jupiter quindecile Mars
transit Jupiter trine Venus
These two transits of Jupiter mirror growing passion. The first transit shows a strong focus (if not obsession) to succeed and for a party.

transit Saturn square Pluto is more complicated (read about the boomerang effect here: http://astromarkt.net/saturn-in-aspect-with-pluto.html ). This transit shows the danger of the nasty sides of politics. The good thing about this transit is that it has already been exact when the games start. Saturn-Pluto combinations are frequent in the charts of individual sports men and women.

I very much hope for safe games with a happy ending for all involved and maybe even a good influence for the sake of Russian homosexuals and for the people of Sochi.

Saturn Scorpio - Pluto Capricorn and the elderly

In a lot of Western countries the situation of the elderly used to be better than ever before in history. up to now. Unlike the old and ill in history those who were too old to take care of themselves didn't have to depend on children, church or donations. They didn't have to take a blanket and die alone on an icy mountain. They were take  care off by the state.  Pluto in Capricorn and Saturn in Scorpio are symbols of state finance. Now that Pluto is in Capricorn states can't afford to have debts any more. Can they still afford to provide for the elderly?

In my country the State pension for all elderly (regardless of their income or possessions) started in 1956, with Saturn in Scorpio in a narrow square with Pluto in Leo. That was an important moment in history for the elderly and their children. They were liberated. There was less to worry about. Of course, you had to pay (Pluto) taxes (Saturn)...

Most companies also joined a pension fund for their employees. Some of the companies even offered free retirement funds and an early retirement at age 57!

Meanwhile, people got older and older. The generations born after World War II got less children than ever before. They were not needed for future care anymore and the world -including Europe - was overcrowded, they said, in the 60/70's.

We all had a good life and good prospects until the crisis. Technology would conquer and win! We might even live forever in prosperity.

Old man drinking coffee at Fosnes Nursing Home in Norway at Christmas Time by Thomas Bjorkan

The picture shows how comfortable old age looked like...

Now, with Saturn in Scorpio in mutual reception with Pluto in Capricorn they start arguiging about when to retire and about what the elderly should be given.

When in 1956 the first 65+ men and women were enabled to live on their own, people were not against the fact that they had to pay for them. There was more and more money to be earned and the future was bright. Now we see depression all around. Those under the age of 40 fear about their old age and their future and a controversy between the grandparents and grandchildren or parents and children seems to be on the way. When the man or woman aged 40 will be 65+ there will be even less children to provide for them and they will still be paying for the 85+...

There was no problem when there was enough money, but ... this money was invested the wrong way and the governments and employers took away money from the funds in the good years. So now we have a problem (Pluto) with the elderly (Capricorn) that is in fact an economical crisis and political failure of governments without a policy that looked ahead for more than their four years caused all this.
There is no time for taking the old men and women outside, no time for a talk or a walk. And politicians point at family (even if there isn't any and even if the family has to work harder and longer than ever). They must do it. We are back at the starting point. When Saturn is conjunct Pluto, in January 2020, will financing old age start all over again, another way? I'll have to find out more about Saturn conjunct Pluto in history to see what happened. However...

Just like with shares results of the past are no guarantee for the future... That is because the world of the past is not THIS world and the symbol of Pluto in Capricorn differs from history.  I wonder how the situation for the elderly was in the days of Pluto in Capricorn in history.

LINKS
At least, I didn't have to dive into history about Pluto in Capricorn, because I found an interesting study on Celestial Insight. I'll be back on the conjunction with Saturn in those days...

Alberto Contador, Jupiter and the positive test

Usually (or should I say: in the cases that I studied) there is a Sun-Jupiter combination in the charts, transits or progressions when someone is found positive in doping cases. Being positive CAN have a negative meaning.... I have written about that before (see the links).
This time Alberto Contador has been found positive (but it might just be a matter of food contamination, says Contador's publicist). Transit Jupiter is in an exact minor aspect with the progressed Sun (75 degrees). There is no aspect between the natal Sun in Sagittarius*) and Jupiter in the natal chart (unless 20 degrees distance has a meaning). More minor aspects with Pholus and Uranus mirror the upheaval and the conflict (like transit Pholus semi square natal Mars).

Time unknown chart of Contador

Sun-Jupiter transits and progressions keep popping up when doping is involved (or when someone is being found ‘ positive’). All about the negative positive Jupiter in doping cases:

Synastry coaches Okada (Japan)-Van Marwijk (Netherlands)

The chart below shows the astrological postions at noon for the day that Takeshi Okada was born in Osaka. He is the Japanese coach (WC 2010).Bert van Marwijk is the Dutch coach. His positions are the 'transits'. Okada doesn't like Van Marwijk and it is more than a matter of competition. Okada is offended because Bert van Marwijk forgot him, completely, and didn't remember his face. Van Marwijk even asked him if he knew who the Japanese coach was...

It is easy to dislike each other, because:
- The Sun of Van Marwijk is opposition the Saturn of Okada (distance)
- The Sun of Van Marwijk is inconjunct the Neptune of Okada (disproportional grieve)
- The Sun of Van Marwijk is square the Pluto of Okada (anger)
- The Northern Node of Van Marwijk is square Okada's Saturn (distance again)
- The Mars of Van Marwijk is square the Uranus of Okada (short temper..)
- The Jupiter of Van Marwijk is opposition the Uranus of Okada (I liked the interpretation of Skyviewzone, especially the part of little understanding of what each of the two is about:)

Yes, this interaction between the natal chart positions shows distance, disturbance, hot temper and humilation. And that is exactly what Okada says: he thinks that Van Marwijk humilated him.

On Saturday June 19, 13:30 hours, there is the match Netherlands-Japan in Durban RSA. Let's see if revenge rally is sweet:)

HOW ABOUT YOU?
What if you meet a person who has such a lot of difficult synastry aspects with you? Avoid the man or woman!:) Unless you really like to be tought a lesson in relationships...You can calculate the synastry aspects between your chart positions and his/hers even if you don't know the hour of birth. Just create a 'time unknown' chart with the transits for the day of birth of the partner and see what aspects are between the positions. Curious about aspects and more basics of astrology?

Chart of Lionel Messi

I found the presentation of a chart with hour of birth for the young soccer (football) player Lionel Messi on this site Astrologia Diana Rosa: using Google in Spanish. It is 20:20. I don’t know the source of this hour. Is it coincidence that Spica is on Midheaven, promising wealth and fame or is this a ‘ guess chart’ or ‘ corrected chart’? If that is so, it was a good one, because the positions correspond with what you’d expect, like the Ascendant semi square Saturn (and think of his nick name ' La Pulga', because of being small and fast. Saturn is the symbol of limitations and concentrations (and of small things).
So, here are some of my observations for this chart.

JUPITER-URANUS
Ruler 1 Uranus is in Sagittarius and the angular Jupiter is trine ruler 1 Uranus: double statement for inventive techniques and positive changes in his life because of a helicopter view. These changes, this sudden windfall, is happening now. But this is not the first or the last time that Jupiter and Uranus marked important periods in his career. When he had his debute in the first team of FC Barcelona, transit Neptune would be square progressed Midheaven and Progressed Midheaven would be semi square Uranus (ruler 1) and quindecile Jupiter. Interesting, this repeating pattern of Jupiter and Uranus…Together with Mars, Jupiter and Uranus are in tight aspect with Midheaven in the natal chart, too. The first chart in this post is the debute chart (natal, transits and progressions).

NOW
The progressed Sun has been inconjunct Uranus and that was disturbing his fysical balance, but now the progressed Sun is moving towards a square with his angular Jupiter: it will be OK, he will get better (but maybe not during the first week of this WC). Within one year the Jupiter-Uranus progression has completed and the positive changes have occurred. Here is the chart for now:

MORE…
The angular Jupiter is connected with the Sun by a sesquisemisquare (67.5 degrees). On July 5, 2010 transit Jupiter will be square natal Sun. That is another good sign for success.

Pluto is on top of this chart. Transit Pluto was opposition natal Sun in the last months of 2009, when he won three important cups. Winning also meant stress and a body being ‘ exploited’ and challenged, of course together with a strong will to win and impress. He impressed, but forced to much of himself. That is why he is tired. He is a top scorer with 34 goals in 2009/2010!

Later this summer, in August, there will be another combination of Saturn and Pluto followed by Jupiter and Uranus. But first: the WC! Use the labels under this post for more about football, the Jupiter Uranus combination or the combination of Saturn and Pluto in Sports.

Four Mount Everest climbers

Sherpas are cleaning the Mount Everest and trying to bring the bodies down of death climbers who remained in the deep frost of the icy mountain. Scott Fischer and Gianni Goltz are two of those found climbers. Just like climbers Wilco van Rooijen and Edmund Hillary they have a Mars-Uranus aspect in their chart: the drive for excitement and the company of fellow men. It is an aspect that often involves: taking risks… (See the examples (labels under this post) or move to Astromarkt to see more… ). Fischer and Goltz also both had an aspect between Saturn and Pluto*) (i.e. square and quindecile).

They also had an affliction with or from the oriental planet of their natal chart on the bad day that they lost their lives doing what they liked most: climbing.
1. Fischer had Progressed Sun 75 Saturn, his oriental planet.
2. Goltz had transit Jupiter (his oriental planet) inconjunct natal Sun.

Another example:
Climber Wilco van Rooijen (Mars tine Uranus in the natal chart) was rescued in time in August 2008 (see that post). He has Mars trine Uranus in the natal chart. His oriental planet is Neptune. When he had a serious accident his progressed Sun was changing sign and progressed Saturn was conjunct natal Saturn (a progressed Saturn return). He didn’t die. He was rescued in 2008 with transit Jupiter conjunct Sun.

It seems that a conflict with a prominent planet in the natal chart (and an oriental planet is such a prominent planet!) is reflecting an event in a more radical and thorough way and is mirroring more ‘ prominent’ influences. Also the natures of the aspect combinations speak for themselves:
- Goltz’ inconjunction with Jupiter is showing that he was overdoing things (he had success and he made it to the top, but…- inconjunction- with a lost involved). He lost his life when he climbed without using oxygen and refused to take oxygen when he felt bad on the way back. One of the sherpas declared that he might have survived had he accepted the oxygen.
- Fischer had bad weather conditions and when he needed more oxygen there was not enough. He couldn’t be reachted in time. The progressed Sun sesquisquare Saturn shows that some barrier or bad luck frustrated him and his vitality. Transit Saturn is now inconjunct his progressed Sun. The family didn’t allow the sherpas to move the body from the place where he died.

Winter Games: Gold for Sven Kramer

Speed skater Sven Kramer won the Gold Medal yesterday (Winter Games, 5000 meter in 6.14,60). It was the only medal missing in his cupboard:)
Sven Kramer is a real champion, the son of skating talents, well trained and skilled. And he also had perfect transits reflecting 'winning' yesterday. It was a day for success and it was a prosperous moment for winning. That and the fact that Sven Kramer is one of the world's greatest speed skaters already, helped him to reach the number one position. The transits were:

a. Transit Sun of February 13 semi square his natal Jupiter/Pluto (midpoint of success) and
b. Transit Jupiter was exactly trine natal Pluto (helping him to win or – if you wish – reflecting the happy winner).*)
And of course the second one is the most important transit.

BORN SKATER
He was born April 23, 1986 in Heerenveen, sun of a skating talent (Yep Kramer, born November 15, 1957). He and his father share:
- An important Jupiter (for travelling, the international and for positivism and confidence leading to success). Sven has Jupiter rising before the Sun; father Yep has a 'calling' Jupiter (without major aspects within 5 degrees).
- Sun in minor and major aspect with Pluto and Saturn (a combination that is useful in the charts of individual sportsmen who have to be concentrated). Sven has Sun opposition Pluto and biquintile Saturn; Yep has Sun half semi square Saturn and binovile Pluto). For more examples of Saturn and Pluto's effect in sport, see this link...Together, father and son share their success and a ‘die hard’ constitution (ignoring pain, consistency when it becomes difficult). Here is the chart of his day of birth at noon (no hob available) with transits and progressions.

Chart day of birth Urban Meyer

Sometimes even without an hour of birth, there is a clear picture of a given situation.

Florida American football coach Urban Meyer has re-evaluated his priorities after worries about his health. He won't step back completely, but he takes a (long) leave instead, it seems.
Here is his chart. Transit Saturn is now inconjunct his natal Saturn, perfectly reflecting disbalance and worries. The inconjunction is often involved when there is a problem with health. Transit Saturn is also 75 degrees from natal Sun (and in the natal chart transit Saturn is sesquisquare Sun). That makes the effect of the transit stronger. And that is not all. Transit Pluto is quindecile (165d) his natal Sun, adding stress and a focus (quindecile) on health(Sun)problems(Pluto).

Good time for a time out, also because the transit of Saturn is not over yet and will be back in 2010. First he wanted to step back, now it seems that he is reconsidering it and will just be taking a leave. The present retrograding Mercury makes us all think twice...
The time of birth is unknown. But one thing is sure: Mars is the first outer planet rising before his Sun and that is perfect for competition!

Jupiter in the chart of Agassi

André Agassi, top level tennis player, wrote about his life and confessed to have used hard drugs. When I read that, I had to think about Marion Jones (read the post about the chart of Marion Joneshere...) and other cases of doping. Jupiter had an important role to play in those cases. The latest example on my Dutch blog Astrokrant is Dutch gymnast Youri van Gelder. He was born April 23, 1983. He confessed using cocaine this year and was immediately fired (he was a sergeant in the army). His punishment is also that he cannot play in the Olympics. At the time of his confession transit Jupiter was square his progressed Sun. Agassi has transit Jupiter trine progressed Sun today. There is indeed a Sun-Jupiter connection with doping or with confessions to use doping. Read more about this on this blog...

JUPITER
In the chart of Agassi there is a wide square between Sun and Jupiter. It is almost a binovile. Jupiter is an important planet on the day that he was born. Jupiter doesn't make major aspects and is 'calling'. This tells us that he is successful, optimistic and positive (...sic) at any possible level. Agassi is an international, too and Jupiter is the planet of the wide wide world. His father was born in Iran and his wife is German. Jupiter is prominent.

Today transit Jupiter is exactly trine his progressed Sun. The difference between Marion Jones, a lot of cyclists and Agassi is, that Agassi didn't have to pay for using drugs and that he manages to earn money with the confession. It is in his memoirs!

URANUS-NEPTUNE
The revelation is reflected by the actual positions of Uranus and Neptune, semi sextile and in mutual reception. They both make hard minor aspects with the natal Sun of Agassi. Uranus is semi square. Transit Neptune is 75 degrees from the Sun. Transit Neptune is also square his progressed Mercury. One might wonder why he wanted to confess this now. Maybe because he is religious (the prominent Jupiter is semi sextile Neptune)?

NATAL

The natal chart of Agassi is unknown. What you see here are the positions on his day of birth. He shares those positions with others born on the same day. What special characteristics made him a famous tennis player using doping? On the day of his birth there were not just conditions for a successful person. There are also indications for a ‘die hard’

Ambition (Sun conjunct Saturn) and (sesquisquare Pluto) an almost frustrating will to win made him a 'die hard': someone who will be confronted with 'enemies' or pain (and we know that it is true). Perhaps the aspects with the Sun are also mirroring the image of his father, who was a boxing champion (used to be hurt) and who trained his son at the beginning.

VENUS IN GEMINI
When he started to win important games, his progressed Sun was conjunct Venus in Gemini, the sign of the arms and the hands. It seems that Brooke Shields had a stimulating role in becoming a professional, 15 years and 15 degrees ago. But in 1997 their relationship became troubled and that is when he started to use crystal methamphetamine, not for doping, but to feel better.

The difference between Patti Smith and Berti Vogts

I always use tight aspects. They make the difference, especially when the Ascendant, Midheaven or Moon is involved. When two people are born on the same day, the difference will be made by the positions of the Ascendant, Midheaven and Moon and by the change in rank in the list of tightest aspects.

On the 30st of December 1946 Berti Vogts (football player and trainer in Germany) and Patti Smith (rock singer, song writer) were , about 5 quarters of an hour after each other and with the Atlantic Ocean between them. Seek the differences in their charts:
Both have Uranus opposition ASC, but Patti Smith has a tighter opposition than Vogts has. Jupiter is the oriental planet in the chart of the man. Mercury (conjunct the ASC) is the oriental planet for Patti Smith. He is the international, she is the communicator and the rebel.

PATTI SMITH
Patti Smith has the pattern of talent in her chart. Neptune is conjunct the midheaven within 1,5 degree of orb. Venus is semi square Neptune and tightly trine Moon in Pisces.

Vogts has Neptune too far away from the Midheaven to be called 'conjunct'. He has Moon in Pisces, too, but the trine with Venus is a few degrees wider than it is in the chart of Patti Smit. Both have Sun connected with Saturn and Pluto by minor aspects (inconjunction and biquintile) but in the chart of Vogts the aspects are tighter.

The Midheaven of Patti is related to Mercury (quintile), Venus (semi square) and Neptune (conjunction). This expressed artistic talent used for a profession (Venus+Neptune) and creative communications.
The Midheaven of Berti Vogts is connected with Venus (semi quintile), Mars (binovile), Jupiter (semi sextile), Saturn (quintile) and Uranus (trine). That means that he has good insights (Jupiter and Uranus) and is a creative manager (quintile with Saturn) and that a certain passion (Venus+Mars) is involved in his career.

It is just a bit more than one hour and an ocean away, but the there is also a difference in their chars that starts unfolding itself in a picture created by constellations, positions and distances. The picture of of Patti is that of a person creatively communicating in a rebellious or controversial way, but always using her artistic talents. That of Vogts is that of a creative manager with a passion, a 'die hard' international who uses good insights in his career.

But there is something that they both have in their chart: Sun inconjunct Saturn for example. Vogts lost both his parents at age 12. Patti lost her husband, in 1994 and shortly later her brother. She was raised in a Jehovah's witnesses family (Neptune is often symbolizing religion, too).

It is clear (well, to me:) that tight aspects make a difference and that they make an important difference. But there is also, of course, the difference in gender, culture, class, nationality and genes that alter the perspective of the chart. Still, I think the differences in the charts of Smith and Vogts are appealing.

BTW Patti Smith is also known for her political actions (think of the Saturn-Pluto pattern). Click here to see the article on my site Astromarkt.

ASTROLOGY CHART OF DIEGO HYPOLITO AND THE SAD OLYMPICS

One of the stressful things about sports and games is that one has to succeed in THAT particular moment in time. That goes even more for the Olympics (a once in the 4 year opportunity)!
For all of the competitors it must be no fun to loose. Sometimes it is just dramatic. At those times heavy progressed aspects and transits show how the chance for gold or even bronze has been undermined.


What kind of bad luck did Diego Hypólito have today? His Olympics fell into the water when he fell during his performance.

Hypólito is born 19th June 1986, 22 years old and Brazilian. Early 2008, he got infected by Dengue fever, just like over 55.000 more Brazilians living in the region of Rio de Janeiro. In spite of that, he decided to compete in Peking, anyway. Maybe his physical conditions had been affected by dengue. That makes it even sorrier that he lost this way. Here you see the list of hard aspects valid for his chart right now:

His progressed Sun sesquisquare Saturn
His progressed Sun inconjunct progressed Uranus
Solar return Sun opposition Pluto
(and Solar return Mars inconjunct Uranus)
Transit Mars square Sun
Transit Pluto still opposition Sun
Transit Neptune semi sextile and inconjunct his Mercury, Mars and Jupiter

All these are difficult aspects. It is not uncommon for a top performer to have hard aspects when there is tension. But these above are frustrating AND the two inconjunctions point at a loss. Another bad sign is that there are barely pleasant transits or progression at the same time.

(BTW the actual Mars and Pluto were tightly square at the moment of his performance! There was a strong drive to win and the level of stress and adrenaline was high. Shortly later there was a winner.)

Hypólito's gymnastic skills are partly genetic. His sister is also a top gymnast. In his chart we see Mars tightly sextile and Mercury trine the oriental Jupiter for international successes and intelligence. His chart has a 'calling' Sun (for performance, leading or drawing attention).
These important planets (Mercury, Mars and Jupiter) were inconjunct and semi sextile transit Neptune today. The deception (Neptune) has affected the most important combination of aspects in his chart. And with that: his positive and active mental condition.

There may be much more to say about Hypólito, but I leave it with this impression of the sad day in his life as a sportsman. And I think that there is hope for him for a 'next time'. In 2012 he has progressed Sun sextile progressed Jupiter and natal Jupiter. Even if he does not do the Olympics in 2012, he will make progress in life.

THE PAINFULL MOMENT FOR KUHN Swiss coach views his team losing in the final moments

Here you see the chart drawing of the final moment of Switzerland-Turkye surrounded by the natal positions of Jacob Kuhn (trainer of the Swiss football team in the EC2008). What does it tell us?
- his Pluto square the moment (problem or challenge)
- his Saturn close to the Sun (a solar transits that points at depression or fear)
- Vulcanus (here he is again:), on the IC, for a public 'punishment' or 'slaughter'

And there are no good aspects at all...Very clear, is not it? And all of that while the position of Neptune high above the chart of the final moment would have been enough to visualise desillusion.

BIRTH CHART SCOTT MACARTNEY

Scott Macartney had his 30st birthday today but it was not his lucky day. In his natal chart the Sun is inconjunct Saturn and of course that nasty aspect is due to repeat itself on his birthday. Saturn is the symbol of falling. Watch the movie...he fell real hard and is seriously wounded. As we donot have his HOB we cannot see if his Ascendant was involved in any way and we can only observe. Let us hope for the best...These are the observations:

Apart from the Solar transit with Saturn, transit Pluto was active. Pluto was semi sextile his Sun and sextile Progressed Sun and trine the natal Saturn. That might be a life saving aspect, as Pluto is well aspected and implies surgery and survival. It is the combination for the 'die hard'. But any aspect coming from Pluto is a challenge and transforming your life somehow. Maybe the drive to win (Pluto) even without not feeling too well (Saturn) caused the fatal unbalance. The quincunx or inconjunction is btw the aspect of unbalance....The Sun AND Venus are his chart the Apex of a closed Yod with both Saturn and Jupiter, indicating the disadvantages of fortune and the help and support in case of a fall. Jupiter and Saturn were today trine to each other and both were in aspect with Mercury, in a positive way.

The prominent Uranus (sesqui square Aries Point) quintile the Apex Sun and Venus might refer to the item of freedom and independancy. Let us hope that his injuries allow him to survive and stay independant. Because sport is calling in his chart (Mars without major aspects in sign).
