Thanks for posting the Grand National Chart PA, and reminding us that it is impending. I don't know much about any sport, but once a year I have been known to risk a pound at the bookies on this race. I will definitely take a look and come back later.

ooh I think that's a cadent Moon and not an angular one. Sounds like that will be a fun meeting at Bath.

I need to revise my rules on how to get this wrong according to traditional technique before making my prediction. (I like to be able to curse Bonatti as I tear up my losing ticket :) )

Putting any kind of traditinal theory to one side for a moment, my instincts are usually drawn to the most angular planet, or the aspect that is closest to perfection, as representing the theme that comes out in the event.

So here I am thinking that Saturn retrograde in the 1st, in the very last degree of Virgo, opp Uranus in the 7th, has got to be significant somehow.

Also, asc-ruler on the 9th cusp - a foreign entry, conjunct Venus - a filly?

Yes I agree on looking for the most dominant aspect... last year's chart had saturn opposing mars, 2/8 axis I think. *

2nd, 3rd and 4th all had names that suit that theme. And all are running this year...

I will try and post the 09 chart as well... where Mon Mome came from heaven knows!

* edit: actually across 1/7 axis

This 'name-picking' game is a lot of fun. At this stage I can't help being drawn to 'Comply or Die', picking out the 8th house Sun and the Moon-Pluto sextile that does a green pointy thing to Mars.

An early pick from Gocca! : ) That's great!
What about Backstage's colours.. do you think a little pale for pluto in cap?

I was looking at the yod (I thinks it's a green pointy thing lol) to mars in leo on the 12th.. and got the same horse.
