Grand National 2016

Venus is in Aries angular in the Seventh house. A woman in a man's world. The only woman in the race is Katie Walsh, a highly competent rider of more than one contest at Cheltenham. She is riding Ballycasey wearing pink with green spots. Mercury ruling the press in a mundane chart is in Taurus thus deposited by Venus. Is this who they are going to be writing about at the end of the race?

Although there are too many runners to look at them all, I have looked at the race transits to a few of the horses' natal charts. Wonderful Charm stands out again:

Race Venus trine natal Mars.
Race Moon conjunct natal Venus (what we might call the horse's 'name' planet).
Race Sun-Uranus conjunction square (2 degrees) natal Jupiter.

We will see.

Oh dear, the anti. of POF is sextile Mercury in the 8th house.

Whatever that means... Thumbs up
No new glue factory deliveries?

Grats, PA! - We DO live in a plutocratic world after all!

The Grand National Board of Astrologers pushed back the start time so that the Sun was out of the 8th house.
If it's not astronomically true, it's not astrologically true.

Yes, in Campanus, sun just manged to stay in 7th by a few seconds.
15 out of 38 horses finished the race, which is about average and no injuries.

4 horses died in other races though - 2 x 16:05 on both Thurs and Fri.
Campanus Sun in 8th and 5th cusp at critical degrees.

I'm looking at the chart for a (very) young jockey to win. I wonder if Uranus cazimi Sun is the "surprise"? He went on to win the race immediately after as well!
