Sports do not really interest me for me personally say of the Winter Olympics is a true conversation-stopper. Nevertheless I do know that a great deal of individuals are sports fans, and if you are a keen skier or snowboarder that the Vancouver Winter Olympics could be intriguing.
When we put up a graph for this moment, it becomes fairly evident that astrologers were not consulted, which sounds odd. If you are having a huge event, such as the Winter Olympics, you would definitely want it to begin at a favourable moment.
What I especially do not like about this horoscope is the simple fact that it is just prior to a New Moon. Quite simply this Olympics is getting under way in the end of a lunar cycle. The power is stagnant, and the focus is about the past rather than the long run.
Additionally, the principle of the Ascendant is not well placed. To be specific, Virgo is rising, hence the Ascendant ruler is Mercury. And Mercury is creating a stressful, resistance aspect to Mars.
In the very least this indicates a difference of view, but it may also hint in the controversy surrounding the passing of Nodar Kumaritashvili, the luger.
It needs to be pointed out that Nodar Kumaritashvili's fatal accident happened prior to the opening service, and this opening service was devoted to his memory. We see a manifestation of the somewhat mournful symbolism of the dying stage of a lunar cycle.
So far as the biography of Nodar Kumaritashvili is concerned, it appears that he had been born November 25 1988, which makes him a Sagittarian.
Luging is a high-speed game, that as much as I can gather is like sledging down a steep hill. This is a really Sagittarian activity. In the end, Sagittarians have a fantastic sense of experience, and they frequently enjoy going really quickly in an outside atmosphere.
However what really stands out from Nodar Kumaritashvili's horoscope is that his Mars, at the fifth level of Aries. It was well positioned in Aries, particularly since it created a favourable element to his Sagittarius Sun.
On the afternoon of his passing, February 12, Mars had been at the fifth level of Leo, which makes easy-going facets to his natal Sun and Mars. His desire for activity, and rate, ran very easily. Really so easily that there was nothing to prevent it.
Yet that was not the entire story. This Saturn-Pluto facet triggered Kumaritashvili's Mars, also encouraged him to drive himself to the limit.
Something awful was likely to occur, and some other athlete whose horoscope tied in with this facet would automatically be exposed.
I believe that when Nodar Kumaritashvili had consulted an astrologer, he'd have been advised to not compete in those Olympics.
