Reflections on Game Two

In Game Two, the Dodgers pitching received a very favorable aspect from Mercury as 20 degrees Scorpio formed an exact trine to their natal Mercury of 20 degrees Pisces. Mercury rules pitchers, and Dodgers pitcher Yushinobu Yamamoto held the Yankees to one hit in 6 1/3 innings. Meanwhile, the Moon at 4 degrees Virgo, made a difficult square aspect to the Yankees natal Mercury of 5 degrees Sagittarius. Yankees starter Carlos Rodon gave up 3 home runs in 3 1/ 3 innings and would take the loss.

Mercury at 20 Scorpio did make a favorable conjunction to the Yankees Sun of 20 Scorpio. The Sun rules right fielders and Yankees right fielder Juan Soto would bat 2 for 4 including a home run.  

Dodgers DH Shohei Ohtani would become hurt at 7:32 pm while an Ascendant of 2 gemini was conjunct his Mars of 1 Gemini. Gemini rules hands and arms. The injury turned out to a sublaxation of his shoulder, rather than damage to his arms and hands as was initially reported. Shoulders are ruled by Venus and the sign Taurus. A noon chart for Ohtani’s birthchart has his Moon in the 29th degree of Taurus and conjunct to his Mars. A Taurus Moon would be consistent with such a shoulder injury and the emotional pain he showed upon becoming hurt.

In Game Two, Ohtani also experienced excessive aspects to his natal Jupiter. The Sun in Scorpio was conjunct to his Jupiter in Scorpio, while the Moon in Virgo was sextile his Jupiter. These are seemingly favorable aspects. But perhaps they led him over extend himself when attempting to steal the base. Jupiter brings a lack of caution as one proceeds beyond regular limits.
