Astros Pitch Combined No-Hitter on Mercury Transit

Mercury, the pitcher’s planet, is very strong when in its natural sign of Gemini. The staff of the Houston Astros pitched a combined no-hitter against the Yankees as Mercury in Gemini made a tight conjunction the the Astros natal Descendant in Gemini and an exact square to their North Node in Virgo. Gemini and Virgo are the pitchers’ signs.

Since combined no-hitters involve multiple pitchers, they occur under transits that are favorable to the team’s birthchart rather than under transits that are benefic to the birthcharts of individual pitchers. This team effort included starter Christian Javier who pitched the first seven innings, Hector Neris who pitched the eighth inning, and Ryan Pressly who got the save.
