Moderator’s note: I have received this unusual post from APA member Morris Bodnar. Its subject is not the development of the individual psyche, which is the normal context of astrological psychology, and was the focus of the researches of Bruno & Louise Huber. This post seeks to apply some aspects of the Huber approach, in conjunction with more traditional astrological techniques, to the forecasting the result of a baseball game. Of course, forecasting and fortune telling were anathema to the Hubers, but members may be interested in Morris’s approach.
This method that I have created works on any type of competition: soccer, football, hockey, baseball, boxing, wrestling, tennis, horse racing, even chess. Since yesterday the baseball season opened, I will use a baseball game event chart.
San Francisco Giants visit the home team Los Angeles. You look up a game preview and bookie odds on the internet. The Dodgers pitcher is the best in baseball, Kershaw and the Giants are starting an unknown rookie. The odds are 50 to 1 with Dodgers as favorites, so give them the 1st House and 10th of fame. The Underdog Giants get the 7th House, which will be their 1st House and the 4th House which will be their 10th of fame.
Use ancient rulers, so Dodgers 1st and 10th House ruler is Mercury while the Giants 1st and 10th ruler is Jupiter. The Moon rules Public Contests, so the Moon’s closest aspect determines the winner. Here the Moon sextiles Jupiter, the Giants 1st and 10th ruler, so we suspect that the underdog Giants will pull off an UPSET. But let’s look for further confirmation.
We see that the event chart has a TALENT TRIANGLE, Moon-Jupiter-Pluto. This Talent Triangle favors the Giants. The FOCUS POINT of this triangle is Jupiter in Scorpio. The Vertex reveals the winner and how the game will be won. Jupiter is the Giant’s ruler. Jupiter in the triangle joins Pluto and Jupiter-Pluto symbolism suggest a powerful event will determine the winner. In baseball, a powerful event is a HOMERUN. The game was won by a homerun.
The sign that Jupiter is in will determine the hero or the most valuable player of the game. Jupiter is in Scorpio and the player who won the game by hitting a homerun was a Scorpio. Final score, underdog Giants won 1-0. See the Huber structure chart below for further understanding of the technique.
Notice that the Dodger pitcher, indicated by Mercury in Aries receives no favorable aspects, thus he received no run support from his teammates. Merc is in combustion by the Sun. His Merc is in a SEARCHING TRIANGLE, indicating he is still “Searching” for his first win.
Thanks for this unusual and very interesting post, Morris! I recently listened to Lee Lehman (author of The Martial Art of Horary Astrology) on the Astrology Podcast http://theastrologypodcast.com/2017/07/13/horary-astrology-questions-with-lee-lehman/
Horary is a fascinating area of astrology, special in some unique ways. For example, as a student astrologer I see value in “working the techniques” and seeing immediate feedback with my chart interpretation. Lee discusses this extensively in the above podcast. Horary tells you, immediately, if you’re right or wrong with your chart analysis.
And while I’m not motivated my predictive astrology, I certainly couldn’t resist trying it out on a few hockey games. We’re in playoff season over here in Canada, after all. I’m aware that horary has a depth of practice which extends beyond the simple approaches above, however I followed your instructions and used Huber techniques when the waters became a bit muddy (my charts didn’t have a nice clean sextile from Moon to ancient ruler). I’m not a sports fan, but I am happy to report that the three games I cast, casted favourably. All teams that won were underdogs, too. It was a fun experience and I’m glad I don’t have an obvious gambling addiction as this could be dangerous!
Thanks again, Mark
