Kentucky Derby's New 4-Legged Heart Throb

Saturday's Kentucky Derby brought together a really fine pack of ponies and the Winner of it all was Street Sense, a gorgeous Pisces like Smarty Jones. This year brought the largest crowd ever to the Kentucky Derby. I suppose that's something you'd expect for a Jupiter in Sagittarius year, especially with Pluto in the same sign. Next year with Jupiter & Pluto in Capricorn the race will probably be won by a Clydesdale.

Man, you know, I almost think this race was fixed in order to impress the Queen of England who was there to watch and also to distract from the tragedy of last year's winner Barbaro, bless his beautiful soul. It was just that unreal. If I were a Jockey in this race I don't know if I would have let Borel bring his horse through the ranks the way he did. But they all did. Both Horse and Jockey were Water Signs, so it really could have happened. I'll just have to pinch myself to make sure I'm awake. Water wins by seeping through the cracks and this is exactly what happened.

Street Sense
b. Feb. 23, 2004 Kentucky somewhere, I used Louisville.

Sun 5 Pisces; Moon probably in Aries; North Node 14 Taurus

Calvin Borel
b. Nov. 7, 1966 St. Martinsville, Louisiana

Sun 15 Scorpio; Moon probably in Virgo; North Node 17 Taurus

Notice the Nodes. Both Jockey and Horse share the same Taurus Node, 2 degrees separating. Street Sense has Mars c. NN trining Jupiter. Donkey's can just step aside, horsey's gotta run. Aries Moon is the Martian Moon, a competitive and forceful spirit.

Street Sense exemplifies the current Neptune-Uranus mutual reception as he has Sun in Pisces c. Uranus. Uranus-Neptune might be bad for humans as far as the killer atmospheric conditions of the weather report, but it does seem to fire up hurricanes in those horse bones. His Jupiter is at 16 Virgo, is squared by transiting Jupiter right now and is conjunct the SN and opposite the Mars-Uranus-NN. On Saturday (May 5), the transiting Sun and Mercury were conjunct both his and his Jockey's North Node in Taurus.

Borel's chart is highlighted by two stelliums. Sun-Venus-Neptune in Scorpio and Moon-Mars-Pluto-Uranus in Virgo which is opposite Saturn-Chiron in Pisces. Street Sense's Jupiter is conjunct the latter stellium and squared by the Jupiter transit (Horses, Competition, Luck).

If anyone really could win through strategy and stealth, Borel would be the guy to do it. While Street Sense's chart is balanced by element and modality, Borel's chart lacks Cardinal Signs and Air Signs. Cardinal Signs are starters and this is not Borel's way. He's called "Bo-Rail" for keeping in the back of the race, sticking to the rail, and then moving forward at the end. Not your typical winning strategy. He says that all he ever needed was the right horse to help him make it happen and he found it with his Pisces buddy. Jupiter and Pluto squaring his big opposition brought him Fame and Luck. T. Mars-Uranus-NN c. n. Chiron-Saturn brought speed and surprise to the slow spot (Saturn) in his chart.
