Okay, so there is no Triple Crown this year---but that doesn't mean there won't be any excitement. You'll notice in my picks up there, that Oxbow and Orb don't show up anywhere. That's cause with today's stars throwin' down some confusing cosmic rays that involve so many clusters of planets--that I'm almost certain none of these horses have the win in the bag. So I'm going to do what I always do and let the planets do the picking.
Today Stars for the Race
- Mars Square Neptune with Saturn Trine
- Moon conjunct Jupiter and the Sun (New Moon)
- Mercury/Venus Conjunction opposes Pluto while Venus and Saturn trine, and Mercury squares Uranus
If if weren't for the last aspect involving Mercury--I would easily pick one of the two O named horses to take first place---but Orb and Oxbow are running this race under a New Moon that is actually occurring while I write this content at 10:59 am. New Moons always bring about something new---I'm not saying that one of the horses running in the Derby or Preakness can't take this, just saying that it throws its weight (and luck) over to some one who is of family, home to the track, and who may have more than one horse in the race---cause the conjunction in occurring in Gemini, that's family, that neighborhood, that's more than one horse.
This Moon conjuncts Jupiter worries me, cause its tight, and its angled---so that sort of makes me want to favor that Filly running, Unlimited Budget. This aspect tells me she gets a real good chance to show up here today--I wouldn't exclude her.
Also, since I pick my horses by their names, after I analyze their past behavior, I align them under catagories of aspects. See below
But what has me so dang puzzled in choosing for this race is that Mars is the ruler of the hour for post time --that's muscle and strength, and when Mars tightly aligns with Saturn at 5 degrees --that's stanima. But Mars is also square to Neptune at 5 degree Pisces ---that's Mystery. Mars is 6 degrees of Gemini the sign of communication so this thought, on this particular aspects leads me to conjure up images of INCOGNITO a sure and steady choice for today.
Then I look a little further and notice, INCOGNITO is horse number 6, going head to head with ORB, horse number 5, and if I really want to get spooky and see that OXBOW is horse number 7 the same number that the ancients stargazers assigned to the planet Neptune--for which, as I already mentioned are all tightly aspecting---makes me think maybe it will be all three of these amazing animals dukin' it out at the finish line. Or just in the lead right out the gate and around the first and second turn, before the Moon kicks in.
But let's talk about Golden Soul---well, that name I apply to the Mercury/Pluto opposition--which is not as strong as the other planetary alignments for this hour, but heck I hate to not give this horse a thought when I know that Pluto rules the soul, and that planet Mercury never travels that far away from the 'golden' rays of the Sun. This horse could surprise us.
Lastly, as I write this I try to keep on track with my hopes for INCOGNITO, the long shot ---but for some reason I keep hearing a whisper to the tune of PALACE MALICE, PALACE MALICE, PALACE MALICE. This horse name is perfectly fitting to both the Moon Jupiter aspect and the Mars Neptune Saturn aspect---so I'm wondering if my muses are informing me of something wonderful, or if they are just messing with me---cause that's how they roll sometimes.
Oh I just thought of something else---OVERANALYZE---as the winner today, would make the Triple Crown look like this ORB OXBOW OVERANALYZE ---so I'm thinkin' that New Moon today could help up just see a new O name, and not a repeat winner. Just some food for your thoughts.
Hope you have a great day at the races, and bet within your means.
