Barry Zito’s Astrology Explains his Fate

I have been following Zito’s astrology chart since 2001 when I was the sports astrologer on “Extra Innings” the A’s post game radio show with Robert Buan.
 
Here is what I see:
 
Timing is everything!  Zito is the poster child of how athletes get caught in long-term challenging planetary cycles.
The Giants signed him last year when he was at the beginning of the weakest decline of his physicality in his entire career.
He finished the season 11-13 4.53 ERA
 
Certain planetary alignments can create cycles of low physical vitality and low psychological energy, as well as feelings of discouragement, vulnerability and depression.
This dark night of the soul for Zito will continue throughout the entire 2008 season.
 
Demoting him to the bullpen will only make matters worse, during this period of confusion and uncertainty. Wherever you go there you are, as Zito’s confidence will take yet another big hit.
 
Zito himself mentions that he needs to be more “aggressive” and it’s not mechanics, his stuff, or velocity. (Energy is real, like your article on Kreepy Korner).
This too shall pass, but not before the season ends. Not unlike Ken Griffey’s decline, who finally got back on his feet a few seasons later, there’s no way out but through.
 
I also predicted Alex Smith being a huge disappointment when the 49ers signed him. Video link is on NBC 11 Sports Final with Raj Mathai.
Based on the same transit Smith was going thru (and I do not follow football as much as baseball) I made the same prediction.
Robb Nenn even retired when a similar planetary cycle occurred!

NY Mets Mike Pelfrey’s 2008 Astrology

New York Mets Michael Pelfrey’s Astrological Profile and 2008 Forecast

by Andrea Mallis, Sports Astrologer, mlb.com ?Checking the Signs? writer

With the 5th spot in the New York Mets pitching rotation in competition between El Duque and Mike Pelfrey, I’d like to cast my cosmic vote for earnest Capricorn, Mike Pelfrey. Born January 14, 1984 in Wichita, Kansas Mike is serious, disciplined, and quietly ambitious. Driven to prove himself, his work, position in the world, and contributions to society are very important. Capricorns like Mike will persevere through enormous hardship and frustration in order to reach a goal. Like their Mountain Goat archetype, slowly but surely they climb to the top. Capricorns have a thoughtful, quiet, and self-contained disposition, always seem to be in control, and are capable, efficient, and strong. Highly conscientious, even as a child Capricorn’s possess a maturity, soberness, and worldly wisdom.

Basically a pragmatic realist, Mike has an innate shrewdness and is detached and objective. Careful and conservative, he plays by the rules.

Subtle, understated, quiet, Mike’s a modest person and sometimes overly self-critical. Strong points are depth and thoroughness, patience, tenacity, and faithfulness. Challenges are a tendency to be rigid and inflexible, and too serious.

2008 is a huge year for Capricorn Mike. Jupiter, planet of good fortune and expansion, is in industrious Capricorn. This once every 12-year cycle ushers in a time of optimism and self-confidence. Mike feels like he can take on the world. His goals are within reach and success comes easily now. Having gained much wisdom from the past, he now has the opportunity to efficiently and effectively put his goals into action.

Recognition, approval and fame are forthcoming, as he triumphs in almost all undertakings.

Supported by a feeling of abundance, and strong willpower, he is lucky and favored now. With his less than stellar 2007 season of 3-8, 5.57 ERA behind him, timing is everything?this is Mike?s year! Disciplined and responsible Capricorn Mike said it best himself after a successful Grapefruit outing in the Mets first exhibition game,  "I?ve got to start pitching well, might as well start at the beginning." He also noted that he felt better, all good omens for the Mets and Mike?s season ahead.


Mercury Retrograde and Joe Torre’s fate

Greetings,

Mercury, the planet of communication is retrograde October 12-November 2, 2007. During this cycle, there are delays in communications and more misunderstandings than usual. Mercury also rules the mind, mental processes, and travel. While it’s a fruitful time to rethink and reassess, it’s not the best time to negotitate contracts.

Mars, planet of energy, assertion and aggression is in the sign of Cancer currently, firing up all Crabs. In an interesting cosmic coincidence, Joe Torre, Brain Cashman and George Steinbrenner are all born under the sign of Cancer, making them even more emotionally sensitive and cautious during this time.

As above, so below.
