The Diamondbacks and the
Rays
“The game of baseball has now
become beyond question the leading feature of the outdoor sports of the United
States...It is a game which is peculiarly suited to the American temperament and
disposition; ...in short, the pastime suits the people, and the people suit the
pastime.”—-Charles A. Peverelly, 1866
Ah, but I can hear skeptics saying that many other expansion major league teams also had their first games while the sun was in Aries, including the Tampa Bay Devil Rays who played their first game on the same day as the Snakes of the Sonora. The difference is the ascendant or the rising sign on the eastern horizon point at the birth of a person, and yes, even a business or team. Tampa Bay started out with the sign Virgo as their ascendant. One of the Virgo traits that can surface negatively is a lack of self esteem and being overly self-critical. If you have followed the ownership moves of the Devil Rays since their inception, then you know what a mess they were until the year they changed their name by dropping the Devil...probably into Tampa Bay itself. Interesting that the year they changed their name they won their division and the American League pennant! The bottom line as they got a new chart and all the different vibrations that go along with it. (It's amazing what you can do when you chase the"Devil" out of your world!)

How to read the charts: The transiting planets and nodes are located on the left and once in the graph body while the natal placements can be viewed on the right. The natal declination points are represented by dotted lines, the transits by solid lines. The moon makes a complete cycle and a little over each month. It starts off the month being out-of-bounds in the south and then moves to out-of bounds the 13th-19th in the north and then back to OB the 26th. Out-of-bounds means when the Moon or other planet exceeds 23 degrees 26 minutes in the north or south.
