The Tiger seems to be sleeping say the fans of greens and bunkers. Ah, but if they could all see the graphic progressed declination chart of the Great Cat, they would understand more about this feline that prowls the land of eighteen. When Tiger came into this world, he was blessed with a Mars that was at an extreme northern latitude, at just about 26 degrees. In declinational astrology, planets that are north or south of 23 degrees 26 minutes are considered to be out-of-bounds. The out-of-bounds marker for golfers and all others is the point at which the sun reaches it's greatest northern(summer at 0 degrees Cancer) and southern(winter at 0 degrees Capricorn) distance from the equator. The signs where planets can be found out-of-bounds are the signs on each side of the solstice points. Gemini and Cancer in northern signs and Sagittarius and Capricorn in southern signs. Northern placements of declination seem to indicate that an individual or team has more control over their own destiny, while southern declinations indicate a destiny-fulfilling role that often involves others. Tiger has a few more planets in southern declination than the north, but that Mars says a lot. It's interesting that Michael Jordan and Wayne Gretzky also have a northern out-of-bounds Mars. The out-of-bounds interpretation of a planet is that unusual talents symbolized by that planet can manifest through the individual in their lifetime. It's still free will as to how that talent energy is projected, but hopefully it is done for the good of all or within reason. Tiger began his professional golfing career in Milwaukee August 29, 1996. It's interesting that Jupiter was 23S23 forming an exact parallel with natal sun at 23S08. Natal Moon(20S33) was paralleled by Uranus(20S28) and Neptune(20S36) which would coincide with electricity and mystique to the nth degree. So why is the Tiger taking a catnap from the winner's circle this season? There have been a couple of wins early in the year but nothing since the Buick Open and the Match Play Championship. It's interesting that about one half of the wins Tiger has on the tour have come with at least one planet transiting out-of-bounds.{Tigers latest win on October 5 was a tournament that began with the Moon OB on the previous Thursday, Oct 2nd at 26 degrees south forming an electric contra-parallell!]We haven't had many out-of-bounds planets working this year which might explain something, but when you look at the path of the progressed Moon at this point in 2003, the progressed declination has earth's satellite at the southern-most point in the cycle for Tiger. It's sometimes equivalent to a cosmic timeout. Many people will experience major relationship developments an this point. Marriage, divorce, birth of children, or new alliances that will accompany the person for many years. I am not aware if Tiger is dating anyone or if he has any serious companion, but it wouldn't be out of character for the cosmos to perform some kind of relationship ceremony at this time. One of the things I have noticed in charts is that when the progressed Moon intersects the north node declination point(and sometimes even to the south node point), good things happen, such as Bobby Bonds hitting 73 home runs, Babe Ruth hitting the record 60 at the time in 1927 and even Mark McGwire setting the record for a couple of years before Barry exceeded that record. Teams can win championships too. In Tiger's case the Moon intersected formed a brief parallel in 2000, the year he won three of the four grand slam events. 2004 could be somewhat similar to this year but there will be another intersection in 2005. If Tiger is in the tournaments that year, he should be at or near the top most of the year. I would expect that if there are some out-of-bounds planets by declination transit, the rest of the men's tour is in big trouble because the tiger will be finished with his nap.
