NHL gambling investigation


The hockey world is in chaos today (especially up here in Canada) as news of charges laid in an illegal gambling ring sink in. Former player and now Phoenix Coyotes assistant coach Rick Tocchet is at the centre of the storm, but others have also been implicated including most notably Wayne Gretzky's wife, Janet. (Gretzky is currently head coach of Phoenix.) Read about it here.

Gretzky's horoscope is getting pummeled by the dual action of Saturn and Ketu (south node). Gretzky (Jan 26 1961 7.45 am EST Brantford, Canada) has Ascendant at 12 Capricorn (5 AQ trop) and Sun right there as well at 13 Capricorn (6 AQ trop). Malefic Ketu casts its trinal aspect exactly to both of these points, and Saturn is conjunct his 7th house cusp representing his wife.

It's worth remembering that Ketu is a bit of a chameleon and isn't always a problem, although it tends to have a disrupting influence. One has to consult dispositors, etc to get a handle on its energy. Here however, it is currently transiting Virgo, so Mercury's situation gives a clue. Yesterday when the charges were announced, Mercury ( 3AQ) was involved in a t-square with natal Uranus (1LE) and transit Mars (1TA).

With Saturn not yet finished with Wayne's 7th house cusp, it's clear that Mrs Gretzky's problems are very real and will not go away anytime soon. I'll venture a prediction on her fate after I can secure her birth data.
