Preface
This is not an encyclopedia on all sports. My
original goal as I started collecting the timed birth data
of professional players in 1973 was to simply find out if
there were any significant differences in the horoscopes
of professional football, basketball, hockey and baseball
players. Those analyses led me to discover the signature
of a basketball player and find repetitive placements of
planets in certain areas of the horoscope which
distinguished the various football player positions from
one another.
When I considered the study of golf and tennis
players, my teacher, Marion D. March, pointed out that
athletes in these sports were too insecure to be a team
player and had a drive to be number one in their own
field. So I decided to stick with team sports.
In 1990, I started collecting data for the birth of the
various team sports. I began with the National
Basketball Association (NBA) then moved to the National
Football League (NFL). By early 2000, I had complete
data on the teams in the National Hockey League (NHL)
and Major League Baseball (MLB). Along the way, I
collected dates on the now defunct American Basketball
League (ABL), the Women’s National Basketball
Association (WNBA) and the Major League Soccer (MLS)
teams.
Within two weeks of completing my search for data
on the pro football teams (August 1993), I was asked to
viii
try to predict the outcome of the games on GEnie using
this data. This predated AOL and the internet. I did not
have a clue what to do with the game chart at that time
and only used good old fashioned astrology rules to
analyze the team’s and quarterback’s energy against the
game chart. I used synastry and compared the planet
placements of game charts to team and quarterback
charts and picked game winners straight up. After eight
weeks of analysis, my picks were 80% correct against
the Vegas point spread. The Vegas average is 55%.
There are no absolutes in anyone's system, that's
why we play games. On any given day, a person’s
strength is indicated by where the position of planets in
the sky make contacts to the person’s natal chart. I
name the probable winners regardless of which teams
play or where the planets are, just like the commentators
do on “Inside the NFL.” Even when dealing with our
favorite sport or team, I’ve learned that we still need to
understand how the game is played in the sport at hand.
Then we can apply astrological information as an added
source of information. The rules and information given
in this book distinguish what I have found to work and
not work in different sports. This information is a great
inside edge in determining when the underdog is favored
or there is going to be a day of upsets to the point spread
or when the favorites are most likely to end up on top.
The sport featured in this book is professional
football, including the birth of the NFL teams, the WNBA,
and some March Madness. Future series will include the
Super Bowls, and other major pro-sports organizations:
NBA, NHL, MLB, MLS, plus The Sport of Kings - Horse
Racing.
Hopefully, my discoveries will add extra
excitement to your involvement with any or all of the
referenced sporting events.

Chapter One
Astrology,
All About Energy & Timing
Natal Chart
In natal astrology, a chart is constructed to show
the horoscope (hour of the chart) of an individual. The
day, month, year, time of birth, city, state, country are
needed to erect such a chart. The analysis of a horoscope
includes identifying psychological behavior patterns as
well as the potential of how that person might evolve
through a lifetime.
The planets are the actual drama in one's life acted
out through a specific zodiac sign where they are located.
Zodiac signs indicate basic attitudes and needs an
individual uses to reach his/her goals and dreams in life.
Where the planets are located in the divisions of the natal
chart (called houses) tells areas of life where experiences
develop and where energy is accelerated to expand those
areas of life. How a people perceive and relate to their
parents ties in with how in later life they adapt to
authority figures such as bosses. How a male or female
gets along with his/her father or mother later contributes
to patterns of energy found in relationships, marriage,
and work.

location of any two planets in the 360-degree circle. In
Chapter Two there is a conversion chart that is easy to
use.
You can take any two planets, convert their
placement degrees using the conversion chart, add these
numbers together and divide by two and then convert
that number back to the astrology degree (the midpoint
degree). If you have a computer with an astrology
program on it, you can simply have the computer print
out the midpoint listing, locate the proper midpoint pairs
and write the zodiac sign degree and minutes of the loss
point.
The three Loss Points Joyce referred to are the
midpoints of Mars/Saturn, Mars/Neptune, and
Saturn/Neptune. The theory holds that if you have natal
planets that fit into the Loss Points of an establishment
where you are playing, you win their money. If the birth
chart of the casino or track has natal planets on your
natal Loss Points, you’re likely to lose your money.
Remember, this is theory; it may or may not work for
you. I do feel that there are towns, casinos and race
tracks with which you feel more comfortable working.
The birth charts of all the Vegas casinos are not part of
this book. My friend, Joann Farnam has researched the
casinos but I have not yet convinced her to publish the
data.
It’s wise to look at the history of contests between
any two given teams regardless of the sport. If a team
record is 56-22-2, there definitely is one team chart
stronger than the other team chart even before the game
begins. The loss points could have merit here or Team 1
could have Neptune near the same degree as Team 2’s
Sun thus depleting Team 2’s ability to play their best in
any contest with Team 1.

Your Natal Chart
To best benefit from this book when risking your
money, you must also become familiar with your birth
chart. You don't have to know everything about your
chart.
You can bet on anything you like, but your chances
of winning the bigger money at certain specific times is
when you are “On The Wheel” as Joyce Wehrman stated
in her book Winning! This book will help you figure these
precise winning times.

Mathematics of the Wheel
The horoscope is made of a 360-degree circle
divided into twelve areas called houses. The longitude and
latitude of the location of the birth chart mathematically
figures the division of these twelve areas with dividing
lines called house cusps. Of the 17 plus available house
division systems, the Koch house systems has proven
more accurate in timing betting charts so Koch is used for
the charts in this book. The time and date of birth
mathematically produce the positions of the planets and
the house divisions. The 360-degree wheel is not divided
equally into the signs because each wheel varies
according to longitude and latitude where an event
happens.
Each zodiac sign is divided equally from the 360degree circle.
Each sign of the zodiac contains 30
degrees. The degrees are very important to note when
planets are making contacts in the 360-degree circle. The
degrees are noted from 0-29 not 1-30 as would seem
logical. After a planet reaches 29 degree 59 minutes it
passes to 00 degrees 00 minutes of the next zodiac sign.
In detailed analysis of the Game Chart (Chapter 2)
each zodiac sign is noted as how to understand what you
are seeing in terms of the 360-degree circle.
The charts used in this book are created from
CWSport, an astrology sports program that includes data
on the NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB, MLS, WNBA, as
programmed by Mark Pottenger.
In addition to
producing a chart wheel, this format lists the planets on a
scale covering 0-29 degrees. Scale makes it easy to see
what planets are active NOW in comparison to your own
chart degrees.

Chart Wheel Aspects – (PLANET ASPECTS)
A circle contains 360 degrees. If you divide a circle in
half, you have two 180-degree segments. The opposition
(S) refers to two planets located directly about 180
degrees from each other in the chart wheel.
If you divide a circle by four, you have four 90-degree
sections. The square (D) refers to two planets, which are
90 degrees from each other in the chart wheel.
The conjunction (A) describes the placement of two
planets together, side-by-side near the same degree in the
chart.
The above three relationships of the planet
placements indicate strong, competitive, and intensive
strength during the game. The strongest energy is the
square (D), next the conjunction (A), and last the
opposition (S). We will look to see which team and which
quarterback will have any of these hard planetary
interactions during the game.

The most squares (D) in the comparison of team and
quarterback charts show who has the competitive edge
for the day. The above “hard” interactions of energy
(especially the squares) generally produce the winner of
the game. They propel the teams and quarterbacks to be
sharper for that specific game.
Let's interpret these energies in another way. Two
people have different and conflicting views and must
resolve the issues at hand today whether they want to or
not. They verbally or physically fight it out or negotiate
until the issue is settled. The square (D) urges us to take
action and handle the crisis.
Two people sit down to talk. Both views must be
heard, whether the people agree or disagree. What does
count is being forced to hear what the other person's
viewpoint is on the issue being discussed. Once the viewpoints are expressed, one or both of the people will react
to what’s been said. The opposition (S) urges you to react
to what another is doing or saying.
An American orthopedic surgeon sits near a Chinese
pediatrician at a football game. They speak two different
languages but each understands what is going on the field
of play. Their body language is saying the same thing
while in their respective native language they are yelling
at a team for its scores or fumbles. All of a sudden, a man
sitting in front of them has a heart attack. While waiting
for emergency personnel to arrive, both men, without a
word, start CPR to help the stricken man.
The
conjunction (A) forces you to work together regardless of
your differences. It doesn't matter if you like each other
or know each other, you simply do what is necessary to
get the job done.

The 150-degree interaction indicates one situation
that demands ADJUSTMENTS, ADJUSTMENTS,
ADJUSTMENTS - The inconjunct (V) shows this
adjustment aspect between planets. When comparing the
team chart with the game chart and seeing two planets
about 150 degrees apart, know the team will have to make
major adjustments during the game. A key player such as
the quarterback, receiver, or key defensive player may get
hurt, and the team will have to rely on back up players to
fill in for the injured starter.
The next analysis is about the easy interactions some
planets have during the game.
This shows possible
benefit from being at the right place at the right time.
Without the hard competitive interactions mentioned
earlier, these easy interactions are meaningless to the
game or its outcome.
Divide a circle by six and you get six 60-degree
sections. The sextile (G) refers to two planets 60 degrees
apart. This interaction of the planets shows opportunities
to make good plays during the game.
Divide a circle by three and you have three 120degree sections. The trine (F) refers to two planets 120
degrees apart. This interaction of the planets indicates a
flowing energy where one thing after another seems to
just fall into place. The above interaction gives a team
ease in accomplishing their game plan but without the
hard competitive interaction of squares, the team may not
have the necessary strength and determination to win the
game.
Presenting this another way, two men think about
buying a lotto ticket. One man buys a ticket, the other
man does not. Both have the opportunity to win but only
one man bought the ticket. The opportunity is only
converted to a benefit or advantage if you make use of the
10
situation. The sextile (G) provides opportunities to take
risk and win.
A man is out looking for a job. He stops at a remote
restaurant for lunch before proceeding to his
appointment in the afternoon. While having lunch, a
college friend whom he has not seen in ten years enters
the restaurant. They see each other and start talking. His
friend just happens to be personnel director of a company
and discusses a job opening matching exactly what the
first man is looking for. The trine (F) represents the
energy of being at the right place at the right time.
Summary of Chart Wheel Aspects
The signs, planets, houses, aspects, and game
analysis are basically the same in all sports.
11
There’s one major exception: inconjuncts (150degree aspects) are beneficial in basketball. Two 150degree aspects linked by a 60-degree aspect (a Yod) is the
signature of the basketball players and fits the nature of
their game. The same may be true in hockey and soccer
but has not been researched thoroughly yet. The Yod is
definitely not ok in football! It always signifies major
adjustment(s) that the team may not be able to make.
Usually the need for adjustment arises from an injury to a
quarterback, running back, tight end, or wide receiver
that the team is unprepared for. In baseball, a Yod for the
pitcher means he is not likely to be as sharp in this game.
