Lev Yashin
Air takes five of his ten planets, with two apiece in fire and water and a single one in earth, and five of the ten sit in cardinal signs with only one fixed. The Sun, Mercury and Venus all sit in Libra, the sign worked out in relation to other people. The record calls Yashin the only goalkeeper to win the Ballon d'Or, credits him with about a hundred and fifty penalty saves, and says he was known as the Black Spider for the all black kit and the reach.
The Moon sits in quiet contact with Pluto at one hundredth of a degree, close enough to call exact, and the Moon's sign is certain here. The reading is emotional endurance: people who survive things and are strengthened rather than hollowed by them. In a record that counts penalty saves, that is the contact to keep, because a penalty is a situation the person facing it is expected to lose.
Mars sits in mild friction with Saturn at three tenths of a degree, drive meeting refusal: blocked energy, and effort that runs into obstruction repeatedly until it becomes either resentment or real competence. A keeper's trade is to be the obstruction rather than to meet it, so the aspect reads from the other side here than it usually does, and the competence half is the one the record argues for. Venus sits in quiet contact with Neptune at a third of a degree. Jupiter, Uranus and Pluto were the three retrograde planets.
He died at Moscow on 20 March 1990, at sixty. Uranus stood square its own natal degree at seven tenths of a degree that day, which is the halfway point of a Uranus cycle rather than a return, and square his natal Mercury at just over a degree, while Jupiter sat square his natal Venus at the same orb. The Moon was at its last quarter and forty two per cent lit, which is the phase that rethinks the whole premise rather than the details.
