<\/span><\/p>\nWhen I first wrote about Tiger Woods\u2019 little accident outside his house, there was already a hint of impropriety, but who could have imagined the extent to which this drama has unfolded. \u00a0As of today there are a total of 13 mistresses that have claimed to have been involved with Tiger Woods. \u00a0As if that weren\u2019t bad enough, his wife has purchased a home in her native Sweden, the local child welfare office paid the Woods\u2019 home a visit, and he has been dropped by several of his lucrative endorsement deals.<\/div>\n
And the story, as everyone now knows, goes way beyond infidelity. \u00a0Lurid tales of three-ways fueled by Ambien cocktails, orgies with prostitutes, and a multitude of Barbie-like mistresses will probably never cease haunting Tiger Woods. \u00a0And if that weren\u2019t bad enough, Al Sharpton has blasted Woods for his \u201clack of diversity\u201d in his dalliances and relationships.\u00a0 And yesterday Woods announced that he was taking an indefinite leave from golf to attend to his family.<\/div>\n
These affairs are, for the most part, not one-night stands or midnight hookups \u2013 they are long-time relationships. \u00a0Some of them began before Wood\u2019s marriage to Elin Nordgren, and the publicized text messages make it apparent that Woods is a man who is hungry for more than sex \u2013 he is hungry for an intensity that his public image does not allow for.<\/div>\n
Woods has the Sun in Capricorn, the sign of achievement and success. \u00a0He was a prodigy and began his career at the age of two. \u00a0 His Sun is squared by Jupiter, bestowing a kingly good fortune upon him but also suggesting that he will be undone by hubris, the sin of pride against the gods. \u00a0Like Icarus who flew too close to the Sun, Woods was given a tremendous number of gifts and squandered them.<\/div>\n
That Sun is also squared by Pluto, planet of death and transformation. \u00a0Individuals with the Sun in aspect to Pluto (Michael Jackson is another recent example) are born with a karmic need to learn how to balance power and intensity in their own lives. \u00a0The Sun\/Jupiter\/Pluto combination is a powerful one that offers great gifts, but exacts great tribute as well. \u00a0The Sun\/Pluto individual is very aware thathis life is not like the lives of others; that there is tremendous significance and the potential for great self-destruction. \u00a0Any time there is a strong Pluto component in the chart there is also a fascination with the underworld of emotion and human existence, including sexuality in its most raw form.<\/div>\n
Intensifying this dramatic fire of sexuality is the fact that Venus, the planet that drives the way we relate to others, is in the sign of Scorpio in Woods\u2019s chart. \u00a0Scorpio\u2019s rulers are Pluto and Mars, and the combination of the explosive intensity of Pluto with the drive and desire of Mars is an intense cocktail for any psyche.<\/div>\n
