Sponsors have moved quickly to distance themselves
from Maria Sharapova after the five-time Grand Slam tennis champion admitted
failing a drug test. Nike has suspended its relationship, while Tag Heuer has
cut its ties. Nike said it was "saddened and surprised" at her
admission that she tested positive for a banned substance at the Australian
Open in January. Ms Sharapova said she had been taking meldonium since 2006, on
the advice of her family doctor. She is one of the highest paid female athletes
with earnings of over $30m last year from winnings and endorsements. In
addition to the moves from Nike and Swiss watchmaker Tag Heuer, German carmaker
Porsche said it was "postponing planned activities" with Ms Sharapova
until the situation became clearer. http://www.bbc.com/news/business-35751916
A chart
for the solar eclipse of March 8 drawn for Los Angeles where Saharpova gave her
press conference will help explain the event. Notice that the eclipse along
with its accompany Jupiter-Neptune-Saturn T-square is placed significantly on
the angles. Ebertin interprets the combination as below:
Jupiter-Neptune-Saturn: the feeling of being abandoned
by one’s luck; the experiencing of consequences issuing from plans which come
to nothin; disappointments, losses.
Here Saturn[16sa]
is conjunct the asteroid Aesculapia [16sa] and the star alpha (α) Hercules, Ras
Algethi [16sa]. Aesculapia is connected
to physicians and by association drugs and medicines. A Latin epithet for
Hercules was saltator, “leaper” and
was associated with dancers, acrobats and sports champions. Diana Rosenberg
points out that some “lacking moderation, may go for broke risking health and
reputation in their headlong passion to win”.
