Tiger Woods - Another Philandering Husband

Am I the only one who is sick of hearing about cheating husbands and their long suffering wives? Tiger Woods, the wholesome icon of the golfing world is the latest in a string of prominent, wealthy men to be exposed. With Tiger, as the mistress count grows higher, I notice a tendency in the faux news shows, on the internet and in the newspapers to shift the attention from the cheating husband to the mistress. Like shifting the focus from the bright shining hero of the fairway to the dirty, nasty women who would dare to sully his pristine nature will somehow mitigate the fact that Tiger cheated on his wife multiple times and appears to be the type that will screw anything that walks. I haven’t heard anywhere that any of these women were married or involved in a committed relationship during their affair with Tiger Woods. So they are not betraying anyone other than themselves. Another thing I have noticed, when the topic of Tiger Woods’ extramarital affairs (or any other of the long string of philandering husbands) comes up, men give the morals of it all lip service, making all the proper noise, but they don’t really care and secretly admire the guy. Way to go, Tiger! If you read a column or opinion piece about it, you can pretty much tell whether the author was male or female, you don’t need to read the byline. It’s like it is expected for rich guys to screw around on their wives and its ok. It keeps the fantasy alive that the beautiful babes of the world really do find the Letterman’s and Spitzer’s of this world attractive and their money and position have absolutely nothing to do with it. This fantasy spills over into everyday life; ask any college age girl who gets hit on by the middle aged, paunchy guy at the end of the bar. The guy really thinks he’s got a chance and the girl begins to understand that sexism is very subtle, pervasive and takes many forms. People did not realize how rampant sexism was during Hilary Clinton’s Presidential campaign until Sarah Palin came along and cried sexism when there was none. Sarah Palin is a perfect example of the perverse ways of sexism in that, if she wasn’t a babe, would the media pay any attention to her? Say she looked like Olympia Snowe. Enough said. Back to Tiger, this little tempest has been brewing for some time. The great Saturn/Uranus opposition that has played such havoc in politics, the economy and the general state of the world has been moving back and forth across his ascendant/descendant axis, the mine and thine, the me and you, the I and the other. Uranus on his descendant, or cusp of the 7th house of relationship, is a classic set up for divorce or disruption of a relationship. Saturn on the ascendant, or cusp of the 1st house of self, signals the time when “you reap what you sow”. And can also signal changes in how you relate to others. This is just the beginning for him with Saturn traveling through the first, gearing up to hit his natal Pluto and oppose his natal Jupiter. Big changes, big law suits, and probably a nice settlement for the wife. Early February 2010 may deliver some more shocking news while mid December 2010 brings legal aspects to the fore. This is just a prelude to 2012 when transiting Pluto hits his Capricorn Sun. Pluto is going to take him down to the depths and what emerges on the other side will be a new and better Tiger.
