Whodunit | Shohei Ohtani


Shohei Ohtani, pitcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers, is in the media spotlight. Makes numeric sense because it's a sports year and a year that 8 is in the spotlight.


In his Personal Year 19/1 and Second Pinnacle 28/1, he experienced a truly momentous occasion.


On December 11, 2023, Ohtani signed a 10-year, $700 million contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers, the largest contract in professional sports history.


Japanese Ohtani relies on his personal interpreter, Ippei Mizuhara, to communicate with the media due to his limited English skills. Mizuhara, who was born on December 31, 1984, translates his native Japanese into English and vice versa.


Born July 5, 1994, Ohtani is a Life Number 8 and 5-born and 2024 is his Personal Year 2.  


In March 2024, his Personal Month 5, an ESPN investigation, uncovered $4.5 million in wire payments from Ohtani's bank account to a Southern California bookmaking operation under federal investigation. Ohtani's spokesperson initially told ESPN that Ohtani himself transferred the funds to cover Mizuhara's sports gambling debts, and Mizuhara on the evening of March 19, Mizuhara told ESPN in a 90-minute interview that he had asked Ohtani to repay the debts. 


A spokesperson for Burke, Williams & Sorensen, the law firm representing Ohtani, stated that Ohtani was a victim of "massive theft" and that the matter had been referred to the authorities.


First and foremost, this can be a karmic year for folks with a Major 8. Interestingly, once again, fate and destiny numbers 4 and 8 make an appearance, which often signifies losses, bad luck, or something potentially life-altering or fatal.


Ohtani starts his life in First Pinnacle 12/3, and as a 5-born Pythagorean Destiny 5 and Persona 5, he is inclined to gamble, but that doesn't necessarily mean he will. But, he is apt to ignore defined boundaries and limits and overconfidently take risks. Ohtani is currently in the 2nd year of his Second Pinnacle 28/1 and Productive Year 5.


Ohtani and Mizuhara are both under criminal investigation.


Mizuhara was fired in the 6th year of his Second Pinnacle 26/8 and Productive Year 31/4. During his Productive Year 4, spanning twenty-seven years, his ambitious maneuvering and competitive drive can lead to conflicts and struggles.


Ohtani has a lifelong Challenge 2, which means he's a trusting soul and, therefore, easily taken advantage of. Furthermore, the numbers suggest that he doesn't like to upset the status quo. On top of everything else, he's experiencing his First Saturn Return, one of the most critical times in his life.


Is his 'Challenge' his Saturn Return lesson? This is a Karmic period for him about making the right choices, self-examination, and pressures that force a change of attitude. Additionally, as a Life Number 8, Ohtani needs to exercise good judgment; otherwise, many of his issues may arise from trusting the wrong people.
