I am trying not to feel the pressure… as that is what interferes… The struggle to keep the ego and the greed out of it is always the challenge. It is just a game and another research chart.
...
’It is just a game and another research chart’… this must be my mantra… as I put my ‘game face’ of impartiality on… and get down to some serious in depth football prognosticating… The Colts, or the Saints?
The charts of the playoffs and the Super Bowl games somehow always seem to have contradictory aspects favoring both sides. But then… that is yet another truth (for me) of the science of astrology… it’s not meant to be easy… these two teams are the best of the best this season… and the charts indicate that. The Super Bowl is never a clear cut and easy read…
I’ve gotten the past two Super Bowl predictions correct and won my $5 wagers… now can I do the hat trick and get a third one? We shall see… I never seem completely satisfied with my theories… so again, I’m taking a new track this year. Of course it is always a combined team effort. However, this year I’m going to base my prediction on the transits made to the natal charts of the starting quarterbacks… Peyton Manning of the Indianapolis Colts… and Drew Brees of the New Orleans Saints.
They both have tremendously powerful charts… ergo, they’re both great quarterbacks and potential candidates for the Football Hall of Fame on their passing records.
Let’s look at Peyton’s chart first. There is the grand trine of Mars, to Uranus, to Venus… Strong, good strategist, and an artist with passing the football. The power is in the ‘T-bars’… and he has two of them that serve him well… the opposition between Moon (emotions) and Saturn (method, stability) is squared by Jupiter (expansion, exuberance) gives a stable calm judgement… as the opposing and squared forces balance out… giving him that calm perseverance he has demonstrated so often as they actually have had the ball less time than the opposition, yet somehow they score when necessary and win… 14 -2 this season.
His power is in the ‘T-Bar’ of Sun opposition to Pluto and both squared by Mars… and football is the ideal outlet for this powerful aspect of the ‘power planets’ thus aligned. Many professional athletes have these kinds of power aspects between Mars and Pluto… and when also aligned with the Sun, it’s simply part of their nature to be physically active… the energy has to go somewhere.
The potential violence and obstacles represented by these squares and oppositions are simply the game of football… 22 players knocking one another down for an hour of playing time… and the obstacles of 11 players trying to stop the other 11 players from moving the ball to their goal… a couple of quick and predatory 200+ pound linebackers and nine other big fellows chasing you can be somewhat of an obstacle… Really an amazing and powerful chart… and that’s Peyton… an amazing quarterback.

On game day… transiting Saturn is at 4 degrees of Libra and in opposition to his natal Sun at 4 degrees of Aries… Saturn is an inhibiting influence… and here it sits on the Pluto side of his Sun, Mars, Pluto ‘T-Bar’ power aspect… I’m feeling this may drain his energy down somewhat that day… However, transiting Pluto is at 4 degrees of Capricorn… thus energizing the ‘T-Bar’ …now the question is, which way will this powerful energy go? …the transit turns into now a ‘Grand Cross’ as Pluto opposes (two oppositions square to each other) his natal Mars. This crossed vibration could make a very frustrating day for Peyton… and very possibly… an injury with transiting Pluto opposing to natal Mars…
While these are harsh aspects… what would be a likely debilitating injury to me or you from being sacked hard by a blitzing Saint’s Linebacker and maybe a couple other big fellows… is simply another hit in the game for him… and Peyton gets back up and trots to the huddle… to plan another strategy… That’s almost the entire essence of his chart… Peyton uses the talents of his natural Grand Trine in meeting and over coming obstacles… which is what makes him a great football player. Even on a bad day… he can… and has won. The question is… will the Grand Cross be energizing or draining? And whichever… will it be… in the 1st half… or the 2nd half… or both?
Now let’s look at the game transits and how they activate Drew’s natal chart. The first thing to note… He has the same three power planets of Sun, Mars, and Pluto in a slightly different arrangement than Peyton. Drew has Sun conjunct Mars and then both square to Pluto… another powerful player whose nature is to overcome obstacles. A Trine between Mercury and Saturn… good strategist, a Trine from Venus to Jupiter, good luck, and a Trine from Moon to Neptune, an emotional almost spiritual enjoyment of the game… which is three trines and thus equal to Peyton’s Grand Trine formation… and an equally great quarterback… and again confirmation, here they are facing each other in the Super Bowl.
Like I said, these charts of championship games are the best versus the best and the most difficult… but challenging and fun to evaluate …and once in awhile …the planets drop a clue here and there …and I really like this one!
The game day transits have Pluto (power) at 4 degrees of Capricorn and is sextile (60 degrees) to Jupiter (luck) at 4 degrees of Pisces… then both Pluto and Jupiter are Inconjunct (150 degrees) to transiting Mars at 6 degrees of Leo, which is within the 2 degree orb allowance for the powerful destiny formation called the ‘Yod’ or ‘Finger of God’… with the point of the arrowhead shape on the focal planet, which here is Mars… now the clue… This powerful Mars point (Mars rules football) also conjuncts the natal Jupiter of Drew at 5 degrees of Leo… which is the ‘lucky trine’ to Venus in his chart.
We’ve seen in past mundane and natal charts just how powerful an aspect the ‘Yod’ can be… like the predictions of the October 1st 09’ post… and the natal double ‘Yod’ destiny aspect of Bettie Page.
Since the game chart favors both sides as it progresses over a two hour time period… and being that the natal charts of both these incredible men are equal… I’m going with the ‘Yod’ …to the Jupiter ‘luck’ …to tip the scale to Drew and the Saints…
Either way… the chart would still read… destiny has made Drew and the Saints the NFL Champions… I have a weakness for underdog bets… and this one looks very possible… I’ll make a conservative $5 bet… just for the fun/research of it… that the New Orleans Saints will make the 5+ point spread or win… in a close, and perhaps even tied game going into over time… and then perhaps a 3 point field goal win.
…we shall see…
