2025-12-21 Chargers at Cowboys
Kickoff time: Sunday, December 21 • 12:00 PM CT • UTC −6
Venue: Arlington, TX (AT&T Stadium)

At noon in Arlington, the kickoff chart screams “spotlight pressure”: Venus sits right on the Midheaven with the Sun close behind, so execution, finishing drives, and headline moments get amplified fast. But it’s not clean-and-easy energy—Saturn rising in Pisces with Neptune nearby, plus the Sun square Neptune, points to a game where discipline fights fog: strange sequences, shaky timing, reviews/flags, or a couple plays that feel inexplicable in real time. The Moon in Capricorn in the 11th keeps it a tough, grindy tone, yet its applying opposition to Jupiter (the Cowboys’ ruler, exalted in Cancer in the 5th) hints at emotional surges and sudden scoring bursts—especially if Dallas finds confidence and rhythm. For the Chargers, Mercury ruling the 7th in Sagittarius reads like aggressive strategy with a risk/reward edge: the upside is pace and big shots, and the downside is precision under pressure in a game that’s already astrologically wired for “almost” plays and momentum whiplash.
Dominant vibe (chart-weight, not your engine’s scored dominants)
- Angular stack is loud: Venus (26° Sag) conjunct MC (23°59 Sag) + Sun (0° Cap) close to MC = a “spotlight / headline / points matter” game.
- ASC is loaded: Saturn (25° Pisces) within ~5° of ASC (20° Pisces) with Neptune (29° Pisces) nearby → pressure + fog + weird timing.
- Overall “signature”: Capricorn grind (Sun/Moon/Mars) + Jupiter drama (Moon ☍ Jupiter).
Elements + modalities (10 planets)
- Elements: Earth 4 (Sun/Moon/Mars/Uranus) • Water 3 (Jupiter/Saturn/Neptune) • Fire 2 (Mercury/Venus) • Air 1 (Pluto)
→ Earth + Water: physical, strategic, “weight of the moment” football. - Modalities: Cardinal 4 • Mutable 4 • Fixed 2
→ Big momentum swings are in-bounds: teams can look totally different quarter to quarter.
Moon check
- Moon: Capricorn 18°47′ in the 11th house
- Moon ☍ Jupiter (applying 3°50′): emotional surges, crowd/energy spikes, “too much / not enough” swings (big runs, busted coverages, sudden scoring responses).
- Moon ⚹ Saturn (applying 6°52′): teams still able to clamp down after chaos; good for “bend-don’t-break” sequences late.
Weird angular hits (money spots)
- MC (Sag 23°59): Venus conjunct MC (~2°19) + Sun nearby → style, skill, and “who executes clean” gets magnified. Also puts kicking/finishing drives under a microscope (Venus = precision; squares add stress).
- ASC (Pisces 20°09): Saturn near ASC (~5°) with Neptune in the same sign → physical toll, conservative coaching moments, and occasional “what just happened?” sequences.
Team rulers (ASC = Cowboys, DSC = Chargers)
Home (Cowboys) — ASC Pisces
- Traditional ruler: Jupiter (Cancer 22°37′ Rx) in the 5th house
- Jupiter △ Saturn (sep 3°01) and Jupiter △ Neptune (sep 6°47): big “belief + composure” support—home side can settle and play with purpose.
- Moon ☍ Jupiter (applying): but it comes with volatility—overreaches, emotional decisions, or sudden answer-backs.
Away (Chargers) — DSC Virgo
- Traditional ruler: Mercury (Sagittarius 13°21′) in the 9th house
- Mercury in Sagittarius is bold but not always precise: aggressive play-calling / risk throws / pace pushes can be the path… and also the trap.
- Notably, Mercury isn’t tied into your listed major aspects, so the Chargers’ “execution / decision layer” can feel hit-or-miss compared to the Cowboys’ ruler being heavily networked.
Aspect climate (how the game “feels”)
- Venus □ Saturn (0°39!) + Venus □ Neptune (3°06 applying): beauty under pressure + blurry edges → missed timing, awkward penalties, shaky red-zone decisions, or “almost” plays.
- Sun □ Neptune (0°43): foggy narrative energy—reviews, officiating weirdness, misdirection, or momentum that doesn’t track logically.
- Saturn ☌ Neptune (applying 3°45): the classic “structure vs confusion” mashup—coaches trying to impose order on a game that keeps going sideways.
- Sun ☌ Mars (applying 4°45): hits, urgency, and the “who wants it more” tone.
House-based predictive notes (using our old-school framework style)
- 10th house loaded (Sun in Cap, Venus in Sag near MC): favors the home team’s ability to control the public story—key conversions, statement drive, “we own this building” moments.
- 1st house Saturn/Neptune: the home team can win it, but only by staying disciplined; if they get sloppy, Neptune will happily turn one mistake into a spiral.
- 5th house Jupiter (home ruler): points are available—especially if the Cowboys get confident and start playing “fun football.”
- 11th house Moon/Pluto: late-game intensity + emotional power swings; don’t be shocked by a dramatic 4th quarter.
Scoring vibe (not a lock, just the chart tone)
This looks volatile more than purely low-scoring: Capricorn/Saturn says grind, but Jupiter in the 5th + Moon ☍ Jupiter says runs of points are very possible—often after one weird break, penalty, or sudden momentum flip.
