2025-12-21 Patriots at Ravens

Sunday Night Football

Kickoff time: Sunday, December 21 • 8:20 PM ET • UTC −5
Baltimore, MD (M&T Bank Stadium)

This kickoff chart screams “big-name stage + grindy execution test.” Leo rising puts the spotlight on the home side (Ravens vibe) and demands poise—because the same chart that gives swagger also bakes in fog/misreads and punishment for sloppiness (Sun square Neptune; Venus square Saturn/Neptune). Expect a game where a couple explosive moments show up, but the real separator is who stays disciplined in the red zone and on 3rd down.

The tight Moon–Jupiter opposition (0°03 applying) is the headline: momentum can swing hard—a quick burst, then a stall, or a “should’ve been a blowout” that turns into a sweaty fourth quarter if mistakes pile up.

Chart dominants and levers

• ASC Leo → Chart ruler Sun (Sun in Capricorn, 5th house): “perform + control” signature; the team that stays structured wins the spotlight.
• MC Taurus → MC ruler Venus (Venus in Sagittarius, 5th house): big-play temptation, but…
• Saturn + Neptune in Pisces (8th house) are heavily wired in by squares: pressure, attrition, “one mistake costs 7.”
• Moon in Capricorn (6th house): work-rate football—blocking, tackling, assignments, clock management.
• Jupiter Rx in Cancer (12th house) opposing Moon: hidden factors, emotional surges, overreach, and “how did that happen?” swings.

Signature sign (by emphasis): Capricorn (Earth + Cardinal theme running the whole engine).

Element + modality balance (10 planets)

• Elements: Earth 4 (Sun, Moon, Mars, Uranus) | Water 3 (Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune) | Fire 2 (Mercury, Venus) | Air 1 (Pluto)
  → Earth leads: execution > aesthetics.
• Modalities: Cardinal 4 | Mutable 4 | Fixed 2
  → Plenty of “change the plan mid-game” energy, but with Earth/Cardinal control trying to steer it.

Moon story (the “game feel”)

• Moon in Capricorn, 6th house: disciplined, physical, procedural football.
• Moon ☍ Jupiter (0°03 applying): inflated emotion + inflated stakes. Watch for:
  • sudden scoring bursts or sudden momentum-killing errors
  • “too cute” play calls backfiring
  • a drive that looks unstoppable… then collapses
• Supportive stabilization is present, but it’s work:
  • Moon ⚹ Saturn (3°08 applying) = discipline can steady the ship
  • Moon △ Uranus (5°43 applying) = one surprise play/adjustment matters

Angles + rulers

• ASC Leo 15°30 (home tone): bold, visible, “alpha” posture.
• DSC Aquarius 15°30 (away tone): strategy, detachment, system-ball.

ASC ruler Sun (Cap 0°26, 5th):

• Sun □ Neptune (1°01 separating) → misreads, weird bounces, “fog of war” moments.
• Sun □ Saturn (4°46 separating) → pressure test: can you execute when it tightens?
• Sun ☌ Mars (4°40 applying) → physical edge, urgency, spikes of aggression/tempo.

DSC rulers (Aquarius):

• Traditional Saturn (Pis 25°39, 8th): the away side gets dragged into high-pressure survival spots (turnovers/red zone/injury risk/clock problems).
• Modern Uranus (Tau 28°15, 10th): upset moments are possible—one sudden swing or headline play—especially if the favorite gets sloppy.

Key aspect stack (signal > noise)

Tier 1: game-defining

• Moon ☍ Jupiter (0°03 applying) — volatility, momentum whiplash, emotional surges
• Venus □ Saturn (1°01 separating) — “fun gets taxed”: stalled drives, penalties, missed opportunities
• Sun □ Neptune (1°01 separating) — confusion/misdirection, questionable decisions, odd breaks

Tier 2: shape of the struggle

• Venus □ Neptune (2°43 applying) — glamour vs reality: a pretty plan that doesn’t cash out
• Saturn ☌ Neptune (3°45 applying) — heaviness/fatigue, muddled execution under pressure
• Jupiter △ Saturn (3°04 separating) — structure can still win if you stay patient

House-based game script notes

• 5th house loaded (Mercury/Venus/Sun/Mars): entertainment + aggression + “make a statement” energy. Expect at least a few highlight attempts.
• 6th house Moon + Pluto: grind + intensity; the game can get mean/clinical. Also: one nasty momentum swing (Pluto flavor).
• 8th house Saturn/Neptune: the danger zone—turnovers, injuries, red-zone stalls, special teams weirdness.
• 12th house Jupiter Rx: hidden luck + hidden overconfidence. This can show up as:
  • a “gift” touchdown/turnover
  • a favorite getting emotionally loose
  • a late-game “how did they let that happen?” sequence

What I’d watch for (practical tells)

• Early: if the favorite looks too loose/confident, the Sun–Neptune signature bites fast (misreads, blown coverage, weird pick).
• Middle quarters: the Moon–Jupiter opposition often shows a big swing (quick 10–14 points either way).
• Late: Saturn/Neptune pressure = execution tax. The cleaner team wins; the sloppier team keeps giving points away.

Scoring vibe: not a clean shootout, not a pure slog — volatile/moderate. Think bursts + stalls, with at least one “wait… what?” moment.

Postgame Astrology summary:
Baltimore’s fast-start script (Henry ripping a 21-yard TD at 12:21 after Lamar hit Flowers for chunk gains) looked like the Leo-rising “home spotlight” was going to stay clean—then the chart’s fog-and-tax signature took over. The Patriots answered with a drive that died into drama and flipped on Maye’s interception at 6:37, but Baltimore immediately handed it right back when Henry fumbled at 1:51—the first big Moon–Jupiter swing that kept the game from settling. From there it turned into exactly what this kickoff promised: bursts + stalls and costly pressure moments (Sun □ Neptune, Venus □ Saturn). New England kept taking points (Borregales FG at 5:39 to go up 10–7), Baltimore answered with a stabilizing 36-yard FG at 1:03, and the whole night stayed on that razor. In the second half the “should’ve been” margin kept leaking—Loop came up short on a 56-yard try at 10:43 (3Q), then Baltimore surged anyway with the reversed Hopkins catch and a Flowers TD run at 4:35 (3Q), and Henry punched it in again at 12:50 (4Q) for a 24–13 cushion. But the Moon–Jupiter volatility wasn’t done: Maye detonated the comeback with a 37-yard TD at 9:01 (4Q), then drove 89 yards for Stevenson’s 21-yard TD at 2:07 to take the lead, and the final Neptune-style collapse hit Baltimore on the last gasp when Flowers fumbled at 1:57 to seal it. A classic “spotlight favorite can’t cash the advantage” game—big plays, weird breaks, and one late turnover deciding the whole story.
