2025-12-21 Raiders at Texans
Kickoff time: Sunday, December 21 • 3:25 PM CT • UTC −6
Houston, TX (NRG Stadium)

This chart screams high-stakes grind with “weird moments”. Heavy Capricorn/cardinal pressure points to discipline, field-position football, and red-zone tension, but the Neptune pile-up (Sun/Mars/Venus all tied into Neptune + Saturn☌Neptune) adds fog-of-war: miscues, odd bounces, questionable timing, or “how did that happen?” sequences. With Uranus sitting right on the ASC, don’t be shocked by a sudden momentum flip (turnover, special-teams jolt, or a surprise coaching call) that changes the texture fast. Net: bursts inside a controlled, choppy game rather than a clean shootout.
KTB Core (Raiders @ Texans)
Dominants snapshot (traditional emphasis)
Element count (Sun–Saturn):
- Earth: 3 (Sun, Moon, Mars in Capricorn)
- Fire: 2 (Mercury, Venus in Sagittarius)
- Water: 2 (Jupiter in Cancer, Saturn in Pisces)
- Air: 0
Modality count (Sun–Saturn):
- Cardinal: 4 (Capricorn x3 + Cancer)
- Mutable: 3 (Sagittarius x2 + Pisces)
- Fixed: 0
Read: Cardinal/Earth dominance = execution pressure, urgency, and “who stays on script”. Air being absent leans away from a light, free-flowing game—more chess + friction.
Moon: sign, house, and game flow
- Moon: Capricorn 20°32′ in the 9th house
- Key Moon aspects (from your list):
- Moon ☍ Jupiter (2°05′, Applying)
- Moon ⚹ Saturn (5°07′, Applying)
- Moon △ Uranus (7°43′, Applying)
Read: Capricorn Moon wants control, but the Moon–Jupiter opposition applying is classic for emotional surges / momentum swings (big play → overreach → correction). The Saturn sextile is a stabilizer (teams can “re-lock” after mistakes), while the Uranus trine keeps the game prone to sudden shifts.
Angles and “hit points”
- ASC: Gemini 00°52′ (home vibe / Texans)
- DSC: Sagittarius 00°52′ (away vibe / Raiders)
- MC: Aquarius 14°04′
Major hit:
- Uranus in Taurus 28°15′ is tightly conjunct the ASC (Gemini 00°52′) by sign-boundary proximity → wildcard kickoff chart: unexpected personnel, surprise calls, weird turnover timing, special teams spice, or a “this is not going to be normal” feel.
Pressure cusp:
- Venus 26°29′ Sagittarius is essentially on the 8th-house cusp (Sag 26°22′) → money/possession drama: turnovers, short fields, sudden scoring chances, or “one mistake costs 7.”
Team rulers (game lens)
Texans (home) = ASC Gemini → Mercury (ruler)
- Mercury: Sagittarius 13°34′, 7th house
- Mercury in Sagittarius = detriment, and sitting in the opponent’s house = playing reactive, needing clean communication to avoid self-inflicted problems.
Raiders (away) = DSC Sagittarius → Jupiter (ruler)
- Jupiter: Cancer 22°36′ ℞, 3rd house (exaltation sign)
- Jupiter exalted = real “push” potential, but retrograde can show hesitation, looping decisions, conservative reversals, or missed chances that come back around.
- Also: Moon ☍ Jupiter (Applying) directly activates the Raiders’ ruler → their momentum is “loud” but swingy (big moments + overextension risk).
Aspect weather (what dominates the vibe)
This is a Neptune-heavy chart:
- Sun □ Neptune (0°52′)
- Venus □ Neptune (2°56′)
- Mars □ Neptune (5°34′)
- Saturn ☌ Neptune (3°45′)
Plus Saturn friction: - Venus □ Saturn (0°50′)
- Sun □ Saturn (4°37′)
Read: Neptune + Saturn is the signature of pressure + haze: execution under stress, confusion moments, deceptive looks, blown coverages or dropped opportunities, and a game that can feel “sticky” even when a team is better. Add:
- Moon ☍ Jupiter (Applying) → emotional overcorrections / momentum waves
- Uranus on ASC → one sharp turn changes the story
Minors (from your list):
- Venus ⚻ Uranus (Applying) and Sun ⚻ Uranus (Separating) → “adjustment energy,” awkward rhythm changes, and sudden plan B.
House-based predictive notes (old-school useful)
- 8th house loaded (Sun/Mars + Venus on cusp): possessions are expensive; short fields, turnovers, and red-zone leverage matter more than usual.
- 9th house Moon + Pluto: big “narrative” decisions—4th-down choices, replay/refs drama, or coaching philosophy moments.
- 11th house Saturn–Neptune: depth/rotation and collective discipline are tested; team structure vs chaos.
- 3rd house Jupiter: quick-game, communication, short-area rhythm—also fits “the game turns on a few sequences.”
Bottom line vibe: Expect at least one sharp momentum pivot and a game that rewards the side that stays calm after weirdness.
