2025-12-28 Cardinals @ Bengals — Kickoff astrology chart analysis

This chart is loud for Cincinnati control early: Aries ASC with the Moon conjunct the ASC (crowd/emotion/tempo) and Mars (ASC ruler) exalted in Capricorn and tightly conjunct the MC (scoreboard authority).
The only “uh-oh” is how much is happening in the 12th house (Moon + Saturn/Neptune): it can bring a weird red-zone moment—penalty, miscue, or a near-turnover—right when the drive should be automatic. Still, with Mars sitting on the MC, the default expectation is Bengals come away with points early Q2 (TD most likely, but “messy TD” is on-theme).

Dominants

• Mars exalted in Capricorn, conjunct MC (very tight): the strongest “who runs the game” signature.
• Moon conjunct ASC from the 12th: high emotion + volatility; momentum can swing fast, but it still boosts the ASC side.
• Capricorn 9th-house stack (Sun/Venus/Mars/Mercury): big-stage, “statement drive” football; long, methodical sequences.

Element + modality (traditional focus)

• Elements (Sun/Moon/Mercury/Venus/Mars/Jupiter/Saturn): Earth 3 (Cap) | Fire 2 (Aries/Sag) | Water 2 (Cancer/Pisces) | Air 0
  → grounded, trenchy execution with bursts of fire (tempo/decision-making).
• Modalities: Cardinal 5 | Mutable 2 | Fixed 0
  → fast starts, decisive stretches, less “slow grind” than usual.

Moon story (Aries Moon in the 12th)

• Aries Moon = urgency, aggression, play-to-win calls.
• In the 12th = hidden complications: communication breakdowns, “almost” plays, injury/limp-off vibes, flags at the worst time.
• Moon □ Jupiter (H4) = emotional overreach / “we’ve got this” moments that can create a swing (especially around goal line / big momentum snaps).

Angular hits that matter

• Mars 10° Cap vs MC 11°54 Cap (≈ 1°42): Bengals advantage on the public scoreboard.
• Moon 19° Aries vs ASC 21°25 Aries (≈ 2°): Bengals tempo + crowd current is real.
• Sun/Venus in Capricorn also lean toward “CIN looks like the team in control,” even if it’s not always clean.

ASC/DSC rulers (team tug-of-war)

Assuming home Bengals = ASC (Aries) and away Cardinals = DSC (Libra):

• Bengals ruler Mars (Capricorn H9) is exalted and on the MC → edge.
• Cardinals ruler Venus (Capricorn H9) is conjunct Mars → the game can feel “closer than it looks” at times (one swing play can tighten it), but Mars being tighter to MC keeps Cincinnati as the default leader.

House-based “old-school” read

• 10th house (Capricorn) is loaded + Mars on MC: favors the team “on top” most of the day (CIN holding the narrative).
• 4th house Jupiter Rx in Cancer (strong but retrograde): the “end-of-game” can wobble—leads can compress if discipline slips.
• 2nd house Uranus: surprise value shifts—odd turnovers, special teams weirdness, sudden score changes that mess with totals/spreads.
