2026-01-04 Jets @ Bills

Buffalo’s chart is loud on the relationship axis: a Capricorn pile-up sitting right on/near the Descendant screams “the opponent matters” — either the Jets land an early punch, or Buffalo’s night turns into a constant response game (answering drives, answering momentum, answering weirdness). At the same time, Cancer rising with Jupiter Rx in the 1st gives the Bills a big “home-field buoyancy” signature: even when things get messy, the chart tilts toward Buffalo finding a way to steady the ship.

The key vibe is controlled chaos: Moon in Leo (H2) wants points and “owning possessions,” but it’s also opposite Pluto (H8) — that’s turnover tension, sudden swings, and “one sequence flips the tone.” If Buffalo rotates starters, that Pluto opposition can show up as second-unit misreads, special teams weirdness, or a surprise Jets surge. But the Moon’s support (trines to Saturn/Neptune) still reads like Buffalo’s structure eventually wins out — especially if they treat the first half as “get to business, then get out healthy.”

Week 18 playoff and motivation context (AFC)

• Buffalo is in the playoffs no matter what — but seeding is still live: the Bills can finish No. 5 to No. 7.
• Bills get the No. 5 seed if: Bills win and Texans lose/tie and Chargers lose/tie.
• Bills get the No. 6 seed if: Bills win and (Texans lose/tie or Chargers lose/tie).
• Bills stay No. 7 if: Bills lose or Bills win + Texans win + Chargers win.
• This matters because the Chargers are sitting Justin Herbert in Week 18 per the seeding-scenarios coverage — that result directly affects Buffalo’s path to climbing.
• Buffalo’s own injury/availability context: Josh Allen was managed in practice with a foot issue but is expected to be good to go; Bernard/Jones/Poyer were ruled out.

Chart dominants

• Capricorn stellium in H7 (Sun–Venus–Mars) + Mercury near the DSC: opponent storyline is center stage.
• Cancer ASC with Jupiter Rx in H1: the home side has the “luck/boost” lever, but it can be inflated, emotional, or momentum-dependent.
• Moon (ASC ruler) in Leo H2: game expression funnels into points, possessions, and “who cashes drives.”

Elements and modalities (10 planets)

• Earth (5): Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars (Capricorn) + Uranus (Taurus)
• Water (3): Jupiter (Cancer) + Saturn/Neptune (Pisces)
• Fire (1): Moon (Leo)
• Air (1): Pluto (Aquarius)
• Cardinal (5): heavy “push the issue” energy (especially Capricorn/Cancer)
• Fixed (3): stubborn stretches, clock-grind, and “no, we impose our way”
• Mutable (2): late adjustments, foggy sequences, trickiness around reads

Angles and “who owns the moment”

Assuming Bills = ASC (home), Jets = DSC (away):

• DSC is stacked: Sun/Venus/Mars in Capricorn in the 7th and close enough to feel angular → the Jets are not invisible even if talent says otherwise.
• Mercury within ~5° of the DSC (from H6): watch for “game management” moments — penalties, review/communication weirdness, sideline/headset miscues, or a surprise swing on a seemingly routine sequence.
• Jupiter in the 1st isn’t tight to the ASC, but it’s still a “big body on the home side of the chart.”

Rulers and aspects that matter most

Bills (ASC Cancer) → Moon in Leo (H2)

• Moon ☍ Pluto (H8): turnover battle / sudden momentum flips / a “one-drive drama” signature.
• Moon △ Saturn + △ Neptune (wide): Buffalo’s structure can stabilize after volatility.
• Moon ⚹ Uranus: a breakaway, unexpected conversion, or sudden field-position swing.

Jets (DSC Capricorn) → Saturn in Pisces (H10)

• Saturn ☌ Neptune (H10): “fog + pressure” for the Jets’ authority/command layer (QB/coaching/execution under spotlight).
• Saturn ⚹ Uranus: they can manufacture a few sharp moments — but it’s often situational, not sustained.

The core conflict

• Capricorn H7 trio opposes Jupiter H1 (Sun/Venus/Mars vs Jupiter): classic “talent vs volatility” push-pull.
  • If Buffalo plays starters early: this looks like Jets resistance early, Bills separation later.
  • If Buffalo goes heavy rotation: this looks like “closer than expected,” with Buffalo still having the better late stabilizers.

Predictive notes (old-school house logic)

• H2 Moon: Buffalo’s scoring/drive “value” comes from owning possessions — finish drives, avoid the one catastrophic giveaway.
• H8 Pluto opposing that Moon: the Jets’ best chance is stealing a possession (strip, tipped ball, special teams surprise) and turning it into instant points.
• With Saturn (Jets ruler) in the 10th: if the Jets look good at all, it’s usually because Buffalo’s execution gets “foggy” — not because the Jets consistently dominate snap-to-snap.
