Oregon vs Indiana — Kickoff astrology chart analysis

This chart screams “high-stakes chess match that turns into a workmanlike fistfight”: a crushing Capricorn 6th-house pile-up (Sun–Venus–Mars) says the game is decided by discipline, conditioning, trench wins, and doing the boring stuff right… but it’s sitting in a tight opposition to Jupiter in Cancer (12th), which is classic overreach / momentum whiplash / hidden advantage / the ‘how did that just happen?’ swing.

The vibe I’d expect on the field: early execution hiccups + quick adjustment, then a stretch of methodical drives and grind, and a late-game pressure cooker where one mistake (or one burst play) flips the entire narrative. If there’s a controversial moment, a weird special-teams bounce, or a “sudden” momentum reversal that the broadcast can’t stop replaying — this chart is basically begging for it.

Core chart signature

Dominant engine: Capricorn stellium in the 6th (Sun, Venus, Mars)

• 6th house = work, repetition, stamina, minor injuries/maintenance issues, “who stays clean and consistent”
• Sun–Mars–Venus tightly bundled = intensity + urgency + emotional investment (players are all-in)
• Because it’s Capricorn, it favors the team that can stay structured under stress and win in small edges (field position, red-zone efficiency, third downs, penalties).

Counterforce: Jupiter in Cancer in the 12th opposing that whole Capricorn pile

• 12th house Jupiter often behaves like: hidden help / hidden problems / the thing you don’t see until it hits
• Oppositions to Sun/Mars/Venus bring confidence swings: big push → overextension → correction → big push again.
• This is one of those “the game keeps trying to get away from somebody” signatures.

High-pressure undertow: Saturn conjunct Neptune in Pisces in the 8th

• 8th house = intensity, brinkmanship, “money-time,” psychological strain, and resource management
• Saturn–Neptune together can manifest as fog + pressure: plays feel heavy, moments feel consequential, and errors can come from confusion or emotion, not just skill.

Dominants and counts

Element balance (10 planets)

• Earth: 5 (Capricorn x4 + Uranus in Taurus) → practicality, grind, ball-control mentality
• Water: 3 (Jupiter Cancer + Saturn/Neptune Pisces) → emotion, crowd surges, “feel” momentum
• Air: 2 (Moon Libra + Pluto Aquarius) → tactics, adjustments, mental game
• Fire: 0 → not a “pure fireworks” chart; scoring (if it pops) tends to come in bursts or via one big swing, not constant chaos.

Modality

• Cardinal: 6 (Capricorn x4 + Cancer + Libra Moon) → fast shifts, momentum turns, “respond and re-assert”
• Fixed: 2 (Taurus, Aquarius) → stubbornness shows up in key spots
• Mutable: 2 (Pisces x2) → the “fog factor” during pressure moments

Overall takeaway: Cardinal Earth dominates → the team that can impose structure and keep composure tends to win the script.

Moon story

Moon in Libra (3rd house)

• 3rd house themes: communication, cadence, adjustments, play-calling rhythm
• Libra adds: balance, timing, “drive symmetry” (back-and-forth patterns)

Key Moon tells

• Moon square Mercury was exact and is just separating (0°02′): opening stretch can feature miscommunication, a slightly off rhythm, or a drive that stalls for a “why did they do that?” reason… but it also means the correction arrives quickly.
• Moon’s broader squares to the Capricorn cluster = emotional volatility meets disciplined execution → you get that “calm drive → sudden mistake → calm drive again” cadence.

Rulership and angles

ASC Leo 13°57′ (tone of the game)

• Leo rising = spotlight energy, swagger, theatrics, big-moment players wanting the camera.
• ASC ruler Sun is in Capricorn (6th) and tightly tied to Mars/Venus and opposing Jupiter:
  • The “Leo” showiness gets expressed through work + control + intensity, not looseness.
  • But the Jupiter opposition says: confidence management is everything (don’t get baited into overreaching).

DSC Aquarius 13°57′ (the opponent force / counterstyle)

• Traditional ruler Saturn in Pisces (8th) conjunct Neptune = opponent energy that can feel slippery, emotional, hard to read, and dangerous in high-pressure moments.
• Modern ruler Uranus in Taurus (10th) = sudden public swing potential (the “highlight” play, the shock moment).

MC Taurus 7°15′ (public outcome tone)

• MC ruler Venus is in Capricorn 6th conjunct the Sun/Mars engine → the outcome is tied to:
  • execution, clean football, wear-down drives
  • and resisting the Jupiter 12th trap (hidden mistakes / hidden momentum).

How this can translate to a game script

• First quarter: quick readjustments, maybe a weird early stall/decision (Moon–Mercury just separated).
• Middle quarters: trench-and-structure football — sustained drives, field-position emphasis, “who keeps doing the job.”
• Swing windows: Jupiter in the 12th opposing the core stellium = one sequence (turnover, busted coverage, special teams, officiating swing, unexpected tempo change) that flips leverage.
• Late game: Saturn–Neptune in the 8th says pressure magnifies everything — conservative calls, tight bodies, and the chance for a “fog moment” (misread, missed assignment, emotional penalty).

If you’re trying to pick a winner from the chart alone: it leans toward the side that can stay disciplined while the game tries to tempt them into ego/overreach. The chart rewards boring excellence — and punishes “we got this” energy.

Notable player and coach horoscope transits:

Oregon

Dan Lanning (HC)

This is a high-pressure, high-visibility window: multiple tight squares to his natal Sun (Jupiter/Venus/Sun/Mars) reads like “big moment, big consequences.” The upside is growth and decisive leadership; the downside is forcing outcomes or overcorrecting emotionally (Pluto square natal Moon).
Best lane: simplify the message, pick the clearest identity call, then commit—don’t chase every swing.

Game keys

• Win by discipline under spotlight, not adrenaline.
• Avoid “hero corrections” after a bad drive—one clean adjustment at a time.

Will Stein (OC)

There’s real strategic power here (Pluto trine natal Sun/Mars) — the kind that rewards bold sequencing and a killer constraint play. But Neptune opposing natal Mercury is the classic “fog of war” marker: signals get crossed, timing gets off, or the playcall doesn’t match the defensive picture.
Best lane: call aggressive concepts, but keep the communication/tempo ruthlessly clean.

Game keys

• If anything feels “off,” go to simple, high-certainty calls for 1–2 series.
• Great for second-half adjustments if you avoid mental clutter early.

Tosh Lupoi (DC)

Neptune trine natal Sun exact is a strong “read the game” aspect—intuition for what they’re trying to do and when. The volatility comes from Uranus square natal Venus + Pluto quincunx natal Mars: unexpected personnel moments / sudden shifts that demand quick re-alignment.
Best lane: flexible calls + fast personnel responses. If he stays calm, he can pattern-match their tendencies midstream.

Game keys

• Expect at least one surprise look; be ready to re-anchor the defense quickly.
• Great for a “big stop after chaos” sequence.

Dante Moore (QB)

Pluto trine natal Sun is clutch gravity: composure, presence, and the ability to rise into the moment. Add Venus trine natal Mercury + Jupiter sextile natal Mercury and you get clean processing + touch + confidence when he stays in rhythm.
Best lane: quick decisions, on-time throws, and leaning into the mental game.

Game keys

• If he gets hot, it can snowball positively — feed rhythm concepts.
• Best under pressure when he stays decisive (no double-clutch).

Bryce Boettcher (Defensive Captain)

Saturn trine natal Mars is textbook disciplined violence—strong tackling, assignment seriousness, and leadership through steadiness. Uranus square natal Venus/Uranus can show as sudden emotional spikes (big momentum swing, missed assignment, or a surprise play).
Best lane: keep him as the stabilizer: “get lined up, get set, hit clean.”

Game keys

• He’s primed for statement hits and tone-setting drives.
• Watch the “surprise moment” — best response is reset, don’t react.

Indiana

Curt Cignetti (HC)

Saturn sextile natal Moon + Neptune sextile natal Saturn is steady nerve + big-picture patience—good for staying composed in a noisy game. Mercury quincunx natal Sun suggests adjustment pressure: he may need to change posture midgame (risk tolerance, tempo, or fourth-down decisions).
Best lane: calm leadership, timely pivots, no ego-war with the moment.

Game keys

• Strong for “don’t panic” game management.
• Best decisions come after a brief pause — slow the mind, then act.

Mike Shanahan (OC)

Mercury conjunct natal Neptune is creative genius OR fog machine, and with Moon squares (Moon□Moon + Moon□Neptune) the emotional/current-game feel can distort judgment. Saturn sextile natal Mercury helps: structure is the antidote.
Best lane: scripted clarity, repeatable concepts, avoid “cute” calls when the game is tense.

Game keys

• When it’s messy: go simple + physical + defined reads.
• Best when he trusts the plan and doesn’t chase the perfect call.

Chandler Whitmer (Co-OC/QB)

This is a high-execution profile: Sun trine natal Mars + Mars trine natal Mars + Jupiter sextile natal Mars is “get it done.” Pluto quincunx natal Mercury/Venus points to tension in communication/adjustment: the fix is tight coaching language and quick corrections.
Best lane: keep the QB’s head clear and the process clean—he’s built for it tonight.

Game keys

• Great for sideline recalibration after a rough series.
• Emphasize “one read, one decision” to avoid overprocessing.

Bryant Haines (DC)

Saturn trine natal Saturn gives structural strength, but Uranus opposing natal Saturn + Pluto square Pluto is disruptive: the game may force him into uncomfortable change (tempo issues, busted fits, or having to alter the pressure plan). Neptune square Neptune adds “blur”—misreads are possible.
Best lane: keep the spine of the defense intact, but be ready to bend the front and change leverage rules quickly.

Game keys

• One “shock” drive is likely; the recovery matters more than the event.
• Best when he chooses one adjustment and reinforces it hard.

Fernando Mendoza (QB)

This is the toughest QB slate on the list: Mercury opposite natal Saturn exact is pressure on decisions, hesitation risk, and feeling “boxed in.” Add multiple squares to natal Venus (Sun/Mars/Jupiter) and it can feel like “everything’s contested.” The saving grace is Venus trine natal Mercury: when he’s comfortable, timing and accuracy can still show.
Best lane: simplify reads, trust first-window throws, avoid drifting into “prove it” mode.

Game keys

• Avoid hero ball. Win with rhythm + short-to-intermediate certainty.
• If he starts pressing, reset with quick game / designed movement.

Aiden Fisher (Defensive Captain)

This is a big-impact signature: Pluto conjunct natal Venus + Pluto sextile natal Mars + Sun trine natal Jupiter + Mars trine natal Jupiter reads like power, confidence, and “arrive with force.” The Jupiter quincunx natal Pluto exact is the warning: overreach or a momentum-chasing gamble can backfire.
Best lane: play violent but smart — he can be a game-shifter if disciplined.

Game keys

• Prime for turning-point tackles and emotional lift.
• The only danger is trying to do too much — stay within the call.

Oregon vs Indiana — Below is the pregame kickoff astrology chart analysis based on the televised start time of 5:30 PM MST

This kickoff chart screams “disciplined trench game… until one chaotic sequence flips the whole script.” You’ve got a heavy Capricorn workmanlike engine (execution, conditioning, clock management) pushing against a 12th-house Jupiter (hidden variables, momentum mirages, “how did that happen?” swings). Expect a game that feels controllable for long stretches—then suddenly turns on a communication glitch, a busted assignment, a wild bounce, or a surprise coaching decision. If one side gets comfy, the chart punishes it fast: Sun/Mars/Venus opposing Jupiter is classic overreach → snap-back. This is a “prove it in the details” semifinal, not a vibes-only shootout.

Chart snapshot

• ASC Leo 12°06′ (big-stage, spotlight energy; ego/pride, leadership, “statement” mindset)
• MC Taurus 4°55′ (results come through steadiness; value of field position, composure, fundamentals)
• Moon Libra 12°38′ in H3 (decision-making, communication, rhythm, in-game adjustments; “balance vs imbalance” becomes the live theme)

KTB Core dominants

Element count (10 planets):

• Earth 5 (Capricorn + Taurus): execution, structure, conditioning, fundamentals
• Water 3 (Cancer + Pisces): emotion, momentum undercurrents, hidden factors
• Air 2 (Libra + Aquarius): reads, communication, cleverness
• Fire 0: less “pure instinct,” more “system + discipline” (when Fire is missing, teams can look flat until triggered)

Modality count:

• Cardinal 6 (Cap/Lib/Cancer): initiative, pacing battles, coaching decisions matter a lot
• Fixed 2 (Taurus/Aquarius): stubborn stretches, “we’re doing it our way”
• Mutable 2 (Pisces): slippage, fog, improvisation under pressure

House emphasis (by weight, not just count):

• H6 stack (Capricorn + Pluto): the grind house—execution, stamina, routine, “do your job” football
• H12 Jupiter Rx: hidden/behind-the-scenes variables, misdirection, weird luck pockets, invisible momentum
• H8 Saturn–Neptune: pressure points, high-stakes moments, red-zone/turnover vibes, “can you hold your nerve?”

Moon storyline (Libra in the 3rd)

Moon in Libra/H3 is all about the live chess match:

• rhythm and tempo swings
• sideline communication / headset / playcall timing
• reads, audibles, route adjustments
• officiating/spot/review moments that change tone (Libra = “fairness,” “balance,” “did they get that call?”)

And the Moon is wired into volatility:

Tight triggers (very loud):

• Moon □ Mercury (orb 0°02 applying) → misreads, timing issues, “wrong page” moments; also quick-correction potential if a staff is sharp
• Moon □ Uranus (orb 0°06 applying) → sudden flips: busted coverages, surprise trickery, turnovers, explosive plays
• Mercury ⧄ Uranus (orb 0°04 applying) → disruptive signals: unexpected coaching calls, protection breakdowns, odd substitutions, “why did they do that?” sequences

This is the chart signature for: one strange sequence can decide a quarter.

Angles & rulers

ASC Leo → chart ruler = Sun

• Sun in Capricorn (H6) = leadership through execution and discipline
• Sun ☌ Mars (0°08 separating) = physicality, urgency, aggressive game plan, “hit first”
• Sun ☌ Venus (0°48 separating) = cohesion, timing, good “chemistry drives” when things are clean

But:

• Sun ☍ Jupiter Rx (0°24 applying) = inflated confidence, big expectations, overextension risk
• Mars ☍ Jupiter Rx (0°32 applying) = “go for it” energy; can be heroic or reckless
• Venus ☍ Jupiter Rx (0°24 separating) = momentum surges that feel blessed… until they aren’t

DSC Aquarius → Saturn (traditional) / Uranus (modern)

• Saturn in Pisces (H8) with Neptune in Pisces (H8): pressure + fog in the “critical moments” zone
• Saturn ⚹ Uranus (0°59 applying): adjustments can stabilize chaos—the staff that adapts best gets the edge when the game turns weird

The main pattern: Capricorn machine vs 12th-house Jupiter fog

This is the backbone of the game:

Capricorn H6 pile-up (Sun/Venus/Mars + Pluto in the 6th sphere):

• conditioning + discipline matter
• “clean football” wins drives
• mistake control is everything
• the winner likely earns it through process, not magic

Jupiter Rx in Cancer H12:

• hidden factors: surprise availability/injury limitations, unseen matchup edges, backstage narrative shifts
• emotional swell moments: crowd/TV narrative spikes, “destiny drive” energy
• but also: false confidence and “big play hunting” traps

When Jupiter is opposed by Sun/Mars/Venus, teams get tempted into the one extra thing—the extra risk, the forced throw, the cute call. That’s where this chart bites.

House-based predictive notes (game-script style)

H6 (Capricorn):

• Drives are built on discipline, not improvisation
• Expect a premium on: protection rules, tackling, special teams lanes, clock/timeout management
• “Boring” advantages (field position, penalties, 3rd-down efficiency) end up loud

H3 (Libra Moon):

• The live adjustment war decides the middle quarters
• Watch for: series-to-series playcalling swings, tempo shifts, QB communication, sideline composure

H8 (Saturn–Neptune):

• Red zone and “pivot plays” carry fog + fear
• Missed assignments can cluster near the biggest moments
• Also: a team may tighten up right when the door is open—unless their staff anchors them

H10 (Uranus in Taurus):

• “Public scoreboard shocks” (Uranus) but delivered through Taurus themes: field position, possessions, “value football”
• Strange twist, but not necessarily a track meet—more like one unexpected structural break

H12 (Jupiter Rx):

• Something important may be unseen until it suddenly is
• The game can reward the team that stays patient and doesn’t chase ghosts

Astro lean (conditional, depending on how you map teams)

Because this is a neutral-site CFP semifinal, I’d frame it like this:

• If you map the “favorite/expected controller” to the ASC (Leo/Sun): advantage comes from discipline + assertiveness, but only if they avoid the Jupiter overreach trap (forced shots, greedy 4th-down logic, premature celebrations).
• If you map the “underdog/disruptor” to the ASC: this chart supports an upset path via Mercury–Uranus / Moon–Uranus volatility—one weird sequence, one explosive flip, one miscommunication cascade.

Either way: the chart doesn’t want a clean, linear story. It wants a disciplined team to survive a chaos spike.
