🔬 The Lab
The experiment this site is, in numbers: what the sky looked like over every finished game, held against the result and the market's closing line. Every rate stands beside its baseline — the same outcome over all the games of that sport — with the games behind it and a 95% band. Nothing here is a claim; a finding is a question to ask again next season.
Counted 2026-10-31T23:45 UTC · fewer than 30 games is "too few games" · skies: games that share a kickoff share a sky, so this is the number of distinct starts behind a row
🏟️ The games and the baselines
The yardsticks every row below is measured against: how often the home side wins, how often the market's favourite wins, how often a game goes over its closing total, how often the favourite covers.

☽ The Moon's wheel
The home side's win rate by the Moon's sign: a sign's bar stands out of the ring where the rate is above the baseline and sinks into it where below; a hollow mark is a sign with too few games. Baseline 57%.

📐 How it is counted
- A game counts once it is final and has a chart cast for its listed start; the chart is read as the site reads every chart — Regiomontanus houses, the home side's house the 1st.
- The market is the closing line: the newest odds at or before the start. The favourite is the spread's side where the market is the spread (NFL, college football, NBA, WNBA) and the shorter moneyline elsewhere. A draw is neither a win nor an upset.
- A planet is on an angle within 3°. Aspects among the planets use the traditional orbs (the moiety of the two planets' orbs); the Moon's next and last aspects are the exact ones, applying within its sign — void of course is a Moon that makes no more aspect before it leaves its sign.
- Swift is faster than 13°11' a day, slow is under 12°30'; the late degrees are the last three; the via combusta is 15° Libra to 15° Scorpio; the phases are eighths of the lunation; a day of the Full or New Moon is 12°.
- The band is the 95% Wilson interval. Games that share a kickoff share a sky, so n overstates the evidence: the distinct skies are shown beside it. With this many rows, some will stand away from the baseline by chance alone — a row is a hypothesis to pre-register for next season, not a result.
- The questions are the tradition's — Lilly's and Frawley's horary rules for contests, and the event-chart practice of the sports astrologers; the answers are the ledger's, whatever they say.
