Regiomontanus houses, set for the kickoff as listed: Tuesday 20 October 2026, 7:00 PM EDT (23:00 UTC), Capital One Arena, Washington (38.9°N, 77.02°W). It is a night chart. The Washington Capitals hold the 1st house and the Los Angeles Kings the 7th. The home side is also the favourite, so the favourite-first and home-first conventions agree and the assignment is not in question. Taurus rises, so Lord 1 is Venus. Scorpio sets, so Lord 7 is Mars. Dignities follow Lilly's table with Ptolemaic terms and Chaldean faces, and Fortune follows the night formula, reversed at night.
| Position | House | Condition | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Asc / Dsc | 12°59' Taurus / Scorpio | Lord 1 = Venus (Washington Capitals), Lord 7 = Mars (Los Angeles Kings) | |
| Venus | 2°41' Scorpio | 6 | detriment, peregrine (−10); retrograde, slow; combust; in Mars's domicile |
| Mars | 12°53' Leo | 4 | peregrine (−5); direct, not slow; square Asc and Dsc, orb 0.11°; house changes in the sweep |
| Moon | 22°56' Aquarius | 11 | face (+1); slow; last opposition Jupiter, next trine Sun after the game; not void |
| Saturn | 10°02' Aries | 12 | fall, peregrine (−9); retrograde; Lord 10 and 11 |
| Sun | 27°34' Libra | 6 | fall, peregrine (−9); applying to Venus; square MC and IC, orb 2.14° |
| Jupiter | 22°51' Leo | 5 | triplicity, term (+5); holds no house rule here |
| Mercury | 20°18' Scorpio | 7 | peregrine (−5); slow; past the Descendant |
| Fortune | 17°37' Capricorn | 9 | night formula; the day formula gives 8°21' Virgo in the 5th |
For Washington Capitals
Dignity of Lord 7. Mars is peregrine in Leo at −5. That is poor, and the Kings' significator has no reception from Venus to lean on. This is all Washington has on the dignity count, and it is only the absence of strength on the other side.
Moon. The Moon is Lord 4, the Kings' house of success, and she is weak: the 11th house, face only (+1), counted slow. Her last aspect was the opposition to Jupiter, twelve minutes before the chart. Her next, the trine to the Sun, falls after the game. She is not void, but she brings no light to either significator inside the contest. She gives the Kings nothing, which is a small point for Washington.
Angles. Mars is square both the Ascendant and the Descendant, orb 0.11°. That afflicts Washington's own house, but it strikes the Kings' house with the same force and Mars is their lord. The testimony cuts both ways. Mars's house also changes inside the sweep, so nothing is built on it.
For Los Angeles Kings
Reception. Venus sits in Scorpio, the domicile of Mars. Lord 1 is therefore in Lord 7's power, and the table shows no return, so the reception is one-way. The Washington significator is a guest in the Kings' house. This is the strongest testimony in the chart.
Essential dignity. Venus is in detriment and peregrine at −10. Mars is peregrine at −5. Neither is dignified, but the Kings' significator stands five points better. Mars is also direct and not slow, where Venus is retrograde and slow.
Combustion. Venus is combust, with the Sun in fall applying to the conjunction, orb 5.11°. She is also in the 6th house, 10.3° before the Descendant, so she is not angular. A combust, retrograde Lord 1 in detriment in the 6th is as damaged as a significator gets. The Sun leaves Libra in 2.4 days, after the game, so it does not relieve her in time.
House of success. Saturn, Lord 10 and so Washington's success, is in the 12th, retrograde and in fall (−9). Its separating trine to Mars changes nothing for Washington. The Sun's square to the MC and IC touches both houses of success, so it leaves the balance alone.
Judgment. The chart favours the Kings. Washington's significator is combust, in detriment, retrograde and in the Kings' own sign, and its lord of success lies fallen in the 12th. Mars is no better than peregrine, which keeps the margin short of a rout.
