Welcome to Ken Hopkins' Sportsastrologer.Com--------------------------------------------------------- A Giant Giant Win? Looking at Mercury trends for Super Bowl 46, there are indications that the New York Giants(who actually play in New Jersey) will jump on the Patriots early in this one. We have been blessed with close games more frequently than not since the last real "Super" blowout in 2003 when Tampa Bay took Oakland to the woodshed 48-21. Five of those eight contests since have ended with the victor scoring six points or less over their opponent. Mercury is 15 Aquarius 32 and there are no previous games within an advancing orb, but the declination (-18.09) offers five games within 20 minutes of a degree for the Giants as an underdog and they have performed well averaging a score of 24-15 and 4-0-1 against the spread. The Patriots have no games within that same 20 minute orb as a favorite. Sometimes making a prediction when only one teams has orb samplings doesn't turn out well but after looking at some of the game day declinational transits I'm definitely going with the Giants. Examining the game charts of the quarterbacks and coaches. I will share what I have found employing the use of declinational transits. I'm still testing these so feel free to test any and all theories. The Giants' quarterback, Eli Manning has the game transiting MC and natal north node declination nearly parallel at kickoff. Whenever planets and major points parallel the north node natal declination point, the harvest is underway and it's prolific. Coach Tom Caughlin also has the transiting MC contact his natal north node placement with a parallel late in the 2nd quarter. (When looking at the displayed game charts for keep in mind the game is slated to kick off at 6:30pm but it seems like it's usually about 7 minutes after that. Normally NFL games are approximately 3 hours in length including halftime. Super Bowl halftimes and other fringe programming ingredients will make this game at least 3 1/2 hours and maybe a little longer. To read the game chart you're going to look at the 18 column a little more than midway to 19. All natal chart placements are on the right margin and the transiting planets and points start on the left. The transiting Moon is also heading for a parallel union with Eli's natal north node declination as the end of the day approaches. I would interpret that as a great end to the day. Maybe even the game MVP award? (Eli: Jan 3, 1981 at New Orleans, La., time unknown) The lines that are most prominent are the transiting ASC and MC. The MC will most likely have more influence.
On the other side New England Patriot quarterback Tom Brady starts the game with transiting MC parallel Saturn. Sometimes this parallel is not all bad as the natural chart MC(10th house cusp) is ruled by Saturn. Looking at Brady's chart(Aug 3, 1977 11:48am San Mateo, Cal) He has natal Jupiter near the natal MC along with Mars and Venus parallel the natal MC. This combination probably explains Brady's career success which spans many years but this Super Bowl the transiting lunar south node is parallel all of the beneficial natal placements which can negate the positive influences.
Giant head coach Tom Caughlin also has a favorable transit of the MC to natal north node. (Aug 31, 1946 Waterloo,NY-no verified time) Caughlin also has natal Uranus and Pluto parallel as does Belichick, however coach Tom has his natal north node there as well to neutralize transiting south node while Belichick does not.
Patriot head coach Bill Belichick(Apr 16, 1952 Nashville,Tn-no verified time) The transiting MC comes close to an exact parallel with natal Uranus and Pluto.
SUPER BOWL PREDICTION: SCORE: 27-10 WINNER: New York Giants
NFL PLAYOFF PREDICTIONS: In looking at today's games using Mercury trends, I
am stymied! The trends using Mercury declinations would have been 4-0
last week in picking winners. This week that same look indicates wins
by the underdogs, Baltimore over New England and the New York Giants
over San Francisco.[This was the case versus
the betting line-the Giants were getting points they didn't need and
the Ravens lost by less than the seven points they were getting]
If I look at the Mercury longitudinal motion, the
opposite is indicated. Mercury is in Capricorn at 22 degrees longitude
and -23.07 declination. Often the two disciplines point toward the
same direction but not this time. If I employ the theory of past games
against the same opponent the I would have to go with the Forty-Niners
as they defeated the Giants at Candlestick in 1982 when Mercury was 27
degrees and a 6-point favorite 38-24. In fact the Niners have hosted
the Giants five times in the playoffs winning four. The only loss was
by two 15-13 January 20, 1991. Weather could make this one
interesting. Bad weather usually favors the underdog. I will go with
the 49ers to win by a score of 20-17.
--------------------------------------------------------- From the past..... 2009 PRESEASON PREDICTION: New Orleans——This
team could be the divisional surprise.
The progressed Moon
has a visit to the North
Node which often leads to success. Look for the month of
October to produce some Saintly surprises. With this division there
seems to be a
different winner every year and often it’s a team from
last place the year previously.
There
could be a favorable Breeze in the Big Easy. New Orleans Saints September 17, 1967(1st NFL game) The Saints cashed in on the North Node vibration that many championship winners have done. It seems to be a very strong influence that boosts performance for a season or period of time. For those who may be new to astrology, looking at the graph below, the north node is represented by the symbol immediately to the right of the 10 degree mark on the upper left. The glyph for Jupiter that looks like a fancy number "4" (in red) is just above. The progressed Moon is in blue and starts at the 23rd degree on the upper left at the beginning of 2007 moving at a downward angle across the page. The progressed moon, that has a 28-year cycle, crossed or formed a parallel with the north node in the 2nd quarter of 2009. The Moon then crosses the natal declination point of Venus the middle of the 1st quarter of 2010 and will contact several other planets toward the end of 2010. It is very likely that the Saints will not experience as much success this next season and may not even make the playoffs. This is the second consecutive year a team has made it to the Super Bowl after the progressed moon parallel to the north node. scroll down past the graph below.
Arizona Cardinals Oct 1, 1922(first NFL game) The Arizona Cardinals had their parallel with the north node in the 3rd quarter of 2008 and doesn't have another parallel until the end of 2012. This period could produce playoff teams every year until 2012. (In the graph below, the progressed north node is a couple of degrees above the 0 degree mark on the left. The progressed nn is the represented as a solid line and the natal nn is represented by a dotted line at the 0-degree line with the natal glyph displayed on the right.)

The NFL Playoffs, Conference Championships Sportsastrologer Prediction Summary: The wildcard round of playoffs came up with a 4-0 record vs the betting line and 3-1 picking the winners straight up. The divisional round produced 2-2 record picking the winners and vs the line and 1-1 in the conference championships, which amounts to a 6-4 mark picking winning teams and 6-4 against the spread. The Jets were my play and if we had ended the game at halftime I would have looked great. The Saints missed a line cover by a point but the "W" ended up on the chosen side. Using astrology as a predicting tool requires constant monitoring and testing various hypothesis. This past year I have been researching lunar phases and there has been some real promise.
