SUPER BOWL 2007 Indianapolis(-7.0) vs Chicago

The most diverse influences visible for Super Bowl 41 are in the charts of the quarterbacks. On the surface there seems to be no comparison as the Colts' Peyton Manning has years of experience and Chicago's Rex Grossman basically has completed his first full season in the NFL. Grossman has talent, but is short on big game experience. The following two transit graphic charts reveal the fortunes of the two quarterbacks.

Rex Grossman: Aug 23, 1980 12 noon, Bloomington, IN   The two lines you see are the transiting MC(Midheaven) and ASC(Ascendant) The MC forms parallels with Venus in the first half --within the first half of the game and later in the game, the vertex is paralleled. The transiting Ascendant hits Jupiter and then on to Saturn. the influences both point toward success in the first half of the game and less than success in the latter portion of the game. [The natal declinations are on the right side of the chart]

Peyton Manning, March 24, 1976 12 Noon, New Orleans, La.  Transiting MC: parallels Saturn in the first half. Transiting ASC:  parallels Pluto at the very beginning , then Jupiter in the first half. In the second half, The Sun, MC and Mercury.  Manning had his worst half in the first with an interception. The second half was productive.  This is the first time I have looked at a game in this manner. I believe it deserves more research and we shall do so in future big games.

This Super Bowl has been one of the most difficult to predict using past results of road games with Mercury, Lunar cycles along with the rising sign. Both teams lose frequently in these past trends and the Colts were seldom a favorite so there isn't a lot to go on. I would summarize the past games as being inconclusive but the Bears show just a few closer games when they were the underdog. I think the winner can be found in the graphic charts. First, we'll look at the secondary progressed graphic charts. For those who are taking the declination class, I will review the steps you need to take to get these graphic charts with Solarfire in a future session.

The next chart is a declination chart for all day Sunday, February 4th. The game is scheduled for kickoff at approximately 6:30pm or 18:30. The game would normally be completed in about 4 hours or by 22:30. Something that might be notable or worth observing is the transiting Moon paralleling the lunar south node just about halftime(19:30). I am aware there is a possibility of thunderstorms in the forecast. I don't recall a stoppage in any Super Bowl game due to weather or any other influence. I haven't gone back to see of this declinational aspect has happened during previous Super Bowls. I did look at last year and there was no such dynamic for the game. Obviously terrorist threats are always something we should be aware of these days, but we'll affirm if there is an interruption in the game, may it be weather related.

Indianapolis Colts 1st gm: Sep 27, 1953 Baltimore, Md

The Colts have the progressed Moon forming a parallel with the progressed south lunar node about the first of the year. I have noticed that lunar hits on the SN sometimes are similar to the north node hits. The Moon now is headed for Uranus, Pluto and Jupiter, quite a combination. It's definitely an "electric" time for Peyton Manning, Tony Dungee and the rest of the Colts following, but is it enough for a Super Bowl win? Often the winning teams have the moon at an extreme and the Colts are close to the northern extreme.

Chicago Bears 1st gm: Oct 1, 1922  1pm CDT Chicago 

Da Bears had a progressed lunar parallel with progressed Saturn at the beginning of the season. Normally this parallel coincides with a "stopping" or restriction however after closer analysis(check the natal declinations on the right of the screen) and you will notice that progressed Saturn is exactly parallel the MC which may well be the strongest positive //one can find with Saturn. That energy is carried with the lunar motion toward the natal Sun declination in March.  (Remember all natal declinations are noted on the right of the graphic chart connected to a dotted line across the page going left. The progressed placements are listed on the left of the page and have solid lines).  

I don't usually need to go to the transiting declinations but the graph below may be the most revealing in helping us pick a winner. This is the Bears' transiting declination chart for the football season. Notice the transiting lunar north node is heading for a parallel with the natal MC declination. This reinforces another trend you'll see in Chicago's coach, Lovie Smith. There's also a boost from transiting Mars as it is near parallel to the natal ascendant.

The transit graphic declination chart for the Colts has as it's most exact parallel is Uranus  to natal Neptune which appears to be exact for the first few days in February. It will be interesting to watch the game to see if their might be a major mental error that leads to a Bear victory. It could manifest in a faulty game plan or perhaps an extremely efficient game plan for the opponent that leaves the Colts in a cloud.

THE COACHES

Tony Dungee: The Colt's leader is experiencing a progressed moon parallel to natal Jupiter which by itself is a very nice aspect. It is more like going to win Tony the AFC "Coach of the Year" award. If his opponent didn't have a stronger influence, the Moon // Jupiter might do the job but that's not the case.  NOTE: Steve Nash the all-star point guard of the Phoenix Suns has won an MVP(most valuable player) award the last two years and he has been experiencing a progressed Moon parallel to the natal and the progressed declination of Jupiter.

Lovie Smith: The most prominent "hit" in Lovie's chart is progressed Moon parallel the natal north node. This is a signature of champions. A terrific influence! If you have followed some of the champions in the past on this website you have seen my writings on the Moon-north node progressed parallel. Watch this as you study individuals or teams in the future.

There you have a look at Super Bowl 2007. I have pin pointed some celestial events to track. Both teams have influences indicating a successful year. Now we'll see how the energies unfold.

NFL Predictions

AFC

East Each year as of late, many fans seem to be expecting the Patriots to surrender their grip on the AFC East. Each year all but New England fans remain disappointed. It's another year and who will be the one to overtake the Pats? Nobody!

New England: The Patriots are experiencing a progressed lunar out-of-bounds in the southern extreme. It's a strong placement although the lunar northern extreme seems to prevail when teams with one of each face one another. No other team has the northern extreme so it looks like more playoff action for the Billichick crew. The Pats also have a progressed Mars forming a parallel with the natal north node.

Miami: The Dolphins have more "fated" parallels with the progressed Moon paralleling the natal Moon and vertex(VTX). The progressed Sun is also // the progressed VTX. Miami seems to be putting things together. Sometimes the vertex hits can be a team as "the chosen ones" or unforseen obstacles present themselves. Is Culpepper "really" back?

New York Jets: The progressed Moon is // progressed Mars and progressed Mercury is // natal Mercury. If the Jets could get through a season without debilitating injuries, they might be in the playoffs. The Moon-Mars parallel is an energy so hard to channel. There is a tendency for this type of energy to manifest in an expanding DL. Pennington will not be the quarterback now or in the future if he can't shake the injury jinx.

Buffalo: progressed Mercury // natal Saturn, progressed ASC // Saturn and progressed Sun //pNeptune. Saturn has a reputation of playing the stopper or acting as a wall. The Bills have already been there, but the seems to be a lot of confusion on the horizon. I just don't see the Bills showing much improvement this season.

North The Steelers should be the cream of the crop...again. They just reload each year after losing a couple of players and keep on winning. The Bengals have a loud mouth but that's not enough to get them to the top. They need an arm! Carson Palmer is a big question mark but sometime question marks do lead to answers. The big cats could slip into the playoffs but I don't seem them being "top dog". 

Pittsburgh: The Steelers are just about in the middle of a three-year out-of-bounds lunar northern extreme. The last time this happened, they won back-to-back Super Bowls. Although there has been some changes in personnel and a new bus needs to come out of the garage, the energy is there in the celestial skies. Rothlisberger has been through a progressed Moon parallel Pluto coinciding with his motorcycle incident. Pluto is a transforming energy. The transformation could evolve a couple of ways. Big Ben could fade into the sunset or show a new commitment that will take him and the Steelers to new heights. One thing for sure is that his perception of the value of life has been changed forever.

Cincinnati: The Bengals had one Super Bowl season when the Moon was at an extreme year as it is now. It's doubtful the talent is there or healthy enough to make a "Super" run. There's one major progressed parallel this season. The Moon hits the Ascendant about November 15th. There could be some changes in the "appearance" of the Bengals. Whether injuries are the reason remains to be seen.

Baltimore: The Ravens had the progressed Moon cross the declination of the sun (similar to a new moon) earlier this year but that may not have enough lingering vibration to get this team to the playoffs. The acquisition of McNair could mean new beginnings for the Ravens.

Cleveland: The Browns have no connecting energies by progression this season. This usually does not bode well for a winning season.

South: Is this the year that Peyton's place drops a notch? The Colts may have lost an "Edge" over the Jaguars. The Texans are ready to start making a move while the Titans are in a titannic free fall. 

Jacksonville: pMoon is nearing an extreme and the team has its progressed Ascendant forming a tight parallel with Jupiter, Neptune and Uranus. This aspect should play a part in getting this team to the playoffs the next four consecutive years. The year(2008) is the time this team could go the farthest.

Indianapolis: pMoon//pPluto and natal Pluto, pMC//pSouth Node. Colts could cross the finish line first again, but the previous influences point toward some changes in the team. Injuries could play a major part. This could make room for the stalking cats from J'ville. 

Houston: pMoon //SN, Moon//MC early next year and the Moon is nearing an out-of-bounds position in the south. An outside shot at making the playoffs this year. David Carr may gain some recognition for his accomplishments this year.

Tennessee: Still recovering from Moon // Neptune. Neptune is a very diffuse and nebulous influence. This describes the Titans and how they've handled their biggest stars the last couple of years(George and McNair). This team is going nowhere after the regular season except maybe to the TV room to watch the playoffs. Vince Young has much to learn although he does have the progressed Moon at the northern extreme. He could put up some big numbers this year but interceptions won't help matters. Volek would be the better choice to start but this team is in a cloud.

West It could be a competitive division if the Broncos falter just a little, but don't hold your breath. The Chargers may have the best running attack of the challengers. The Chiefs are re-defining their running game, and the Raiders have been busy trying to find the word in the dictionary. Denver has the horses!

Denver: The Moon is at the southern extreme // the pMC, pVTX is //Neptune and pVenus //Saturn. The Broncos made the Moon-MC parallel work for them last year and should this year as well. I'm not sure the other energies involved will take this team through the playoffs to the promised land but they should at least be playing in January next year.

Kansas City: Moon //pMC, pVenus //Neptune. The Moon-MC parallel works for Denver because it is a long-term influence. The parallel for the Chiefs lasts just a few weeks and was exact earlier in the year. The Neptune influence is usually fuzzy and one of confusion, so probably not this year for post-season play.

San Diego: Moon//Venus near the end of December. Venus is not usually an energy that coincides with on-the-field success. It may take a while for Rivers to get the team to the playoffs.

Oakland: The moon has no parallels this year. There is some merging energy similar to the Bills but there needs to be a planet catalyst and it's not there this year. 

Playoff Teams: New England, Pittsburgh, NY Jets, Indianapolis, Jacksonville, Denver.

AFC Championship: Pittsburgh over Jacksonville or Denver...again.

NFC

East: The Giants certainly seem like a team on the rise. The progressed planetary influences point toward a divisional championship. The Eagles certainly have some talent onboard but the birds may lack the cohesiveness and direction this year. The Cowboys on paper look to  be good enough to get into the playoffs but something is not right. Terrell Owens has an opportunity to show that he is the proverbial straw that mixes the drink, or is he the hemlock additive that spells doom down on the ranch. The Redskins are seemingly ready to be an annual playoff team, but can they stay away from injuries this year?

New York Giants: The Big Guys have the pMoon //pNN,PL. The North Node hit does frequently coincide with championships. Manning is learning and their is a strong supporting cast on both sides of the ball. And speaking of casts, if the huge ones can keep the use of casts to a minimum, it could be a special year. November is the defining month for this team and Eli has a lot going for him into the middle of December which could mean the playoffs will be secure by then.

Philadelphia: No Connected Energies(NCE)The Eagles don't have any connecting energies with the progressed Moon this year and Donovan McNabb doesn't seem to have much going for him either. I'm not sure how to interpret this but I would say it's not good for a championship.

Dallas: p Vertex // NeptuneThe Cowboys as a team could have some unsure and unclear times coming this year. Bledsoe has an out-of-bounds Moon this year and for the next three as well. This condition occurs when the Moon exceeds the declination distance the Sun can be(23degrees 26 minutes). It often creates a playing field above and beyond the norm. Sometimes the results are favorable and sometimes not, but the public seems to be part of or very aware of what's happening. Could TO poison this team with a new spurt of verbal venom?

Washington: PMoon // Ascendant, Neptune. The Skins seem to be back with the surge at the end of last season that carried them into the playoffs.  Much attention could be focused on injuries this year. That would probably be the only thing that would keep them out of the playoffs.

North: The black and blue division of old maybe getting those colors from teams outside of the division this year. It doesn't look to be a runaway for the divisional winner. Da Bears have the most going for them but this race will probably be undecided until late in the season.

Chicago: Moon//natal Saturn, pSaturn//natal MC, pSun //natal Ascendant, pVTX near // SN, natal Saturn. Rex Grossman experiences some decent transits for the season and Brian Griese has some very positive events at the end of the regular season. If Griese makes a major contribution, it'll be toward the end of the year. 

Minnesota: Moon??// end of Dec, Moon//pNN September, pMars, MC //nMoon. I wonder if this will be Johnson's last year? He has a Moon //Sun that has the effect of a new moon or new beginning. There are some other energies showing in November that will be challenging. The Vikings may need to find the QB that can be in charge for years to come. 

Green Bay: Moon??pNN end of December, pMercury ??natal Mercury, pVTX //n Mars at end of the season. Most expect this to be Bret Favre's farewell year. Hopefully it will be better statistically than last year and will result in a few more win's. This team is in transition. Favre has some Jupiter hits in October on that may help him.

Detroit: Moon//nSun in December. Not much happening here. The top two quarterbacks, Jon Kitna and Josh McCown will probably be interchangeable throughout the season, meaning neither will have an outstanding year. Maybe the Lions will discover what they want to be when they grow up. The team is likely to begin to gel but it will probably be too late for this year, but look out in 2007!

South This division will be the most competitive and balanced. Every member can beat up on the other three anytime. In fact any team that wins more divisional games than they lose should be the champion, but this group could all finish 4-4. The Bucs seem to have the best celestial influences with the Panthers close behind. This division has the best group of quality quarterbacks in the NFL!

Tampa Bay: Moon//Jupiter end of December. Chris Simms probably has more celestial dynamics going on than any other projected starting QB in the division. It could translate into wins. Simms especially has Saturn transiting to a parallel with the North Node in October and November, the two months that will define the season for Simms and his team.

Carolina: pMC//nSun, Venus. Jake Delhomme has led this team to the big game before and could again. This year he picks up some more Jupiter vibes at the end of the season. He's been feeling Jupiter the last few years. I would not be surprised to see the cats in the playoffs again. 

Atlanta: Moon at southern extreme in bounds in November. If Vick were to be healthy the entire season, would the Falcons make the playoffs? Michael has Jupiter //Moon and Uranus in late October and Saturn joining the north node in October and November. 

New Orleans: Moon OOB at beginning of season, in bounds in November, pUranus??MC, Saturn. From the big breeze to Drew brees, the Saints will be marching on at home this year. It's great for attendance to have lots of hope in the backfield with Brees and Bush. If and when the supporting cast is there, this team could have some great moments. How many of those moments will be this year remains to be seen. Brees' best could be at the end of the season. Speaking of Bush, he will be showing his stuff works in the NFL too.

West The Seahawks will be tough the next two years. They could actually be in the conference championship and Super Bowl three consecutive years. Unlike the Buffalo Bills who went three times and then one, the 'Hawks might be able to bring the SB Trophy home once. The Cardinals will certainly be improved and might make the playoffs. The 49ers will show improvement as well while the Rams will be floundering this season.

Seattle: Moon//Jupiter the end of December. Matt Hasselbeck has his best period of performance in November. The team vibes are so strong, he is along for the ride. His job is not to win, but to not lose games by poor choices.

Arizona: Moon//Mars, pMercury//pMC. Kurt Warner could have a remarkable year if he stays healthy. The last half of September appears to be significant for Warner as does a period in November.    

San Francisco: Moon//nSun  Not sure if the 49ers can win eight or more this year, but Alex Smith is ready for a breakout year! If he avoids injury, he'll be one of the success stories of the NFL this season.   

St. Louis: Moon//SN The situation in Budweiser City is not good. The vibes just aren't there for Bulger or the Rams.

Playoff Teams: NY Giants, Chicago, Tampa Bay, Carolina, Seattle, Arizona

NFC Championship: Seattle over Carolina

Super Bowl: Pittsburgh over Seattle(again)
