Super Bowl 42

1
No Predictions for Super Sunday, the closet thing to non-religious, non-governmental holiday in the US? Tsk Tsk

New England Patriots (Favorite) vs NY Giants (underdog
Scheduled Kickoff (which may actually take place 30 or so minutes later)

4:17 PM MST + 7 hours
Phoenix AZ USA
23 Cancer 46 rises

I?m going to begin with the official starting time 4:17 PM MST = 7 Hours.

23 Cancer rises. 11 Aries is on the MC. JF tells us that a) he is rarely confident with charts like this, and b) if we must use the Moon as flow of the game and use their ruler of the Moon, but that is Saturn, The Giants? significator. We could use the exaltation ruler of Cancer, but that favors the Pats so we won?t. ;-) So the Pats are Mars as they are the favorites; the Giants, get Saturn, lord 7 and Venus lady of the 4th.

1. None of the significators are close to an angle.
2. None of the antiscia of any of the significators is close to an angle, but the Saturn (Giants) antiscion is in the 10th.
3. The ruler of the POF, Mercury is not in an angle, nor is his antiscion.
4. The Moon shows only one aspect a bodily conjunction to Jupiter, but Jupiter rules the 6th or Giants 12th and the 9th or Giants 3rd.
5. Mercury is the ruler of the POF and Mercury is combust as well as tightly conjunct Neptune.

There is nothing much happening here, so the judgment would be the favorite wins.

If the per game hoopla continues and kickoff occurs 30 minutes later, the ASC changes to Leo giving the Pats the Sun. However nothing much changes besides that. The only hope for the Giants is that the POF might ever so slightly favor the favorites and its ruler is in bad shape, but that testimony does not seem to be anywhere near enough to overcome a 12 point deficit. It looks like curtains for America?s most beloved team.

I know nothing of American Football, apart from you dont really use your foot!

From the info that I can gather, New York Giants head coach, Tom Coughin, is a Leo rising, with Saturn conjunct Sun in aspect.
Their general manager, Jerry Reese, Capricorn rising. Mercury conjunct Saturn in aspect.

Guys for other team did not look well.

Practical: Patriots are unbeaten all season.

Prediction: NEW YORK GIANTS to win.
Best price is 4/1.


Anyone got an accurate time for either coach?

Sure you do, you have to run ;-) but only one or two guys on the team actually kick the damn ball, which is of an odd shape and bounces crazily when it moves on the ground where it shouldn't be. The ball is more often carried, thrown, and caught than kicked. The game is closer to rugby than it is to soccer despite the name "football." The scoring system is odd, substitution is unlimited resulting two teams full of specialists, and the actual amount of playing action in a one-hour game is less than 20 minutes. It was once considered violent enough that there was a movment to make playing illegal!

The Super Bowl has become a social event unlike any other. People have Super Bowl parties and host dozens or more and most of those people never watch the game. They just like parties. This does not include the tens of thousands of people who flock to the city where the game will be played with no hope of getting a ticket, just to watch it on TV in the host city. I understand it is also a big pay day for prostitutes, as well. And gambling? Well gambling is illegal in most of the US so we know that doesn't happen.

Here's hoping you're right!

Some prostitutes will be getting a big pay day from me if I win that one. :D Great being single!

This will be the biggest watched sports event of all time, but still, I will not watch. Good for either team really...Patriots win to remain unbeaten all season, while the Giants could well upset the odds.

Thanks for the explanation Tom. Yes, it appears they do use their feet for something. Case justified then 8)

Rough and tumble, lots of men jumping at the waist of another man, is not my ideal sport.

As sports go this is one of specialists. Teams place people all over the stadium to radio information to the sidelines, the coaches call the plays for the quarterbacks and the defensive teams as well. They use computers to figure the odds of a particular play suceeding. Its come a long, long way from the 1950s when the Baltimore Colts, having none of today's technology, coached by Weeb Ewbank, were in a tough situation at the end of the game and were waiting instructions. A player ran in to the huddle and announced: "Weeb says score a touchdown*." Duh

There are guys who only kick the ball, guys who never touch the ball, guys whose specialty is catching the ball and others who usually only run with the ball. It's becoming a living computer game.

As a game it is fun to watch and can be exciting. Watch up close and the usual first thought is how can such big men move so fast? Still it's become more mechanical than sporting. It's not my favorite sport, but this is always a fun day.

*Legendary quarterback Johnny Unitas called the play and did just that.

Because thay will wear white jersys I will asign ASc to Giants(quote appropriate with Can ASC) and DSc to Patriots(I surmise Patriots will wear dark color yarsys, quote appropriate with Cap on DSC).

If we count accidental dignities we get for
Moon=-2
Sa=2

Because this is small differnce we add essential dignities and get for:
Moon=-12
Sa=2
So, to me it seams that DSC team, Patriots will win again.

It is an eyebrow-raiser. Wildly popular in some fern bars.
:D

Probably in some pubs around Leeds too!
