Wrong! VCU wins

I have just checked game results and VCU beat Kansas by ten points!  This was another big upset in a tournament full of them so far.

The question for us now is, how is this win by the underdog VCU team shown in the chart?  Following the rules in Sports Astrology, I was counting on the Moon's final aspect with Mars signifying a win for Kansas, the heavy favorites.  This should have held true, but for some reason in this game it did not.  I have no answer for why, but I can still look for other testimonies of a VCU win.  And there is one.

We weren't sure which planet signified Kansas due to Cancer being on the Ascendant (please see previous post).  However, it is clear which planet signifies VCU, and that is Saturn as Lord 7.  Saturn is sitting very near the 4th house cusp, which is its 'prize,' meaning a win.  A planet on the cusp controls that house.  Therefore, VCU controls its own prize, and they win the game.

Another possible testimony is Fortuna (the Part of Fortune) being in Taurus, which is ruled by Venus, our Lord 4 (VCU prize).  In tip-off event charts the dispositor of Fortuna is not supposed to be relevant, but here it seems to be.

I will be back with a prediction on the final game of the tournament, which will be Monday April 4.  Until then, happy game watching!

Kansas vs. VCU (NCAA Tournament)

Breaking News in Madison

At 6:10 p.m. this evening the Wisconin Senate (sans Democrats) found a way to pass the budget bill that will end most collective bargaining rights for public employee unions in the state.  This is the first substantive action the government has taken since the minority Democratic senators left the state on Feb 17.

Almost two weeks ago I asked a horary question, "Will the Budget Bill Pass?" (Feb 25, 2011, 5:35 p.m. Milwaukee, WI):

I had difficulty reading this chart because I'd asked the question myself--never recommended.  What was I really asking?  I have a stake in this issue because I am a public employee member of a union.  However, I am not happy with how my union handled some issues in my workplace.  The leadership also seems very entrenched in an "us vs. them" ideology that I don't feel serves us public workers under current conditions.  So you can see that my personal feelings on this issue are mixed. 

One thing I saw clearly in this chart: Mercury, representing the state government as Lord 10, is combust.  As we know, combust means destroyed.  The state government was at a standstill when I asked the question.  I do recall coming to the conclusion that the impasse would continue until Mercury moved into Aries. 

Well, guess what?  That happened today!  Mercury moved into Aries and soon after, the Senate made a highly controversial move and found a way to pass the bill without the Democrats.

As I write this, demonstrators are gathering at the Capitol.  Seems we're in for an all-night protest and Heaven knows what tomorrow.  Everyone in Wisconsin is tuning in as we watch history unfold before our eyes.
