Asc 11 Libra, 10:22am, 14th August 2017, Montreal, Quebec. Will we win?
My son wanted to know if he and his team would win this kids’ basketball game. They were fighting to win the season’s championship, so this was important!
His team is signified by Venus, the ruler of the Ascendant. The opposing team is signified by Mars, the ruler of the 7th house.
Which will perform best and which will win?
Venus conjuncts the Midheaven, the highest position in the sky and the most powerful place in a chart about a contest. Venus, by reception, brings Mars into its fall: the client’s team brings its enemy down.
Mars is heavily afflicted by being combust. This means it is too close to the Sun, which burns it. This is one of the most serious of afflictions. This alone would be clear evidence that Mars will lose – but we also have the powerful testimony of Venus on the Midheaven, showing that Venus will win.
What happened?
Venus did win. The performance of the enemy team was so weak that at the end my son’s team was asked not to defend anymore so the enemy could score some goals. But even then they could hardly score.
