Astrology and Football: What the Stars Reveal About the Vikings’ Preseason Challenges
Anticipation for the new season has just begun to build, and yet one team already faces a host of daunting issues. Over the last five weeks, they've dealt with the tragic death of a rookie cornerback, a DUI arrest for a starter wide receiver, injuries to a number of key players, and going ahead to lose their first-round quarterback for the season. With all this unfolding before the first game, fans are left wondering: What's going on?
Perhaps astrology might hold a few clues to such happenings. Let's now see exactly how the stars might be dictating influences on their rough preseason.
The Solar Eclipse in Aries and Natal Uranus in Leo
Recently, a solar eclipse in Aries exactly trined the team's natal Uranus retrograde in Leo. In astrological symbology, a solar eclipse = potent though sometimes sudden change; and as it trines - so to speak, sends a clear smooth energy toward another planet through 120 degrees - that planet experiences the solar shift directly.
Uranus is the planet of surprise and unpredictability-a powerful influence when retrograde and placed in a person's natal chart. The trine indicates that advances happening to the team have been punctuated by sharp, sudden discontinuities. Though trines are usually considered positive, when involving Uranus, the effects can still be shockingly disorienting. What has befallen the team correlates quite well with the nature of Uranus.
What's Next? The Eclipse in Pisces and Its Challenges
The team is going to face another critical astrological event going forward: the eclipse in Pisces opposes its natal North Node in Virgo and squares its Jupiter. First of all, the North Node can be defined as a symbol of growth and a purpose that is intended for this team, while Jupiter is the symbol of expansion, luck, and success. An opposition from the eclipse suggests that the team's forward momentum could meet very strong roadblocks, while the square to Jupiter implies that their usual strengths will be under exceptional pressure.
Adding another dimension to the picture, the team is currently experiencing a Jupiter opposition as transiting Jupiter in Gemini is opposite their natal Jupiter in Sagittarius. This transit often comes with a review period wherein past strategies are challenged and new ones need time to adjust.
The Road Forward: A Moment of Grit
The associated influences of these planets appear to presage that the team would remain disturbed during the unfolding season. The next eclipse building up in conjunction with the prevailing opposition of Jupiter in Pisces warns that disruptions are likely to take place again shortly, possibly by way of injuries or failures. Just a reminder, eclipses impact the general situation over 6 months period.
Yet, there also lies an excellent opportunity within these challenges. If the team can tide over these rough waters skillfully, it might just come out stronger and more together. This could be the season that would prove their mettle and adaptability, and which would ultimately shed off a determined and boundlessly cohesive matrix of teammates.
It is a terribly important time for the fans: the time in which they stand by the team through highs and lows. While astrology suggests what all is happening, the real season will be formed by the response of the team. So buckle up, as this season is going to take you on the ride of your life.
