Alex Uber. Brief review of the book by J. Frawley "Sports Astrology"

To date, the base of scientific and practical research in the field of sports astrology is clearly insufficiently developed. In the available professional Russian-language literature, there are practically no works reflecting the ideology and statistics on this issue. The first attempt in this direction can only be called the unfinished book of A. Ladayev.
Of the applied materials, the most interesting are the book by J. Frawley "Sports Astrology" (M.: Urania, 2010) and the articles by O. Gorokhov "Astrology of Sports" and "Cosmos of Sports". The value of these works is that they, with varying degrees of completeness, consider the predictive capabilities of astrology for different types sports. When it comes to football, both authors prioritize it, although they show different approaches.

sports astrology Frawley largely comes from the rules of medieval horary astrology Guido Bonatti to predict the outcome of military battles. The principle of rivalry underlying these rules, J. Frawley uses not only to answer the question of which team will win, but also to distribute the corners of the match map between the teams - the attacking side (host-favorite) and the opponent (guest-outsider) . A distinctive feature of Frawley's method is that he introduces the antises of Fortune and the ruling planets into the arsenal of tools for his analysis, emphasizing the aspects of the Moon converging with them in an orb of 5 degrees.

O. Gorokhov also uses the principle of confrontation between "opponents" to distribute the corners in the map of a football match. However, before considering all the elements of the map, he studies the so-called main background "filters" - the map of the first match played by the team in the season, and the energy game day, which, in his opinion, is determined by the ratio of the lower and upper hemispheres of the chart, the dominance of the air element and the position of the Moon in the signs and quadrants of the houses of the horoscope. This is the main fundamental difference of his method. “If a card doesn’t look credible for a favorite, it doesn’t mean much.- says Gorokhov. - He is capable of winning! But if the favorite is “not allowed through” by the first two filters, maybe you should not bet on it today?” In addition, among the considered elements of the chart, he introduces the fictitious planet Lilith, which is not recognized by many astrologers, and this is the second radical difference in his approach.

Noteworthy are a number of completely original author's approaches presented by the works of R. Susi, V. Kovrigina And K. Peresmenkina. In the first case, this is a collection of football events predictions made using ACG, a local horoscope and geodetic maps. V. Kovrigin in the article "Methods for predicting the outcome of sports competitions" as a prognostic technique suggests considering the transits of planets at the start of a football match to significant points on the stadium map at the time of its opening. The works of K. Peresmenkin are devoted to the characteristics of Euro-2008 and the map of the first match of the championship.

For completeness, reference should also be made to articles A. Agafonova“The UEFA Cup Final and the Ice Hockey World Cup Final in the Mirror of Astrology” and “The Answer to a Question about Sports Predictions”, which contain some very approximate considerations based on attempts to apply the J. Frawley method in practice. However, as the author himself frankly says, his notes are experimental in nature, and sports astrology is quite far from his sphere of interest.

The most complete topic of sports astrology is currently being developed by the site and the sports section of the forum on the Argo-school site. B O Most of this research is devoted to the astrology of football.

characteristic feature state of the art football astrology is the lack of unity of methods and the presence in each of them of shortcomings that reduce its universality.
The most complete and complete can be called Frawley method, which allows you to determine the result of the match in two ways: ask a horary question or build a map at the beginning of the competition.
However, this method has significant limitations in its application:
- In the first case, this is a condition characteristic of horary astrology in general, which does not allow one person to set a large number of questions. In sports astrology, it turns into a mandatory requirement for the querent to have a personal interest in the victory of a certain team, that is, the need to be its fan. Therefore, although the author himself considers horary astrology the most reliable method for predicting sporting events, he also warns that it should not be abused. “If we are going to predict the results sports daily, we have to do it differently", says Frawley (p. 128).
- In the second - the use of a minimum set of elements of the match map and their strictly regulated location in the houses. But what to do if the accidental values ​​of these elements in the map do not provide the "formulas"-combinations necessary for making a forecast?... In such situations, Frawley's method looks very limited.

O. Gorokhov's method has more opportunities through the use of more analyzed components. However, it is complicated by the need for a preliminary analysis of the maps of the first matches of the season for each team and impoverished by the refusal to use antis, these, according to Frawley, “little beasts”, whose position is often decisive for making a forecast.

Methods R. Susi And V. Kovrigina seem too time-consuming and limited in their capabilities. As rightly noted, for example, V. Kovrigin, his method is just “a kind of auxiliary filter with which you can better understand the overall picture of what is happening and refine the forecast accordingly”.
A K. Peresmenkin's method aimed only at general characteristics championships, but not for predicting individual matches.

Methodology for astrological analysis of a football match card is an attempt to make up for the lack of unity of methods and universality of forecasting. It is based on the generalization and systematization of different approaches that exist today in football astrology, as well as the results of my practical observations for 3 years, and has a pronounced applied character, since it allows you to largely unify the process of predicting the outcome of a match and apply it to cards of any degree of complexity.

Mandatory conditions to use this technique are:
- building a map of a football match in the Placidus house system;
- consideration of the map as a confrontation between two opponents, designated I (Asc) and VII (Dsc) houses;
- determination of the favorite by the betting odds;
- distribution of corners according to the principle Asc - Host, Dsc - Away, regardless of their coefficients (as an exception - in international championships and derby reshuffles are possible, based on the real strength of the teams);
- the use of only converging aspects, unless otherwise specified in individual cases;
- Asc "attributes" include V and X houses, Dsc "attributes" - XI and IV houses, where X and IV houses symbolize the goal of the corresponding team;

The main differences of this technique are:
1. An extended list of analyzed indicators of the map, which includes many that are not used by other authors:
a) planets
- Chiron
b) aspect configurations
- Bisextile (with the participation of the dispositor of the PF and the ruler of the MS)
- "Synthetic triangle" with the participation of the ruler IC
- Tau-square (with the participation of the rulers Asc / Dsc, MC, Lilith)
c) aspects to and between angles (trine Asc with MC / ruler Asc,
sextile / trine of the ruler Asc with the ruler of the sign of the last lunation, etc.)
d) reception of the rulers of houses (simultaneous position of the ruler of the 1st house in the 5th house and the 5th house in the 1st)

2. Predictive performance statistics for most map indicators.
For example, the victory of a Dsc favorite (by odds or a clear leader) is indicated by:
Sun on Dsc 100%
Jupiter (Chiron) in divergent conjunction with Ic 100%
Antis PF on Dsc 100%
Venus as ruler of Ic 91%
Uranium on MS (orb 1.5) 85.7%
Moon no course 80%
Ruler IC in Quince 80%
Venus as ruler of Dsc 77%
Ruler IC in the "synthetic triangle" 75%

Undoubtedly, such statistics are far from complete and perfect, because they are based on data limited quantity kart. However, when making a forecast, it is quite possible to determine the priority of each indicator.

Algorithm for astrological analysis of a football match card consists in a sequential analysis of the map elements, systematized according to certain prognostic features and performance criteria, and then comparing them in a quantitative and qualitative ratio to make a final prediction about the outcome of the match.
To this end, all indicators of the map (for a complete list, see) are systematized and analyzed separately for each team in the following sequence:
I. Strength Asc
II. Strength Dsc
III. Favorite win:
III-a. if favorite is Asc
III-b. if the favorite is Dsc
IV. Underdog win
V. Defeat Asc
VI. Defeat Dsc
VII. Draw

This makes it possible:
- to assess in detail the potential strength of each team at the time of the match;
- identify special indications for victory and defeat;
- to carry out their comparative analysis;
- consider the presence of indications of the possibility of a draw;
- make a correct prediction by eliminating personal sympathies and emotions regarding the teams (an important factor!).

Such an astrological analysis is fundamentally different from the logic of any competent fan or bookmaker in that it provides knowledge of a number of specific factors that indicate special luck, victory or inevitable defeat. It must be said that at the same time this knowledge gives a strong temptation to draw conclusions on the basis of these specific indicators alone, thereby narrowing the possibilities of forecasting. Yes, there are maps in which a forecast can be made on the basis of one or two "unsinkable" indications. But what to do if they are not there, there is no clear emphasis on victory, the map is “muddy”, not immediately clear?

My experience suggests that in such cases, high predictive efficiency is possible only with a careful comparison of the totality of all, and not just the priority elements of the map, according to the described algorithm, no matter how time-consuming this process may seem.
It is this approach that underlies my methodology for analyzing a map of a football match.

The effectiveness of this technique when predicting the matches of the 2010 World Cup, the playoffs and the finals of the Europa League and the UEFA Champions League 2010/11 was 73%. In a sense, this is also its fundamental difference, because no other forecasting method has yet been studied for its effectiveness.
Undoubtedly, this does not give grounds to consider my method perfect. First of all, because, as Frawley says, "even infallible judgments run into distinct limitations of the astrological art itself"(p. 124). In addition, it is possible that far from all indicators and their combinations have been identified, and the statistics given in the text of the study are far from complete, since they take into account only those facts that have been encountered in my practice.
But this does not limit in any way, but, on the contrary, can stimulate further research in the field of astrological outcome prediction. football matches.

Illustrations for the application of the "Methodology ..." for example, individual matches. All predictions are made before the start of the matches and are published in the relevant sections of the forum on the websiteAstroSport.

Analysis of the football match map Metallurg Donetsk (2.4) - Tavria (3.16) 08/15/2011 17:00 (GMT)Metallurg Stadium, Donetsk

“By default”, adopted in my methodology, we give Asc to the first host team (in this match, it is also the favorite in terms of coefficients) and, first of all, we draw conclusions about the potential of the teams at the start of the match. The strength of the Asc-favorite is represented by the Moon in the 1st quadrant of houses (85.7%), the dominant lower hemisphere (74%) and the fact that ex. Asc = ex. MS (66%). The dsc outsider has no signs of strength.

Additional indications for victory: Asc has 3 "pluses" in the form of the Moon without a course (80%), the accent of the angles (67%) and the position of the Moon in the lower hemisphere (59%). Dsc has no victory factors.

Damage factors are also absent in Dsc. But Asc has a single, but decisive "minus", which sounds like a sentence: Chiron in conjunction with Asc (orbis up to 2.5 degrees) gives an unusual (or unexpected) loss of Asc with a probability of 100%.

A comparison of these data shows that although the Asc team has a clear advantage, the only but serious defeat factor makes it impossible for them to win. And the Dsc team, being completely faceless, will not lose just because Asc will not win.

Therefore, the prediction: Metallurg will not win.

The actual result of the match confirmed it: 1:3 in favor of Tavria.

Analysis of the map of the football match Genk (5.06) - Valencia (1.68)

09/13/2011 18:45 (GMT) Stadium Cristal Arena, G . Genk

Astrologically, the strength of the favorite team is Dsc insignificant, as evidenced by the Moon in the upper hemisphere (69%).

Asc-outsider Genk looks much stronger: ex. Asc is inside the 4th house (100%) and the lower hemisphere dominates (74%).

However, he does not have any indication of victory, but there are two tangible minuses that reduce his strength to nothing: the Moon is in divergent opposition to the PF (75%) and the Moon is square to the MC (66.6%).

Dsc -Favorite Valencia, on the contrary, has three indications for victory:Ex. Ic in Quicons (80%),Venus = ex. Dsc (77%),Ex. Dsc in quicons (61%).It would seem that such a situation and a tangible difference in odds (1.68 versus 5.06) decides the issue in advance in favor of Valencia. But…

She is harmed by Dsc on Via Combusta, which has been observed to prevent her from winning with an 86.6% chance. This "minus" is much more serious than that of Genk!

Therefore, the forecast: Valencia will not lose, but her Dsc win on Via Combusta is a big question.

Actual result of the match: goalless draw.

Analysis of the football match map Latvia (4.63) - Greece (1.79) 6.09.2011 18:30 ( GMT ) Stadium " Skonto ”, Riga

The map of this match is a classic example of a draw, when each team has equal indicators of strength and defeat. First of all, this is indicated by the equality of the upper and lower hemispheres of the map. And then the ratio of the potentials of the teams looks like this.

Strength of Asc - insider: Asc in trine with MC (89%), Antis PF inside the 7th house (83%), And sc in a trine with ex. A sc (71.4%).

Defeat factor - ex. Asc in Tau-square (78.6%).

Dsc Strength - Favorite: Moon in Capricorn, which is very empowering (up to victory) Dsc or an outsider (77%),Moon in the 3rd quadrant of houses (72%),Moon in the upper hemisphere (69%).

Defeat factor - PF in opposition to ex. Dsc.

There are no indications of victory for both opponents.

All together, even with a significant difference in odds, this is reliable evidence in favor of a draw.

The actual result of the match: 1:1.

Analysis of the football match map Slovenia (1.38) - Estonia (12.00) 2.09.2011 18:45 ( GMT ) Stadium " Stozice ”, Ljubljana

Approaching the prediction of this match from the point of view of sports criteria and bookmakers' assessments, it is difficult to imagine anything other than the victory of the Slovenian team. However, the astrological analysis of the chart shows a completely different alignment of forces and chances.

First of all, this is the equality of the forces of the two teams, which in itself is surprising given such a difference in their real status and odds. However, the strength of Slovenia's Asc-favorite, represented by the position of the PF dispositor in the exact conn. with Dsc and antisa PF inside the 7th house (83%), is practically balanced by the strength of the Estonian Dsc-outsider - the Moon in the 3rd quadrant of houses (72%) and in the upper hemisphere (69%).

At the same time, the chances of winning are distributed, both in quantity and quality, in favor of Estonia. Asc has one indication of victory, which gives an emphasis on angles 1-4-7 (67%), and Dsc - two: antis ex. Dsc to Asc (100%) and Moon sextile Venus as the last good aspect within 5 degrees she will do with ex. Dsc (70%).

The defeat factors also testify in favor of the outsider, since he has a negative only in the form of Dsc on Via Combusta (86.6%), while the defeat Asc they say three (!) very serious instructions:antis ex. Dsc to Asc (100%),separation of the Moon from a good aspect (in this case, from a trine) with ex. Asc (83.3%) andsquare PF with Jupiter, which means Asc won't win.

There is only one objective forecast based on astrological analysis: Dsc is able to win, in any case - will not lose, which in the language of the bookmaker's office corresponds to a bet of 2X, no matter how fantastic it may sound in relation to the Estonian national team.

The actual result of the match confirmed the correctness of astrology: 1:2. On that day in The Estonians from Ljubljana beat the Slovenians for the first time, with whom they had previously met six times.

A new rubric opens in the astrological school. It is called "Useful" and in it I will talk about various useful things that help and facilitate the learning of astrology. Including we will talk about high-quality astrological projects worthy of your attention. Today we will talk about such a project.

To begin with, the future of astrology lies in specialization (in my opinion). It is focusing on a narrow topic, its deep study, generalization of accumulated experience that leads to the qualitative development of a particular area of ​​astrology, and hence astrology as a whole. Therefore, specialized sites and forums are extremely important for development.

One such site I present to you today. This is a young, promising project, dedicated to sports astrologers and — http://astrosport.ru/

The topic of sports astrology for the modern Russian-speaking reader seems to be very vague. This is understandable - the young direction of applied astrology, which has not yet grown stronger, has not gained statistics, has not "full of bumps", is practically not represented on the Runet. Of course, one can recall separate analyzes of football matches (boxing matches, etc.) and choruses with the questions “Who will win?” on various forums. There were also separate sports sections. But, as is often the case in astrological forums, instead of doing business (that is, analyzing and predicting the results of sports fights), visitors "sorted things out." The blurring of the topic is also given by the almost complete absence of thematic literature (from the published one, only Frawley's "Sports Astrology" can be recalled).

The site "Sports Astrology", as I said, is very young. It was founded in 2011. But already now it is at least a useful thematic library for a novice sports forecaster, and ideally a platform for testing and honing your own methods. A backbone of caring and almost non-aggressive (:)) people has formed here, who prioritize not their own ambitions, but research.

Without fail, I recommend future sports astrologers to read the following articles on the site:

- "Reminder of a sports astrologer" http://astrosport.ru/publ/pamjatka_sportivnogo_astrologa/1-1-0-5 - this is so that you can imagine where you are "plunging into" :) And what you need to do to "be in the know."

- “The problem of evaluating the effectiveness of the prognostic method” - http://astrosport.ru/publ/publikacii_roman_k/problema_ocenki_ehffektivnosti_prognosticheskogo_metoda/3-1-0-9 - this is to make you understand that sports astrology is a complex area of ​​\u200b\u200bwork, which has its own problems. In order to achieve success in it, you need to work hard and understand the true state of things. However, this material should be read by everyone who is generally engaged in forecasting.

I will focus on these two articles, although there is a lot of material for study on the Sports Astrology website. But you can see this for yourself.

And here I will offer you a short interview with founder, author and administrator of this resource Anatoly Ladayev.

- Anatoly, tell me why the Sports Astrology website was created?

- In fact, exactly “for what” was not the question, it was created without a consumer purpose! Rather "why". At one time, for research purposes, I began to study maps of football matches, clubs and players. After two years of work, material has accumulated that it was reasonable to publish for a third-party view (not "blurred" by one's own judgments). And so the site was created. Over time, a group of researchers was formed on the site, which includes not only astrologers, but also experienced bookmaker players who began to study astrology. The site was created solely for research!

Sports astrology is a promising area. I will not be surprised that with certain work and results, only sports astrology has a chance to prove the viability of astrology. An absolutely objective measure is the match forecast, it does not have any artificial interpretations, including the personal attitude of an astrologer. There is a score on the scoreboard, which reflects the validity of the forecast, or its absence. To great joy, experienced astrologers began to pay more attention to sports astrology.

But after all, in this direction of astrology, as in others, there are "pitfalls". What, in your opinion, are the main difficulties in sports forecasting using astrology? And in general, is a 100% result of “hits” possible in this area?

- The biggest difficulty - as in natal astrology - is the reliability of the initial data. Matches can be contractual. This is the trouble not only of the national football of each country, but also of astrology. Since sports forecasting is still based on the natural principle wrestling. Therefore, forecasting, for example, the Russian championship is a very thankless task. The results of the forecasts are very different, say, from the English championship, in which there are much fewer scandals against the background of certain behind-the-scenes agreements. In this regard, of course, it is more interesting and more productive to predict the Champions League or the world championship of teams.

Poor preliminary preparation for collecting sports information also greatly affects the quality of the forecast. Nevertheless, the search for the signification of a certain team also comes from its characteristics. If an astrologer follows the life of teams, clubs, national teams through the print media, then it is easier for him to understand how to distribute the corner houses and which team is more Aries than Libra (for example).

I would also call a problem the personal transits of an astrologer. Sometimes negative forecasts rest against the disgusting period of the researcher himself. As well as a certain attitude of the astrologer to the team. Let's say it's much more difficult for me to predict the games of the Zenit team, since I'm a fan this club and of course I BELIEVE in the success of the team. There is little constructive beginning here. Faith gives birth to a blind man who, even in the event of defeat, does not lose his intuition and a certain self-deception. An unbiased forecast is the best thing an astrologer can do, anyone, not just a sports one.

Everything else is in the hands of the astrologer himself. With long-term participation in the study, of course, the appetite grows, and only determining the winner becomes not enough, I want to work on developing a methodology for determining the score, important events of the match. The solution of such problems, in the reverse formulation, can also indicate the winner.

100% result - of course, a utopia. Moreover, some astrologers build their methodology on the description of the nature of the match, and then on its result. It happens that a match is played sensationally, the description coincides with what the astrologer wrote, but the result let us down (a draw or a goal was scored in the last minutes from a referee's mistake). 100% result - perfect shape for research. It is almost impossible to achieve this, but we must strive. Just like no one canceled 100% of the result for the Russian team at Euro 2012. The perfect idea of Russian football crashed into non-linear reality. Sports astrology is the same sport, only intellectual: you need to have a certain form in which you can study 6-8 matches a week. It's actually a lot.

- Just the other day, the site ended the competition "Around Euro 2012", where astrologers predicted the outcome of football matches in real time. At first glance, this competition exposed the failure of sports astrology on this moment time: out of 31 predictions of the winner of the competition, only 18 turned out to be correct. Or - as many as 18? How do you, the organizer of the competition, perceive this result?

- Not everything is so deplorable. The fact is that in sports forecasting, the percentage ratio is not based on the duty 50/50, since one of the three possible outcomes of the match is determined by the forecast (winner 1, draw, winner 2). In the first and very rough approximation, the excess of 33% already indicates that the forecasts may have some conditionality, albeit in a small proportion. To have 18 correct predictions out of 31 is more than good. Such a result gives hope. Moreover, according to the conditions of the competition, it was necessary to predict almost all matches. The astrologer could not focus on personal transits and remain in the shadows when the transiting Moon, for example, moved through his natal 12th house. The very statistical model of sports astrological forecasting has not yet been born. It is very necessary to understand at what level of efficiency this or that technique is. Over time, the model will need to be created with the participation of statisticians.

By the way, about time. How do you see the site "Sports Astrology", say, in a year and in 5 years? In which direction are you planning to develop?

- An optimist sees only positive images in me! :) Of course, a lot of things will change and be added. There are many, many plans. I will not disclose, since their implementation is very time-consuming and not easy. The only thing I would like to emphasize is that all changes will concern the study in the first place (convenience, scale, availability of several statistical models, expanded database). There are thoughts about creating separate Internet projects on some components of sports astrology. The main task is to attract experienced astrologers to sports astrology. It is completely incomprehensible to me when astrologers-researchers start an ideological struggle among themselves. It all ends with a general unwillingness to develop astrological disciplines. All astrologers need to unite, create thematic groups and work hard. The goals of unions and other associations of astrologers that collect membership fees are completely incomprehensible, but at the same time I have never heard of financing serious astrological projects. Everything begins and ends in applied astrology, in a stop called "Consultation". Therefore, if there is a chance for astrologers, then only in the study together, without pumping up personal ego and trying to "be the first." As in team sports, the team wins!

Anatoly, it is quite possible that these lines are now being read by future sports astrologers, who will be able to work in a team and develop the astrology of sports. What would you wish to beginner sports astrologers? this direction?

- First of all, you need to feel the sport itself, its features and history. To understand boxing, you need to practice it (for men). To understand football, at least you need to go to the stadium and see with your own eyes how hard it is for athletes to win.

In addition, in order to engage in sports forecasting, you need to know both natal, and horary, and predictive, and mundane astrology. That is, to be technically “savvy”.

And most importantly, do not be under the illusion that you will have free time :)

Sports astrology is a very interesting field. Its attraction is that the sport becomes native. When developing the site, I came up with a phrase that basically describes this direction “Sports astrology - healthy lifestyle forecasting". Therefore, I wish everyone, first of all, health and success!

Anatoly, thank you for taking the time to tell us honestly about sports astrology. Your site - development and prosperity.

- And thank you!

In general, that's all for today. I hope that the research resource "Sports Astrology" will be useful to you.

In connection with the European Football Championship starting on June 10, 2016 and Olympic Games, which will be held from 05 to 21 August this year, the topic of forecasting sports matches received additional interest from all those who are fond of sports and sports astrology.

This material contains excerpts from John Frawley's books about horaries on the topic of sports prediction and gambling prediction. This is a summary of the most important principles and rules for the interpretation of horary questions of this type. The method of horary questions is the most effective in terms of sports predictions. But it has a certain limitation - the person asking the question must be a fan of one of the teams in the match about which the question is asked, or at least he must be interested in the victory of one of the teams. Such interest is a guideline in determining the main houses of the horary chart; without this criterion, the interpretation of the horary loses its meaning. But, as a rule, people who are not indifferent to sports are engaged in sports astrology, especially during important world competitions, when you can cheer for a team or against one of the teams, so this material will be useful to many.

The material contains several sections: gambling; sport games and competitions; fights for the title of champion, boxing, martial arts; long-term forecast, but the topics of the sections are linked in the same line of interpretation rules. At the end of the text are links to horaries, conclusions on which were made within the framework of the proposed rules. Practice has shown that the rules described by John Frawley work. But let's start with the theory.

gambling

Gambling is often regarded as an activity associated with the 5th house. But questions about gambling are usually asked with the intent to learn about the profits that result from gambling. I've never been asked "Will I have a good time at the races?" Having a good time is a matter of the 5th house, but making a profit is not. A bet is a competition between you and the bookmaker, he is your opponent (7th house). The bookmaker's money is his2nd house, that is, the 8th house of the radix. Since you want his money, your success will be indicated by an aspect between Lord VIII and Lord I, the Moon (provided that it is not the significator of the bookmaker or his money) or Lord II. Which of the planets is aspecting and which is being aspected does not matter.

With this aspect in the card, Lord VIII's condition will allow an estimate of the size of the gain in relation to the bet, which can help the querent choose an appropriate bet. Suppose the querent decided to bet on a certain team. The bookmaker can offer him a range of bets on this team, depending on the chances of this team to win. If Lord VIII is strong, indicating a big win, the querent may decide to take a riskier bet with less chance of winning. If Lord VIII is weak, he should stick to a more reliable bet, winning even with a small advantage.

Such questions - like all questions relating to investments - require advance preparation by the querent. The reliability of the card will be much higher if the querent made an effort to initially select the bets offered by the bookmaker. Lotteries are not competitions. At the very least, they can only become them if the querent has developed a mechanism to beat the lottery company: then it turns into "us against them", and the judgment is made on the basis of the 8th house, as outlined above. Usually, lotteries are regarded as the querent holding out his hand in the hope that luck will fall into it: a gift of fate. In this case, the judgment is made according to the XI house: does the Lord XI aspect the querent's significator or the significator of his "pocket"? If the querent asks only if he will hit the jackpot, Lord XI must be exceptionally strong to make an affirmative judgment.

If the querent's question is about winning a prize with his own horse, refer to the 2nd house of the horse (profit from the horse). The querent's horse belongs to his 12th house, so his 2nd house is the 1st house of the radix. Ignoring the querent, give Lord I the profit from the horse. Ideally, Lord I should be an essentially strong and well-disposed benefactor favoring the 1st or 2nd houses (now we consider the 1st house as the querent's house). Otherwise, the aspect between Lord I and the Moon or Lord II will indicate profit.

I once asked a question about football rate. Sovereign II in the question card was heading to form an opposition with Sovereign I, which made no sense. How can my money be returned to me? They will either disappear forever or I will get the bookmaker's money. Consumed by curiosity, I made a bet. The match was abandoned in the middle of the game, and all bets were returned to the owners. My money really returned to me. The opposition here speaks of the inconvenience caused by the need to spend time traveling to the bookmaker for money.

Sports games and competitions

Will we win?This question can be asked by both a fan and a competitor. In both cases, it boils down to "us against them." The team that the querent supports is considered to be his "continuation" - the querent, not being a player, refers to the victory of this team as "our" victory. In this capacity, the querent's team receives the 1st house. And those disgusting thugs that his team competes with are open enemies: the 7th house. Be careful: if the main interest of the querent is the bet he made, treat this matter as pertaining to making a profit. In order for judgment to be possible, the querent must be interested in the result for its own sake. His support for "ours" may be a little warm, but he must give preference to one of the teams. If the team he supports is not participating in the game, he may genuinely dislike one of the participating teams - for example, a competitor to his preferred team. In the latter case, the question boils down to "Will my enemy lose?" Then the enemy receives the 7th house, and his opponent, the enemy of the enemy - the 1st house (7th from VII).

The querent's indifference to both teams results in the absence of a criterion for establishing a correspondence between teams and houses, which makes it impossible to judge from the map.

Resist the temptation to give house I to the querent's home team or the team the querent named first, asking the question: Whatever it is, horary astrology has nothing to do with it. We also cannot give the 7th house to "any" team, because indifference the querenta makes both commands "something".

This method can also be used in questions about individual sports, provided that the querent favors one of the players over the other. The question still remains "us against them", as in "Will our gallant Englishman win this tennis match?". The answer to which would be "No". Although we consider the team that the querent is rooting for as his "sequel", the Moon here loses her usual role as the querent's co-significator, except in a critical situation when nothing else happens in the chart. Sometimes its secondary meaning is reduced to the description of the "flow of events."

Ignore houses other than I and VII. Many astrologers got lost in the fog of sports horaries, trying to find fans, players and the amount of money in the team's account in the map. Be simple! All we care about is who wins. This is indicated by the 1st and 7th houses. While the manager of each losing team puts the responsibility for their defeat on the referee, the horary card is much more athletic and Lord X plays no part in it.

In questions about competitions, Lilly advises to give the last planet from which the Moon separated to co-significators of the querent, and the planet to which it adjoins to co-significators of the opponent. Do not do that! These additional significators, apart from confusion, do nothing.

Start by assessing the condition of the houses. Is there anything in them? If so, does it help or hurt the affairs of the home? Do not forget that the closer the planet is to the cusp, the more influence it has on the house. The influence of a planet located in a sign other than the sign of the cusp is significantly weakened. This rule holds no matter how close the planet is to the cusp (for example, if the house cusp falls at 29 Aries and the planet is at 0 Taurus, its influence is much weaker than if it were in the same sign as the cusp) . Suppose the Ascendant falls into 15 Pisces, and Saturn is located at 2 Aries in the 1st house. Being in the house of the flawed Saturn (in the sign of its fall) is a serious defeat for "ours". But Jupiter is in the same house, at 17 Pisces. The presence of Jupiter in its main dignity is extremely favorable for "ours". The influence of Jupiter, which is much closer to the Ascendant than Saturn, and, more importantly, is located in the same sign as the Ascendant, is much stronger than the harmful influence of Saturn. Since the houses we are interested in are in opposition to each other, do not pay attention to the planets aspecting them. A planet that aspects one of the houses also aspects the other, and besides, both of these aspects are of a similar nature.

The interpretation of the Lunar Nodes in these charts is very simple: North is good, South is bad. They exist as a pair, so if one of them is in the house of "ours", the other will automatically be in the opponent's house. And this means that we should consider only one of them, which - does not matter. If the North Node is located in the 1st house, we can take this as evidence in favor of that house. But we can also take into account only the South Node, considering it as evidence of the weakening of the 7th house. The key is to not treat Nodes as two separate pieces of evidence. In all astrological judgments, we must be on the lookout for everything that happens automatically.

Now consider Lords I and VII. Which one is stronger? In these matters, the main accidental virtues are much more important than the essential ones. Essential dignity indicates who is more worthy of victory; while the accidental dignity is on the one who wins. But if all other evidence is more or less equal, a significant advantage in essential merit may be decisive. The most importantthe essential dignity in this case is exaltation. The team, whose significator is in the sign of its exaltation, enters the field, believing itself to be a team of celestials playing with mere mortals. This attitude increases the chances of winning. In sports horaries, the presence of a planet in the sign of its exaltation is a greater merit than its presence in its own abode.

The receptions between Lords I and VII are significant because they indicate who is in whose power. And again, in sports horars, the sign of exaltation gives the planets more power than the abode: if Lord I is ruled by Lord VII, located in the sign of Lord I's exaltation, Lord I gets the advantage. "Our" inspire the enemy with awe. Mutual reception with other planets does not contribute to the strengthening of the significator. Mutual reception is like friendship. No matter how good the friends of the querent or the team he supports are, they will not run onto the field to score the decisive goal.

In sports horaries, position in the house and burning are the most important accidental factors. A planet in an angle house has a tremendous advantage over a planet in a subsequent or declining house. The closer to the cusp, the stronger the advantage. The presence of a planet in an angular house, but in a different sign from the sign on the cusp, strengthens the planet, but much less. The presence of the significator in his own house especially strengthens him; while its presence in the opponent's house usually serves as strong evidence of loss: it is in the opponent's hands. However, being located on the cusp of the house, and not inside it, the significator is in an exceptionally strong position.

A planet within a house is ruled by that house, and a planet on the cusp of a house rules that house. Burning is the most depressing of all defeats. A burned significator indicates that the team will lose. A rare combination of terrifying factors can outweigh this indication.

A close aspect with a benefactor helps the planet, and a close aspect with a malefactor is detrimental. At the same time, do not forget that any planet located in the place of its essential dignity is a benefactor, and any planet in the place of its damage is a malefic. The maximum distance we are interested in from the exact aspect is five degrees, the effect of a larger distance is too weak. The closer, the stronger. When judging the result of a match, do not pay attention to the change of signs. The significator can be close to the border of the sign, at the very entrance to his abode, thereby significantly increasing his essential dignity, but this does not affect the outcome of a single game. If the question were about a long-term forecast, such as "Will the team I support do better than Team X this season?", the sign change would play a critical role in the judgment: "After a bad start, your team will perform at its best sides."

The adjunction of the Moon, indicating the flow of events, to one of the significators, serves as secondary evidence in favor of the command represented by this significator. This may give an advantage, other things being equal, but will not play a role in the presence of strong indications in favor of one of the teams. But - for sports competitions in which the winner is chosen by voting, such as, for example, figure skating, gymnastics etc., it is important to consider aspects of the Moon. The aspect of the Moon to the opponent's significator is capable, regardless of receptions, of outweighing the overwhelming majority of all other evidence: the applicant will win.

In my experience, the Arab Parts are of no use in these matters. Even Fortune and Part of Victory consider being involved in such cards beneath their dignity. For all the fact that accuracy and thoroughness are required to obtain reliable judgments, pettiness does nothing. In most maps, the balance of power is clearly marked. If the case for each team is equally compelling, we are unlikely to pick a winner based on a microscopic analysis of the available evidence. In some contests, the balance of power is a judgment in itself: the match will end in a draw. If the game does not provide for such a result, check that you have not missed any evidence - for example, antis.

How to use antisom?

As with the corporeal aspect, in order to indicate an event, the conjunction or opposition of the antis must be exact. If the antice of planet "A" is in conjunction with planet "B", then the antice of planet "B" will be in conjunction with planet "A". This happens automatically. Often, an aspect is not required to indicate an event. If two planets are in conjunction or opposition in antis, they influence each other. In order for this influence to be significant, the aspect must be close - no more than a couple of degrees. The planet's antis functions exactly as if the planet itself were in its place, with the following exceptions:

We are only interested in union and opposition

As a rule, antis carries the meaning of something secret or hidden.

Antis has less ability to forbid aspects

In my horary practice, I have made many judgments based on the antis alone. Antis cannot be an indication of death and pregnancy. The essential virtues of a planet are determined by its bodily disposition, not by the disposition of its antis.

In a horare about a sporting event, the antis of the team's significator was exactly on the angular cusp, which greatly strengthened the planet: the team that this significator denoted won. I don't think the antis hitting the fixed stars has any effect on him, but I can be persuaded. If the antis of the planet falls exactly on the cusp of the house, this indicates either that the person denoted by this significator is interested in the affairs of this house, or that the person denoted by this planet affects the affairs of the house - for better or for worse. All this is true only when the antis falls exactly on the cusp: if it wanders somewhere in the middle of the house, its influence on this house should not be given any importance.

If you've checked all the evidence and found nothing, follow William Lilly's advice: "When happy and unhappy evidence are equal, put aside judgment - we can't know which way the scales will swing." Recognition of the limitations of our knowledge, both individual and collective, is not a disadvantage.

Fights for the title of champion, boxing, martial arts

An exception to the method "I house against the 7th house" are fights for the title of champion, such as boxing, chess and some other types of martial arts. In these sports, there is only one champion who holds this title until someone beats him, or he retires from the sport, or is stripped of the title. Here the question boils down to "Will X hold the title of champion?" "Will the king part with his crown?" The method of judging such matters is not appropriate for other sports: the fact that Team A won the championship last season has nothing to do with today's match - entering the new season, all teams start as equals. In boxing matches for the title of champion, the only goal of the fight is to overthrow the current champion by the challenger.

Give the champion house X and the challenger house IV (7th from X). The Sun, being the natural ruler of kings, may also signify a champion (if it does not rule one of the houses in question), and the Moon, being the natural ruler of the people, may be given to the aspirant (if it does not rule one of the houses in question).

But suppose the querent likes the challenger better. If the querent is an ardent admirer of the applicant, the applicant receives the 1st house. But the champion is still pointed to by X. In this case, the question becomes "Will we overthrow the king?" If the querent is rooting for the champion, then the question boils down to "Will we kick this challenger out?" In this case, the champion (“we”) receives the 1st house, and the challenger (“our opponent”) receives the 7th. And if they are not already involved as significators, we must also consider the natural rulers:

THE SUN IS THE RULE OF THE CHAMPION

THE MOON IS THE GOVERNOR OF THE CHALLENGER

After which we pass judgmentbasically the same as just described, with three caveats:

Judgment can be made on the basis of a change in the dignity of the significator. If the current champion's significator is at the entrance in sign of his fall, or the significator of the contender for the title of champion is at the entrance in sign of his exaltation, we have clear evidence of the victory of one of them.
The "out of course" moon, which does not play a significant role in most sports charts (because we know that something must definitely happen - if there is a match, then there will be the result of this match), serves as a strong indication of the status quo. Nothing will change - the current champion will retain his title.
The Arab Part of Retirement and Dismissal (Saturn + Jupiter - Sun) can be significant.Close converging conjunction or opposition of the significatorchampion with this Part indicates his defeat. Butbe careful: you must have anothersupporting evidence. Otherwise,champion can win and then announcethat he is leaving the sport.

Long term forecast

“Will this season be successful for the team I support?” Will my team win the championship? Will she be relegated? Unlike sports horaries that deal with one-on-one fights, these questions can be asked about a team or athlete to which the querent is indifferent: “Will this season be successful for Team X?” Will Venus Williams win this tournament? The possibility of asking such questions is due to the fact that they concern one team, so we do not have to look for a match between the team or the athlete and the house. The indifference of the querent to the team or the athlete makes them "someone": 7th house. Judgment is usually made very simply, as long as we resist the temptation to give a spectacular answer. Our ego likes to predict the unlikely. But this is a mistake: a correct prediction is much better. The unlikely happens rarely. “What will this season be like for the team I support?” - most often, the answer will be "Mediocre". Not many teams win and not many of them relegate. And while the negative answer to "Will my team win the championship?" and is not the most pleasant for the client, but exactly what should happen will happen.

The team of the querent receives the 1st house and its ruler. At the same time, the Moon is not a co-significator of the team. We are interested in significant changes in essential dignity and relationships with the houses of the card. But in reality, anything that deserves an answer other than "Mediocre" usually catches the eye right away. For example, the entry of a planet into its own term does not indicate anything important, while the entry of a planet into its sign of exaltation serves as a strong indication of something significant.

Examples: “How will my team do?” With the team's significator entering its abode or sign of exaltation: the team will be promoted in the league class. As a sign of their downfall: the team is in for – quite literally – a relegation in the league class. The significator is approaching conjunction with the cusp of the X house or its Lord: the team will win the championship. The significator is at the entrance to the XII or VIII houses, or is approaching the connection with the ruler of one of them: the team will be relegated. In "Will We Win the Championship?" with the planet of the querent adjoining Lord X: "Yes." If this conjunction occurs in the next sign: "This season, no, but next season, yes." Querent asked if her team would win anything this season; in the map there was a connection with Lord X, but in the next sign, which was double: in the following season, her team won two major competitions.


The eighth house, the house of death, may indicate the liquidation of the league; but we must be careful. More likely, the meaning of this house is within the assumptions of the question, which, as a rule, applies only to the game. And even when the context of the question calls into question the survival of the club, for such a gloomy forecast, the card must have clear indications of serious problems associated with the 2nd house (finance). The evidence provided by burning and "kazimi" is always valid. "Will Venus win at Wimbledon?" Her planet is burned: it's hopeless. Her planet is Kazimi: no doubt. Contacts with any planets, in addition to the Sun and the rulers of the houses related to the question, as a rule, do not matter. The best trine from a benefactor will not win the title of champion, and the worst opposition to Saturn will not relegate the team. But such evidence can provide clarifying information. Suppose the significator is very weak, but is in trine with Jupiter, which has great virtues: "Your team will experience difficulties throughout the season, but will remain in the ranks." But this is just decoration. Answer the common question "Who will win the league?" it would be extremely easy if the teams in the league were called Jupiter, Mars and Venus. To date, I do not have a method for establishing a correspondence between the planets and the teams in their in full force. At least I don't have a working method. But if there is “no course” in the Moon chart, the answer to the question will be “Nothing will change.” The team that won last year will win again.”

Sports astrologers are the most severe astrologers. And this is not surprising, because they deal with the most real, practical predictive work in the style of "make or break". If the result is not as predicted by the astrologer, it is no longer possible to hide behind general phrases, psychological aspects, and so on. There can be no discrepancies, the score on the scoreboard and the money in the account - this is the measure of the skill of a sports astrologer.

By the way, sport is actually a modern substitute for war, which was banned by the UN somewhere in the middle of the 20th century, since it has become really unsafe for the future of the Earth to fight, and people now satisfy their Martian ambitions on the fields of sports battles, and are actively involved and women. Today, sport is a political factor that allows you to divert the destructive energy of people in disadvantaged areas into a safe channel. Better Kuban and Terek fight on the football field than shoot at each other. As they say, bread and circuses!

This brief review is devoted to the sports side of the work of the English astrologer John Frawley.

John Frawley is known among astrologers as an ardent traditionalist (however, who is not a traditionalist now?), Popularizing the pragmatic astrological style, but at the same time, leaning towards Catholicism and talking about the "architecture of the soul." Some time ago, even before the publication of Sports Astrology, Frawley made several public sports predictions, which, to the surprise of the author and the public, came true. But he left this business in time, apparently fearing that Fortune would turn his back on him, and turned to a completely win-win option - writing a book on this topic, which is much safer and more profitable. "Sports Astrology" turned out to be surprisingly cheerful, and now, finally, its Russian translation has recently become available. (By the way, after reading selected chapters of the translation and comparing with the English original, I did not find a single mistake, which is good.)

Not everyone knows that in his almanac "Apprentice" Frawley previously touched on the issues of predicting sporting events. (Some issues of this samizdat can be downloaded from www.johnfrawley.com). And if earlier it was some kind of exotic, then with the release of the full-fledged book "Sports Astrology", Frawley swung at a very large and promising piece and was practically the first after Bonatti to seriously develop the topic of confrontation and rivalry.

Horary methods

Horar is Frawley's unconditional "hobby". Nobody else can't t how to gracefully unravel the changes that arise before our eyes and line up in a strict logical chain.

The method is simple as all ingenious. “Ours” is the ASC, “They” is the DSC and everything that follows from here. The strongest planet wins. Signs of strength, with a few exceptions, are pretty standard. Preference is given, of course, to the accidental merits of the planet and, especially, the position relative to the enemy angle. Frawley's key postulate is not new, and following Bonatti and other old authors, he suggests that if a planet is on the cusp of an enemy angle or a little in a falling house, it kind of "attacks" him and rules over his opponent. If the planet is inside the house, then it is, on the contrary, in the power of this cusp and in the power of the opponent. The burning of the significator by the Sun, of course, gives a crushing defeat. The faster the planet, the better, because this is a sport.

The subtlety of such horaries is that in order to ask the question “Will this team or athlete win this match?” The querent must fully associate himself with his favorite team, that is, he could rightfully say “WE” about himself and his team. Otherwise, it is difficult to hope for a correct answer. The English, obsessed with football, it certainly comes easier.

A pleasant addition to the “fan-friendly” horaries was the part that describes the method of working with horaries “for profit” from bets. You don't need to be here anymore. an ardent fan one of the parties, but just to have some extra money and an account with a bookmaker. However, there are pitfalls here as well. Naturally, as in general horary practice, you can’t ask 10 questions a day about “Will I win by betting on this team?”. This will lead, in addition to nervous exhaustion, also to financial collapse. Here, as in the previous case, the truth of life and realism are important, so that not a single "Stanislavsky" says "I do not believe."

In my opinion, it is better to put a small amount, ask the above question, and in case of a positive answer, put serious money. Frawley suggests that we work with the rulers of the 1st, 2nd, and 8th houses. In this case, we should be interested in any aspect relationship of the rulers of (1-8) or (2-8) houses.

Event cards

The author immediately points out that this method not to be confused with the horary described above. Here, some contradictions are evident. In the beginning, Frawley writes that if we want to predict sport events every day, then we need a technique that is fundamentally different from horary - forecasting by the initial time and place of a sporting event. Elsewhere we find that "this method only works well towards the end." But the finals, unfortunately, do not happen as often as we would like. From experience it turned out that on the maps of the finals the method really works better, but of course not by 100 and not even by 80 percent. In general, the larger and louder sport's event or tournament, the greater the likelihood of a successful forecast, however, this applies not only to the Frawley method.

Another subtlety, however paradoxical it may sound, is the impossibility of thoughtfully analyzing the event map in advance in some sports (for example, in tennis). Because in the event map exact time beginning plays a very important role. It is the difference of a few minutes that makes the card unique and, accordingly, capable. (Compare with horar, which can be set at any time, even a few months before the match.) Although in the case of football (soccer) in Europe, the difference between the declared start time and the real one varies within 1 minute, which does not greatly affect the map .

One of the main problems is determining who to put on the ASC, that is, who will own the card? Of course, the favorite, this is his world, even if he is visiting. In my opinion, exceptions are possible if the outsider is not completely weak and takes a clearly attacking position, for example, he needs to win back for the last defeat from the favorite. I think Bonatti would agree with me and place such an outsider on the ASC. The odds (by how much we multiply the bet if we win) for the favorite can vary from about 1.2 to 2.3, but closer to the golden mean of 1.8 is better.

Here we read again that the rulers of the 1st and 7th houses (as well as the rulers of the 10th and 4th), falling inside the cusp of the enemy house, are in the power of the enemy. Only the orbs become smaller compared to the horar, about 3 degrees from the cusp.

Particularly interesting is the significance of the Part of Fortune in the event cards. In the almanac "Apprentice" he writes that the position of Fortune itself relative to the corners of the map does not mean anything, because it slowly changes its position, but the antis of Fortune jumps as it pleases, so it is really significant. (Remarkably, Frawley calculates the Pars of Fortune exclusively by the daily formula for both day and night charts.) The author makes a completely logical conclusion that fast-changing configurations in such cards are often more important than slow ones. However, from the experience of forecasting, it is clear how often these evidences worked momentarily, that is, they gave an advantage to the outsider at the beginning of the match, and towards the end, the favorite still grinded the outsider down. It's not all that simple, and there must be some balance.

The really shocking phrase at the end of this chapter is: "Any piece of evidence can overpower another." We've arrived! What is written is written, but this does not change the essence of the matter: in everyday practice, the method of event maps in this form is really inapplicable.

***

Don't even try to make quick money if you don't have enough experience in either betting or astrology! If you have been unlucky in Throwing Fool since childhood and you lose even in "Rock-Paper-Scissors", then the chance that you will suddenly start winning money with the help of astrology is negligible. Miracles don't happen.

Alexey UBER

The attitude of stock traders and sports handicappers (betting on the outcome of the match with the purchase of a handicap) towards astrologers is more than skeptical. The ridicule that is heaped upon the adherents of the occult ways of playing is unimaginable. The essence of criticism comes down to a simple argument to the point of vulgarity: since you are so smart, why are you so poor? Although there are no rules without exception. I personally heard from a respected teacher of FOREX courses (forex market) the opinion that mystical methods of forecasting are the most powerful if they are used correctly. There is also an astrologer-trader who regularly posts his forecasts on the website of the Currency Speculator magazine, who plays successfully - despite the incessant insults addressed to him. (The problem is that any winning strategy should only serve as the basis for masterful entry and exit tactics, otherwise other people's advice will interfere with the formation of your own right decision . How many people have been harmed by the weathermen's advice about today's rain! However, no one refuses their predictions - everyone understands that they are mostly correct.) So, we must learn to win with the help of astrology. Sports seem to me more preferable. Firstly, a huge amount of literature has been written on the exchange, there are also occult inclusions. However, the sport is almost not developed - this is a challenge. Secondly, by dealing with competition cards, you increase your energy. Some astrologers - a reverse example - do not advise working with horoscopes of catastrophes and deaths. The reasons are clear for people "karmically savvy." Thirdly, sport is a grateful material. People play, with a certain physical tone at the moment, with a specific motivation. This is quite amenable to astrological analysis and forecasting. Fourthly, if we learn to guess the outcome of the championship or at least pay off our bets with a small plus (that is, defeat the opinions of other players), this will be a deadly argument in defense of astrology. I started with running. This is where everything is bought and sold. I noted the positions of the moon, and nothing more. Most of all, I was struck by the case when the clear favorite brazenly “leaked” - 5 minutes before the arrival, the Moon entered the sign of Scorpio. The rider's uniform was red. The people yelled, the entire race fund fell on the ruble rate. Further, I celebrated the days with a large payout, and not only on the run, but also in Sportloto and Sportprognoz. It was evident that Scorpio and the water element in general, as well as the cardinal cross, clearly “drown” the favorites, and then the payout ratio rose sharply. (And in “Sportloto” there are players’ favorite numbers and combinations, and since this is a totalizator, in the case when “unloved” numbers come, the payout increases.) Then I started using race election cards. Watching the race became much more interesting. You look, it happened: the sky will grow dark, the people became quiet, the birds too - the Ascendant floats into the earth sign ... And the new race is much “darker” than the previous one, where the one who comes first almost always came first again. In general: Yin elements, hard, unfriendly configurations, planets in the mine, somewhere at the end of the 6th house or on the 1C - help outsiders in their difficult struggle for leadership. On roulette, this is an analogue of zero. And vice versa - a clear favorite easily takes first place on trines and sextiles of luminaries, accentuation of angles (Mars, say, on AC or DS), with a good 5th house, the Moon in Sagittarius, etc. beneficial things. Air worked in an interesting and understandable way - usually a complete "sucks" was dragged along with a "lantern". As they say, behind the back of a friend. Of course, this can come into any astrological head, by way of assumption, but the facts are real ambrosia. Then I moved on to betting through bookmakers. Convenient: all the statistics are online, you can rummage through the players' forums. No need to waste time on the hippodrome, where the tax reaches 40% (beeches are simply negligible in this comparison). The field for work seemed so boundless that for a year I simply collected information, purely by the "shuttle" method, sometimes betting at random or on the advice of players, sometimes assuming the impact of some astrological parameters. The general conclusions are as follows. As on the run, the same laws apply. The difference is that the race lasts a few minutes, and the game can drag on for hours. Therefore, for safety net, you can study the horoscope not only of the beginning of the match, but also of the final. Next, it is best to research a specific championship in a specific sport. However, this will be confirmed by ordinary players. You can look at the maps of the first game of each team in the league and form an initial opinion about its prospects for this season, given its "weight" among the rest of the participants. Alfie Lavoie in his lectures says that you need to get the horoscope of the first transaction for a particular stock exchange or historically the first game sports team, is the key to success. Not an easy task! But the first match of the season - more than accessible information. And, most importantly, really helpful. We look at the map, unfold it in short techniques (day=week, for example, because a week is a significant time factor, usually games are held on weekends), and compare with the final map (1/2, 1/4). But it is impossible to bet only on the basis of these data. This is the background, one of the filters. We study the energy of the game day. Our first assistant is the good old night luminary. The Moon runs fast, and therefore we are gaining decent statistics in one cycle. I paid more attention to American types, they are the most convenient - they are played according to Russian time at night, you have time to calmly analyze, the payout ratios are maximum. (I use the AstroBase Prof program, a little antediluvian, but fundamental and strong. It is a pity that the developer does not plan to develop it.) So, what do we see in various types sports?

The square of the Moon, especially towards the Sun and inner planets, is dominated by outsiders! This is especially evident if the outsider is a home team, i.e. field owner. You can bet on the money line (the usual line of odds), it's safer - with the purchase of a handicap (handicap). And on the contrary, the trines of the Moon - to almost all planets, best of all to the Sun and Venus - help the favorites. A lot of nuances were revealed here, which helped me to feel more deeply the classical astrology. Saturn lowers the total score in the match. The South Node strengthens the home team. Jupiter seems to be a guest (and raises the score). Venus loves favorites. Black Moon for the outsider. Twins give draws. Scorpio and Taurus “thicken” the score: like 3:4, 2:3. A cardinal cross gives a non-draw, often with hat-tricks (3 goals by one player). Just the same guide for beginners to study ancient science! Mercury is very insidious: sometimes thick, sometimes empty. Insidious and creative aspects - it is their unpredictability. Quickons helps revenge, especially on their own territory. About the sign of the country. Several years ago, at the Ice Hockey World Championships in St. Petersburg, our valiant squad successfully lost first to the Swiss (on the Moon in Taurus), then to the Belarusians (on Cancer). The parlay of these two events, the bet against the Russians, was over 150 to 1. I wonder if there is at least one of the astrologer-readers who could not imagine such an outcome? (Especially knowing that a number of our strongest athletes simply did not consider it necessary to break the schedule of their performances in the NHL.) But Russian football players came to Paris and defeated the then reigning world champions on the Moon in Aquarius. Before the last World Cup, we again drove to Paris on Aquarius and exchanged 1:1. The French coach said that he would not like to meet such a team at the championship... The arc of the Moon to the planet is also a significant indicator. But no longer in terms of the “favorite - outsider” confrontation, but in terms of the total (account in the game) “more - less”. Rapprochement with the planets increases the score, as it were, charges the players (and slightly strengthens the favorites, because they mostly score). Distance - reduces the score and weakens the leader. Perhaps this is how the sum of the distances between the planets works. Of course, the watermarks have lived up to their "outsider" reputation. And not only in these sports. Interestingly, at the entrance of the Moon into Scorpio, as I noticed, the strongest representatives of such a Mercurial sport as tennis are “yearning”. Tennis + woman + Scorpio = the gloating of the new winner, the shame of the favorite? Well, male tennis players, from the best, drop their faces on the ingression into Cancer. Do you remember mom? Or how they sat on the potty? True, already on the second day of the water moon, the status quo is restored, that's why they are the strongest. This is an important observation: it is easy to stumble on ingression or at the entrance of an aspect into an orb, then the favorite seems to catch on and quickly corrects the situation. Very good data are obtained from the quadrants of the houses of the Moon. (It must be remembered that the "sporty" Sun is almost always in the west.) In general, her position in the 3rd quadrant strengthens the guest and increases the score in the game - and indeed the combat sector, as written! As for the opposition, the score is growing in the 1st quadrant - you have to answer. The lower hemisphere strengthens the host. The 2nd and 4th quadrants lower the score in the game. Well, naturally. And finally, let's move on to the third filter - the match horoscope itself. No cards of all the players running around the field - we will get confused! Election only. (For tennis players, however, I tried to use cosmic charts, since their data is easy to find. But without the time of birth, one could only make general assumptions, at the level of the map of the first match of the championship, whether a tournament participant will feel good or bad. I don’t feel like it, there are too many of them. Athletes’ biorhythms can help - if Safin has a recession, take his opponent, always with a handicap, or simply bet on a small number of balls taken. But I didn’t particularly develop this topic.

Guido Bonatti at one time created a set of rules for "military" astrology, perfectly applicable to sports. So says Australian researcher Bernadette Brady. However, it must be remembered that the favorite wins in the vast majority of cases. The leader on the run comes first in 66-75%. "Manchester United" practically does not lose at home to the middle peasants from the English outback. And if the card doesn't look credible for the favorite, it doesn't mean much. He is capable of winning! But if the favorite is “not allowed through” by the first two filters, maybe you should not bet on it today? But should you bet on his opponent? Consider the match card of the second French division between football teams Monaco (host) and Nice (guest). The coefficient for a strong host was 1.5 to the ruble of the bet, for the guest - 6. Nice won with a score of 0:1.

According to the rules of Bonatti, the guest is represented by the Ascendant - as challenging. If we consider the ratio of the rulers of 1, 5 and 10 houses - the key ones for victory, then the guest looks good. The owner, i.e. 7th, 11th and 4th houses and their rulers - in any case, it looks no better. Interestingly, ancient astrologers did not consider Mars in Capricorn to be a great helper; in the fall or exile, his aggression was “corrected” for the better. The same goes for Saturn. Personally, I wouldn't bet against a favorite in this chart, although of course a strong Venus in the 5th house and Jupiter at its zenith look very appetizing. But the Sun - in the falling! The owner has the ruler of the 5th house on the Ascendant, Mars at its zenith. Hmm, the owner does not outweigh, but he is the favorite of the championship! Pay attention, the Moon here in a square with Venus is one of the conditions for the victory of an outsider. Next, I just didn't mention it, Air helps the guest - compare it to the Moon in the 3rd quadrant and the "sticking" of a weak rider to a strong one! Since this match did not pass the third filter, we bet on the guest, but very moderately. Such tactics can be called "fan", loose. The result - on this Sunday, fruitful for sporting events, the bet on guests paid off.

Another example. My bet on Boavista-Guimarais just went through. Classic Distribution!

The guest is represented by Venus in exile in the 6th house, the ruler of the 5th house is strong Jupiter in the 10th, the lord is Mars in Aquarius (a little “chilled”, this is good) in the 10th house of the owner, the Wheel of Fortune in the 5th house of the owner, 5th lord, Mercury, in 1st house. Ascendant in the terms of Mercury and Mars, which work for the owner, the face of Jupiter - we put a small plus for the guest. The Descendant representing the lord is in the term of Mars, which is a plus, and in the face of Venus, which is a minus. Weighing the pros and cons, we choose the owner. His success is especially pleasing, because the odds before the match were about the same, Boavista is only a slight favorite. The result of the match was 3:1, and the host took the lead immediately, the first half ended 2:0.

Here is a map calculated for 10/31/1999, 15:00 GMT, Moscow. Check-in at the hippodrome.

Ascendant in Gemini, Mercury in O Sagittarius in the 6th house, Pluto in exact conjunction with the Descendant, Mars in Capricorn at the end of the 8th house, Venus in included Virgo in the 5th house, Moon conjunct the North Node in the 4th house , Wheel of Fortune in Pisces included in the 10th house. With a trained eye, we determine that we don’t need to bet on favorites in any case ... Only 6 horses, but the combination that came up gave a huge payout for all betting systems. One note: the favorites often perform poorly in bad weather, more precisely, their strength and motivation are aligned with the rest. In the slush, horses and football players run in one dirty lump, is it up to leadership here! But when, one wonders, does the horoscope reflect bad weather? Yes, all at the same time: water signs, inclusion, some kind of Uranus-Neptune in conjunction with an angle - with weak personal planets in mobile or fixed houses. Keep in mind, you can never rely on 100% for any technique. Someone else's experience, he is someone else's. Bonatti is not always right! How much is written that a successful trader on the exchange uses the same strategy as the loser, but they have different financial discipline - at least. For work: we don’t really look at the maps of everything sports day, we are looking for the best election, we select events of the 2nd type in the personal archive: when the favorite or home outsider is defeated; meeting of equal opponents. Then we will grow as professionals. Good luck!
