The power of the moment – Rugby World Cup 2023 Paris

This past eclipse is a wonderful demonstration of the power of particular moments and this concept of destiny. The Springboks played the All Blacks in the final of the Rugby World Cup 2023 in Paris, France on 28 October the night of the partial lunar eclipse. 

When looking at the SA chart for 27 April 1994 against this eclipse there is a powerful angular connection – MC/IC. This clearly demonstrates that SA will achieve prominence with sporting success. 

It is interesting to look at the New Zealand chart and this lunar eclipse and there is certainly not the same indication of prominence and success. 

Astrologers can draw charts for sporting contests of big knock out games in tournaments and there is a particular way to analyse these charts. But one of the issues is that you need to easily be able to identity the favourites from the underdogs. This was particularly difficult when comparing the Springboks to the All Blacks as there was nothing between the two teams. Closer to the time it looked like All Blacks were slight favourites to win even though Springboks were World Number 1 ranked team and current World Cup Champions. History would be made. Whoever won this title would be the first team to win 4 World Cup Rugby titles. The Springboks (2019 World Cup Champions) had a chance to defend their title like the All Blacks did in 2011 and 2015. 

This was a tricky chart to analyse but did indicate the favourites would be damaged in some way (Mercury ruler of favourite combust). 

Moon trine antiscion POF – supports favourites. 

Antiscion Moon in 4th – supports underdogs. 

It was the Moon’s aspects that really intrigued me.

Moon opposed Sun – 0 degrees 46’. (underdogs take early lead) 

Moon opposed Mercury – 6 degrees 17’ (favourites) 

Moon conjunct Jupiter – 6 degrees 55’ (underdogs) 

A conjunction is always an indication that this is the final result. The only issue is that usually we move the Moon 5 degrees for a rugby or football match (80/90 minutes). This was beyond that range. Did this mean there was a draw at full time and then both teams had to play extra time to get a result? I was unsure. 

But it is interesting to see this flow of time knowing the outcome of the match. Springboks started well (Moon opposed Sun ruler of 4th underdog). Then All Blacks came back with Moon opposed Mercury (ruler of favourite). And finally Springboks won with Moon conjunct Jupiter (ruler of underdog).

For me there were too many uncertainties with this match chart – mostly determining the favourites. 

It was much clearer looking at the eclipse chart against the country chart for SA and NZ. South Africa looked like the more obvious winner basking in sporting success and glory. 

Scorpio year ahead

The focus at this time is your relationship/partnership. This is an excellent time to assess what you want and what you and your partner are striving towards. You are determined at this time. There is tension in this chart between your personal desires and those required in your relationship. There is a great need to grow and expand personally. This is an important time to focus on your financial situation personally and jointly. Your personal situation looks somewhat unstable. What needs to change? Do you get a lump sum payment you didn’t expect? How does this impact your joint financial situation? You seem discontent about your options to be sporty and or creative and find time for pleasure. Are you making time to do things together that you both enjoy? Are you supportive of each other’s desire to find creative and or pleasurable pursuits? Perhaps you are struggling to fall pregnant and have a child? This seems like an excellent time to focus your energy and get sexually active to achieve your goal of falling pregnant. Is your career going in the direction you would like at this stage in your life? What needs to change? You may be struggling with some issues in your business/career. Focus on the long-term goals and see how you want to make a difference to society in general. The financial rewards will follow with commitment and dedication.
