NCAA MARCH MADNESS 2023 ASTROLOGY PREDICTIONS
When it comes to making astrology predictions—particularly in regards to major events like March Madness—there are many factors to consider. First and foremost, looking at each team’s date of inception is extremely important, as it reveals the natal chart for each team. Yet, because this information is not readily available, several other factors can help us understand some of the cosmic forces affecting the direction of where they are headed in the heat of the moment. One can look at the coach of the team to understand the vision for where they’re headed, which is what I will be doing specifically in regards to each team of the final 16.
For astrological analysis purposes, no birth times were utilized. The standard “point of entry” was placed at 3:30 PM for when the next round of games “kicks off.”
