The starting quarterback with his starting receivers, tight ends, and offensive coordinator.
Nothing here is a lock either way. Nix's Sun may sextile Sutton's Moon. If the birth times line up, it's an easy, supportive link. Not everything lines up, though. Nix's Metal checks Sutton's Wood. Useful accountability, or a source of tension. The rest comes down to the work.
Nix and Waddle are a mixed bag. In the Chinese element cycle, Waddle's Earth feeds Nix's Metal. Waddle helps Nix grow. One more, with an asterisk. Waddle's Sun may sit right on Nix's Moon, depending on the birth hour. If it does, that's a classic bond. Now the catch. Nix and Waddle have Suns in a square. Two strong personalities pushing in different directions. It can sharpen both, or it can grind. Water and fire Suns in Nix and Waddle. They'll have to work at it, because their natural rhythms don't match. Chemistry here gets earned, not given.
The stars like this pairing. Nix's Sun lands right on Bryant's Moon. A classic bond: one sets the direction, the other feels it in his gut. In the Chinese element cycle, Nix's Metal feeds Bryant's Water. Nix helps Bryant grow. Not everything lines up, though. Water and fire Suns in Nix and Bryant. They'll have to work at it, because their natural rhythms don't match. Give it reps and it should click.
The charts don't make this one easy. Water and earth: Nix and Engram have Suns in complementary elements, and each makes the other a little better. There's a wrinkle. Nix and Engram have Mars in a square. Practice battles get heated, and that's not always a bad thing. The Dragon and the Dog are a classic Chinese zodiac clash. Nix and Engram may grate on each other. A Sun opposition between Nix and Engram. Tension and attraction in equal measure. If this pairing works, it's in spite of the stars.
Webb will have to work to get through to Nix. Coach and player share life path 11. Their ambitions point the same way. Now the catch. The Dragon and the Dog clash in the Chinese zodiac. Expect player and coach to butt heads at some point. Watch how Webb handles him when things get tough.
