AFC South
Texans offense: 29% earth · Texans defense: 30% fire
TeamAir leads this starting lineup at 30%. Smart, versatile, and built on communication.
This roster wasn't built in Ryans's image. Only 7 of 26 starters are natural fits. Ryans's fire Sun complements an air-leaning starting lineup. Each side feeds the other. Strongest link to Ryans: Al-Shaair (LB). The big factor is a Sun conjunction. Watch Ersery (OL) with Ryans. The issue is a Chinese zodiac clash.
The offense mostly speaks Caley's language, with 7 of 11 starters in sync. Strongest link to Caley: Ersery (OL). The big factor is a shared Moon sign. Watch Brown (OL) with Caley. The issue is clashing elements.
The coordinator and the defense aren't a natural match. 5 of 12 starters line up well. The defense has no dominant element, so Burke's fire approach sets the tone. Strongest link to Burke: Pitre (CB). The big factor is a Sun-Moon trine. Watch Fisher (LB) with Burke. The issue is a Sun square.
The staff chemistry between Ryans and Caley looks strong. Ryans and his defensive coordinator, Burke, are on the same page. Expect the coaches to do some adapting this year.
Counts the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, and Mars of every player in the unit. The comparison is against the same unit across the league.
The starting quarterback with his starting receivers, tight ends, and offensive coordinator.
Stroud and Boutte are a mixed bag. In the Chinese element cycle, Stroud's Metal feeds Boutte's Water. Stroud helps Boutte grow. Same life path, 7, for Stroud and Boutte. They're chasing the same kind of goal. Not everything lines up, though. Air and earth Suns in Stroud and Boutte. They'll have to work at it, because their natural rhythms don't match. Chemistry here gets earned, not given.
Stroud and Collins have more working for them than against them. In the Chinese element cycle, Collins's Earth feeds Stroud's Metal. Collins helps Stroud grow. One more, with an asterisk. Stroud and Collins may share a Aries Moon. If so, they're wired the same way emotionally. More good than bad, and the good is real.

Nothing here is a lock either way. Stroud and Schultz both have cardinal Suns. Same approach to the work, which keeps them moving in step. Same life path, 7, for Stroud and Schultz. They're chasing the same kind of goal. One more, with an asterisk. Stroud's Sun may trine Schultz's Moon, a strong sign of comfort if the birth times cooperate. Not everything lines up, though. Schultz's Fire checks Stroud's Metal. Useful accountability, or a source of tension. The rest comes down to the work.
Caley and Stroud should work well together. Coach and player are both air Suns. The scheme and the player's style want the same thing. Stroud's Metal feeds Caley's Water in the Chinese cycle, a supportive flow between player and coach. There's a wrinkle. Caley's Sun may square Stroud's Moon. If so, expect some friction under the surface. The foundation is there.
