Castor and Pollux - the Horsemen
The live NBC broadcast kicks off with a pre-show at noon ET Friday, and the ceremony itself begins at 7:30 p.m. Paris time, or 1:30 p.m. ET. The prime-time encore telecast, which features additional content, will air later in the day for U.S. viewers, at 7:30 p.m. ET. The ceremony is expected to be over four hours.
In mundane astrology, the cardinal ingresses of the Sun (entry into the four cardinal signs/ constellations, i.e. 00 deg of Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn ) have a traditional reputation as important mundane events. Presented here is the July 17 ingress of the Sun into the constellation of Cancer drawn for Paris.
The ingress Sun is placed very significantly on the Ascendant among stars of the Gemini Twins, Castor and Pollux. About the Twins Castor and Pollux, Wikipedia has:
They became the gods of sailing and horsemanship. ... Pollux and Castor were also known for their boxing abilities and were thus the gods of athletes and athletic competitions. In both art and literature, Pollux and his brother were shown with horses, as the two were famed horsemen. https://tinyurl.com/2svu3xd6
