Currently leading the Premiership, Chelsea are favourites to win against hosts West Ham this Saturday. But could the home side have a few surprises in store?

In some systems of sporting prediction, the 1st house and its ruler are automatically awarded to the home team. However, in John Frawley’s technique (outlined in his book, Sports Astrology), the 1st house always represents the favourites, while the opposing 7th house is given to the underdogs.
In the chart for this Saturday’s match, this distinction is very important, as Mercury (7th house ruler) is in the position of greatest strength; applying to a conjunction with the 10th house cusp (victory, success) and just about to make a conjunction with the Moon.
Mercury must travel just over 6 degrees to perfect his conjunction with the 10th house cusp, which is quite a distance for a 90-minute football fixture (even when extra time is allowed). But this matters little, as the key to the match is the soon to be exact conjunction with the Moon: A conjunction with the Moon is strong enough to beat all other testimonies and will likely award to the game to the team signified by Mercury. Following the Frawley system, this will be West Ham.
