Currently placed second in the table, Liverpool are favourites to win this Sunday’s local derby against Merseyside rivals Everton. Do the heavens agree?

The Moon, as significator of events, makes just one aspect within the 5-degree orb considered effective for a 90-minute football match: A trine to Mercury. As Mercury rules the 1st house (the favourites) and the 10th house (victory for the favourites), the Moon seems to side with the pundits in favouring Liverpool to win.
The ruler of the 7th house (Jupiter) is placed just inside his own house and is conjunct the house cusp. This is unlikely to change the result, but does promise a strong performance from Everton.
