Placed 5th in the Premier League table to Everton’s 17th, Manchester City are odds-on favourites to win. As favourites, they are awarded the 1st house and its ruler, the Sun. Their co-significator is Venus, ruler of the 10th house (the house of victory for the favourites).
Hosts Everton, as the underdogs, are represented by Saturn (ruler of the opposing 7th house) and Mars (ruler of the 4th house).
The Moon, at 15 degrees Cancer, makes no aspect to any relevant planet or house cusp, or the Part of Fortune over the 5-degree orb usually considered effective for a 90-minute football match.
However, the Part of Fortune receives aspects from the main significators of both teams: A sextile from the Sun (for Manchester City) and a conjunction from Saturn (for Everton). Of these aspects, the conjunction with Saturn is strongest for two reasons:
Firstly, Saturn applies to a conjunction with the Part of Fortune whilst the sextile from the Sun is separating. Only applying aspects have a bearing on future events in contest charts.
Secondly, John Frawley in his book “Sports Astrology” observes that only conjunction and opposition aspects from main significators to the Part of Fortune work reliably; sextiles and squares are much less significant.
If we take these points into consideration, this chart only has one testimony which has a bearing on the result: The applying conjunction from Saturn to the Part of Fortune. This hints that Everton will do much better than the pundits expect. Either this match will be won by Everton, or the result will be such that it will seem nearly as good as a win (possibly a draw).
