Month: August 2024

In John Frawley’s system for forecasting contest charts, the home team cannot always be considered the favourites: So it is with this Sunday’s match at Old Trafford, where the pundits favour visitors Liverpool to win.   

As favourites, Liverpool are represented by Jupiter, ruler of the 1^st house and Venus, ruler of the 10^th house (the house of victory for the favourites).   

Hosts Manchester United are designated by Mercury, ruler of the opposing 7^th house and Mars, ruler of the 4^th house.   

Jupiter (lord 1, for Liverpool) rests exactly on the cusp of the 7^th house, dominating the fortunes of their opponents, Manchester United.  This is a powerful testimony in favour of Liverpool.   

The Moon applies to a sextile to Mars (lord of the 4^th house, the house of victory for the underdogs).  This offers a ray of hope for Manchester United.  As the Moon must travel almost to the limit of the 5-degree orb considered most effective for 90-minute football match, this aspect suggests a late opportunity for Manchester United, most likely in the latter stages of the game.  

With one testimony for each team, the match may prove more equal than the pundits expect.   

The heavens agree that Liverpool are the stronger team:  Jupiter’s domination of the 7^th house cusp is a powerful testimony for the favourites, which is likely to give them the edge.  

Nevertheless, there will be one significant opportunity for Manchester United:  Much will depend on whether they are able to take advantage of a chance which comes their way in the closing stages of the match.

Despite Aston Villa having the home advantage, the pundits consider Arsenal the most likely victors at Villa Park.  But do the heavens agree? 

As the favourites, Arsenal have Saturn, ruler of the 1^st house, as their main significator. Mars, the ruler of the 10^th house (the house of victory for the favourites) is their co-significator.  

The ruler of the 7^th house would usually represent their opponents.  However, in this chart, the Moon ruler of the 7^th house, already has an important role describing how the events of the match will unfold.  Because of this, Venus, the Moon’s dispositor, steps in as significator for Aston Villa.   

The Moon’s only aspect (over the 5-degree orb considered most effective for 90-minute football matches) is a trine to the Part of Fortune at 12 Virgo 17.  This favours the favourites.  If the pundits are correct about their choice of favourite, Arsenal should have cause to celebrate this Saturday.

According to the pundits, Manchester United are favourites to win this opening game of the Premier League season:  They are signified by Saturn, ruler of the 1^st house and Jupiter (ruler of the 10^th house, the house of victory for the favourites). 

Fulham are represented by the Sun (7^th house ruler) and Mercury (ruler of the 4^th house, the house of victory for the underdogs).   

In this case, the pundits and the heavens are in accord:  The Moon, who describes the progress of events during the game, applies to sextile retrograde Saturn, a powerful testimony for the favourites, Manchester United.   

The Sun (lord of the 7^th house) is strongly placed in his own sign of Leo, indicating that Fulham will prove strong opposition. 

However, the Moon’s applying sextile to Saturn being the more significant testimony, United fans should have cause to celebrate, and renewed hope for this new season.
