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 1st house and Venus, ruler of the 10th house (the house of victory for the favourites).
Hosts Manchester United are designated by Mercury, ruler of the opposing 7th house and Mars, ruler of the 4th house.
Jupiter (lord 1, for Liverpool) rests exactly on the cusp of the 7th 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 4th 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 7th 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.
