Month: September 2024

Currently placed at number 3 in the table (opponents Ipswich are 17^th), Aston Villa are considered favourites to win Sunday’s match.   

As favourites, Aston Villa are signified by Jupiter, lord of the 1^st house, and Venus, lord of the 10^th house (the house of victory for the favourites).   

Hosts Ipswich Town are represented by Mercury (lord of the opposing 7^th house) and Mars, lord of the 4^th house.   

Mercury (Ipswich) is severely weakened by his approaching conjunction with the South Node, and combustion with the Sun.  These are challenging testimonies, which work powerfully against Ipswich.   

Jupiter (lord of the 1^st house, for Aston Villa) sits on the cusp of the 7^th house, dominating the fortunes of their rivals.  

The Moon, whose aspects often determine the events of the match, has little to do in this game:  She makes no aspects to significant planets over the 5-degree orb usually considered most effective for a 90-minute football match.  Her next aspect, at just over 6 degrees, is a sextile to Venus (lord of the 10th house), which again favours Aston Villa.   

However, it is the debility of Mercury (combust and applying to conjunct the South Node) and the placement of Jupiter (on the 7^th house cusp) which play decisive roles in this chart, which inclines towards a win for Aston Villa.

Manchester United are currently on a winning streak, having won their last three games. Can they make this match against Crystal Palace their fourth win in a row?    

Their last match against Crystal Palace saw Manchester United held to a 4-0 defeat.  Nevertheless, United are currently placed 10^th in the table to Palace’s 16^th and the pundit’s favourites: They are awarded Saturn (ruler of the 1^st house) and Jupiter (lord of the 10^th house, the house of victory for the favourites).   

Rivals Palace are signified by the Sun (ruler of the opposing 7^th house) and Mercury (ruler of the 4^th house). 

Jupiter, ruler of the 10^th house (for Manchester United) is placed in the 4^th house.  Were Jupiter closer to the house cusp, this would be a powerful testimony in favour of Crystal Palace:  The 4^th house is the house of victory for the underdogs, so Jupiter, a significator for the favourites placed near the cusp of the 4^th house would show the fortunes of Manchester United held hostage by Crystal Palace.   

A more convincing testimony is the applying lunar trine to Mercury, ruler of the 4^th house cusp.  The Moon shows the progress of events, so her applying aspect to one of Palace’s main significators inclines the match in their favour.   

In the absence of any testimonies in favour of the favourites (Manchester United) it looks likely that Palace have the advantage in this game, and the better chance of victory.

Pluto casts his shadow over the fortunes of the favourites, Aston Villa, applying retrograde to conjunct the cusp of the 1^st house.  This suggests that Aston Villa will not play as well as expected: Will this be enough to deny them victory in this Saturday’s game against Everton? 

As favourites, Aston Villa are signified by the 1^st house, its ruler Saturn.  They are also represented by Jupiter (ruler of the 10^th house, the house of victory for the favourites).   

Everton would usually have the ruler of the 7^th house as their main significator, but the Moon (7^th house ruler) already has a key role describing the events of the match.  The Moon’s dispositor, Saturn, who would usually step in as substitute, has already been signed to Aston Villa as their main significator.  

As a result, Everton have only one planet to represent them; Mercury (ruler of the 4^th house, the house of victory for the underdogs).   

The aspect from Pluto to the 1^st house cusp is the only aspect of note within the 5-degree orb considered most effective for a 90-minute football match. Pluto is placed just inside the 1^st house, rather than on the cusp: This mitigates his venom, but is a powerful affliction, nonetheless.   

The Moon applies to trine the Part of Fortune but must travel over 6 degrees to do so:  This suggests that favourites Aston Villa will have a better second half than the first, especially if the game strays into extra time.   

Due to the affliction from Pluto, Aston Villa will find this match a struggle.  It is unlikely to be one they remember fondly.  The longer the game stays in play, the better the chances of a win for the favourites, but it is in Pluto’s power to undo all their hopes.
