Pluto casts his shadow over the fortunes of the favourites, Aston Villa, applying retrograde to conjunct the cusp of the 1st 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 1st house, its ruler Saturn. They are also represented by Jupiter (ruler of the 10th house, the house of victory for the favourites).
Everton would usually have the ruler of the 7th house as their main significator, but the Moon (7th 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 4th house, the house of victory for the underdogs).
The aspect from Pluto to the 1st 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 1st 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.
