As favourites, Arsenal are signified by Venus, ruler of the 1^st house, and Saturn, ruler of the 10^th house (the house of victory for the favourites). 

Mars, ruler of the opposing 7^th house, is sole representative for rivals Liverpool.  The Moon, as ruler of the 4^th house, would have been their co-significator. However, she already has a key role describing the progress of the match. 

In his book “Sports Astrology” John Frawley observes that, in the judgement of contest charts, the Moon’s aspects probably indicate the outcome of more matches than any other testimonies:  Here, the Moon immediately applies to oppose a retrograde Saturn.  Despite the challenging nature of the opposition aspect, this is a powerful testimony for favourites Arsenal.   

Saturn is also conjunct the Part of Fortune, but the aspect is separating and also not quite close enough:  A conjunction within orb of 2-3 degrees might lend further support to Arsenal’s cause.

However, for all practical purposes (and in the absence of any testimonies favouring Liverpool), the applying opposition between the Moon and Saturn should be sufficient to prove the bookies correct and herald a win for Arsenal.

Manchester City are hotly tipped to win Sunday’s match against hosts Wolves.  As favourites, they are signified by Saturn (ruler of the 1^st house) and Mars, ruler of the 10^th house (the house of victory for the favourites). 

Although they have the home advantage, Wolves are not the favourites, so are signified by the opposing 7^th house.   

The Moon, ruler of the 7^th house, already has an important role describing how the events of the match will unfold.  As the Moon is in Gemini, her dispositor is Mercury, who steps in as main significator for Wolves.  Venus, ruler of the 4^th house (the house of victory for the underdogs), is their co-significator.  

The Moon applies to a square with Saturn.  This is the only testimony of note in the chart, and it favours Manchester City.  The challenging nature of the square aspect and the retrograde motion of Saturn make no difference to the meaning of this testimony – it remains highly positive for the favourites  

Mercury, for Wolves, applies to conjunct the cusp of the 10^th house, but is not close enough (an orb of 1-2 degrees is the maximum in contest charts) to present a serious challenge to Manchester City’s hopes for victory:  A win for the favourites seems the most likely outcome.

Astrological football forecasts for the Premier League will return after the International Break – watch this space!

At the time of writing, Tottenham are just one place and point in the table ahead of hosts Brighton. Nevertheless, the pundits seem confident in their expectation of victory for Spurs. 

As favourites, Spurs are awarded the 1^st house and its ruler, Saturn (the traditional ruler of Aquarius).  They have Jupiter (the ruler of the 10^th house, the house of victory for the favourites) as their co-significator.   

The Sun, ruler of the opposing 7^th house, represent Brighton.  Mercury, ruler of the 4^th house, is their co-significator.   

However, none of these planets play a major role in the contest chart for this match.  Instead, the Moon’s applying trine to the Part of Fortune (at 26 Pisces 22), is most likely to decide the result in favour of the favourites, Tottenham.
