Currently at 4th place in the table to Aston Villa’s 9th, Chelsea are tipped to win Sunday’s match at Stamford Bridge.
As favourites, Chelsea are denoted by the 1st house, Mars (1st house ruler) and Saturn (ruler of the 10th house; the house of victory for the favourites).
Aston Villa are represented by Venus (ruler of the 7th house). They have no other significators in this match, as the Moon, (ruler of the 4th house, the house of victory for the underdogs), already has a key role describing the events of the match.
As the game takes place around the time of the New Moon, the Part of Fortune is in the 1st house. This might seem fortunate for the favourites; but the placement of the Part of Fortune is linked to the Moon’s current phase and always occupies the 1st house at the New Moon. Observation shows that wins for the favourites do not always correlate with a New Moon, so the Part of Fortune’s placement by antiscion (which varies from month to month as the New Moon changes sign) is considered more significant in contest charts than her bodily placement.
The North Node is close to the cusp of the 1st house but, once again, this is not quite as favourable for the favourites as it might appear. In his book “Sports Astrology”, John Frawley notes that a team’s planet falling on a Node will be helped or harmed, but that the house placements of the Nodes do not seem significant.
The Moon’s aspects describe how events will unfold and often (as in this case), hold the key to the result: She applies first to a sextile with the antiscion of Saturn (at 17 Libra 05) which is positive for favourites Chelsea.
The Moon next applies to a square with the antiscion of the Part of Fortune at 18 Virgo 52. This is just beyond the 5-degree orb of aspect considered most reliable for a 90-minute football match and suggests that underdogs Aston Villa will have an opportunity to change their fortunes in the latter stages of the game.
Verdict: Chelsea will dominate the match, but Aston Villa will have at least one chance to turn the tables on their adversaries. The last few minutes of the game are likely to prove crucial.
