Both teams will be seeking to improve their performance this weekend but hosts Manchester City (currently placed 4^th in the table to Manchester United’s 10^th) are the favourites to win.   

With the sign Cancer rising, the Moon rules the 1^st house cusp.  The ruler of the 1^st house cusp is usually the main significator for the favourites .  However, the Moon already has a key role describing the events of the match so her dispositor, Mercury, is summoned from the substitute’s bench as main representative for Manchester City.   

Saturn, ruler of the opposing 7^th house, is the main significator for Manchester United.  The Sun (ruler of the 4^th house; the house of victory for the underdogs) is their co-significator.   

Note:  The favourites usually have the ruler of the 10^th house (the house of victory for the favourites) as their co-significator but Saturn, ruler of the 10^th house, also rules the 7^th house and is already spoken for by Manchester United.   

The Part of Fortune in the 7^th house does not signify:  This is always the case for matches which take place around the Full Moon, but history teaches that the underdogs do not always win under such celestial conditions.   

The antiscion of the Part of Fortune is determined by sign and is therefore more significant.  At 20 Sagittarius 49, the antiscion of the Part of Fortune is near to the Sun (United’s co-significator) but the aspect is separating, so this positive testimony can be discounted.   

Neither Saturn or Mercury are in play, so the only testimony of significance is from the void of course Moon.  In horary astrology, a void of course Moon (where the Moon makes no further aspects while in her current sign) often shows a ‘stuck’ or static situation, where present conditions might be expected to continue.  In contest charts, the void of course Moon is judged slightly differently: All sporting contests must end with a final result. When the Moon is void of course, that result will reflect the status quo. No major upsets are to be expected and the team most likely to win are the favourites.

Northampton are struggling to regain their form and will be hoping for a home win to boost their table standings.  However, Peterborough have the confidence of the pundits and are tipped for victory this Monday evening.   

As favourites, Peterborough are signified by the Sun (ruler of the 1^st house) and Mars (ruler of the 10^th house; the house of victory for the favourites).   

Although they are the hosts, Northampton are not the favourites, so they have Saturn (ruler of the opposing 7^th house) and Venus (ruler of the 4^th house; the house of victory for the underdogs) as their signifying planets.   

Venus (victory for the underdogs) applies to conjunct the antiscion of the Part of Fortune at 04 Aquarius 26.  As Venus rules the 4th house and is Northampton’s co-significator, this is only a minor positive testimony for Northampton, and by no means as compelling as a conjunction between their main significator, Saturn (ruler of the 7^th house) and the antiscion of the Part of Fortune.   

The Moon’s aspects (over the 5-degree orb considered most effective for 90-minute football matches) show how events will progress:  She first applies to a sextile with the antiscion of the Part of Fortune (at 04 Aquarius 26); a positive testimony for the favourites.  

The next lunar aspect, a trine to Mars (significator of victory for the favourites) confirms a likely win for Peterborough.
