This season, the form of both teams has been unreliable, but Nottingham Forest (3rd in the Premiership at the time of writing) have the home advantage and are considered favourites to win. They are represented by Venus (ruler of the 1st house). They have no co-significator for this game as the Moon (ruler of the 10th house, the house of victory for the favourites) already has a key role describing the events of the match.
Mars, ruler of the opposing 7th house and Saturn, ruler of the 4th house represent their opponents Ipswich Town.
Venus (1st house ruler) is placed inside the 7th house. If Venus were closer to the cusp (within 1-2 degrees) this would be detrimental to Forest’s hopes of victory, depicting them in the power of their opponents. However, Venus is retrograde and moving further closer towards the 7th house cusp, which makes her placement worthy of note, despite the testimony not being conclusive.
Over the 5-degrees orb considered most effective for a 90-minute football match, the Moon makes just one aspect; a square to the antiscion of the Part of Fortune at 08 Aquarius 52. This favours Ipswich Town.
Aspects of the Moon to the Part of Fortune or the antiscion of the Part of Fortune are often conclusive. In his book “Sports Astrology” John Frawley notes that it is often unnecessary to take the Moon past one of these aspects, as they are so powerful: The heavens suggest that Ipswich may play better than expected and have cause to celebrate on Monday evening.
