Currently top of the Premier League, Liverpool are the odds-on favourites to win this Sunday’s EFL/Carabao Cup final at Wembley. They are signified by Mercury, lord of the 1st and 10th houses. Jupiter, lord of the 7th and 4th houses, represents rivals Newcastle United.
The Moon, whose major aspects describe how the match will unfold, is void of course (she makes no further aspects in her current sign of Libra). In sporting contests, this often heralds a match with few surprises: The status quo will be maintained, and a win for the favourites is the most likely outcome.
Mercury is retrograde, but this is not a setback in contest charts, especially as he applies to conjunct the Part of Fortune, a strong testimony for the favourites. Venus intercedes between Mercury and the Part of Fortune, preventing a bodily (exact) conjunction, but she ‘collects the light’ of both, bringing Mercury and the Part of Fortune together through her influence.
Overall, the prospects look excellent for the favourites: All things being equal, Liverpool fans should have much to celebrate on Sunday evening.
Post-match report 16th March 2025: The result was Liverpool-1 Newcastle-2, with Newcastle dominating the action to bring to an end a 70-year trophy wait. Mistakes can be valuable teachers, as in this case, where I failed to notice that Venus was also about to turn retrograde. There will be no conjunction with retrograde Mercury before Venus leaves Aries and re-enters the sign of Pisces, hence no ‘collection of light’ between Mercury and the Part of Fortune, which was the major testimony for a Liverpool win in my original forecast. In his book ‘Sports Astrology’, John Frawley states that it is crucial to make sure the aspect actually happens: The chart for this match is the perfect demonstration of why this advice is so important!
