The first house and its ruler, Venus, represent the favourites. Usually, they would also have the ruler of the 10th house, (the house of victory for the favourites), as their co-significator. Here, the 10th house is ruled by the Moon, who already has a key role describing the main events of the match. For this reason, the favourites only have one significator, Venus.
Their rivals are signified by Mars, ruler of the opposing 7th house. They also have Saturn (ruler of the 4th house, the house of victory for the underdogs) as their co-significator.
There are two important testimonies in this contest chart, both of which indicate the underdogs will have the better game.
Saturn applies to a close conjunction with the North Node. This aspect greatly boosts to the fortunes of the underdogs.
The Moon’s immediate opposition to the antiscion of the Part of Fortune (at 13 Cancer 44) is the only other aspect of note in this chart. Once again, this favours the underdogs.
At the time of writing, the pundits consider Aston Villa (who have the home advantage, and a strong record of home wins) to be the favourites.
However, it is worthy of note that Newcastle are currently placed at 3rd in the table above the favourites Villa in 7th place. The Magpies’ impressive performance in away games this season must also be taken into account.
Overall, this promises to be a finely balanced game of well-matched sides.
Some pundits have suggested the possibility of a draw.
However, the contest chart for this match inclines more to a victory for the underdogs, very likely by a close margin.
