Manchester City are odds-on favourites to win this season’s FA Cup Final against Crystal Palace, and the contest chart for the match appears to agree: There is only one testimony of sufficient note in this chart, the placement of Venus (lord of the 1st house, main significator of the favourites) directly on the cusp of the 7th house (the house of opponents Crystal Palace).
Were Venus to be placed inside the 7th house, this would show favourites Manchester City languishing in the power of their rivals, Palace. However, Venus sitting on the cusp of the 7th house shows City dominating the game, a sign that they will be the likely victors.
The game is scheduled to kick off at 4:30pm (BST), by which time the Moon* will have just separated from an opposition with the antiscion of the Part of Fortune (at 21 Cancer 52). This opposition aspect would have favoured the underdogs (Crystal Palace) but by the time the game begins the aspect will already be in the past, a sign that Palace have done well to get to the final, but have probably achieved as much as they can, at least for this season.
There is only one lunar aspect of note, an applying sextile to Saturn, ruler of the 4th house. As the 4th house is the house of victory for the underdogs, this testimony would favour Crystal Palace. However, the aspect is just outside the 5–6-degree limit considered most reliable for 90-minute football matches, suggesting that Palace might rally in the latter stages of the game, but unless the amount of extra time available is considerable, their efforts are likely to be ‘too little, too late’.
*Please note: The Moon is also ruler of the 10th house (the house of victory for the favourites, Manchester City) but her role describing the events of the match takes precedence.
