At the time of writing, the odds favour a Liverpool win, but by a very small margin. Many pundits think a draw likely. What do the heavens say?
As favourites, Liverpool are signified by Jupiter (ruler of the 1st house) and Mars (ruler of the 10th house).
The rulers of the 7th house (Mercury) and 4th house (Venus) signify opponents Arsenal.
In his book “Sports Astrology”, John Frawley notes that (in contest charts) the Moon’s aspects give the result of the match more often than any other testimony. Here, the Moon applies to a sextile with Mars (ruler of the 10th house, the house of victory for the favourites).
As the only testimony of note, this points to a win for Liverpool.

Arsenal, as favourites, are signified by Saturn, ruler of the 1st house and Mars, ruler of the 10th house (the house of victory for the favourites).
Rivals Leeds are represented by Venus and Jupiter (the rulers of the 7th and 4th houses respectively). (Correction added 25th August 2025 with thanks to glorious7b28140b1c for spotting the error): Mercury, dispositor of the Moon, ruler of the 7th house and Venus, ruler of the 4th house represent the underdogs)
Mars (ruler of the 10th house, for Arsenal) immediately applies to square the Part of Fortune: This is a minor testimony in favour of the favourites.
The only other applying aspect of note is the Moon’s trine to the Part of Fortune. At just over 5-degrees distant, this is a slightly wider orb than we would hope to see in a 90-minute football match (aspects with an orb of 5-degrees or under are most reliable) but suggests that the favourites will have an opportunity to consolidate their advantage in the final stages of the game.
Overall, this chart inclines to a convincing win for Arsenal.

The first Premier League game of the new season sees Liverpool as odds-on favourites to win at home against Bournemouth: Do the heavens agree?
Favourites Liverpool are represented by Saturn (lord of the 1st house) and Jupiter (lord of the 10th house, the house of victory for the favourites).
Rivals Bournemouth are signified by the Sun and Mercury (the rulers of the 7th and 4th houses respectively).
Pluto, placed close to the 1st house cusp, seems keen to get our attention. In his book “Sports Astrology” John Frawley observes that Pluto appears to have a grudge against the favourites. However, in this chart, retrograde Pluto is moving away from the 1st house and may already be far enough away to limit his baleful influence. It could also be that Pluto casts his shadow over past events, describing Liverpool’s recent loss to Crystal Palace in the UEFA Super Cup final earlier this week.
Mercury, ruler of the 4th house (the house of victory for the underdogs) sits on the 7th house cusp. This does not guarantee a win for Bournemouth but does suggest they are in good form and will play well: This testimony is a significant boost to their fortunes.
The Moon applies to square the Sun (ruler of the 7th house, for Bournemouth). The aspect is wider than the 5-degree orb considered most reliable for a 90-minute football match, but suggests that the longer the match continues, the greater Bournemouth’s chances of winning.
The Sun (for Bournemouth) applies to oppose the antiscion of the Part of Fortune (at 28 Aquarius 09). This, as with the other testimonies in this chart, favours Bournemouth and is a sign that Liverpool will have a tougher game than expected.
Most aspects in this chart are at a wide orb: The second half of the game will prove more significant than the first, and extra time is very possible.

The local kick off time for the UEFA Super Cup Final between Paris Saint Germain and Tottenham Hotspur in Udine, Italy is 9pm CET on 13th August 2025.
The pundits confidently expect PSG to win: As odds-on favourites, they are signified by Jupiter, ruler of the 1st and 10th houses.
Their rivals, Tottenham Hotspur, are described by Mercury, the ruler of the 7th and 4th houses.
Mercury (for Spurs) applies to square the Part of Fortune. Jupiter (for PSG) applies to trine the Part of Fortune (for PSG): Both these aspects are less reliable testimonies than conjunctions or oppositions, but hint at a more balanced contest than the pundits expect.
The trine to the Part of Fortune (which favors PSG) slightly exceeds the 5-degree orb considered most reliable for 90-minute football matches. However, this is a cup final and there must be a winner, so some leeway can be allowed: Should the game stray into extra time, this will tilt the balance in favour of the favourites.
John Frawley observes that the Moon’s aspects denote the outcome of more contest charts than any other testimony: Here, she applies to trine the antiscion of the Part of Fortune at 20 Aquarius 19. Although this is not as reliable an indication as a bodily aspect to the Part of Fortune, it is nevertheless a powerful boost to the fortunes of PSG.
Overall, this chart inclines towards a win for the favourites: The heavens agree that Paris Saint Germain have the best chance of victory. Tottenham Hotspur’s best opportunities will occur earlier in the game – as the match progresses, PSG’s dominance will become more apparent.
Liverpool are odds-on favourites to win: As favourites, they are signified by the 1st house, and Scorpio’s traditional ruler Mars.
Mercury (lord of the 10th house, the house of victory for the favourites) is their co-significator, (although John Frawley notes in his book Sports Astrology that his role as dispositor of the Part of Fortune should take precedence).
Venus, ruler of the opposing 7th house is chief representative for Crystal Palace, whilst Jupiter (lord of the 4th house, the house of victory for the underdogs) is their co-significator.
Mercury, ruler of the 10th house (Liverpool’s house of victory) is retrograde. Simon Chokoisky has observed that certain retrograde planets can act in a stronger, more focused way in sporting contests, so this could be a boost to Liverpool’s fortunes.
Liverpool have won the Community Shield 16 times previously and will be seeking their 17th win. In this context, Mercury ruler of the 10th house, could show them returning to Wembley to win again (thanks to Ayesha Basit for this observation).
However, both Jupiter and Venus (for Crystal Palace) apply to conjunct the antiscion of the Part of Fortune at 18 Cancer 39, a sign that they may have a better game than the pundits expect.
The Moon applies to trine both Venus and Jupiter, another positive testimony for Crystal Palace. The aspect is over the 5-degree orb usually considered most reliable for a 90-minute football match and usually would not signify. However, this is sporting final and there must be a winner, so the wide orb is more likely to signal the match going to extra time, or even penalties.
This promises to be another closely fought contest. Crystal Palace have caused upsets at Wembley already this year (most notably beating Manchester City to FA Cup glory in May) and have potential to do so again. However, Liverpool will prove strong opposition to their hopes. This game may not be resolved until the final stages, with extra time and penalties a possibility.
