Currently placed 2nd in the Premier League table to Manchester City’s 8th place, Arsenal are the favourites to win and are represented by Saturn, (lord of the 1st house) and Mars, (lord of the 10th house, the house of victory for the favourites).
In contest charts, the Moon describes the flow of events. This role takes priority over her rulership of any of the houses. As the Moon rules the 7th house in this chart, Mercury, her dispositor, is substituted as main significator for Arsenal’s opponents, Manchester City. Venus, ruler of the 4th house (the house of victory for the underdogs) is City’s co-significator.
The Part of Fortune is closely conjunct the cusp of the 1st house: This aspect always occurs around the time of the new Moon, so does not have a bearing on the result.
More significantly, the Moon applies to oppose to Saturn (lord 1). This is a strong aspect which points to a clear advantage for favourites, Arsenal.
Mercury, the substitute main significator for underdogs Manchester City, applies to sextile the antiscion of the Part of Fortune (at 10 Sagittarius 50). This is helpful for City, but a far less reliable testimony than the Moon/Saturn opposition.
Overall, this chart favours the favourites, Arsenal.
