Month: January 2026

At the time of writing, Liverpool are odds-on favourites to win against Newcastle, but there are only 3 points between them and the chart for Saturday’s match suggests a closer game than expected.

As favourites, Liverpool are signified by Mercury, ruler of the 1st and 10th houses.

Rivals Newcastle have Jupiter, ruler of the 7th and 4th houses, as their representative.

The Moon is at the end of her current sign (Cancer), but is not quite void of course: She is about to trine Saturn at 28 Pisces 37. Even this is not her final aspect, as she next applies to square the Antiscion of the Part of Fortune at 29 Libra 28. This lunar square to the antiscion of the Part of Fortune favours the underdogs, Newcastle.

This is not the only testimony which counts against the favourites: Mercury, Liverpool’s significator, is combust (within 8 degrees of the Sun). Although Mercury is moving away from the Sun, this is still a great debility, which could greatly hinder Liverpool’s chances.

With no balancing testimonies to favour Liverpool, it is likely that Newcastle will have a much better game than the pundits expect.

Arsenal, the odds-on favourites are signified by the Sun (ruler of the 1st house) and Mars (ruler of the 10th house). Opponents Manchester United have Saturn (7th house ruler) and Venus (4th house ruler) as their significators.

The Moon, who describes how the events of the match will unfold, is void of course:  She makes no further aspects in her current sign. This suggests that the status quo will be maintained, and the favourites will win.

However, there are signs that Arsenal will find this match much more difficult than they anticipate. The Sun, their main significator, is captured by opponents Manchester United; located just inside the 7th house.

Pluto, who John Frawley notes in his book “Sports Astrology” often appears to have a grudge against the favourites, applies to oppose the 1st house cusp (and Arsenal), lending his support to rivals Manchester United.

Furthermore, Mars, ruler of the 10th house (the house of success for the favourites), applies to conjunct Pluto: Pluto has it in his power to block Arsenal’s hoped of victory, if he so wishes.

The pundits expect Arsenal to win easily, an opinion with which the void of course Moon concurs. However, Pluto could make things very difficult for the favourites if he decides, which could make for a closer contest than expected.

Astrological Football forecasts for the Premier League will be taking a short break for the latest FA Cup fixtures and will return for the next Premier League weekend beginning Saturday 17th January 2026.

The pundits favour home side, Manchester City, to win easily against Chelsea – but do the heavens agree? 

The Moon is in the 1^st house (the house of the favourites) and placed very close to the house cusp.  This is a tremendous boost to the fortunes of Manchester City and suggests that the favourites have victory in their grasp.   

However, Pluto (who often seems to have a grudge against the favourites) opposes the 1^st house cusp from the 7^th house (the house of the underdogs), lending his support to Chelsea’s cause:  If Pluto chooses, he can make the match considerably more difficult for Manchester City, although he will need to work extra hard to overcome the fortunate influence of the Moon conjunct the 1^st house cusp.  

The Moon next applies to sextile the antiscion of Saturn at 03 Libra 37 (who, as lord of the 7^th house is main significator for the underdogs). This is a boost for Chelsea and suggests they will score at least one goal.  However, it is a comparatively weak testimony which is unlikely to trouble Manchester City’s dominance of the match.   

As well as the Sun (lord, 1 ruler of the 1^st house), Manchester City have Mars (ruler of the 10^th house) as their co-significator.  Saturn, lord 7, is the main significator for Chelsea, but they also have Venus (lord 4) as their co-significator. 

Both Mars and Venus are combust (closely conjunct the Sun): The amounts to a severe debility for both teams, which may limit the number of goals. Venus (for Chelsea) approaches closer combustion, while Mars (for Manchester City) is moving away from combustion.  This is a small distinction, as both planets are harmed by being so close to the Sun, but may be of slight benefit to Manchester City.   

The chart agrees with the pundits: Manchester City have the best chance of victory. However, both sides are likely to score and the match may prove more challenging than the favourites expect.
