The pundits expect this to be a close match, with many predictions favouring a draw. But what do the heavens say?
Venus, ruler of the 1st house, is a captive of the 7th house and placed very close to the 7th house cusp: The team signified by the 1st house (the favourites or home team, depending on your preferred method) will find their hopes of victory dominated by the team represented by the 7th house (the underdogs or visitors). This is the only testimony of reliable significance in this contest chart.
The Moon, whose aspects decide the winner of contest charts more often than any other testimony, makes no aspects over the 5-degree orb considered most reliable for 90-minute football matches. When she travels a little further (over 7 degrees) she makes a sextile to Mars (ruler of the 7th house) suggesting a possible late advantage for the underdogs/visitors, especially if the match strays into extra time.
This contest chart does not suggest a draw: Instead it favours the team described by the 7th house. But which team is this?
The bookies odds mostly favour Leeds to win, which makes Brentford the underdogs and the team described by the 7th house.
Brentford are the visiting side, which would also award them the 7th house and the likelihood of victory.
However, a glance at the Premiership table shows Brentford in 7th place with 45 points, leading Leeds at 15th with just 35 points: This might suggest that Leeds, not Brentford are the stronger side.
It will be interesting to test these theories in the light of Saturday’s result!
