As favourites, Manchester City are signified by Venus (Lord of the 1st house). The Moon, ruler of the 10th house (the house of victory for the favourites) is already spoken for describing the events of the match, so Venus is City’s sole significator.
Mars, ruler of the 7th house and Saturn ruler of the 4th house, represent opponents Southampton. Saturn placed in the 7th house, close to the house cusp, is a positive sign for the underdogs. It does not guarantee that they will win but suggests they will prove strong opposition.
However, in the absence of other significant testimonies, the placement of Saturn is a warning to the favourites that they should be on their guard against a spirited performance from Southampton, who will be ready to turn any opportunity to their advantage.

At the time of writing, hosts Chelsea have the confidence of the bookies, and are currently odds-on favourites to win. But do the heavens agree?
As favourites, Chelsea are represented by Venus (ruler of the 1st house) and the Sun (ruler of the 10th house, the house of victory for the favourites). Their opponents, Manchester United, have Mars (ruler of the 7th house) and Saturn (ruler of the 4th house, the house of victory for the underdogs) as their significators.
The Sun, ruler of the 10th house (the house of victory for the favourites) hovers closely over the cusp of the 7th house (the house of Chelsea’s rivals in this match, Manchester United). Although this does not guarantee victory for the favourites, it does suggest that they will dominate the match and is a great boost to their prospects.
The Moon disagrees: She immediately applies to oppose the Part of Fortune, a strong testimony for the underdogs.
Both Chelsea and Manchester United have powerful testimonies in their favour, a sign that the result may be closer than expected.
The Moon makes one other aspect of note: A conjunction with Venus, ruler of the 1st house. This would guarantee a win for the favourites, were the aspect not beyond the 5-degree orb considered most reliable for 90-minute football matches. However, with extra time a possibility, a last-minute opportunity for the favourites may prove advantageous.
One more point of note: A very late degree (29 Libra 20) rises, making it all the more important that this match kicks off on time. If the start is delayed by 5 minutes or more, a new sign (Scorpio) will be on the ascendant. The Sun will no longer dominate the 7th house cusp, nullifying the most powerful testimony in favour of the favourites. The Moon will still apply to oppose the Part of Fortune, inclining the chart more strongly to favour the underdogs. With Taurus now on the cusp of the 7th house, the last minute advantage shown by the Moon’s late applying conjunction with Venus (ruler of Taurus) will now also favour the underdogs.
This chart beautifully illustrates how crucial accurate timing is to the result of contest charts. It will be interesting to see how this plays out at Stamford Bridge this Saturday.
The favourites are signified by Mercury, ruler of the 1st and 10th houses. Jupiter, ruler of the 7th and 4th houses, stands for the underdogs.
Mercury (for the favourites) hovers over the cusp of the 7th house. This indicates that the favourites will dominate the action. It does not guarantee that they will necessarily win the game, but it does strongly favour their chances.
The Moon makes no direct aspect to either Mercury (favourites) or Jupiter (underdogs) but does apply to trine the Antiscion of Jupiter at 13 Gemini 29. An aspect by Antiscion is not as reliable as a bodily aspect but is still positive for the underdogs. As this aspect is near the 5-degree orb considered most reliable for a 90-minute football match, it suggests a late chance for the underdogs.
At the current time of writing, Liverpool are odds-on favourites to win. If the bookies are correct, our contest chart suggests they will dominate the game.
However, Liverpool must be alert to a late challenge from underdogs Fulham. If unchecked, this may turn the tables on the favourites and dash their hopes of victory.
