Month: May 2026

The favourites (at the time of writing, Manchester City) is signified by Mercury, lord of the 1st and 10th houses.

Jupiter, ruler of the 7th and 4th houses, represents their rivals, Chelsea.

The Moon applies to trine the Part of Fortune: This is a positive testimony for the favourites. She then moves to conjunct the Sun (the match is held on the day of the New Moon, hence the Part of Fortune’s proximity to the Ascendant) and next applies to a conjunction with Mercury. This is the Moon’s final aspect in her current sign of Taurus and is also highly favourable for the favourites.

Mercury is combust (within 8-degrees of the Sun). This is a debility which may hinder the performance of the favourites, but is unlikely to counter the positive aspects from the Moon, especially the lunar conjunction with Mercury.

The contest chart for the 2026 FA Cup Final favours the favourites: Manchester City are currently odds-on to win: If the pundits are correct, City will have cause for optimism this Saturday.

Manchester City, the odds-on favourites, have just one significator, Venus (ruler of the 1st house). The Moon (ruler of the 10th house, the house of victory for the favourites) is already occupied describing the events of the match so cannot be City’s co-significator on this occasion.

Opponents Brentford have Mars (ruler of the 7th house) and Saturn (ruler of the 4th house, the house of victory for the underdogs) as their representatives for this match.

As is often the case, the Moon’s aspects hold the key to the result: She applies to trine Venus (1st house ruler), a strong testimony for the favourites.

The Moon’s next aspect is a sextile to Mars (7th house ruler), a testimony which favours Brentford. Although the orb of aspect is beyond the 5-degree orb considered most reliable for 90-minute football matches, it suggests that Brentford will be at their most dangerous during the latter stages of the match, especially if the game strays into extra time.

Overall, this contest chart favours the favourites, which the pundits consider to be Manchester City, provided they remain on their guard against the possibility of a late challenge from Brentford.

Mercury (ruler of the 1st house) represents the favourites, whilst Venus (ruler of the 10^th house, the house of victory for the favourites) is their co-significator.  Jupiter, ruler of the 7th house, denotes their rivals, who have Mars (ruler of the 4^th house, the house of victory for the underdogs) as their co-significator.   

This contest chart is notable for its lack of strong testimonies in favour of either team.  This does not mean that the game itself will be uninteresting, but it does make it more difficult to forecast a result.   

The only testimony of note is an applying sextile between the Moon and the antiscion of the Part of Fortune (at 05 Libra 06): This favours the favourites.   

Bournemouth, who have the home advantage and are currently 7^th in the table to Crystal Palace’s 13^th are odds-on favourites to win. However, experience (if not astrology) has taught that any match involving Crystal Palace has a measure of unpredictability, so the result could prove closer than the pundits expect.
