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.
