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.

The pundits back Chelsea to win, but the match is expected to be closely fought. 

The Moon rules the 1^st house (the house of the favourites), but already has a key role describing the events of the match, so Mars (dispositor of the Moon) steps in as main significator for Chelsea.   

As the ruler of the 10^th house, Jupiter (traditional ruler of Pisces) is Chelsea’s co-significator. 

Aston Villa are represented by Saturn (ruler of the 7^th house) and Mercury (ruler of the 4^th house).   

Jupiter, ruler of the 10^th house, is close to the cusp of the 1^st house, but the aspect is separating: What would have been a positive testimony for Chelsea is severely weakened but nevertheless shows that this match is important to Chelsea, who will go all out to win.   

Saturn (lord 7) applies to conjunct the 10^th house (the house of victory and success), a strong testimony for Aston Villa.   

The Moon’s aspects (over the 5 degrees considered most reliable for a 90-minute football match) describe key events in the match: She applies first to square the antiscion of Mercury at 07 Capricorn 49 (lord 4, for Aston Villa) and then goes on to sextile the antiscion of Jupiter at 08 Gemini 06 (lord 10, for Chelsea).  Neither of these aspects are conclusive but point to a very close result.  

Overall, the chart inclines slightly in favour of Aston Villa, but promises a very close match. In charts such as these, a draw is a strong possibility.

The 1^st house, which represents favourites Liverpool is ruled by the Moon (ruler of the sign Cancer).  The Moon already has a key role showing how the events of the match will unfold.  The Moon’s dispositor would usually step in as substitute in such circumstances, but Saturn is already spoken for: As lord of the 7^th house, he is the primary significator for underdogs Spurs.   

This leaves Liverpool with just one significator: Jupiter, lord of the 10^th house (the house of victory for the favourites, and success generally in contest charts).   

In addition to Saturn, ruler of the 7^th house, Spurs have Mercury (lord of the 4^th house, the house of victory for the underdogs) as their co-significator.   

Jupiter, traditional ruler of Pisces and therefore the 10^th house (the house of victory) separates from a conjunction with the Part of Fortune and applies to conjunct the 1^st house cusp: Victory comes to the favourites.   

Or does it?  Saturn (lord of the 7^th house, (and main significator of the underdogs, Spurs) strongly placed in the 10^th house (the house of victory) has potential to cast a cloud of gloom over Liverpool’s hope for a win.   

On balance, Jupiter is closer to the 1^st house cusp than Saturn is to the 10^th, which should give Liverpool the edge.  However, Saturn’s influence for Spurs is strong and should not be underestimated.

The sign Cancer rises, leaving us without a primary significator for the favourites: The Moon, ruler of the first house, already has a key role in contest carts describing how events will unfold during the match.     However, this may not be necessary:  The Moon immediately applies to conjunct the 1^st house cusp, the house of the favourites.  In his book “ Sports Astrology” John Frawley describes this as extremely positive for the favourites “almost as if the cosmos is cheering for it”. 

In the absence of any testimonies in favour of the underdogs, it seems likely that the favourites (at the time of writing, Liverpool) will triumph.
