According to the pundits, home team Liverpool have a slight advantage over Arsenal, and are therefore considered the favourites.  

The Moon (ruler of the 1^st house) already has an important role as significator of events during the match: Therefore, Venus, dispositor of the Moon, is called from the substitutes bench to represent Liverpool.  

Liverpool’s co-significator would usually be Jupiter (ruler of the 10^th house of victory for the favourites). However, Jupiter is already spoken for as dispositor of the Part of Fortune, so Venus remains the sole significator for Liverpool. 

Saturn, ruler of the opposing 7^th house, represents Arsenal. They also have a co-significator, Mercury (ruler of the 4^th house of victory for the underdogs).  

In contest charts, the result is most often decided by the Moon’s aspects. The only significant aspect the Moon makes (within the 5-degree orb usually considered most effective for a 90-minute football match) is an opposition to Venus, a strong testimony for favourites Liverpool. 

This chart favours the favourites: Liverpool’s fans should have cause to celebrate this evening.

Visitors Liverpool are odds-on favourites to win so, in John Frawley’s system, are awarded the 1^st house and Jupiter, the traditional ruler of Pisces.  

Their hosts, Crystal Palace, are not expected to do well. As the underdogs, they have Mercury, ruler of the opposing 7^th house, as their significator.  

Mercury’s placement in the 10^th house of victory is very fortunate for Crystal Palace. It would be even more so if it were close to the house cusp, but even in an intercepted sign, this is a positive testimony.  

The lunar aspects often decide the result of the match. Here, the first aspect from the Moon (which has a bearing on the outcome) is an opposition to Jupiter; a positive testimony for Liverpool.  

The only other aspect which the Moon makes within her effective orb of 5 degrees is a sextile to Mercury; a strong testimony for Crystal Palace.  

So, we have one lunar aspect for each team, and a further positive testimony (Mercury in the 10^th house) for Crystal Palace. 

Palace will do much better than expected. The testimonies are not conclusive enough to guarantee a win, but a draw seems very likely.

For Saturday’s League Two match at Meadow Lane, the odds favour hosts Notts County to win. 

As favourites, they are awarded the 1^st house and its ruler, Saturn (at 00 Pisces 41). Notts County are also signified by Jupiter, ruler of the 10^th house (house of success for the favourites).  

Rivals Bradford City have the Sun, ruler of the opposing 7^th house as their primary significator. Mercury, ruler of Gemini and the 4^th house (victory for the underdogs), is their co-significator.  

In charts for sporting contests, the Moon’s aspects often decide the result. In this chart, she applies first to conjunct the cusp of the 1^st house, delivering a huge boost to the fortunes of home side Notts County.  

An orb of 5 degrees is the most reliable of lunar aspects in 90-minute football matches. The only other aspect within this orb is the conjunction of the Moon to the antiscion of the Sun (at 04 Aquarius 07). This is highly fortunate for Bradford City: Although not quite as strong as a bodily conjunction, this is the last lunar aspect within orb and might have been sufficient to award Bradford City the match, in the absence of any stronger testimonies. 

However, it cannot be ignored that the antiscion of the Sun is located just inside the 1^st house, placing Bradford City in the power of the Notts County. 

Victory for favourites Notts County seems the most likely result.

Fulham have had an inconsistent start to the new season but are still doing better than Chelsea, at the time of writing, placed 11^th to Chelsea’s 15^th in the Table.  

The home advantage also favours Fulham, so it makes sense to consider them the favourites. As favourites, Fulham are represented by the 1^st house and its ruler, Venus (the planet which rules Taurus). Saturn, ruler of the 10^th house (victory for the favourites) is Fulham’s co-significator.  

Mars, ruler of Scorpio and the opposing 7^th house, represents rivals Chelsea. He is their sole significator in this match as the Moon, ruler of the 4^th house (victory for the underdogs) has another job describing how events will unfold during the match.  

The Moon’s role in this match is decisive: She is placed just inside the 1^st house, conjunct the 1^st house cusp. This is a tremendous boost for Fulham. The Moon also applies to trine Venus, Fulham’s main significator. These two powerful testimonies are sufficiently strong to award the match to the home team. 

Adding to Chelsea’s pain, Mars, their only significator, is closely conjunct the South Node which, in contest charts, is a baleful affliction.  

A win for Fulham seems the likely prospect.

Currently placed 4^th in the world rankings with Australia in 10^th place, England are the favourites. However, Australia have a strong home advantage in the support of the Sydney home crowd: The result of this match is far from a foregone conclusion, and the heavens appear to agree. 

Unlike other methods of judging contest charts, which automatically award the 1^st house and its ruler to the home team, John Frawley’s method, outlined in his book; “Sports Astrology” gives the 1st house and ruler to the favourites. Therefore, Jupiter is the planet which signifies England.  

Mercury, ruler of the opposing 7^th house, represents their hosts and rivals, Australia.  

The match takes place during a New Moon, which automatically places the Part of Fortune on the ascendant. This does not signify, otherwise the favourites would win every match scheduled at the New Moon, which does not happen. 

More significant is retrograde Neptune’s proximity to the Part of Fortune and the 1^st house cusp. Neptune produces unexpected outcomes and, like Pluto, appears to work against the favourites, so this is a worry for England. 

Accidental strength is more important than essential dignity in contest charts, but it is worth noting that Mercury is in Virgo, the sign of his rulership and exaltation, and applies to the 7^th house cusp: A formidable performance from Australia can be expected; they have the confidence and ability to win and should not be underestimated.  

Overall, this chart is notable for its lack of clear testimonies for either side. However, the strength of Mercury (a positive for Australia) and Neptune’s affliction of the 1^st house cusp (which spells trouble for England) are signs that the home crowd may have cause to celebrate at the final whistle.

As favourites, Spain are signified by Venus, lord of the 1^st house. Usually, they would also have the ruler of the 10^th house (victory for the favourites) as their co-significator, but the Moon (10^th house ruler) is already spoken for as significator of events. 

Sweden are awarded Mars (ruler of the opposing 7^th house) and Saturn, ruler of the 4^th house (opposite house from the 10th).  

The Moon applying to trine the antiscion of Mars (at 08 Aries 05) is positive for Sweden: This testimony is not as strong as if the aspect were a conjunction or opposition, but shows promise that Sweden will play well, and are likely to score at least one goal. 

This is the only aspect the Moon makes within the 5 degrees considered reliably effective for a 90-minute football match: In the absence of any other testimonies, the lunar trine to the antiscion of Mars might have won Sweden the match.  

However, the Part of Fortune’s close conjunction with her dispositor, Mercury, strongly favours the favourites. Mars (main significator for Sweden) is close to the Part of Fortune, but Mercury is closer, standing between Sweden (Mars) and their hopes of victory (the Part of Fortune). A win for Spain is the likely outcome.

As favourites, South Korea are signified by Mercury, ruler of the 1^st and 10^th houses (the 10^th is the house of victory for the favourites). 

Jupiter, ruler of the opposing 7^th and 4^th houses, represents Columbia.  

The proximity of Mercury to the Part of Fortune is a powerful testimony of victory for favourites South Korea. 

The antiscion of the Part of Fortune (at 08 Taurus 40) is placed near to Jupiter (for Columbia) but not quite close enough for this testimony to be significant.  

 The Moon describes the progression of events during the match:  She applies first to sextile the antiscion of Jupiter at 18 Leo 10 (a minor testimony for Columbia), then sextiles the Part of Fortune and Mercury; both stronger testimonies for favourites South Korea. 

There is a possibility of goals for both sides, but the likely winner will be South Korea.

The pundits favour France to win, so they are represented by Jupiter (lord of the 1^st and 10^th house). 

Mercury, lord of the opposing 7^th and 4^th houses, signifies Jamaica. 

The Part of Fortune is placed very close to Jupiter, a strong testimony for France. This, in the absence of any other testimonies, would point to a clear victory for France.  

However, the antiscion of Mercury (at 09 Taurus 14) is placed even closer to the Part of Fortune. The symbolism is clear: Jamaica stands between France and victory.  

This promises to be a closely fought game: A win for Jamaica is very possible.

As favourites, England are represented by Saturn (lord of the 1^st house) and Mars (lord of the 10^th house, victory for the favourites). 

Rivals Haiti have the Sun and Venus (lords of the opposing 7^th and 4^th houses respectively).  

Venus (4^th house ruler) sits on the cusp of the 7^th house. This is a positive testimony for Haiti, who should be in fine form for their opening game of the tournament.  

The antiscion of the Part of Fortune (at 10 Virgo 19) is just close enough to Mars to be significant, and (in the absence of any stronger testimonies) may just edge the game in favour of England. 

However, this match promises to be a closer contest than the pundits expect, and a draw cannot be ruled out.
