As favourites, Cameroon would usually be represented by the ruler of the 1^st house (the Moon). However, in contest charts the Moon already has an important role, as her aspects often show how events will unfold during the match. Because of this, the Moon’s dispositor (Jupiter) steps in as the main significator for Cameroon. 

Mars, ruler of the 10^th house (house of victory for the favourites), is Cameroon’s co-significator.  

Guinea are represented by Saturn, lord of the opposing 7^th house, and Venus, ruler of the 4^th house. Mars, representing Cameroon’s hopes of victory, is ‘captured’ just inside the 7^th house; a powerful testimony for Guinea.  

The antiscion of Venus (at 09 Capricorn 25) is also just inside the 7^th house cusp, confirming that Guinea’s hopes of victory are within their grasp.  

The opposition between the Part of Fortune and Saturn, lord of the 7^th house would also favour Guinea, but the aspect is already separating so does not signify.  

The applying trine between the Part of Fortune and its dispositor, Mercury, is a mildly positive testimony for favourites Cameroon. 

However, with the majority of testimonies in their favour, this contest chart inclines to favour Guinea, who will prove formidable opponents and should not be underestimated by Cameroon.

Egypt are one of the favourites to win the tournament and this match: As favourites, they would usually be signified by the ruler of the 1^st house, in this case the Moon. As the Moon already has an important role describing how the events of the match will unfold, Jupiter (traditional ruler of Pisces and therefore the Moon’s dispositor) is called from the substitute’s bench to represent Egypt.  

Egypt have Mars (ruler of the 10^th house; the house of victory for the favourites) as their co-significator.  

Their opponents, Mozambique, are signified by Saturn and Venus (rulers of the 7^th and 4^th houses). 

The antiscion of the Part of Fortune (at 09 Taurus 21) is placed close enough to Jupiter (at 05 Taurus 56) to be significant: This is highly positive for favourites Egypt. 

However, Mars (ruler of the 10^th house) paced just inside the cusp of the 7^th house, suggest that Mozambique are determined not to let Egypt dominate the match: Mars in the 7^th house shows Egypt’s hopes of victory ‘captured’ by Mozambique.  

This match will hold a few surprises for both teams: Egypt will have the edge, but their victory is not guaranteed, as Mozambique will prove a force to be reckoned with.

The hosts Ivory Coast are favourites to win this opening match of the Africa Cup of Nations and are therefore represented by the Sun (ruler of the 1^st house) and Venus (ruler of the 10^th house; the house of victory for the favourites). 

Rivals Guinea-Bissau are represented by Saturn (ruler of the opposing 7^th house) and Mars (4^th house ruler). 

The Moon (significator of events during the match) applies to trine the antiscion of Saturn at 25 Libra 32. In the absence of any stronger testimonies, this suggests that Guinea-Bissau may do better than the pundits expect.  However, whether this testimony is strong enough to result in the first major upset of the tournament remains to be seen.

Aston Villa are favourites to win the FA Cup 3^rd Round fixture at Forthbank Stadium this weekend. They are signified by the Sun, ruler of the 1^st house and Mars (ruler of the 10^th house; the house of victory for the favourites). 

Saturn, ruler of the opposing 7^th house, is main significator for Middlesbrough. They are co-represented by Venus, ruler of the 4^th house (the house of victory for the underdogs). 

The Moon’s aspects show how the events of the match will unfold: The first and only lunar aspect of significance (over the 5-degree orb considered most effective for a 90-minute football match), is a square to the Sun. Despite the challenging nature of the square aspect, this powerful testimony for the favourites confirms the opinion of the pundits in favouring Aston Villa for victory.

Liverpool are the favourites and are signified by the Sun, ruler of the 1^st house and Venus, ruler of the 10^th house (the house of victory for the favourites).  

Their opponents Newcastle United are represented by Saturn, ruler of the opposing 7^th house. Mars (ruler of the 4^th house) would be their co-significator, but already has an important role as the dispositor of the Part of Fortune.  

This chart is remarkable for containing no aspects or planetary placements which have any bearing on the result of the game (within the 5-degree orb usually considered effective for a 90-minute football match).  

In such cases, the status quo is usually maintained: Favourites Liverpool, currently first place in the table to Newcastle’s 9^th, should have cause to celebrate.

Fulham may have a home advantage, but the pundits still favour Arsenal to win. As favourites, Arsenal are represented by Mercury, ruler of the 1^st house and Saturn, traditional ruler of Aquarius, the sign on the cusp of the 10^th house (the house of victory for the favourites). 

As the underdogs, Fulham are signified by Jupiter, ruler of the opposing 7^th house and co-signified by the Sun (ruler of the 4^th house). 

The Moon’s aspects (over the 5-degrees usually considered effective for a 90-minute football match) describe how events will unfold: She first applies to an opposition with Saturn, a string testimony for the favourites.  

The Moon’s next (and final aspect within the 5-degree limit) is a trine to Jupiter, for Arsenal.  

With testimonies so finely balanced, a draw is a distinct possibility.

Manchester United’s recent victory against Aston Villa has won the confidence of the pundits, who have declared them favourites in this fixture against Nottingham Forest. 

As favourites, they are represented by the 1^st house. With the sign Cancer on the cusp, the 1^st house in this chart is ruled by the Moon. In contest charts, the Moon and her aspects already have an important role describing how the events of the match will unfold, so her dispositor, the Sun (the Moon currently being placed in the sign of Leo, which is ruled by the Sun) steps in as the main significator for the favourites. 

Mars, ruler of the 10^th house (the house of victory for the favourites), is Manchester United’s co-significator.  

Their hosts and opponents, Nottingham Forest, are represented by Saturn (ruler of the opposing 7^th house) and Venus, ruler of the 4^th house.  

The Moon’s applying trine to the antiscion of the Sun (at 21 Sagittarius 16) is positive for favourites Manchester United. It would be a stronger testimony if the aspect were a conjunction or opposition, but in the absence of any more significant aspects (over the 5-degree orb most effective for a 90-minute football match), is likely to tip the balance in favour of Manchester United.  

The Moon’s next aspect is a trine to Mars, lord of the 10^th house. This aspect also favours the favourites. As the Moon has over 5 degrees to travel to perfect this trine, it most likely points to a late opportunity for Manchester United to consolidate their advantage, especially if the match strays into extra time.

The pundits favour Leeds to win. As favourites, they are signified by the 1^st house and its ruler, the Sun. Venus, ruler of the 10^th house (house of victory for the favourites) is their co-significator. 

Hosts and opponents West Bromwich Albion are signified by Saturn, ruler of the opposing 7^th house and Mars, ruler of the 4^th house (the house of victory for the underdogs).  

This chart is remarkable for its lack of strong testimonies in favour of either team: In such cases, the status quo is usually upheld, resulting in a win for the favourites.  

This appears to be confirmed by the placement of the antiscion of the Moon (at 19 Taurus 52) in the 10^th house. Although the Moon’s antiscion is a little further from the house cusp than we would like (1-2 degrees is the general rule), in the absence of any stronger testimonies it might tip the balance towards the favourites. The conjunction of the Moon’s antiscion with Uranus is less significant but may hint at unexpected or surprising developments during the match.  

This is likely to be a very close contest: A win for the favourites is most likely, but a draw cannot be ruled out.

Although Spurs are currently placed higher in the table, the bookmaker’s odds favour home side Brighton: As favourites, Brighton are awarded the Sun (ruler of the 1^st house) and Venus (ruler of the 10^th house; the house of victory for the favourites). 

Saturn, ruler of the opposing 7^th house, represents Tottenham, who also have Mars, ruler of the 4^th house as their co-significator.  

The Moon, who describes how events will unfold during the match, applies to trine Venus; a strong testimony for the favourites which should be sufficient to win them the match. 

If the bookies odds are correct, and Brighton truly are the favourites, they should have cause to celebrate this evening.

Placed 5th in the Premier League table to Everton’s 17th, Manchester City are odds-on favourites to win. As favourites, they are awarded the 1st house and its ruler, the Sun. Their co-significator is Venus, ruler of the 10th house (the house of victory for the favourites).

Hosts Everton, as the underdogs, are represented by Saturn (ruler of the opposing 7th house) and Mars (ruler of the 4th house).

The Moon, at 15 degrees Cancer, makes no aspect to any relevant planet or house cusp, or the Part of Fortune over the 5-degree orb usually considered effective for a 90-minute football match.

However, the Part of Fortune receives aspects from the main significators of both teams: A sextile from the Sun (for Manchester City) and a conjunction from Saturn (for Everton). Of these aspects, the conjunction with Saturn is strongest for two reasons: 

Firstly, Saturn applies to a conjunction with the Part of Fortune whilst the sextile from the Sun is separating. Only applying aspects have a bearing on future events in contest charts.

Secondly, John Frawley in his book “Sports Astrology” observes that only conjunction and opposition aspects from main significators to the Part of Fortune work reliably; sextiles and squares are much less significant. 

If we take these points into consideration, this chart only has one testimony which has a bearing on the result: The applying conjunction from Saturn to the Part of Fortune. This hints that Everton will do much better than the pundits expect. Either this match will be won by Everton, or the result will be such that it will seem nearly as good as a win (possibly a draw).
