At the time of writing, the Philadelphia Eagles are current favourites to win this year’s Super Bowl, and are signified by the Sun, ruler of the 1^st house. Usually, they would also have the ruler of the 10^th house (Mars) as their co-significator, but he already has an important role as dispositor of the Part of Fortune. 

Saturn, lord of the opposing 7^th house signifies the Kansas City Chiefs, who are also represented by Venus, lord of the 4^th house. 

Saturn (the Chiefs) is well placed in Aquarius, the sign he traditionally rules, and the Sun (the Eagles), also in Aquarius, is in the sign of his detriment.  

However, accidental dignity tends to be far more important than essential dignity in contest charts, so all this tells us is that the Eagles will play well, but not necessarily that they will win.  

The Part of Fortune is placed just inside the 10^th house cusp, but it is not its bodily placement which is important: As John Frawley in his book “Sports Astrology” notes, the Part of Fortune is linked to the phase of the Moon, so any game which begins around the New Moon would be won by the favourites, and the underdogs would win any game timed to start on a Full Moon. History shows this is not the case.  

The antiscion of the Part of Fortune is more variable by sign and placement over the course of a lunar month and therefore has greater significance. However, in this chart, at 04 Virgo 19, the antiscion of the Part of Fortune aspects none of the main significators and therefore has little to tell us about the result.  

It is up to the Moon, who describes the progress of events during the game, to point us to the potential winner. The Moon applies to aspect both the Sun and Saturn by square but must travel well over the 5 degrees usually considered effective for American football (John Frawley has observed that there is even less leeway possible for this rule than in British soccer). Therefore, neither of these aspects should have a bearing on the result.  

This leaves just one lunar aspect of note: A trine from the Moon to Venus, who as lord of the 4^th house represents the Chiefs. A win for the Kansas City Chiefs seems the most likely outcome.

Placed 4^th in the table to Bournemouth’s 19^th, Newcastle are favourites and are signified by the Sun, ruler of the 1^st house, and Venus, ruler of the 10^th house (victory for the favourites).  

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

Saturn, for Bournemouth is strongly placed in Aquarius (a sign he traditionally rules) in the 7^th house: Bournemouth will play well in front of their home crowd.  

The Sun (representing Newcastle) placed just above the cusp of the 7^th house might show a win for the favourites (depicting them essentially dominating their rivals), but, at just under 4 degrees, the Sun is a little too far from the cusp to be considered fully effective (1 or 2 degrees is more reliable).  

It is the placement of the Part of Fortune (or rather its antiscion) which decides this match: At 27 Leo 15, the antiscion of the Part of Fortune is very closely conjunct the 1^st house cusp, awarding the match to the favourites. The opposition between the antiscion of the Part of Fortune and Saturn (Bournemouth) further confirms this result.

Favourites Tottenham are awarded the 1st house and its ruler, the Sun. They are also represented by Venus, ruler of the 10th house (victory for the favourites).

Hosts and rivals Preston are signified by Saturn, ruler of the opposing 7th house, and Mars (ruler of the 4th house; victory for the underdogs).

Saturn is strongly placed in the 7th house in Aquarius, a sign he traditionally rules: Preston will put up a good fight, but will it be enough for them to win?

The Moon makes no applying aspect to any of the planets representing either side. However, her placement in the 10th house, very close to the 10th house cusp, favours the favourites.

Preston will play well, but it will not be enough to prevent victory for Spurs.

Despite setbacks due to illness and injury, Manchester Utd are nevertheless the pundits’ favourites to win against Reading. But do the heavens agree?

As ruler of the 1st and 10th houses, Mercury represents Manchester Utd, whilst opponents Reading are described by Jupiter, ruler of the 7th and 4th houses.

The Moon’s applying trine to Mercury is the only significant aspect (over the 5 degree orb usually effective for 90-minute football matches: Victory for favourites Manchester Utd seems likely.

For the time being, I’ll be taking a break from football forecasts while I work on other projects. Please check back for further updates.

Finland reached the Women’s Euro semi-finals in 2005.  Spain have only ever reached the quarter-finals, although they have achieved this twice (in 2013-2017).  Since then, Spain’s form has been steadily on the rise, making them this fixture’s favourites.   

Spain are signified by Mars (Lord 1) and Mercury (Lord 10, victory for the favourites).  Opponents Finland have Venus (Lord 7) and Jupiter (Lord 4) as their representatives.   

The Moon, main significator of the progress of events, applies to trine Mercury: Favourites Spain can be expected to make most of the running.  

 
Eight-times tournament winners Germany are favourites for this match (and serious contenders for the tournament title) but recent form suggests it would be unwise to underestimate Denmark either.

Germany are signified by Jupiter (Lord 1) and Mars (Lord 10). Rivals Denmark are signified by Mercury (Lord of the opposing 7^th house) and Venus (Lord 4).  

The Moon’s placement, (very close to the 10^th house cusp) gives a huge boost to Germany, who are also supported by the imminent lunar sextile to the antiscion of the Part of Fortune at 10 Virgo 13.  

However, Mercury also applies to sextile the antiscion of the Part of Fortune, a sign that we can expect a spirited performance from Denmark, who will be determined not to make things easy for their rivals.  

Mars’ placement on the 4^th house cusp may tip the balance in Germany’s favour. As ruler of the 10^th house, Mars represents victory for the favourites, whilst the 4^th house symbolises Denmark’s hopes of victory: Denmark’s dreams of winning are in the power of their rivals. A victory for Germany is the most likely outcome.

Astrological Football Forecasts will be taking a short break but will be back soon, so watch this space!

I’ll be taking a short break from football forecasts this weekend but be sure to watch this space as I’ll be back soon with more astrological football forecasting!

Currently placed 2nd in the Premiership, Manchester City are favoured to win. As favourites, they are signified by the 1st house and its ruler Jupiter (at 24 Aquarius 14). Mercury (at 08 Aquarius 17) , ruler of the opposing 7th house describes opponents Everton.

The Moon’s application to a trine with Jupiter is a promising testimony of victory for the favourites. However, the proximity of the Moon to the cusp of the 4th house (victory for the underdogs), points to a stronger than expected performance from Everton.

Victory for City is the likeliest outcome, but expect goals for both sides.

Currently placed in the table at 4^th and 5^th respectively, and with 3 wins each, the fortunes of Manchester United and Everton couldn’t be closer.  Nevertheless, the pundits seem confident that Manchester United are odds-on favourites:  As such, they are awarded the 1^st house and its ruling planet Jupiter (22 Aquarius 44 retrograde) as their main significators.  

Rivals Everton are described by the opposing 7^th house and its  ruler Mercury (also retrograde at 23 Libra 47). 

The Moon, who describes how events will unfold during the match, applies to oppose Jupiter.  In contest charts, the nature of the Moon’s aspect matters less than the planet she aspects:  Although this aspect is an opposition, it is still a very good sign for the favourites.   

The Moon then makes a sextile to Mercury.  This is equally beneficial to Everton:  Clearly a draw cannot be ruled out.   

However, the Moon’s next aspect is a sextile to Venus.  As Venus rules the 10^th house (victory for the favourites), this may tip the scales in favour of Manchester United.  This aspect is just outside the 5 degree orb usually considered effective for a 90 minute football match, so Everton should be on their guard in the latter stages of the game (and particularly during any extra time) when Manchester United could seize the advantage.
