151 by Ficina Re ManC/Portsmouth With Moon aspecting Jupiter (albeit by opposition) and both planets angular, we might expect a high-scoring game. (The experts are going for City to score 3+ goals.) One would expect Portsmouth to play a defensive, blocking kind of game and the fact they are signified by Saturn would support this. When the hour-ruler changes to Venus about 20 mins into the game, there should be goal-scoring opportunities for both sides. Arsenal v ManU 4pm GMT, Asc 4?19' Leo, MC 11?35' Aries Odds: 2.37, 3.40, 2.87 Arsenal are marginal faves. Chart is radical by triplicity; hour-ruler Saturn is L7. Sun L1 sextile MC; Saturn L7 sextile Asc. Possible draw? I have noted several things going on at 4.42pm. Sun crosses Desc, hour-ruler changes to Jupiter, Success opposes Saturn and Conquest opposes Mars (red-Arsenal). It will be interesting to see what (if anything!) happens then, just before half-time.

153 by Ficina Portsmouth were the better team in the 1st half and ManC's first goal was against the run of play. However, both their goals were scored during the Venus hour (ManC in light blue=Venus) at 2.12pm and 2.18pm Quote Sun Jan 31, 2010 3:56 pm
154 by Ficina Arsenal 1 - 3 ManU Goal times: 4.33 (0-1) 4.38 (0-2) - close-ish to 4.42 5.10 (0-3) - MC changed signs and Venus crossed Desc 5.38 (1-3) Bad day for the Gunners. Sun L1 conjunct Part of Death - again! Quote Sun Jan 31, 2010 6:16 pm
155 by GB What definition are you using for the Point of Death? I have tried to reproduce your aspects but am getting a different position, so I think my definition must be wrong Thanks. Quote Sun Jan 31, 2010 7:27 pm
156 by Ficina It's the Part of Death as listed in Solar Fire and was conjunct Sun at 4.50pm. Not that the exact time is particularly important and it will vary slightly with different house systems anyway, given the formula which is Ascendant + 8th cusp - Moon. To be honest I'm not all that happy with it because it's different from Al Biruni's version which is Saturn + 8th cusp - Moon. I've no idea where SF got their formula from but it seems to be working in these charts so I suppose I shouldn't really knock it Quote Sun Jan 31, 2010 8:59 pm
157 by GB Thanks. I had been using the Al Biruni formula. I will try the SF one and compare it. Quote Sun Jan 31, 2010 9:41 pm
