I've been giving your question a lot of thought, Gem, and although I'd say both explanations make sense, I really think it comes down to the weak Mercury not helping Chelsea (odds-on faves) as we thought it would.

I very much appreciate your thoughts on my questions. I was coming to the same conclusion, particularly because in this case, the LOH was also the LOA.

Hey, in Tuesday's round in the Champion League, for the game Porto - Dynamo I have the MC 0AQ58 and the Moon 2LE24. Is this opposition stron enough to favour the underdog? or bring about a draw?

Moon does apply to the trine of Venus, L1, who is in an angular house - the 7th.

In this case I'd go for a win for L7 - L1 in the 7th means they are overcome by the "enemy". Moon opp MC points the same way.

Are you betting on this one Andrew? It seems like an easy one.

Porto - Dynamo
Odds: 1.53 3.90 7.00

No, SuzieN - I am staying away from this game, as of yet. Dynamo are underdogs, yet the odds are terrific if they pull it off. I've gone for a somewhat easier comibnation of ManU, Lyon (Moon in Leo trine Venus) and VillaReal. Here I have not found anything that I thought would disrupt the favourites, but I must admit I haven't taken the time to wring my brains entirely. Total odds 2,97

I'm also trying another combination of Birmingham, Wolves and Leeds this evening. Total odds here 5,51. It would be terrific if either of them worked out, but I'm mostly in for the fun!

It's a great fortuitous thing, this game tonight. It'll test the scenario where L1 is in H7, which we see again in some of this weekend's games.

How close is Venus to the cusp?

Just wondering.....

There is an interesting game on Wednesday, too.
Chelsea - Rome, 19.45 BST
Odds: 1.42 4.20 9.00

I have Asc 15GE36 MC 10AQ15 Moon 16LE04 POF 1AR56
The game is play on the Day of Mercury and Hour of Venus. The chart is not radical and the Moon is in Leo (Rome) in the 4th. Could Rome suprize?? Wouldn't mind some ideas on this one. Chelsea getting beaten at home seems so unlikely that does it bring it closer to probable (?)

I know what you mean, Anderw. The chart doesn't look good for Chelsea but since we're talking about Chelsea at home... I'll stay away!

Maybe the chart has just got a weiry feeling about it. Leo is Italy and Rome - in reference to the Moons' location. I'm posting the chart. If a prediction can be made against Chelsea's favour and it works out, then that is notable. One thing I have learnt in football is that the favourites don't always win... PS. I calculated the chart using CST (my location) and subtracted the extra hour. Hope that doesn't confuse anyone.

Porto - Dynamo

I note you're point of view. I thought it meant getting being the enemies lines...

Unibet have got a campaign (at least in Norway) on Wednesday's match between Madrid and Liverpool. You get your first bet on this match (up to NOK 500,- ~ Euro 60) for FREE! This means that if you get the match wrong you get your money back. No obligations! Why can't they run their business like that ALL the time???

I think Porto will beat Dynamo - Moon trine Venus (L1). Re Moon conj IC, we've been observing recently that Moon conj any angle seems to favour the favourite. I would also prefer it to be partile to have an effect.

How close is Venus to the cusp?

Not close at all, plus it's in a different sign. It really needs to be within 2 degrees to be meaningful.

I'll have a look at the Chelsea chart later. Good luck with your bets, Andrew!

I put ?3 on a combination of Dynamo beating Porto today and Rome beating Chelsea tomorrow.
