Wolfburg - ManU 1-3
Chelsea - Apoel 2-2

Leeds - Kettering 5-1 (1-1)
Middlesbrough - Blackpool 0-3

POOR Kettering! My heart goes out to these guys who fell apart in the 2nd half of extra time and let in 4 goals in the last 12 minutes. I was so wrong. Leeds really did struggle and 'Brough have lost it, too. At least that is consequent. The intresting thing must be here in several games how the charts transfered virtue to the underdogs. The Moon in sinister square to the Sun, below the horizon?

None of the home teams won in the Champions League! A pity that Chelsea played a draw. That late goal robbet me of a 10:1 tripplet with Real Madrid and Barcelona winning away in their matches.

UNDERDOG CITY!

With 6 draws and ManU being beaten at home by Villa and Tottenham being beaten at home by Wolves - this Saturday was nothing else but an UNDERDOG CIYT!! The only favourite that got their way was B'ham at home beating WestHam 1-0.

Other Spectacular results;
Chelsea - Everton 3-3
Bolton - ManC 3-3
Championship:
Barnsley - Newcastle 2-2
League 1:
Brentford - Leeds 0-0
League 2:
Morcambe - Bornemouth 5-0

Was there anything special going on UP THERE??

An amazing set of results and broken records in the Premier League!

Was there anything special going on UP THERE??

Moon (in via combusta) semi-square Sun? A minor aspect indeed but exact at 3pm kick-off time. However, since it didn't affect the Birmingham game, I suppose we'd have to look at each individual chart to find a possible explanation. With only one favourite winning yesterday, can we assume that Liverpool will win today?

Apparently not! Yet more success for the underdogs with both Liverpool and Boro losing at home. Impossible to take anything for granted this weekend.

It was indeed an astonishing weekend in the English Premiership.

There are four charts to look at: 12:45 (Stoke - Wigan), 17:30 (Manchester Utd - Aston Villa) and 15:00 (the other seven games) for Saturday and 16:00 for Sunday (Liverpool - Arsenal). I will make an attempt to find out why so many unexpected results occurred.

For the 15:00 games, I will take Burnley vs. Fulham since the Asc fro this match is in the middle of the range for all.

So it looks like something was definitely going on up there this weekend.

I was wondering - looking at the Sun's application to the square of Uranus - it's a little off orb, but Jupiter, who is dispositor of the Sun, was in an exact semi-sextile with Uranus and these two planets might by some be considered as in mutual reception. This configuration occured in the degrees of the nodes.

The Moon is Scorpio was disposed by slow Mars, who is going nowhere. If anything, the Sun was translating the virtue of Mars forward to Jupiter/Uranus. This doesn't quite add up, but essentially I wondered whether it was the Sun's applying square to Uranus that was knocking in a little ahead of time.

Interesting approach by Aquirata. I will have to work through it and let it sink in.

Another way of looking at it:
The preceeding lunation, i.e. the waning half-moon of 9 Dec 2009, 00.14 GMT - cast for London; freaky Uranus is on the descendant of the chart and Mercury, L10, is in the 4th house of 'draws' or buried secrets.

I don't know, I'm just looking around. The triplet Wolves, Villa and Chelsea-Everton gave odds in excess of 400:1.

Hi Peter,

Welcome back and thanks for the analyses. You've certainly put a lot of hard work into them. If you'd done them beforehand you could have made a fortune! I have a couple of questions re Burnley/Fulham.

Mercury in 8th, Jupiter in turned 5th (F)

How does the favourite benefit here? I'd have thought the turned 5th was better than the 8th, thereby favouring the underdog.

Part of Fortune: sextile Jupiter (F)

Since Jupiter is L7, wouldn't this testimony favour the underdog?

The 8th is more elevated (closer to MC, victory) than the 5th.

Yes, that's a good point. It could be taken as a double testimony, one for F and one for U, making it even. In that case, the underdogs have a slight upper hand, which could be balanced by stronger teams on the other side, leading to draws most of the time.

If you'd done them beforehand you could have made a fortune!

Yes but not knowing the result would make the analysis unduly difficult!

Coca-Cola League Championship
West Brom v QPR (1.61-3.75-5.50)
Dec 14, 19:45

ASC 10-LEO-04

MOON sxt SATU (L7) >0?0'<. No that's an exact aspect. This is a testimony for the DSC team which allegedly is the underdog but something tells me West Brom is the DSC team and the fave will get it done.

Let me try my hand at this game also.

West Brom (F) - QPR (U)
14 Dec 2009, 19:45 UT, West Bromwich, UK
Asc 10Leo02, MC 19Ari20, Sun 22Sag57, Moon 3Sag50

F = Sun, U = Saturn

Essential dignities: Sun=-5, Saturn=+6 (U)
Sun in 5th, Saturn in turned 9th (U)
Moon sextile Saturn (U)
Part of Fortune conjunct South Node (U)
Part of Success parallel Mars (U)
Betelgeuse parallel MC (U)

Overall: F=0, U=6

This chart is screaming for an upset but this is before the result is known!

I have also noticed that QPR manager Jim Magilton's (6 May 1969, Belfast, UK) Mars is conjunct transiting Venus, which is another testimony for his team. West Brom's manager Roberto Di Matteo (29 May 1970, Schaffhausen, Switzerland) has no classical aspects to his Mars within 1 degree.
