This is interesting chart becouse it shaws several things but it is difficult to change in astrology.
Mercury or any planet close to the cusp from the other house is not at the cusp and does not rule anything. When you close the door of the house it is behind you and there is no way back.This is very clear in this chart. The POF conjunction to Venus does not produce the winner Venus but produced goal. The conjunction POF to Venus happened just a moment before ASC axis changed signs if we give a tolerance or what other call orbs it could be, but I think that sign change produced goal as it does not necceserially at this match .
Moon in the 4th house is at the cusp of the 4th and rules the 4th.
The essential dignity of Mercury is much lower than Jupiter this is important. So weak Merc can produce nothing.
POF and Moon came to opposition too late for any change as it was almost at the end of the match. Even more that was not the sign for goal at least. The question is if that happened during the match, I do not know. But exact aspect surely not.
Presence of Saturn sometimes produces no goals but not always. This time at this match it was like in most of cases no goal or the most one goal until in the 1st or 7th house, or sometimes at 4th and 10th.
If we forget the dignities we do not know about strength of any aspect planets make to each other.
My opinion is that this approach deserves extremly care about the strength of the planets even more than easy ones as to watch dignities of the rulers 1 and 7 only. Anyway I think that this is not the easy chart. But predictable.
This approach can be used for overcome prediction and also for most interesting from 1-2, home team wins the first half, Away wins the match.
Late notification. Merc is peregrined. Moon Void of Course, favourites win. But is Montpellier real favourite against Olympic? Odds say that they are equal.
But in the chart Atletico Madrid-Real 11Apr2012 Venus ruler of the 7th was also peregrined but Real won
.
I do not have doubts.
