Regiomontanus houses, set for the kickoff as listed: Tuesday 20 October 2026, 8:00 PM WEST (19:00 UTC), Estádio do Dragão, Porto (41.16°N, 8.58°W). Night chart. FC Porto holds the 1st house and PSV Eindhoven the 7th. Porto is both favourite and home side, so the favourite-first and home-first conventions agree and the assignment is not in doubt. Lord 1 is Venus and Lord 7 is Mars. The houses of success are the 10th for Porto (Lord Saturn) and the 4th for PSV (Lord Sun). Lilly's dignity table with Ptolemaic terms and Chaldean faces. Fortune follows the night formula, reversed at night. The 5° rule is applied as the facts apply it.
| Position | House | Condition | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Asc / Dsc | 25°43' Taurus / Scorpio | Lord 1 = Venus (Porto), Lord 7 = Mars (PSV) | |
| Venus | 2°47' Scorpio | 6 | Lord 1; detriment, peregrine (−10); retrograde, slow, combust |
| Mars | 12°47' Leo | 4 | Lord 7; peregrine (−5); direct, normal speed; 9°25' past the IC |
| Moon | 20°53' Aquarius | 10 | face (+1); last square Mercury, next opposition Jupiter; not void |
| Sun | 27°24' Libra | 6 | Lord 4 and 5; fall, peregrine (−9); applying to Venus |
| Saturn | 10°03' Aries | 12 | Lord 10; fall, peregrine (−9); retrograde; strict house 11 within ten minutes |
| Jupiter | 22°49' Leo | 4 | triplicity and term (+5); square both Asc and Dsc by 2°53' |
| Fortune | 2°14' Aquarius (night formula) | 10 | day formula would give 19°11' Virgo, 5th |
For FC Porto
Moon and Fortune in the 10th. The Moon, the common significator, sits in the 10th, Porto's house of success, and Fortune by the night formula lies in the same house. Those are the best things the chart says for Porto. Both rest on conventions. The Moon's placement in the 10th changes within ten minutes either side of the chart under the 5° rule, so it is unstable. Fortune goes to the 5th, Virgo, if the formula is not reversed, and the testimony then vanishes.
The Moon's last aspect. The Moon separates from a square to Mercury, 1.2 hours before the chart, and is not void of course. Mercury signifies neither side, so no light is carried to either significator. The Moon's own condition is thin, face only (+1). It gives Porto a place, not a lead.
Saturn and the Sun's affliction. Saturn, Lord 10, is in fall and retrograde, so Porto's own house of success is poorly served. PSV's Lord 4, the Sun, is also in fall (−9). Saturn trines Mars, but that trine is separating, so it adds nothing. The two houses of success are about equally afflicted and Porto gets no net credit.
For PSV Eindhoven
Essential dignity. Mars scores −5, peregrine, direct and at normal speed. Venus scores −10, in detriment and peregrine. Neither significator is dignified, but Mars is the better of two poor ones by five points, and that margin falls to PSV.
Reception. Venus sits in Scorpio, a sign of Mars. Lord 1 is therefore in Lord 7's domicile: Porto's significator is in PSV's power. The reception is one-way, since Mars is in Leo, a sign Venus does not rule. A significator that must rely on the other's house is the weaker party. This is the strongest testimony in the chart and it favours PSV.
Venus afflicted: combustion, retrogradation, slowness. Venus is combust, with the Sun applying to it from 5°23', and it is retrograde and slow at 0.586° a day. It is also in the 6th house, a cadent house of no strength. Lord 1 in that condition is a side that is weak, hindered and going the wrong way. Venus also squares both the MC and the IC within 1°. That touches the houses of success of both sides, so it is a general affliction and carries little weight for either.
Angularity and Jupiter. Mars is in the 4th, an angular house and PSV's own house of success, with Jupiter beside it in Leo. Jupiter is dignified (+5), by triplicity and term. Mars is 9°25' past the IC, so the angularity is looser than a close conjunction would give. Jupiter's placement in the 4th depends on the 5° rule and changes within ten minutes, so it is unstable. Jupiter squares the Ascendant and the Descendant at equal orbs, which is no help to either side. The Moon's next aspect is the opposition to Jupiter.
Judgment. The chart leans to PSV Eindhoven. Porto's significator is combust, retrograde and in detriment, and sits in the power of Mars, while Mars is angular and the less afflicted. The Moon and Fortune in Porto's 10th keep the matter open, but both rest on conventions or on unstable house placements.
