Month: July 2023

As favourites, South Korea are signified by Mercury, ruler of the 1^st and 10^th houses (the 10^th is the house of victory for the favourites). 

Jupiter, ruler of the opposing 7^th and 4^th houses, represents Columbia.  

The proximity of Mercury to the Part of Fortune is a powerful testimony of victory for favourites South Korea. 

The antiscion of the Part of Fortune (at 08 Taurus 40) is placed near to Jupiter (for Columbia) but not quite close enough for this testimony to be significant.  

 The Moon describes the progression of events during the match:  She applies first to sextile the antiscion of Jupiter at 18 Leo 10 (a minor testimony for Columbia), then sextiles the Part of Fortune and Mercury; both stronger testimonies for favourites South Korea. 

There is a possibility of goals for both sides, but the likely winner will be South Korea.

The pundits favour France to win, so they are represented by Jupiter (lord of the 1^st and 10^th house). 

Mercury, lord of the opposing 7^th and 4^th houses, signifies Jamaica. 

The Part of Fortune is placed very close to Jupiter, a strong testimony for France. This, in the absence of any other testimonies, would point to a clear victory for France.  

However, the antiscion of Mercury (at 09 Taurus 14) is placed even closer to the Part of Fortune. The symbolism is clear: Jamaica stands between France and victory.  

This promises to be a closely fought game: A win for Jamaica is very possible.

As favourites, England are represented by Saturn (lord of the 1^st house) and Mars (lord of the 10^th house, victory for the favourites). 

Rivals Haiti have the Sun and Venus (lords of the opposing 7^th and 4^th houses respectively).  

Venus (4^th house ruler) sits on the cusp of the 7^th house. This is a positive testimony for Haiti, who should be in fine form for their opening game of the tournament.  

The antiscion of the Part of Fortune (at 10 Virgo 19) is just close enough to Mars to be significant, and (in the absence of any stronger testimonies) may just edge the game in favour of England. 

However, this match promises to be a closer contest than the pundits expect, and a draw cannot be ruled out.

Placed second in Group C, Canada are odds-on favourites to win their first tournament fixture against Nigeria in Melbourne. But do the heavens agree? 

As favourites, Canada are represented by Mars (lord of the 1^st house).  

The Moon (lord of the 10^th house; victory for the favourites) already has a role tracking the progress of events so her dispositor, Mercury stands in as Canada’s co-significator.  

Nigeria, placed 3^rd in their group, are represented by Venus (lord of the opposing 7^th house) and Saturn, (lord of the 4^th house).  

The Moon first applies to oppose Saturn. Despite the challenging nature of this aspect, this is a fortunate testimony for Nigeria. They will prove a force to be reckoned with: Expect goals from both sides in this match.

Venus (representing Nigeria) placed in the 10^th house (victory for Canada), favours Canada.  

The Moon next applies to conjunct Mars, another powerful testimony for the favourites. Since conjunctions from the Moon are usually decisive in contest charts, this aspect signals victory for Canada.

Norway are favoured to win the opening match of the tournament, when these two Group A sides meet in Auckland, New Zealand.  

As favourites, Norway are signified by Saturn (lord of the 1^st house) and Mars (lord of the 10^th house; victory for the favourites). 

Rivals and hosts New Zealand are represented by the Sun (lord of the opposing 7^th house) and Venus (lord of the 4^th house; victory for the underdogs). 

The most significant aspect here is the applying conjunction from the Moon (which describes the progress of events) to Venus (lord 4); a powerful testimony for New Zealand.  

In his book “Sports Astrology” John Frawley observes that conjunctions from the Moon are usually conclusive in contest charts, suggesting the home crowd will have cause to celebrate.
