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 1st house).
The Moon (lord of the 10th 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 3rd in their group, are represented by Venus (lord of the opposing 7th house) and Saturn, (lord of the 4th 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 10th 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.
