As odds-on favourites, Nigeria would usually represented by the 1st house and its ruler. However, the Moon (1st house ruler) already has a role describing the flow of events, so her dispositor, Mars steps forward from the substitute’s bench as significator for the favourites.
Mars also rules the 10th house (the house of victory for the favourites) and so is Nigeria’s sole significator for this game.
Their opponents Angola are signified by Saturn, ruler of the 7th house and Venus, ruler of the 4th house.
The Moon applies to square Venus: Despite the challenging nature of the square aspect, this is very favourable for Angola.
In the absence of any other significant testimonies, Angola can be expected to do better than the pundits have predicted, and Nigeria will have to work hard for their place in the Semi-finals.
