At the time of writing, Germany are second favourites to be tournament victors: Only defending champions Spain have better odds.
In their debut match, Germany won convincingly against Poland (2-0), while Denmark conceded points to Sweden, losing 0-1 to a goal in the 55th minute.
This game against Germany will be Denmark’s toughest challenge in Group C, and they will need to do well to assure their place in the next round.
The 1st house and its ruler, Jupiter, represent favourites Germany: At 06 Cancer 33, Jupiter is still afflicted by the Sun at 16 Cancer 44, by being ‘under the sunbeams’. This debility is much weaker than affliction by combustion but is worthy of note.
Mercury (ruler of the 7th house) signify their opponents, Denmark.
The ruler of the 10th house would usually be co-significator for the favourites, just as the ruler of the 4th house would co-signify the underdogs. This chart is slightly unusual in that the ruler of the 10th house (for Germany) is Mercury, the main significator for Denmark and the 4th house ruler (for Denmark) is Jupiter, who is already spoken for as main significator for Germany: Jupiter’s and Mercury’s roles as rulers of the 1st and 7th house take precedence, so the teams have just one significator each.
The Moon’s aspects decide more sporting contests than any other testimonies: In this chart, she makes just one aspect of significance (over the usual 5-degree orb of reliability for 90-minute football matches), an opposition to the antiscion of Jupiter at 23 Gemini 27. Despite the challenging nature of the opposition aspect, this boosts the fortunes of favourites, Germany. It is a weaker than if the Moon made a bodily aspect to Jupiter, but in the absence of any stronger testimonies, is a sign that the game will go Germany’s way.
