Welcome to Football Forecasts for the World Cup 2026!
Please note:
The aim will be to post one forecast for each day of the tournament, in advance of the match start time. All charts will be cast for BST (British Summer Time, which is 1 hour ahead of GMT/UST). Forecasts are for astrological information and educational purposes only. Charts are set for the scheduled kickoff time. As forecasts are published ahead of the event, there is a possibility that the chart may change if the start of the match is delayed, making the published forecast invalid. In accordance with John Frawley’s system for judging contest charts, the favourites will be chosen on the basis of the bookmaker’s odds in advance of the match.
Hosts Mexico are favourites in Group A, which also includes South Korea, Czechia and South Africa.
As favourites, they are represented by Mercury (ruler of the 1st and 10th houses), whilst opponents South Africa have Jupiter (lord of the 7th and 4th houses) as their significator.
The Moon (who describes how the match will progress, and often holds the key to the result) makes no aspect to either Mercury or Jupiter over the 5-degree orb considered most reliable for 90-minute football matches. In fact, this contest chart is lacking in any outstanding testimonies for either team. However, this is unlikely to be an uninteresting match, as the host nation will go all out to make a good start to the tournament in front of their home crowd.
If the match strays into extra time, things could get more interesting: Although she makes no aspects within 5-degrees of progress, at just over 5 degrees, she squares the Part of Fortune. A lunar square aspect to Fortuna favours the underdogs, in this case, South Africa.
If Mexico wish to start this tournament with a win, they will need to dominate the match quickly, ensuring victory is in their grasp before the 90-minute whistle blows.
However, if the game strays into extra time, the fortunes of South Africa will improve considerably and they will have a greater chance of gaining ascendancy.
