South Korea are the favourites to win this Group A match against Czechia, but the teams are thought to be evenly matched, with a draw very possible.
What do the heavens say?
As favourites, South Korea have Jupiter (ruler of the 1st house) and Venus (ruler of the 10th house, the house of success for the favourites specifically, and victory in general) as their significators.
Mercury (ruler of the 7th house, the house of the opposition to the favourites) and Mars (ruler of the 4th house) represent rivals Czechia.
Both Jupiter (South Korea) and Mercury (Czechia) are in the same sign (Cancer), and within orb of conjunction to Venus (ruler of the house of victory) but Venus moves into the next sign and house before either Jupiter or Mercury can make the conjunction with Venus exact. This could show victory (Venus) eluding the grasp of both teams, and makes a draw more likely.
The Moon makes no aspects over the 5-degree orb considered most accurate when forecasting 90-minute football matches. However, at just over that 5-degree orb, the Moon opposes the Part of Fortune, a testimony which favours the underdogs. This suggests that, should extra time occur (and extra time is always plentiful in World Cup tournaments) and opportunity will occur for the underdogs to gain the advantage.
The biggest puzzle in this match is which team are the true favourites, as the current odds for both teams are so close. However, the contest chart seems clear that this will be a close contest, with a draw a strong possibility. However, if extra time is allowed, this could prove crucial to the result.
*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). Due to local time differences, the date of the contest chart may vary from the local match date. 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
