The pundits give France a slight edge to win, but the result is expected to be close. What do the heavens say?
As nominal favourites, France have Venus (lord 1) as their significator. Their co-significator (lord 10) the Moon, already has a role describing the events of the match, so France only has one representative (Venus) in this match.
Mars, lord 7 and Saturn, lord 4, signify Spain.
The Moon immediately applies to the cusp of the 10th house, the house of victory for the favourites: This is a powerful testimony for France.
Other than the aspect to the 10th house cusp, the Moon makes no further aspects. Technically, she is void of course, as she makes no aspect to any more planets in her current sign of Cancer: This could confirm a win for the favourites, or may signal a draw (which, at this stage of the tournament will lead to a result decided by extra time or penalties).
This chart favours the favourites. The trickiest challenge will be to determine who the favourites are. France are favoured by the pundits, and have won all their tournament games so far. Spain have yet to lose a game this tournament, having won 5 games and drawn one.
On this evidence, France have a slight edge, with a strong chance of the result being decided by extra time or penalties.
*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
