The local kick off time for this Group E match at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena 6pm (ET) on 25th June 2025. 

The pundits favour CF Monterrey, but do the heavens agree?   

As favourites, Monterrey are signified by Jupiter (lord of the 1^st house). Mercury, lord of the opposing 7^th house, represents their rivals, Urawa Red Diamonds.  

This is an unusual chart, as the 10^th house (the house of victory for the favourites) is ruled by Mercury (Urawa Red Diamonds) whilst the 4^th house (victory for the underdogs) is ruled by Jupiter (Monterrey). For both planets, their main roles as rulers of the 1st and 7^th houses take precedence.  Their rulership of the 4^th and 10^th houses is discounted.   

Jupiter (lord 1) is afflicted with combustion, which is bad for the favourites.   

The Moon applies to oppose the antiscion of the Part of Fortune (at 14 Capricorn 20) favouring the underdogs.   

Urawa Red Diamonds were drawn in a tough group and have yet to win a game this tournament. However, this chart suggests they have potential to play much better against Monterrey.   This promises to be one of the most interesting games of the day.

The local kick off time for this Group C match at the Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, New Carolina is 3pm (ET) on 24th June 2025. 

Bayern Munich, the favourites, have Venus (lord 1) as their significator.  Lord 10 (usually the co-significator of the favourites) is the Moon, who already has a role describing the events of the match.   

The lords of the 7^th and 4^th houses (Mars and Saturn) represent rivals Benfica.   

This chart is lacking in strong, reliable testimonies, raising a question mark over the outcome of the match.  The only two aspects of note are from the Moon:  First a sextile to the antiscion of Mars (at 25 Aries 48) and finally a square to the antiscion of Saturn at 28 Virgo 21).  Both these aspects, although not as reliable as bodily aspects, favour Benfica.  

The signs are that Benfica will play better than the pundits expect. A win for the underdogs, or a draw are both strong possibilities.

The local kick off time for this Group A match at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California is 9pm (ET) on 23rd June 2025. 

Palmeiras, who have yet to concede a game this tournament, are the favourites:  They are represented by Saturn (lord 1) and Venus (lord 4). 

Rivals Inter Milan have just one significator, Mars, ruler of the 4^th house.  Usually they would also be signified by the ruler of the 7^th house but, with the sign Cancer on the house cusp, this is the Moon who already has a key role describing the events of the match.   

Saturn (lord 1) applies to conjunct Neptune, which may prove detrimental to the favourites, either due to inconsistencies in their play, or unexpected events or decisions which cause them problems.  

Whether Neptune’s influence is sufficient to affect the result remains to be seen, but in the absence of any stronger testimonies it is worthy of note.  Expect surprises!

The local kick off time for this Group G match at the Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania is 12pm (ET) on 22^nd June 2025. 

Only the most ardent fans of Wydad AC expect them to beat odds-on favourites Juventus, and the heavens reflect this:  The Moon applies to sextile Mercury (lord 1) favours the favourites Juventus, whilst Jupiter’s severe affliction by combustion will be difficult for Wydad AC to overcome.   

Although the North and South Nodes can help or hinder when conjunct a planet which is a main significator in contest charts, their placement by house does not signify, so the North Node in the 7^th house does nothing to help the cause of Wydad AC.  A win by Juventus seems the most likely outcome.

The local kick off time for this Group F match at the TQL Stadium in Cincinnati, Ohio 12pm (ET) on 21st June 2025. 

Borussia Dortmund’s first match of the tournament was a goalless draw against Fluminense.  In contrast, Mamelodi Sundowns won their first game, a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Ulsan HD.   

Despite these results, Borussia Dortmund are considered odds-on favourites to win this Saturday.  But do the heavens agree? 

Mercury, ruler of the 1^st and 10^th houses, represents Borussia Dortmund, whilst Jupiter (ruler of the 7^th and 4^th houses) is significator for Mamelodi Sundowns.   

Mercury (for Dortmund) is in proximity to the Part of Fortune.  If this was an applying conjunction, this would be very favourable for Dortmund, sufficient to win them the match.  However, the aspect is separating, so is not relevant to the result.   

More significant is the Sun’s applying conjunction to Jupiter.  Jupiter is just over two degrees away from the Sun and therefore combust.  Combustion is very destructive in contest charts and suggests that (for this match at least) Mamelodi will struggle to play at their best.   

Overall, this chart agrees with the pundits, and inclines to a likely win for Dortmund.

Please note:  All contest charts are cast for BST, hence different dates and times from those locally advertised. (This match is scheduled to kick off at Lumen Field in Seattle, Washington in Atlanta at 3pm local time on 19^th June 2025).

Atletico Madrid are the favourites:  They are odds-on to win against their Group B rivals, the Seattle Sounders (despite Seattle having the advantage of a home crowd).   

As favourites, Atletico Madrid are signified by Venus (lord 1).  The Moon (ruler of the 10^th house, the house of victory for the favourites) already has a key role describing the events of the match, so Venus is their sole representative for this match.   

Home side Seattle are signified by Mars (lord 7) and Saturn (lord 4).   

Pluto opposes the Part of Fortune, favouring the underdogs, Seattle.  However, although this aspect is still very close, it is already separating (Pluto is retrograde) and is unlikely to have much bearing on the result of the match.

Saturn (lord 4 for Seattle) is placed very close to Neptune. Neptune has proven himself to be a ‘wild card’ in football matches.  He is known to cause upsets, but can be inconsistent in the way he works.  John Frawley notes that, like Pluto and Uranus, he seems to work against the favourites, if he is inclined to work at all.   Here Saturn applies to conjunction with Neptune, but turns retrograde before the aspect perfects (becomes exact), so may be no more relevant to the outcome than Pluto’s opposition with the Part of Fortune. However, Neptune may yet cast an air of mystery and unpredictability over the match.

According to the bookies, Atletico Madrid are the likely winners, but Neptune and Pluto could bring a few surprises, if they feel so inclined.

Manchester City are odds-on favourites to win this Group G match against Wydad AC (or Wydad Casablanca).  As the favourites, they are signified by Mercury (ruler of the 1^st and 10^th houses). 

The ruler of the opposing 7^th and 4^th houses, Jupiter, represents their opponents Wydad AC. 

The placement of the Part of Fortune (in the 10^th house, the house of victory for the favourites) follows the progress of the Moon’s phases and is therefore the same every lunar month.  For this reason, the proximity of the Part of Fortune to the 10^th house cusp does not signify.   

More significant is the placement of the antiscion of Mercury which, as ruler of the 1^st and 10^th house, represents the favourites.  At 12 Gemini 05, the antiscion of Mercury is conjunct the 10^th house cusp, a strong testimony in favour of the favourites.   

In the absence of any other testimonies, this chart looks highly favourable for Manchester City.

The local date, time and place for this match is:  Lumen Field, Seattle at 12pm (PT) on 17th June 2025.  

In this Group E match, River Plate are odds-on favourites to win against opponents Urawa Red Diamonds.   

River Plate are signified by Mercury, lord of the 1^st and 10^th houses. Mercury is also dispositor of the Part of Fortune, but his role as lord of the 1^st house takes precedence.  

Urawa Red Diamonds are represented by Jupiter, lord of the 7^th and 4^th houses.   

The Moon applying to conjunct the 7^th house cusp is a strong testimony for Urawa Red Diamonds, whilst the Moon’s only other aspect (over the 5-degree orb considered most reliable for 90-degree football matches) is a sextile to Mercury, main significator of the favourites, River Plate.   

With two very strong but conflicting testimonies, one for each team, a draw cannot be ruled out.  If this is not the case, the victory is likely to go to the team favoured by the Moon’s final aspect (her sextile to Mercury) which are the favourites, River Plate.

The favourite team in this match is a matter of dispute.  The U.K. bookies have Chelsea as favourites to win over Los Angeles, but the odds suggest the match is likely to be close.   

The Moon (ruler of the 10^th house, the house of victory for the favourites) already has a role describing the flow of events, so Chelsea have just one significator for this match, Venus (the ruler of the 1^st house).

Los Angeles are represented by Mars (ruler of the 7^th house) and Saturn (ruler of the 4^th house, the house of victory for the underdogs).   

The antiscion of the Part of Fortune (at 11 Cancer 59) is conjunct the 10th house cusp: This favours the favourites.  Ideally the aspect would be closer (within 2 degrees), but in the absence of any stronger testimonies, this could prove conclusive.   

If Chelsea truly are the favourites (as the pundits suggest), then it seems likely they will make a good start to the tournament.
