England 3 Mexico 2

My previous article on the World Baseball Classic demonstrates how astrological charts of countries come alive during international sports competitions. The Mexico England game of July 5, 2026 showed their relevance in the World Cup.

On July 5, 2026, Mexico lost to England on its home turf and became eliminated from the World Cup. Transits to the chart of Mexico included the Moon at 23 Pisces opposite Mexico’s Sun of 23 Virgo. This challenging opposition proved unfortunate for the host country.

The current Mars-Uranus conjunction occurred upon Mexico’s natal Jupiter of 1 Gemini and MC of 5 Gemini. As one of the World Cup’s host countries, the nation has demonstrated its Jupiter largess by being a welcoming host and even being gracious to the athletes of Iran, a country at war with the U.S., another host country.

England’s soccer team is not representing the United Kingdom, rather it is playing under its own flag. The astrological chart of the UK is not at play in the World Cup, rather the chart of England from the coronation of William the Conqueror is the one to watch. This chart is experiencing favorable transits to its opposition between Mars at 8 Aquarius and Jupiter of return and 7 Leo. Indeed, England is experiencing a Jupiter return during this World Cup. Leo is the sign of sports, which is a favorable aspect for their soccer team. England’s Mars, meanwhile, is experiencing a conjunction from Pluto.  Mars and Pluto are a powerful combination which allows athletes to find untapped reserves of strength and stamina.
