The Spanish football team, which has displayed outstanding form in recent years, is also considered a major contender in this World Cup, driven by the talents of young Lamine Yamal and experienced captain Álvaro Morata along side midfielders Pedri, Rodri and Gavi. Let us examine the horoscopes of these star players to determine who has the strongest chance of winning the title in the current World Cup.
Cristiano Ronaldo might face disappointment
Born on February 5, 1985, at 5:25 AM in Funchal, Portugal, 41-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo is playing in his final World Cup. The Portuguese team, which reached the quarter-finals under Ronaldo’s captaincy in the previous World Cup, holds high hopes for its star player and captain.
Chart 1. Horoscope of Cristiano Ronaldo
However, from an astrological perspective, Ronaldo—currently undergoing the Vimshottari Dasha sequence of Venus Maha Dasha Mercury Anter Dasha and Jupiter Pratyanter Dasha—is expected to deliver an average performance. Venus the Maha Dasha lord is positioned in the fourth house of his Sagittarius-ascendant chart in his sign of exaltation, Pisces; however, the Antardasha lord Mercury and Jupiter are conjunct in Capricorn—a sign ruled by Saturn—and are aspected by Saturn, which acts as the Marakesh (death-inflicting planet) for his chart. Under these circumstances, Ronaldo’s performance could remain average due to injuries or a lack of fitness. In Navamsha and Dashamasa Venus and Mercury are weak.
The Pratyanter Dasha lord Jupiter is debilitated in his birth chart but is getting aspect of his ‘Uccha Nath’ (exaltation sign lord) the Moon which is a good Yoga. So, he will get fame though his performance shall be average only as the captain of Portugal team.
Lionel Messi, currently passing through a Dasha Chhidra might miss out on a title victory
The birth chart of Lionel Messi—Argentina’s captain and the most popular star in the football world, who won the 2022 FIFA World Cup (born June 24, 1987, at 8:30 PM in Rosario, Argentina)—features a Capricorn Ascendant chart with a Raja-Sambandha Yoga (royal alliance combination) formed by Venus and the Moon in the fifth house. Rahu, located in the third house (associated with sports), has propelled him to become the biggest star in the football world, boasting the highest score of 41 points in the Sarvashtakavarga chart here.
Chart 2. Horoscope of Lionel Messi
Currently, within his Capricorn Ascendant chart, he is undergoing the Maha Dasha of Jupiter (lord of the twelfth house of losses), with the Antardasha of Rahu and Pratyantardasha of Ketu active from May 31th to July 21st . Jupiter is in the fourth house, while the Antardasha lord Rahu is in the twelfth house from it, and the Pratyantardasha lord Ketu is in the sixth house relative to it, indicating some struggles. In the Navamsha chart as well, Jupiter and Rahu share a Shadashtaka (6/8) relationship. Despite displaying brilliant game-play, Lionel Messi might miss the opportunity to lead his team to a title victory this time. In Dashamasha chart the Maha Dasha lord Jupiter and Anter Dasha lord Rahu are in 2/12 from each other.
Kylian Mbappé’s goals will create a sensation
Kylian Mbappé, the 27-year-old captain of the French football team (born December 20, 1998, at 1:47 AM in Paris, France), is currently considered the world’s best player in terms of speed, dribbling skills, and his ability to score goals as a striker.

Chart 3. Horoscope of Kylian Mbappe
In his Virgo-ascendant birth chart, the ascendant lord Mercury is positioned in the third house (representing valor and sports), while Mars—the lord of the third house—is situated in the ascendant. The tenth house (the house of career/action) receives aspects from Jupiter, Saturn, the Sun, the Moon, and Mercury, making his chart truly extraordinary.The 10th house is the house of fame in career which is very strong in the horoscope of Mbappe the french football team captain.
He previously won the title of ‘Best Young Player’ after scoring a goal in the 2018 World Cup final and securing victory for France. Mbappé, who scored eight goals in the 2022 FIFA World Cup, is expected to be in good form this time as well. However, the Vimshottari Dasha sequence— the Moon’s Mahadasha Mercury Anter Dasha and Venus Pratyanter Dasha—appears somewhat weak during the tournament. The Moon and Venus are in a conjunction at close degrees. Additionally, the transit of Saturn in the fourth house from the Moon indicates the presence of ‘Kantak Shani’ (a challenging Saturn transit) at this time. While Kylian Mbappé could create a sensation with spectacular goals and lead France to the semi-finals, but he might ultimately miss out on winning the title. In Navamsha and Dashamasha his Dasha lords are powerfully posted will gave him good fame for his better performances in the games.
Neymar’s performance will be satisfactory
Neymar (born February 5, 1992, at 2:15 AM in Mogi das Cruzes, Brazil)—who broke the legendary Pele’s record by scoring 79 goals in 128 matches for the Brazilian national team—has been struggling with injuries for some time. In his Scorpio-ascendant chart, the aspect of the Moon (placed in the fourth house) upon Jupiter (placed in the tenth house) forms a powerful Gajakesari Yoga.
Chart 4. Horoscope of Neymar
The conjunction of Saturn, Mercury, and the Sun in the third house (sports) endowed Neymar with extraordinary talent; this enabled his entry into the national team in 2010. The current World Cup marks his fourth tournament, and there are high expectations for him to score goals for his team. The Maha Dasha (major planetary period) of Saturn is running in Neymar’s Scorpio-ascendant chart Since September 2025 , In his horoscope, Saturn is involved in a planetary war with Mercury. Astrological indications suggest that while Neymar might score some good goals during the Saturn Dasha and Mercury Anter Dasha period, his overall performance will remain merely satisfactory. Saturn powerfully placed in Taurus sign in Navamsha and Aquarius in Dashamasha will enable him to play at satisfactory levels despite the fact that it its own Anter Dasha normally the Dasha lords don’t give its full results.
Harry Kane will stir up a storm, and Lamine Yamal’s magic will be on display
England captain Harry Kane is a striker with a tall, robust physique, run on the field like of the legendary Pelé. He is renowned for his powerful strikes and speed. This 32-year-old star striker has scored 79 goals in 114 matches for the England national team, and the hopes for his team’s victory in this World Cup rest largely on his shoulders. Harry Kane (born July 28, 1993)—who previously won the Golden Boot at the 2018 Football World Cup with six goals—has Scorpio as his Moon sign. Bolstered by the transit of Jupiter, Saturn, and Rahu in auspicious positions relative to his Moon, the goals Kane scores in this World Cup are set to grab plenty of headlines.
Spain’s 18-year-old Lamine Yamal is known for his spectacular play as a winger and midfielder. Tall and lean, Yamal is currently considered one of the best young players on the scene; his playing style is often compared to that of the legendary Dutch footballer Johan Cruyff. The auspicious transit positions of Jupiter and Saturn relative to Yamal’s natal Moon could pave the way for major success.

In Spain’s Capricorn-ascendant horoscope, during the Mahadasha of Mercury—which is positioned in the house of gains the 11th house and the Anter Dashsa of Jupiter which is in the 3rd house of sports activity the team is likely to do very well in the FIFA world cup. An astrological combination indicates a major achievement in the sports arena during the ongoing Anter Dasha Jupiter, which is positioned in the third house (the house of valor). The auspicious influence of Saturn (transiting through Pisces) and Jupiter (transiting through Cancer) on Spain’s horoscope could lead them to a title victory in this World Cup, driven by their distinctive style of play. Additionally, Brazil, France, and Argentina are also expected to put up a strong performance in the FIFA world cup 2026.
