<p id=”par-1_62″>After four weeks of watching the <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/celebrity-athletes/?swcfpc=1″ target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>best soccer players</a> on the planet compete for a spot in the <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/sports/?swcfpc=1″ target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>FIFA World Cup</a> semi-finals, we now know the teams facing off will be England against Argentina and France against Spain. So which team is projected to win it all, and which teams will struggle under the pressure of the World Cup’s most unforgiving stage?</p>
<p id=”par-2_30″>An astrologer has looked at each squad’s astrological balance, leadership profile and concentration of signs associated with emotional volatility, indecision, and struggling under pressure. Here’s how that breaks down. </p>
<p id=”par-3_42″>Inbaal Honigman is a celebrity psychic astrologer who has been reading Tarot since the ’90s. She has appeared in the media for more than two decades, giving her predictions for Big Brother’s Little Brother, Elle Magazine, and talkSPORT radio, to name a few.</p>
<p id=”par-4_57″>Speaking on behalf of <a href=”https://www.casino.org/us/predictions/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Casino.org</a>, Honigman told Showbiz Cheat Sheet, “There are two reasons why some squads would struggle under pressure more than others. The first and primary reason is the star signs of each player. Some signs, such as adventurous Sagittarius or ambitious Capricorn, thrive under pressure. They are signs that take pride in striving and achieving. </p>

<p id=”par-5_81″>“Those pressure-loving signs enjoy setting their targets and then going for it, and nothing will stop them. The pressure-proof signs can take anything in their stride, and will show up to the match with the same attitude, no matter who they play and what the weather is. Other signs can take it or leave it when it comes to stress. The grounded sign of Taurus, for example, and the intense sign of Scorpio can feel the stress, but not act on it.” </p>
<p id=”par-6_58″>Honigman continued, “Those kinds of signs are so committed to being their true selves. So although their emotions are strong and sincere, they’ll still respond to situations according to their everyday habits. They hold their personal truths to be self-evident, so they don’t huff and grumble when things get tense, and they still deliver a world-class performance. </p>
<p id=”par-7_43″>“Naturally, they’d be incredible athletes, gifted and resilient, or they wouldn’t have been there in the first place, but their sensitive nature can let them down under pressure. If one star crumbles under the heat, then the whole team could potentially follow.” </p>
<p id=”par-8_71″>The astrolger added, “The second reason that some squads would struggle under pressure is the changing positions of the planets. All the planets in the solar system move all the time, hurtling forwards in the infinite, each in their orbit. During the World Cup, the Sun is in Gemini, then it moves into Cancer from June 21, and stays in the sign of the Crab for the rest of the tournament. </p>

<p id=”par-9_45″>“Each planet moves at its own pace, going through each sign in turn. In the 2026 World Cup, something special happens between the group stage and the knockout stage. Mercury, planet of communication, will be turning backwards in the sky on 29 June 2026.” </p>
<p id=”par-10_52″>Honigman concluded, “This will impact the signs of Virgo and Gemini, which are governed by Mercury. This phenomenon, called the Mercury retrograde, will also impact Cancerians, because Mercury will be in Cancer throughout the knockout stage. Mercury retrograde, in astrology, is quite a stressful period, causing issues around teamwork, friendships, and communication. </p>
<p id=”par-11_42″>“During the Mercury retrograde, social interaction struggles, and old arguments can rise in the present. For those two reasons, the team with the most Cancerians will be the one most likely to buckle under the pressure. That team happens to be Spain.” </p>
<p id=”par-12_22″>And the prediction is: Spain will “buckle” in the semi-final, Argentina will knock out England, and France will win the World Cup.</p>
