As an astrologer, predicting the winner of the Champions Trophy final is quite challenging, especially without the authentic birth charts of both captains (India and New Zealand). While I have access to India’s [Nation] chart, I do not have the chart for New Zealand's [Nation]. Nevertheless, I will attempt to draw a logical conclusion based on the resources available to me.
To analyze the situation, I primarily focus on the New Moon chart from 28th February 2025 for both countries, the Solar Ingress chart for India dated 12th February 2025, the 13th February 2025 chart for New Zealand, and the natal (Independence) chart of India.
Let me focus on the solar ingress chart of New Zealand as of 13 February 2025 to analyze the country's prospects for the coming month.
The 3rd Lord (Sports) is placed in the 5th House (Intelligence), and the 5th Lord, Venus, is positioned in the 3rd House (Sports). This alignment indicates a strong link between intelligence and sporting achievements. Notably, Venus, the Yogakarka (the most auspicious planet), is in a sign exchange with Jupiter, enhancing its influence.
Rahu is also situated in the 3rd House, contributing to an increase in courage and the ability to excel in competitive events like the Champions Trophy.
However, in the Navamsa chart, the 3rd Lord is placed in the 12th House, which is generally considered unfavorable. Despite this, the aspects of Venus (Lagna Lord), Mercury (5th Lord), and the Sun (4th Lord) bring intelligence and artistry to the 3rd House, strengthening the Moon’s (3rd Lord’s) role in sports. This combination provides a favorable outlook for New Zealand’s performance in sports from 13th February to 14th March.
Benefic planets’ influence on the 3rd Lord in both the Rashi and Navamsa charts hints at exceptional spin bowling with a touch of artistry. The influence of retrograde Mars on the 9th House suggests potential erratic or poor shot selection by the batsmen. However, Ketu in the 9th House, under the aspect of the 4th Lord Mars, forms a Rajyoga, which indicates some intuitive and powerful hitting by New Zealand’s batsmen.
Now, let's focus on the New Moon Chart of 28th February 2025.
In this chart, the 3rd Lord, Moon, is placed in the 10th House of honor, where it is conjunct the Yogakarka Saturn (the 10th Lord) and the 4th Lord, Sun. However, the Moon lacks PakshaBalam and directional strength, which may somewhat diminish its influence.
In the Navamsa, the 3rd Lord, Mars, is excellently placed in the 3rd House (Sports), which is a very positive sign for sporting activities. It is also important to note that Mars is the Karka(significator) of the 3rd House, adding strength to sports-related activities. Additionally, the 9th Lord, both in the Rashi and Navamsa charts, is very well positioned, indicating excellent batting performance by the New Zealand team during the tournament.
Now, let's focus on the Solar Ingress Chart of 12th February 2025 for India.
In the Virgo Lagna chart, Mars, the 3rd Lord (Sports), is placed in the 10th House, but in retrograde motion. While Mars has directional strength, its retrograde movement makes it somewhat erratic. This suggests excellent but inconsistent bowling, with wides, as well as fielding errors and dropped catches by the Indian team.
Jupiter, the 7th Lord, is positioned in the 9th House (Rajyoga) and is in a sign exchange with the 9th Lord Venus. This alignment ensures excellent batting performances by the Indian team.
In the Navamsa chart, the 3rd Lord Mercury is well-placed in the 4th House, alongside Venus (representing technique), and is under the aspect of Moon (representing arts) and Jupiter (representing maturity). This combination indicates excellent spin bowling by the Indian team. Additionally, the Jupiter-Venus sign exchange in the Rashi chart further ensures mature and skillful batting performances.
Now, let’s analyze the New Moon Chart of 28th February 2025 from the perspective of sports.
Aquarius Lagna rises, with the Lagna Lord Saturn, the 6th Lord Moon, and the 7th Lord Sun. Saturn, representing discipline, aspects the 3rd House of sports, while the 3rd Lord, Mars, is very well-placed in the 5th House and aspects the 11th House (fulfillment of desires), suggesting a favorable environment for sporting achievements.
Venus, the 9th Lord (representing judgment), is exalted and in a sign exchange with Jupiter, indicating excellent technique and maturity in the Indian team’s batting.
In the Navamsa chart, the 3rd Lord, Jupiter, is well-placed in the 9th House (Judgment) and aspects the 3rd House (Sports), showing mature bowling. Mars, the Karka (significator) forSports, is placed in its own sign in the Navamsa, is most powerful in Shadabalam, further enhancing the performance in sports. Additionally, the 9th Lord Mercury is in the 10th House, with Rahu under the aspect of Mars, forming a half Rajyoga, suggesting intelligent and clever batting with good running between the wickets.
Before drawing any final conclusions regarding the match on March 9th, 2025, at 2:30 PM (IST), let’s examine the chart of India.
On this day, the country will be under the influence of Moon-Venus-Ketu-Mercury-Jupiter. In transit, Jupiter, the 11th Lord in the Lagna, holds 44 Ashtakvarga points, while Venus, the LagnaLord, is placed in the 11th House and in retrograde motion. Additionally, Rahu and Mercury are transiting through the 11th House of the nation. Moreover, the 3rd Lord, the Moon, will be in Gemini, with Mars, the significator of the 3rd House, also present at the start of the match, enhancing the strength of the 3rd Lord Moon. The Moon is also strong in Paksha Balam, further boosting its influence during this period.
Conclusion: After analyzing the Solar Ingress charts of India (February 12th, 2025) and New Zealand (February 13th, 2025), the New Moon chart of February 28th, 2025, for both nations, and the horoscope of India, it appears that India holds an edge over New Zealand in the Champion Trophy final on March 9th, 2025, in Dubai. This edge is indicated by stronger positioning of the 9th House and 9th Lord[Judgment ] in the relevant charts, highlighting India’s superior batting prowess. However, ideally, the charts of the captains would also be required, as they can significantly influence the outcome of the match.
