Prospects of the Indian Cricket Team in the Upcoming England Test Series: Vedic Astrology Forecast-Part 2

Predicting the outcome of the second and third Test matches at Edgbaston and Lords , scheduled between July 2 and July 14, 2025, is complex without the natal charts of both team captains, which are unavailable, as these charts provide critical insights into team dynamics. This research explores Indian astrology’s application to sports trends, focusing on mundane astrological parameters: the New Year chart (12-month forecast), the Solar Ingress chart (one-month forecast), and the New Moon or Full Moon chart (15-day forecast). As the New Moon chart of June 25, 2025, is the only parameter that has changed since the first Test match analysis, this study centers on its influence, specifically analyzing the New Moon chart’s houses for both India and England, to assess the prospects of both teams in the upcoming second and third Test matches, focusing solely on the New Moon chart’s houses for both countries and their impact on the match outcomes. Here is the link to the first Test match prediction analysis: [https://www.astroseekers.com/post/prospects-of-the-indian-cricket-team-in-the-upcoming-england-test-series-vedic-astrology-forecast].

New Moon Chart Analysis for India (June 25, 2025): In the New Moon chart for India, Libra Lagna rises, with Venus, the Lagna Lord, aspecting the Lagna, strengthening the team’s identity and cohesion. The 3rd Lord (sports, self-effort, talent), Jupiter, is strongly placed in the 9th House, aspecting the 3rd House, indicating robust team efforts and talent. Jupiter is closely conjunct with the 10th Lord Moon (honor, captaincy) and the 11th Lord Sun (gains), enhancing prospects for recognition and success. A significant Rajyoga forms due to a sign exchange between the 9th Lord Mercury and the 10th Lord Moon in the Rashi Chart, involving the 9th House (judgment) and 10th House (captaincy, sky), suggesting improved catching and strategic captaincy for the Indian team. However, a Nakshatra exchange between Jupiter and Rahu creates an indirect connection between Rahu, Moon, and Sun, potentially causing anxiety in the captain and team, which may lead to dropped catches, though overall catching should improve compared to the first Test match. The 3rd Lord Jupiter (North-East) aspects the 3rd House, supported by the Moon (North-West, 10th Lord), Sun (East, 11th Lord), and Saturn (West, 4th and 5th Lord), indicating focused swing bowling with imagination from the Indian team. In the Navamsa (D-9) chart, the Lagna Lord Mercury in the 3rd House, aspected by Jupiter, and the 3rd Lord Sun conjunct with Moon and Jupiter, reflect mature, imaginative, and intelligent bowling. However, the bowling may lack the fiery pace and penetrative edge as Mars is not making any connection with the 3rd House or 3rd Lord Jupiter. The 9th-10th Lord sign exchange in the Rashi Chart suggests sound judgment by Indian batsmen and strong batting performance, but the indirect Rahu-Moon connection in the 9th House hints at anxiety, potentially leading to rash shots and poor shot selection during the matches. In the Navamsa, the 9th Lord Saturn is well-placed in the 4th House, supporting stability, but the 6th Lord Mars (obstacles) aspects the 9th House of judgment, indicating potential challenges in maintaining consistent batting decisions.  Spinners are likely to play an important role for India in the Edgbaston Test matches. In the Rashi Chart, the 3rd Lord Jupiter, a benefic, is strongly placed in the 9th House and aspects the 3rd House (sports, effort), indicating significant influence of spin bowling. In the Navamsa (D-9) chart, the Lagna Lord Mercury[North], positioned in the 3rd House, is under the aspect of Jupiter [Northeast], further reinforcing the prominence of spinners through intelligent and effective bowling strategies.

New Moon Chart Analysis for England (June 25, 2025): In the New Moon chart for England, Leo Lagna rises, with the Lagna Lord Sun well-placed in the 11th House alongside the 5th Lord Jupiter and the 12th Lord Moon. A sign exchange between the 12th Lord Moon and the 11th Lord Mercury suggests a fighting and aggressive spirit, despite England’s 1-0 lead in the series. The 3rd House (sports) is under the aspect of the 3rd Lord Venus (a guru) and Jupiter (a guru), indicating mature and technical bowling with swing, enhanced by Jupiter’s Nakshatra exchange with Rahu (illusion), adding an element of unpredictability. In the Navamsa (D-9) chart, the 3rd Lord Jupiter in the 3rd House with Ketu amplifies Jupiter’s strength, as Ketu acts like a flag and Jupiter, in its own house, is like a rod, signifying powerful bowling. The 10th Lord Moon, along with the Sun in the 3rd House of D-9, indicates exceptional effort in bowling with seam and swing. The karaka for the 3rd House, Mars, though debilitated, gains directional strength in the 10th House, suggesting a strong bowling attack with fire, swing, and seam. The 10th Lord Venus in the 9th House in the Rashi Chart indicates good batting technique, but the 9th Lord Mars in the Lagna with Ketu suggests unconventional shot selection, such as reverse sweeps, which may prove costly. In the Navamsa, the 9th House has Rahu under the aspect of Jupiter (maturity), Moon (imagination), and Sun (focus), forming a Rajyoga as the 10th Lord Moon aspects Rahu in the 9th House, while the 9th Lord Mercury is well-placed in the 11th House, supporting batting success. However, the 6th Lord Saturn (obstacles) aspects the 10th House (sky), hinting at sloppy catching due to slow judgment of catches. Saturn in the 8th House, under the aspect of Mars, suggests potential injuries or muscle pulls during the matches for English players.

Spinners are likely to play an important role for England in the Edgbaston and Lord's,Test matches. In the Rashi Chart, the 3rd Lord Venus, a guru, aspects the 3rd House (sports, effort), and the 5th Lord Jupiter, also a guru, aspects the 3rd House, indicating a mature and technical spin bowling approach. In the Navamsa (D-9) chart, Jupiter in the 3rd House with Moon, forming a Gajakesari Yoga, suggests classical, intelligent, and mature spin bowling.

Comparison of India and England New Moon Charts:

Team Strength (Lagna): India’s Libra Lagna with Venus aspecting it suggests strong team cohesion. England’s Leo Lagna with the Sun in the 11th House, joined by Moon, Jupiter, and Mercury (due to sign exchange with Moon), indicates confidence and gains. The influence of four planets (Sun, Moon, Jupiter, Mercury) in England’s 11th House (house of gain and victory) in the Rashi Chart, with Rahu’s indirect influence through Nakshatra exchange with Jupiter, gives England a slight edge in team morale and success potential.

Bowling (3rd House): India’s 3rd House, aspected by Jupiter, Moon, Sun, and Saturn, suggests imaginative swing bowling but lacks fire due to Mars’ disconnection. England’s 3rd House, aspected by Venus and Jupiter, with Jupiter Rahu Nakshtra exchange and Mars’ directional strength in the 10th, indicates a dynamic and versatile attack with fire, swing, and seam. In the Navamsa, England’s Jupiter-Ketu combination in the 3rd House and Moon-Sun placement enhance bowling potency, while India’s Mercury and Sun-Moon-Jupiter in the 3rd House suggest intelligence but lack fire. Edge: England for bowling due to a stronger, more aggressive attack.

Batting (9th House): India’s 9th-10th Lord sign exchange in the Rashi Chart suggests sound batting judgment and strong performance, but the Rahu-Moon connection in the 9th House indicates anxiety, potentially leading to rash shots and poor shot selection. In the Navamsa, Saturn in the 4th House supports batting stability, but Mars’ aspect on the 9th House suggests challenges in consistent decision-making. England’s 10th Lord Venus in the 9th House in the Rashi Chart indicates technical batting, but Mars with Ketu in the Lagna suggests risky, unconventional shot selection (e.g., reverse sweeps). In the Navamsa, Rahu in the 9th House under Jupiter, Moon, and Sun aspects, with a Rajyoga from Moon’s aspect, and the 9th Lord in the 11th House, supports batting success. Edge: India for batting stability, but England’s batting has dynamic potential despite risks.

Captaincy and Success (10th House): India’s 9th-10th Lord sign exchange in the Rashi Chart and Moon’s placement suggest strong captaincy and improved catching, though Rahu-induced anxiety may cause minor errors. England’s 10th Lord Venus in the 9th House and Moon in the 3rd House in D-9 indicate strategic captaincy, but Saturn’s aspect on the 10th House suggests catching issues due to slow judgment. Edge: India for captaincy due to stronger Rajyoga, but England’s catching may falter.

Challenges (6th House, 8th House): India faces batting inconsistencies due to Mars’ aspect on the 9th House in Navamsa and Rahu-Moon anxiety. England risks sloppy catching (Saturn’s aspect on 10th House) and potential injuries or muscle pulls (Saturn in 8th House under Mars’ aspect). Edge: Neither team has a clear advantage, as both face significant challenges.

Conclusion: India’s chart shows strength in batting stability and captaincy, with improved catching but occasional poor judgment in catching, limited by bowling without fire and potential rash shots due to anxiety. England’s chart indicates a superior bowling attack with swing, seam, and fire, enhanced by the 11th House’s planetary influence, suggesting a higher likelihood of victory. However, England’s unconventional batting choices, catching issues, and injury risks may hinder performance. India’s strategic captaincy and batting could keeps the contest competitive, but England holds a slight edge in the second and third Test matches due to their potent bowling and strong 11th House influence, provided they manage batting and injury risks.
