The match takes place just hours after a New Moon, the time of the month when the moon is least visible to us. This month, the New Moon falls in Cancer, and because it's close to Lamine Yamal’s natal sun (the position the sun was in when he was born), astrologers may see Tuesday as a moment when he is especially likely to stand out. But Mercury is also retrograde, which could make the game less predictable.

Of course, astrology can't tell us who will score or which team will advance. But it can offer another way to look at the personalities and instincts each player brings onto the field. Here is what the charts of six key players suggest about how they may approach France versus Spain, according to the internet's astrologers.

The players’ birth chart information and planetary placements were sourced from Astro-Charts and Astrotheme. Astrology is interpretive and cannot reliably predict the outcome of a match.

France

Kylian Mbappé: Sagittarius sun, Capricorn moon

Kylian Mbappé has scored 8 goals at this World Cup, bringing his career total to 20. His Sagittarius sun fits his confidence and hunger to keep pushing forward, while his Capricorn moon adds the discipline behind it. His Libra rising and Mars in Libra also make him more patient than his speed might suggest. He knows when to wait and when to make his move.

Tuesday’s Cancer moon creates a more difficult connection with his Saturn, which astrologers link to pressure, frustration, and having to work harder for chances. At the same time, Mars gives him some support, especially when it comes to speed and quick reactions. Spain may make things difficult for him, but Mbappé may still need only one opening to change the match.

Ousmane Dembélé: Taurus sun, Leo moon

Ousmane Dembélé has scored 5 goals in 6 matches at this World Cup, a huge jump from the 7 goals he scored in his first 59 appearances for France. His Taurus sun fits the patience and persistence behind that improvement, while his Leo moon brings confidence and creativity. His Capricorn rising and Mars in Virgo add more control, helping him choose his moments instead of forcing every play.

Dembélé is also going through his Saturn return, a period astrologers connect with growing up, taking on more responsibility, and being tested under pressure. For him, the semifinal may be about proving that this new level of consistency is real and that he can keep delivering when the stakes are highest.

William Saliba: Aries sun, Pisces moon

William Saliba’s Aries sun and rising fit his confident, competitive personality. Mars in Sagittarius makes him quick to commit once he decides to challenge for the ball, while his Pisces moon and Mercury may help him sense what an attacker is about to do.

Tuesday’s astrology could help Saliba stay confident and react quickly when the game changes. However, Neptune close to his sun could also make some decisions less clear. Spain will try to catch him out with quick passes and unexpected runs, so he will need to avoid moving toward the ball too early and leaving space behind him.

Spain

Lamine Yamal: Cancer sun, Cancer moon

Lamine Yamal Nasraoui Ebana turned 19 one day before the semifinal. With his sun, moon, and Mercury all in Cancer, astrologers would describe him as highly instinctive and aware of what is happening around him. His Mars in Taurus adds patience, which fits a player who stays calm on the ball and does not let defenders rush him.

The New Moon also formed close to his sun just after his birthday, which astrologers may see as the beginning of an important new phase. Mercury retrograde adds some unpredictability, so the match may not go exactly as planned. That could suit Yamal, who is often at his best when he has to react quickly and try something unexpected.

Rodri: Cancer sun, Virgo moon

Rodrigo Hernández Cascante, better known as Rodri, is Spain’s captain and the player who keeps its midfield organized. His Cancer sun fits the protective side of his game, while his Virgo moon points to precision and attention to detail. Mercury and Mars in Gemini also suggest he can think quickly and change his decision when an opponent closes him down.

Rodri has some of the most supportive astrology in the match chart. The Lot of Fortune, a point astrologers link with things falling into place more easily, makes an exact positive connection with his sun. Mars is also close to his Mercury, which could help him communicate clearly and make quick choices under pressure. In a tight match, that could help Rodri keep Spain calm and in control.

Pedri: Sagittarius sun, Leo moon

Pedro González López, commonly known as Pedri, has a Sagittarius sun and Mercury, which astrologers connect with seeing the whole field and looking beyond the easiest pass. His Leo moon adds confidence and creativity, while Mars in Libra points to strong timing and an awareness of how his teammates are moving around him.

Tuesday’s chart gives Pedri both support and unpredictability. Jupiter makes a positive connection with his sun, which could boost his confidence and help him spot opportunities. Uranus also challenges his sun, though, meaning the game could change quickly. That may suit Pedri, especially if Spain needs him to adjust and find a different way forward.
