Indian astrologers have predicted that an upcoming conjunction of Mars with Saturn could throw up a surprise winner in the football World Cup, a local news report said Sunday.
The conjunction of fiery Mars with disciplined Saturn would take place in the constellation of Cancer on Sunday night. This is the closest the two planets come in more than 12 years.
But what is a delight for skywatchers, is being frowned upon by practitioners of Hindu astrology who term it a "disastrous encounter."
They warn that such a conjunction indicates a period of upheaval.
India's ace astrologer Bejan Daruwalla told the Times of India daily that the FIFA World Cup will have an "unusual winner", because of the planetary hug.
Daruwalla said such a combination upsets the usual order of things.
"Mars is like a mongoose and Saturn is the serpent. The fight is inevitable. There will be many ups and downs," he was quoted by the paper as saying.
"Superstar Ronaldo has been booed by Brazilian fans, Bill Gates wants to retire, the share market is going haywire. Blair is being termed Marxist, Argentina scores 6 - all are effects of hot and cold," he added.
But the Indian Rationalists Association was quick to dismiss the astrologers' claims.
Association president Sanal Edamaruku said hundreds of mishaps and tragedies take place every year but they cannot be attributed to stars.
Hindu or Vedic astrology is among the main astrological systems which is practiced worldwide. It is commonly used to aid important decisions in the lives of millions of people in India.
