Lionel Messi will shine brightest on biggest night of his life

Even before the start, this writer had predicted that Argentina are the astrological favourites to win this World Cup. The planets had conspired to make this prediction come true long ago when Argentina coach Alejandro Sabella was born in 1954, and the fate was confirmed when Lionel Messi was born in 1987.

Legends come together to create history. Sabella was born with Jupiter, Saturn, Mars and Pluto in exaltation -- an astronomical rarity. The simultaneous exaltation of Jupiter and Saturn happens only once in 60 years. It happened for the first time when Sabella was born and it has happened again this July. This will help him attain the biggest achievement of his life.

Messi has Planet X -- one of the most powerful planets -- deeply exalted in his eighth house. Eighth house shows triumph over enemies and Messi will vanquish his enemies on this historic day. The Barcelona superstar has been stifled in the knockout stages with suffocating techniques by the opponents, but he will shine the brightest on the biggest night of his life and conquer the only trophy missing from his cabinet.

Argentina have been ridiculed as a one-man army but astrologically this is the most balanced squad of the tournament. Each and every member of the team has the planets required to become legends. At various times during this tournament, Angel Di Maria, Gonzalo Higuain, Javier Mascherano and Sergio Romero have stepped up to win it for their country. Come Sunday, and they will come together once again to create a beautifully orchestrated World Cup win.

Germany are definitely the better talented of the two sides. But they lack one important ingredient – luck. Coach Joachim Low has an unlucky horoscope with Pluto in negative exaltation. This makes one lose the biggest battles in life after working hard to reach that point. Captain Philipp Lahm has an average horoscope, not good enough to win an event of this magnitude. Germany do have all ingredients to make a great victorious team, but probably at a later stage under a different captain.

For now, it is going to be La Albiceleste all the way.
