While skywatchers prepare for a visual feast, astrologers are calling it a disastrous encounter. Soothsayers have warned that the conjunction is bound to upset the usual order of things. For instance, Brazil, scheduled to play against Australia in a FIFA World Cup tie at 9.30 pm, could be in for a surprise. (HPI note: From our quick google on this, Australia are a ten-to-one underdog against defending world champion Brazil, who are favored to win this year&#8217;s cup.) In fact, astrologer Bejan Daruwalla predicts the FIFA World Cup will have an &#8220;unusual&#8221; winner and the Rakhi Sawant case will further flare up. Saturn and Mars will come closest on Sunday night and appear to touch each other. &#8220;In reality, the two are millions of kilometres apart. But viewed from Earth, it will appear as if they are touching. They will be about half a degree away from each other, that is a little less than the width of a little finger held against the sky at an arm&#8217;s length,&#8221; says C. B. Devgan, of SPACE, an NGO.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>timesofindia.indiatimes.com NEW DELHI, INDIA, June 18, 2006: Saturn will hug Mars on Sunday night in a celestial embrace astronomers term,&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6192","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6192","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6192"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6192\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6192"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6192"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6192"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
