Aspects for the week beginning 5 July 2015
Wimbledon 2015 – Week 2
What an exciting week of tennis that was! Having looked at the top seeds last week, I am now going to look at the next rung of seeds, going into the second week. Maybe your favourite is amongst them? I hope you (the readers) will continue to be interactive, as it does make viewing even more interesting.
Men’s Seeds
No. 6 – Tomas Berdych
As a Virgoan, Tomas is very analytical, but he has a sense of showmanship with Venus and Mars in Leo. We do not have his birth time, so his Moon could be in Libra or Scorpio. If in Scorpio, that would make him extremely emotionally intense as the Moon would be conjunct with Pluto in that sign. There is a lot of seriousness overall in his make up, with the Sun exactly sextile Saturn, and Venus exactly square Saturn. His great energy is coming from Mars closely sextile Pluto. He has hidden depths, and a very strong will (5 of his 10 planets in Fixed signs). He starts week 2 with a Venus Return, which is congenial enough, but I don’t know if that will carry him far tenniswise. At the end of the tournament, Jupiter squares his Saturn (hopes not likely realized). That does not look like an outstanding line up for success. He plays Gilles Simon in the next round.
No. 9 – Marin Cilic
Marin Cilic has a very challenging natal chart, containing a Grand Cross in Earth signs, composed of Neptune opposite Chiron and Mars opposite the Sun. He could struggle at times, especially when a transiting planet is crossing one of those four points. With Saturn conjunct exactly Uranus, he can sometimes be subject to earthquakes in his life, psychologically at least. He has chosen a difficult path, but would have the character to match. There is a modicum of luck, with Sun exactly trine Jupiter, and great enthusiasm (Mars exactly sextile Jupiter). Mercury is also exactly sextile Uranus (mental brilliance), so he could be a master of precision with all those precise aspects! At the beginning of the second week of Wimbledon 2015 the North Node conjuncts his Sun, which could be karmically favourable. Jupiter conjuncts his natal Venus, which is personally lucky. And the South Node transits his natal Mars, so he could be facing some old warrior karma, and will be expected by the Lords of Karma to be ethically sportsmanlike. By the end of Wimbledon, he will have lost the two favourable transits, just keeping the sportsmanlike requirement. Again, he does not look like the overall winner this year, but should get through the next round.
No. 11 – Gilles Simon
We do have a birthchart for Gilles Simon, born in Nice (the French are good at birthtimes). He is a double Capricorn, with Sun and Ascendant in that sign, but lightened by Jupiter rising. His emotional reactions are quick, with the Moon conjunct Mars, but they are in the sign of Pisces so sometimes they can be vague or roundabout in their expression. His Mercury is exactly conjunct his natal Uranus in Sagittarius, so he has a keen, quick and intuitive mind and mental reflexes, and a highly strung nervous system. His Mars is exactly sextile Neptune, so he could be capable of some sensitive play and subtle shots. He also has Saturn on the South Node, so may have brought through some difficult karma from past lives, possibly from Russia. At the beginning of the second week, where he meets Tomas Berdych, Uranus squares his natal Jupiter which could cause an upset, though Tomas’ own transits are not distinguished so they may be evenly matched. Towards the end of the tournament, Jupiter also squares his natal Saturn, so like Berdych he may not make the final. In their synastry (compatibility) Gilles’ Saturn sextiles Berdych’s Sun, so Gilles may have the edge, though Berdych has beaten him this year. It’s a fine call between them.
No. 14 – Kevin Anderson
Kevin Anderson is a Taurean from South Africa, with a persevering Mars in Capricorn closely trine his Taurus Mercury – quick mental and physical reactions, and a great deal of stamina. He has 5 of his 10 planets in Earth signs. He will need the stamina, as he’ll be playing Novak Djokovic in the next round, a real contender for the overall title. As we start the second week, Uranus is square his natal Mars (which could make him incident-prone, or even accident-prone). The Nodal Axis will also be squaring his natal Neptune, which could make him wobbly spiritually. The latter transit vanishes by the end of Wimbledon, but the Uranus to Mars transit is still operational. So the cards are stacked against him, astrologically as well as in the draw. Their synastry is very weak, so Anderson may not engage much in the match.
Women’s Seeds
No. 5 – Caroline Wozniacki
Caroline Wozniacki has 7 out of her 10 planets in Cardinal signs, so is a natural leader. She has a natural system of checks and balances within her psyche, with a triple conjunction of Chiron/Sun/Jupiter in Cancer opposite her Saturn in Capricorn. Her Mercury squares Mars, so she can get irritable or suffer from frayed nerves. Her Sun/Chiron conjunction is exact, so she may have some healing talent. She was engaged to Rory McIlroy the golfer, but with the engagement being broken last year she may have been emotionally drained, as she wasn’t so prominent in Wimbledon in 2014. Hopefully, her star is rising again. At the beginning of this week, Chiron is busy in her chart (and it is an important planet for her natally) – it trines her Jupiter and sextiles her natal Saturn. This could help her healing and general physical wellbeing. She has an additional fillip with Saturn trine her natal Mercury, so she’ll be concentrating well too, so she should progress at the beginning of the week. By the end of Wimbledon, the Jupiter transits have gone, but the Saturn transit remains. That could get her into the final.
No. 6 – Lucie Safarova
Lucy is an Aquarian, a sign you don’t often find in tennis players. She has good energy levels (Sun sextile Mars), excellent control (Mars trine exactly Saturn), a magnetic personality (Venus conjunct Uranus), good karmic sense (Sun sextile exactly North Node and trine Chiron) and also has healing potential (North Node sextile exactly Chiron). At the beginning of this second week, Neptune trines her Pluto, giving her some staying power, but that may not be enough to propel her through the second week. The end of the tournament does not look promising either. Her opponent in the next round, Coco Vandeweghe, looks quite dynamic and has a good transit at the final!
No. 13 – Agnieszka Radwanska
Here we drop down 7 seeds as all the intervening ones are out!
I wrote in 2014:
“She has a bouncy, enthusiastic and energetic conjunction of Mars and Jupiter in her chart, which is useful in a sporting life. But Agnieszka has a natally depressive exact conjunction of Saturn and Neptune…”
At the beginning of this week, Mars trines her Venus, giving her some heart. But Saturn opposes her Jupiter, so she may be disappointed by her next match. Agnieszka’s transits are not easy at all at the end of Wimbledon: Jupiter opposes her natal Mercury, and the Nodal Axis squares her natal Uranus. She plays Jelena Jankovic in the next round, who put out reigning champion Petra Kvitova yesterday. Jelena seems set to make a comeback, with the North Node trine her Jupiter, though she does have a confusing Neptune transit to her Sun – she may have used this as a springboard to regaining her spirit. As she will lose the North Node trine by the final, Jelena may not reach the final; however, Jankovic has the advantage in their synastry.
No. 15 – Timea Bacsinszky
Timea has a lucky exact conjunction of Sun and Jupiter in Gemini, making her very nimble too. She also has the exact conjunction of Saturn and Neptune which can also pull her down, so a very contradictory chart. She has Venus conjunct Chiron in Cancer, so perhaps some poignant family issues (we do know she has issues with her father), and Venus opposite Uranus which is awkward for her personal life. Her great strength is an exact sextile between Saturn and Pluto, which could make her very strong indeed under pressure. Her Nodal Axis squares her natal Mercury, so she could have some responsibility as a teacher later in her career. She seems to be on good form this year. Saturn opposes her natal Mercury and the Nodal Axis squares her Venus as we start the week, which are not helpful for her. To these would be added Mars opposing her natal Neptune by the end of Wimbledon, which is a lot to battle against astrologically. She plays Monica Niculescu at the beginning of the week, who has a small edge in their synastry. Jupiter trines Niculescu’s Uranus and Mars trines her Pluto, plus Nicolescu has supportive transits. So Bacsingszky may lose the next round. Though Nicolescu loses her astrological support by the end of the Wimbledon – so is anyone going to get through?!!
Aspects
Not an easy week, with the Sun opposing Pluto. Though some people did not even find last week easy, and the aspects were very kind.
Today has a literary flavour with Mercury sextile Venus, so art and literature can flourish, as can diplomacy and discussion. It’s a good day to forge ahead if you are engaged in a major writing project. Reading a favourite novelist can stimulate ideas, e.g. you may want to start up a book club.
Tomorrow afternoon (Monday 6th) is a little more heavy-hearted, there is no way to sweeten the pill of Sun opposite Pluto. Serious issues may need to be dealt with, psychologically at least. It is the Dalai Lama’s birthday, so you may want to take a leaf out of one of his books, and consider his philosophies. Perhaps catch up with his interview at Glastonbury via You Tube.
Mercury enters the sign of Cancer on Wednesday (8th), at tea time in the U.K. The collective mind has been in the nimble sign of Gemini, but now becomes more reflective and subject to emotion. You may find that you cannot consider something rationally without having to bring human emotion into the equation. Mercury will be travelling very rapidly through Cancer and enters Leo on 23rd. If you are a budding novelist, take advantage of this current position, as the sign of Cancer lends itself to imaginative writing and reflection, e.g. historical fiction.
Mars trines Neptune late in the evening, so if you have started a novel at tea time, by the evening you could be on fire, and your imagination will run riot in an inspired way! You can get something going in a big way on Wednesday, as long as it is a combination of physical energy and the higher imagination, running along spiritual lines. If you are looking for a breakthrough in your meditation practice, for instance, this is a good day for it.
On Friday/Saturday (10th/11th) Mercury squares the Nodal Axis, and there may be some intense karmic discussion, teaching and learning, possibly in groups, if you are involved in any. There needs to be absolute mental balance, in order to move forward. Splitting hairs, if necessary!
The week in bullet points:
- Today – a literary fest
- Tomorrow – psychologically heavy
- Wednesday – new mental outlook, incorporating feelings; constructive physical and spiritual movements
- Friday/Saturday – a karmic recalibration on the mental level

I did read and enjoy all of last weeks comments, and thanks Lana for initiating them with your astrological forecasts. What with watching the tennis, coping with sleepless nights due to the heat, and reading them I wasn’t up to contributing. I am looking forward to this second week, apart from the shock when it’s all over. A brief look into 2016 was just the thing to raise my spirits.
Meanwhile a happy tennis week for us all.

Dear Lana
I think you should be eligible for a Wimbledon press pass by now.
As it seems to be open season for making Wimbledon-related requests I’d like to know how Amelie Mauresmo will get on in week 2. Yesterday, I was fearing for her blood pressure and praying the tension wouldnt send her into premature labour. Coupled with that, I still havent recovered from sharing Nadal’s anxieties. What a week it was.
Thank you for this weeks run down. It was especially interesting as I had only heard of one of the women previously.
For Saturdays aspects you wrote about “intense karmic discussion, teaching and learning, possibly in groups, if you are involved in any”. On Saturday we have our Reiki 3 seasonal round up for summer so we unknowingly picked a good date ……. and we wont miss the mens final at Wimbledon!

Dear Lana,
I hope you are having a great weekend! I am glad we had some rain today as the grass needs it.
Thank you for putting up Astrology for Wimbledon for the second week. I have found more interesting Astrology from another Astrologist. This person is Spanish.
It was translated by Google- I hope you can understand what it means and here it is:

Nole, Roger, Rafa, Andy and an appointment with the Great Master
Lord of time and solitude, is the father and lawgiver rigid limits; It represents the old and traditional things. Cold nature of delays and hampers the events for that teaches us to be patient and consistent. And often through pain and suffering. Saturn is one of the cronocatores of astrology and a key player in the fabric of the universe. Giving his first steps in Sagittarius retrograde temporarily for a few months in this 2015 to the last degrees of Scorpio and definitely to enter and leave their teachings in the sign of fire (from September 2015) for the next three years.
Sagittarius is the sign of sport and the house of Jupiter, expansion, joy, generosity, waste and exaggeration among so many of its features. Saturn by this sign will leave its mark in the tennis world because Sagittarius crown “to the great” (that is the grandiose, colossal) and Saturn brings its rigidity, its thoroughness; close, contracts and delay. It will hit those who are accustomed to their laurels and reward their way to the children of patience, perseverance and constancy. So from that 2015 will push the top players at a very difficult circuit to achieve great conquests (read Grand Slams) when many of the great players begin new Solar Return (RS) from May 2015 period.
Let’s start with Andy Murray changing the May 15 return. Scot comes from playing the final of Australia 2015 after his post-operative back in 2014 without being able to recover the superlative game that led him to win Wimbledon and the US Open. That’s because it is under RS, the current, very bad with his bullfighting Sun receiving opposition from Saturn when it was yet to Scorpio. Changing return will not help much in this 2015 to recover because Saturn since 2nd of Sagittarius will be his opposite this time ruler of the Ascendant and Midheaven, which is the planet almuten of his birth (the strongest), the man who shows the mental agility and skill with the hands and wrists: Mercury located in the 3rd degree of Gemini.
While Mars, the lesser evil, remain above that home planet so you should take care of these parts of the body and the physical in general to avoid falling into another injury. It will be difficult to win a Grand Slam for the remainder of 2015 including Australia 2016 under this configuration.
We saw some of the great Nole, current world no.1 Novak Djokovic, the charisma of a champion. With a Sun in Gemini in the 0 ° is as follows who affect Saturn. If the Ascendant is our mask, as we see, the Sun of a person is the beginning of life and light, source of vitality, it is your ego, your essence, your inner fire, is what we did in this life.
Nole in the case of a Gemini you see as your Sun Saturn in opposition affect all these values and meanings bringing a difficult period in his personal life. With this aspect being, the person himself does not shine, no longer stands because saturnine nature is the opposite of the Sun, is the dark, shadow, is the cold that will bring doubts, inhibition and lack of confidence in same. It will be difficult to see Nole lift a Grand Slam under this solar period 2015/16 and that includes Roland Garros, Wimbledon, the US Open in 2015 and Australia in 2016.
I am convinced that if Rafa Nadal was born in antiquity and look your letter does not hesitate to say that he was born to be a warrior or a gladiator from the Roman Colosseum. With this upward Scorpio and Mars in its exaltation is one hundred percent real what we see it: pure muscle, strength, courage, vitality. An animal on the court who never tires of run and hit the little ball with tremendous ability to play marathon matches and wear down his opponent. I overdo the animal? So how can I describe a player who participates in tournaments and win games knowing suffering from appendicitis? That’s a gladiator, someone who does not give up and fight when hurt. That is his Mars as one of its almutens of his birth (the other, the incredible Jupiter in Pisces that elevated him to unimagined limits).
Rafa is entering maturity. In its mature adult life. In astrology it is what we call the Return of Saturn to its natal position and occurs around age 27 a person. According to natively it is as determined as the Grand Master will work. Rafa not only has Mars and Jupiter as native almutens. It has also to his exalted Moon in Taurus, Mercury domiciled in Gemini and Venus to Jupiter mutual reception by exaltation. Almost all strong planets. I say almost because it precisely Saturn the weakest of all to be retrograde and above its upward. And so will activate Saturn in this period, delaying, “going backwards” as indicated by the movement. A clear example of such acts retrograde Saturn in a natal chart a sports competitor is what happened to Mike Krzyzeski coach of the Dream Team in the 2006 World Basketball living his saturnine return Leo (exile) during the event his team were favorites to win the final. As natally retrograde USA had lost their semifinal matches and must settle for third place.
And worse for Rafa coming in a solar return later, when Saturn is in 2016/17 opposite his Gemini sun and see it impossible to win a Grand Slam under that period.
If there is a strong nativity planet Roger Federer that is Saturn. One of his almutens to be in Libra where the old master is exalted showing its best through this formidable player with several characteristics: plays an Orthodox that is classic tennis, is the oldest of which are among the top in the thirty-three years. In the “The older, the better” standard is met. A Saturn chord phrase, lord of the old and the old age. He already won his last Grand Slam under his saturnine return in 2012 at Wimbledon, the most classic tournament in the circuit which is still in force as traditional as wearing white rules. If there is a child of Saturn in the sport this is Roger Federer.
He is still under RS with his leonine Sol square of Saturn receiving from Scorpio and has failed to win a Grand Slam at this stage. Transiting Saturn in Scorpio has shown a decline in those who come to reap laurels (something we saw in Vicente Del Bosque and the Golden Age of Spain Selection) after passing his exaltation.
Despite that Roger has achieved very good successes, partly because of the huge influence of the transit of Uranus trine to his Sun. Uranus is a planet associated with innovations, changes, new techniques evolve and take steps forward in life demolishing the old established structures. That moment when the Swiss coincided seeing that his game was stuck he fetched a new coach. His new coach had an enormous influence on the changes necessary to give tennis was developing to ensure better results.
Witness of this are the words of a great former player like Mats Wilander:
http://canchallena.lanacion.com.ar/m1/1722534-roger-federer-el-rey-de-la-noche
“Federer introduced major changes in his game along with Stefan Edberg. The defeat last year against Robredo was the straw that broke the camel. That’s when he decided to change his racket and call Edberg to modify his game.”
Or as chronicles the ESPN site:
http://www.espn.cl/news/story/_/id/2119161/wimbledon-federer-el-debut-y-un-cambio-en-la-estrategia
“Among the variables that widen the contrast between 2013 and 2014, stands the figure of Stefan Edberg, twice champion of Wimbledon and the engine behind a substantive decision. Change to progress.”
Nothing more appropriate these words to describe an Uranian aspect to the Sun of a person involving the personal decision (Sun) want to evolve (Uranus). That decision in life led him back to the limelight when many predicted his retirement coming at the end of Grand Slams, winning several tournaments Master Series and an incredible level position as number 2 in the world fighting every inch of the top of ranking until the end of 2014 with Novak Djokovic.
Even so under this current RS Saturn suddenly hitting your Sun preclude him win the Grand Slam that he still has to play: Roland Garros and Wimbledon 2015.
While there are no hard aspects of Saturn at its next RS changing in August 2015 to planets in your Nativity, Grandmaster is already transiting opposed his Midheaven and still do with more force later this year putting more obstacles to when great achievements because it is the stage in life where professional successes materialize.
Nole, Roger, Rafa and Andy must deal very early in their lives with Saturn afflicting vital points in their nativities. And the result will be new names engraved on the old cups of the Grand Slams.
Kind Regards
Tri

Good heavens! That’s an Apocalyptic Google Translation and a half! I like the “new names engraved on old cups”. Even more biblical.
July 5th, 2015 at 8:55 pm
Hi Janet,
That what I thought, Maxi is very very good Astrologist. She sometimes post on another site but haven’t done recently. It looks like she has got her own blog.

Dear Sarah
Thanks for kicking off the week with your bright comment!
I have to take issue with you saying you didn’t contribute much – you were one of my main contributors!
Here’s to a riveting week,
Love
Lana
July 6th, 2015 at 8:20 am
Thanks, Janet
As I hinted last week Amelie Mouresmo “has one or two antagonistic transits as the Wimbledon period goes on” so that may link with your observation of her discomfort. It may be all to do with her difficult pregnancy, and not about Andy Murray dropping a serve. For the rest of Wimbledon, Neptune opposes her natal Saturn, but this peaked on Thursday and Friday, just before Murray’s nailbiting match. Neptune is retrograde and will not return to that point until well after the baby is due, so no on court birth on the cards astrologically, rest assured. I noticed that she has a very strong jaw, which I usually associate with Aries rising, but her Ascendant is in fact Scorpio. Her birthchart is well suited to motherhood. Maybe if Andy has another nailbiter (maybe?) we can send Mouresmo some Reiki…
Meanwhile, this will make you laugh: I spotted on hubby Mike’s desk yesterday (your astro-twin) a diet sheet. “What’s this?” I enquired. “It’s Novak Djokovic’s diet. I downloaded it from the internet” he replied. Maybe he wants more stamina for gardening. It is mainly gluten-free, but that wouldn’t faze Mike as he has followed a gluten-free diet before. But watch this space – within weeks he could be whizzing round the garden.
Brilliant to have your views on here,
Love
Lana
July 6th, 2015 at 8:44 am
Dear Tri
Thanks for your mammoth comment!
Yes I did have a good weekend. Hubby Mike was pleased for the garden that it rained.
I did manage to follow most of the Spanish translation, and found it intriguing. It has an interesting mystical style. It seems to highlight the effect of Saturn on the charts of the top four. Up till 1930, and all the centuries before it, Saturn was the ultimate level of fear. But in 1930 Pluto was discovered, and humanity plumbed the depths, the atom bomb was discovered in the 1930s and is associated with Pluto. Psychological exploration has deepened, too, since then, and I think fears have expanded. So now Pluto is more associated with fear, and Saturn one rung on the way to it. However, Saturn commands respect, and together with the North Node is the ruler of Karma. It is interesting that when I looked at the latter half of 2016, the tennis picture looked a bit flat almost across the board. Could this be what she is hinting at, when she says Saturn in Sagittarius will affect tennis, and sport in general? When Saturn last entered Sagittarius about 30 years ago, I felt as though my wings were clipped (I have Chiron and the Sun in Sagittarius). So I could not discount this effect. Nadal as Roman Gladiator? Well that’s intriguing to me, as a past life therapist…He has Scorpio rising and Mars sextile his Ascendant, but in this lifetime he needs to develop his Inner Healer as he has Sun conjunct Chiron, and Moon conjunct North Node (karmic need to nurture himself). I like the observations about Roger, very acutely observed, and they make a lot of sense.
Enjoy every moment this week,
Love

Dear Lana
I am thinking that there will be a dark horse in the semifinal as well. Don’t you agree that Cilic is a really danger for Djokovic with this great aspects you mentioned?
July 6th, 2015 at 11:39 am
Dear Lana
I do not understand what Maxi said about Roger! She said that none of the top players will win GS this year.
The Astrology says that Murray will win Wimbledon but according to Maxi he will not due to bad RS.
So, could you please explain what Maxi is trying to say about Roger, Nole and Murray.
Thank you
Kind Regards
Tri
July 7th, 2015 at 8:10 am
Welcome, Pitsch!
What a difference a day makes…today, we do not know whether Djokovic will win his 5th set and match against Anderson!
So, I will wait and see before replying to you, because I may be comparing Cilic with Anderson, instead of Djokovic.
I will get back to you later,
Love
Lana
July 7th, 2015 at 8:17 am
Thank you for the warm welcome.
Wouldn’t it be interesting how the aspects are for the fifth set between Djokovic and Anderson too?
July 7th, 2015 at 8:36 am
Dear Tri
I think the best person to interpret Maxi’s work is Maxi herself. Perhaps you could write to her directly on that point?
I am not sure exactly what you do not understand, but I don’t pretend to understand it all. She is talking about Saturn as being prominent in Roger’s chart, but I am not able to see that particularly.
It is true that Murray and Djokovic face their Saturn Return in a year or two, and that Saturn in Sagittarius may flatten sport in some way.
Today Djokovic is on the brink…it could go either way for him in this tournament. So she may be right that he will not win Wimbledon 2015.
She points out that Federer won Wimbledon under his Saturn Return, so is there anything to fear?
She is categorically right about the Uranus transit.
I cannot comment about the Solar Return, because I choose not to work with that.
The observations about and role of Stefan Edberg are interesting. I wrote about him last year:
“Stefan Edberg has an outstanding chart, and Federer has chosen well in this respect. Between them, they would bring a great deal of finesse and sensitive skill to a game already at the top level. Highlights of his chart include: Mars trine exactly Jupiter (Energy, Enthusiasm and Luck); Mercury trine Uranus (quick thinking and telepathy – maybe he is able to transmit his advice to Roger from the sidelines); Mercury exactly trine Pluto (psychological perception, so his comments to Roger about his opponents could be very incisive) and Uranus closely conjunct Pluto (a powerful wild energy, which can knock opponents off their stride).”
She points out that Saturn in Sagittarius will oppose Roger’s MC. This will be 18/19th November, between the US Open and the Australian Open. As it will be on his IC, he may need to concentrate on affairs close to home. 30th/31st December, Saturn squares his Ascendant on the cusp of the 4th House, a similar situation. 6/7th March 2016 Saturn transits his natal Part of Fortune in 4th House, which may bring about a change in philosophy on and off the court, but almost certainly will involve home and family.
Thanks for your question, Tri. I don’t know if any of this makes any more sense to you of the issues you have raised,
Love
Lana
July 7th, 2015 at 8:37 am
You are absolutely right, Pitsch!
I will try and take a look at that before it happens,

July 7th, 2015 at 8:57 am
I made the wrong call on two of the ladies yesterday, which is worse than average odds! Neither Wozniacki nor Jankovic got through. In the case of Wozniacki, she was beaten by Garbine Muguruza, whose chart I had not looked at – thought I could get away without it…
Garbine Muguruza
Garbine is a Libran, one sign I do associate with tennis (the great Serena herself is one). She has a fleet of foot, hand and eye co-ordinated conjunction of Mercury and Mars (to one degree). She also has an exact conjunction of Uranus and Neptune in Capricorn, which she could use to bamboozle an opponent! Here Moon is in Cancer, the second sign I associate with tennis (e.g. Virginia Wade), the ability to respond sensitively to the partner or opponent.
Yesterday, she beat Caroline Wozniacki. Mars was exactly trine her natal Mars (and Mercury), intensifying her co-ordination skills and energy levels. Neptune was also exactly trine her natal Mercury, enabling some inspired play and mental resources.
In her synastry with Wozniacki, she has the upper hand, with her Neptune/Uranus exact conjunction exactly opposing Wozniacki’s Sun. Wozniacki would fall prey, more than most, to her ability to bamboozle.
At the time of the women’s final, Jupiter opposes her natal Saturn, which is not easy. Jupiter also squares her natal Pluto, again a difficult aspect. But she still has Neptune trine her Mercury (inspired play and mental resources). So she could make the final, but again I don’t think the aspects are good enough for us to be looking at the winner!
July 7th, 2015 at 9:21 am
Dear Pitsch
In the middle of the match between Djokovic and Anderson, what I am looking for is a nuance of a difference between yesterday’s aspects, when Djokovic lost the first two sets and won the third and fourth, and this afternoon’s aspects for the fifth set. The weather is certainly slightly different, as it was still sunny and dry yesterday as they played till late, and it is damper and cooler today. Will the climate suit Djokovic better? Certainly Anderson got the advantage from the word go yesterday, and it took a while for Djokovic to find his form against him. Will that happen again, the flow having been interrupted from yesterday…
With the Sun opposite Pluto yesterday around the time the match started, a serious change in the order of things was in the air, setting the tone for the match. The loss of the first two sets by Djokovic was quite a shock. At the outset of the match, the Sun was sextile Anderson’s Moon but only if he was born around noon, a minor transit, but very favourable to Anderson. Also Pluto was trine a noon Moon, but we do not have Anderson’s birth time. That may have made all the difference. This may be the key to his victory in the first two sets.
Meanwhile, Djokovic had Saturn trine his Moon and Mars trine his Pluto, so there would not have been any reason for him to do badly, unless Anderson was born around Noon.
Today, the Moon squares Anderson’s Venus; again a minor change and transit, but this may not make things as easy for him today. Djokovic’s Mars trine Pluto starts to wane, but Saturn is still trine his Moon. The minor change for him today is transiting Venus trine his Uranus, which could swing the balance in his favour.
I will report back about Marin Cilic when we see the result of this match!

Dear Lana
Thank you for the quick answer. I really appreciate the time you invest for all your readers. It’s incredible! Do you use your predictions for sports betting as well or only for the fascination of watching?
My English is not that good, that I can write what I am thinking but please don’t count this as disinterest.
Have a nice day.

Dear Lana
The Djokovic Anderson “replay” has just begun. My sister in law said the match was really exciting yesterday and they were so disappointed as dusk fell We were discussing how boring it is when a player just smashes ace after ace. I said I wished they would ban aces! But my sister in law, who is more logical than me, said she would like to have a new rule on serving eg one serve only, which would reduce the smash/ serve/aces and make the game more interesting.
I am enjoying all your commentators this year, Lana!

No time for any book reading, and I only just get some newspaper catch up. Too busy reading the next exciting comment and answer Lana. Thank you for encouraging everyone who then ask such interesting questions. Oh yes, I do watch lots of the tennis too.

Dear Lana,
Wow what an interesting insight about Djokovic match.
What does the Astrology say for Roger VS Simon tomorrow at 1pm? I hope that there are positive transits for Roger to beat Simon.
Murray has got the easiest quarter out of all seeds, how lucky is that
Kind Regards

Lana,
I do not have any direct contact with Maxi unfortunately. I wish I have as I got a lot of questions to ask her about Roger and the others.
Maxi, predicts that Murray will not win Wimbledon because of the bad RS in his chart but at the moment Murray is becoming lucky.
Kind Regards

Hi Lana,
This is from Sally Kirkman Website about who is going to win but I noticed this on her blog:
The Moon is in Sagittarius as the tournament begins and its next aspects are challenging ones, a square to Neptune followed by an opposition to Mercury. The ruler of the Ascendant on the Midheaven is a good case for the favourite to win the tournament but the Moon’s aspects question that statement.
Link to Sally Kirkman blog:

I wonder what Sally is on about the Moon’s Aspects.

Dear Pitsch
Today on court, Marin Cilic has Jupiter on his natal Venus, a beautiful transit. He also has the North Node conjunct his natal Sun, so his karma is favourable. However, Mars is on his South Node because he has the Sun opposing Mars natally, part of his natal Grand Cross (which gives him such strength of character). So, yes, his transits today are very good.
Novak, on the other hand, has Saturn trine his Moon, which is quite stoical. Yesterday’s minor aspect which swung it for him, Venus trine his Uranus, is also still operable, but his transits are not as stunning as Cilic’s.
In their synastry, Cilic’s Neptune trines Djokovic’s Midheaven, and Cilic’s Neptune is part of his Grand Cross (which gives him such strength of character). They would be very sensitive toward each other’s game. I understand that Cilic has not beaten Djokovic, but did take him to 5 sets on their last meeting. So, yes, Pitsch, on the strength of the transits today, Cilic has a good chance of winning.
However, looking at the transits for the end of Wimbledon, for Djokovic I wrote:
“By the end of Wimbledon, that is still operational, but added to that is Mercury sextile his natal Midheaven (mental faculties applied in career), and Uranus sextile his natal Chiron (surprise healing). So it does look as though he will start slow and steady, and be capable of a flourish at the end. The very constructive trine of Saturn to his natal Moon peaks on Friday 10th July around the semi-finals, which should secure him a place in the final at least.”
But for Marin Cilic, I wrote:
“By the end of Wimbledon, he will have lost the two favourable transits, just keeping the sportsmanlike requirement. Again, he does not look like the overall winner this year, but should get through the next round.”
So I cannot be definite in my conclusion. I think the deciding factor will be the Mars on Cilic’s South Node, i.e. his Karma, and sportsmanship. It is an important moment in his life, and a test of his character.
I too feel there is room for a dark horse in the final, but wonder if it might come through the other side of the draw, where Wawrinka currently dominates.
Thank you for your appreciation of my efforts here at Wimbledon fortnight, and your questions about my own enthusiasm. I have never been sporty, and my parents were not interested, but in my teens I began watching Wimbledon on my own, and found it very absorbing. I started blogging about Wimbledon in 2010, and find that doing so enables me to learn more about Astrology and what works in relation to predicting in this sport, and the Astrology enhances my enjoyment of the sport.
My favourite prediction was that of Serena Williams winning Wimbledon in 2012:
“The basis of my prediction was that Serena Williams had the least worst aspects of all the ladies, and that she wore the power colour of magenta in her bandanna and pants.”
But I wouldn’t bet on my own predictions, for many reasons. First, I believe there is a spiritual law which states that you should not use Astrology to profit in that way. Secondly, I am not accurate enough! Thirdly, my birth chart is not suited to gambling in any way, and fourthly I am just not a betting gal!
What I enjoy most about Astrology is its insight into character, and I am fascinated by the interplay of character and destiny, how character creates and shapes destiny. The more you look at a chart and track its transits, the more insight you gain into Astrology, and how that individual chart works.
So I have been able to fit in the blog questions with my schedule, between my regular astrological practice, and it is only a fortnight out of the year. This year, I have sacrificed my daily meditation to do so, and am not sure how that has affected me!
Hope you continue to enjoy mixing Astrology and Tennis, Pitsch!
Love

Dear Janet
Lovely for your sister-in-law to be able to watch live! I have only been to Wimbledon once, in 1975, in the year that Arthur Ashe won.
So I conducted a straw poll in this house, between hubby Mike and I! He said keep the serves as they are, and I said make it three goes, so that it is not as nerve-wracking.
So we have one vote each for:
1. Keeping serves as they are
2. Banning aces
3. One serve only
4. Three goes
Anyone for a tennis vote?

Dear Tri
Yes it was an interesting study on how a minor transit can make a difference, when there is a fine call astrologically. So often it is a fine call, because the aspects are mixed and you have to make an evaluation based on the relative importance of different factors.
Roger vs Simon
I see that Simon has not beaten Roger since 2008, which is heartening for Roger and his fans. And Roger is playing superbly this Wimbledon.
Neither Roger not Gilles Simon has good transits today. So nothing stands out. The chart for 1 pm shows Uranus on the Descendant, which may indicate an upset.
For today, Roger has Venus squaring his Uranus (a minor transit), and Pluto opposite his Mars.
Gilles Simon has Jupiter square his natal Uranus.
Simon’s square is less damaging than Roger’s opposition, but then as I say, Roger (like Serena) has the X Factor, when it comes to his record.
In their synastry, Simon’s Sun squares Roger’s Saturn, which is harder for Gilles. It may be the reason why Gilles has not won a match against Roger since 2008, even though Roger has had some down times in that period.
There is a personal discomfort between them, with Gilles’ Venus squaring Roger’s Moon.
But Gilles’ Uranus trines Roger’s Sun, so they could produce brilliant, innovative tennis between them. Gilles is also capable of surprising Roger.
At the end of the tournament, for Roger I wrote:
“The Pluto opposition to his Mars becomes exact around 19th July, after Wimbledon, and he may need extra rest at that time. Note that the Pluto opposition has not hampered him too much over the last year.”
And for Simon:
“Towards the end of the tournament, Jupiter also squares his natal Saturn, so like Berdych he may not make the final.”
On paper, Gilles has the edge, but Roger is an all round great and that maybe counts for more than the Astrology. Tri, I honestly cannot call it.
As for the Maxi question, her work will have to remain enigmatic, but time will tell whether none of the top seeds wins.
Sally Kirkman is skilled at reading inception charts, and again she can answer your question better, but I will try and clarify a little.
In her chart for the beginning of Wimbledon, Mercury is on the Midheaven in Gemini, and Mercury also rules the Ascendant Virgo. Djokovic is Mercury-ruled Sun in Gemini, but Roger Federer is Mercury ruled in his Ascendant in Virgo. So it doesn’t discount Roger.
I am not sure what the Moon signifies, but the transits she describes between the Moon, Neptune and Mercury may mean that there is confusion about the outcome.
Perhaps you would be able to ask her specifically about the understanding of the Moon’s transits to the inception chart. She seems open to dialogue.
I haven’t looked at Murray’s chances against Pospisil today, but if he gets through I may look at his luck!
Thanks for your discussions,
Love

Dear Lana
I would really appreciate to hear your thougts about Wawrinka vs. Djokovic. One of the argentinan astrologer wrote: “Regarding Federer and Djokovic, what has been said at Roland Garros: I doubt they can win GS under the current solar revolution Saturn hurting their Suns. Djokovic can to reach the final but I see no gain. I put some chips to Wawrinka in that key, perhaps eliminating the Serbian.”
What do you think?
Kind regards

So we only haave one dark-ish horse, Gasquet. More homework for you. The troble with this stage of Wimbledon is that I am already feeling sad that its almost over. I love the feeling of the first few days.
My question for today is “how do you find the dates of birth for so many people?”
Love Janet
July 8th, 2015 at 7:58 pm

Roger and Murray are in the semis and will be playing against each other.
Djokovic has got Gasquet – here is the link to Gasquet birth chart

Dear Lana
I’ve read all your inputs from this and last week again and if I try to predict the finals in your words it would be Djokovic vs. Murray and Williams vs. Muguruza.
Williams and Djokovic as finalist are quiet clear for me because they are the world best tennis player at the moment. Muguruza vs. Radwanska and Murray vs. Federer is close too call. Maybe you can try a shot, Lana?
Kind regards
Pitsch
July 9th, 2015 at 8:35 am
Dear Pitsch
First of all, commiserations at the elimination of Wawrinka – he has become one of my favourite players since he won the French Open.
You have interpreted my writings better than I could! But there is more to find out, and I will indeed be looking at the Ladies’s Semi Finals this morning, and the men’s situation.
Hopefully it will take me about an hour.
Thanks very much for your input,
Love
Lana
July 9th, 2015 at 8:41 am
Dear Janet
Yes indeedy, Pasquet is my next stop. I have never looked at his chart before.
I feel exactly the same as you, mourning for Nadal, Wawrinka, even Cilic…Hopefully we will be able to move on after Wimbledon!
Wikipedia and Astrotheme are good sources for birth dates, and Tri has found us a chart from Astro.Com. It is finding the birth times that is the tricky part. It should be made compulsory for tennis players to reveal their birth times!
Enjoy the tennis today. I will miss the men’s semi-finals tomorrow afternoon, because we are going to a big reunion in Watford. Let me know if anything stunning happens. But I will be back Saturday morning no doubt analysing the results, and the weekend’s prospects.
Love
Lana
July 9th, 2015 at 8:49 am
Dear Tri
It does seem we may have a dark horse in the shape of Gasquet. I had a feeling from the start that the dark horse may come through the Wawrinka line. In my original post on 28th June I wrote:
“it is possible that he may be toppled before the final; that may be a chance for an unpredictable player in his half of the draw.”
And that feeling has continued throughout. Mind, you, I have got plenty wrong this Wimbledon!
So my plan of action this morning is to look at Gasquet’s chart, then to look at the Murray/Federer combination for tomorrow, and then to look at the Ladies’s Semi Finals…
Thanks, for coming up with a chart for Gasquet – you’ve saved me a job!
Love

Richard Gasquet
As I have said before, the French are very good at birth times, so we have one for Richard Gasquet! This reveals Venus exactly on the Ascendant in Leo, which makes him astrologically a bit of an Adonis. But tenniswise it means he is a showman and greatly competitive. The competition is a very serious matter, as Saturn is at the beginning of the 5th House of Sport closely trine his natal Ascendant/Venus. Certainly he competed right to the end of the match with Wawrinka, when all might have seemed lost. Another very interesting feature of his chart is the Moon conjunct Pluto in Scorpio, so he is a man of deep emotion. This conjunction squares his Venus, and it may have caused problems in his emotional life, or between the women in his life. Mercury is closely opposite Mars which makes for a tense nervous system – the Guardian says this morning: “By this sage, Gasquet was reapplying the overgrip to his racket handle at every change of ends, his nerves there for everyone to see. His mental solidity has never been a strength…” But Mercury trines Jupiter, so he has a great breadth of mind, and visio-spatial capacity for reading the court. The Sun (his Ascendant ruler) is exactly sextile his natal North Node (a karmic mission as a winner), and Chiron sextiles exactly his Midheaven (a healing path in his career, broken by healing crises, which explains the gap between earlier success and now). So what are his prospects for Friday and Sunday? Friday’s aspects are mixed: Uranus squaring his Mercury (mental tension), Chiron on his Jupiter (could be a healing), North Node sextile exactly his Saturn (karmic hard work could pay off), Uranus trine his Uranus (could surprise even himself) and Nodal Axis squaring his natal Neptune (confused karma to work towards clarity). As you can see, there is a lot going on for him, so going back to his victory yesterday, was there anything different from that? No, all those aspects were there, and he used the good ones and overcame the difficult ones, to beat Wawrinka, which is possibly why the match was so tight. So looking beyond, to the final, will anything have changed? Not really, so that gives him a chance for the title. The dark horse could make it. In his synastry with Djokovic, who he plays at the men’s semis, his Uranus opposes Djokovic’s Chiron. It could be a painful match to watch in many respects. Normally, the furthest planet out has the advantage (in this case Uranus), but Chiron and Uranus are both tricksters, and can outwit each other! So, looking at my original picture for Djokovic at the final: “it does look as though he will start slow and steady, and be capable of a flourish at the end. The very constructive trine of Saturn to his natal Moon peaks on Friday 10th July around the semi-finals, which should secure him a place in the final at least.” That looks promising for him, but Gasquet’s final transits are such that he could actually triumph – I would not discount him. I think it depends how inspired Gasquet will be, for he looked tired at the end of the Wawrinka match, and tense.
July 9th, 2015 at 9:47 am
Federer vs Murray – Men’s Semi-Finals
On Men’s Semi-Final Day, Roger Federer still has Pluto opposite his Mars. While he has been working with this transit over the last two years, he went from being a victim of it, to having mastered it, and forging a state of great strength and resilience, turning it effectively from an opposition to a trine, or rising above it. Added to that, he has the X-Factor, like Serena. So to some extent, he is not relying on luck, or even the positive planetary aspects, at this final stage of that transit. He has fulfilled its requirements and potential. Of Andy I wrote on 28th: “At the start of Wimbledon he has three good trines: Jupiter trine his natal Moon, Uranus trine his natal Saturn and (most profound of the three) Pluto trine his Ascendant. The latter peaks two days after Wimbledon, which is close to the final, and speaks of a height of personal power. I feel this is an encouraging sign for his prospects of winning.” So Andy Murray has the planets on side, and if he wins, the Astrology is borne out; and if Roger wins, it will be seen that one special man can overcome astrological factors. I will have to go with the Astrology, as it is my trade, but am willing to learn otherwise from the Universe. There are asteroids and other heavenly bodies we do not know of, and are not working with at this point in time, too. In their synastry and interpersonal karma, which in 2012 was on a knife edge – one won Wimbledon, the other the Olympics, they are well-matched: Federer’s Pluto sextiles Andy’s Moon, which gives Federer the advantage of depth in their encounter; Andy’s Neptune squares Roger’s Jupiter, which gives him the capacity to sometimes confuse Roger and underestimate Andy; finally, Roger’s Mars sextiles Andy’s Ascendant, and invigorates Andy’s game. Andy raises his game to match the great player.
July 9th, 2015 at 10:25 am
Ladies Semi-Finals
Serena Williams vs Maria Sharapova
Today, Chiron squares Serena Williams’s Neptune (she is capable of confusion, tears and tantrums) but Jupiter sextiles her natal Pluto (basically, she has just got to be her authentic self to triumph). Here is my original analysis:
“Looking at the end of the tournament, Jupiter actually sextiles her natal Pluto, which is very helpful for her. The end of the tournament is not without tension though, with Chiron squaring her Neptune (psychological battle) and Mars square her Saturn (physical discomfort), plus a nice touch of North Node on her Sun (karmic support). But the Jupiter support to her Pluto happens exactly on 10/11th July, which is at the time of the Ladies’ finals. That is a strong showing for her.”
For Maria Sharapova today, Neptune squares her natal Mars (confused action; perhaps a lot of unforced errors), and Uranus trine her natal Saturn, which has given her the steel she needed throughout the tournament. There is a danger of nerves from the Neptune square overcoming her at this momentous match. I originally wrote:
“At the end of Wimbledon Mars additionally squares her natal Jupiter which may just add passion to her performance, though minor injury is possible. If she can cope with some physical vulnerability, other astrological factors are strong for her.” She does have some strong aspects on her behalf, but I would still see Serena as winning the semi-final.
Their synastry is quite cool (in that they would not be natural friends). Serena’s Saturn opposes Maria’s Jupiter, so Serena would quash Maria’s optimism, and Maria’s Saturn squares Serena’s natal Moon so she can quash Serena on an emotional level. Competitively, Serena has the edge, but on a personal level Maria can bring Serena down if they were socializing. So again, I think Serena would tend to have the edge in this respect.
Garbine Muguruza vs Agnieszka Radwanska
I first wrote about Garbine Muguruza on Tuesday:
“She has a fleet of foot, hand and eye co-ordinated conjunction of Mercury and Mars (to one degree). She also has an exact conjunction of Uranus and Neptune in Capricorn, which she could use to bamboozle an opponent! Here Moon is in Cancer, the second sign I associate with tennis (e.g. Virginia Wade), the ability to respond sensitively to the partner or opponent…At the time of the women’s final, Jupiter opposes her natal Saturn, which is not easy. Jupiter also squares her natal Pluto, again a difficult aspect. But she still has Neptune trine her Mercury (inspired play and mental resources). So she could make the final, but again I don’t think the aspects are good enough for us to be looking at the winner!”
For Agnieszka, I wrote on Sunday:
“Agnieszka’s transits are not easy at all at the end of Wimbledon: Jupiter opposes her natal Mercury, and the Nodal Axis squares her natal Uranus.” Today these transits apply, as much for the final position. If we had a birth time for her, that might refine or even change the picture, but as it is, there is not much going for her, so astrologically Muguruza is the stronger at this time. In their compatibility, Muguruza puts a strain on Agnieszka mentally, with her Saturn on Agnieszka’s Mercury and her Pluto squaring Agnieszka’s Mercury. But they can co-operate well to give a good match, with Radwanska’s Uranus trine exactly Muguruza’s Chiron – they could try hard to provide ingenuity and entertainment. Astrologically, then Garbine Muguruza, despite her being the less established player, is more likely to win today. If she does go through, I will examine her relationship with the other finalist on Saturday morning, if not tomorrow.
July 9th, 2015 at 10:31 am
Dear Lana
Thank you for the latest bulletins. Gasquet comes over as a very complex character which should make the tennis interesting. I am hoping he can deal with his understandable nerves!
After reading and rereading your analyses this weeks it sounds as if the true champions maximise their positive aspects and learn to overcome the negatives. So a negative aspect isnt necessarily a bad thing if it ultimately strengthens a player.
I have to award Pitsch the cup for the most entertaining blog-response this Wimbledon. I really did laugh when I read these words written by Pitsch
“Maybe you can try a shot, Lana?”
I dont know if any pun was intended but I now have a picture in my minds eye of you, Lana, on Centre Court.

Hello Lana,
What amazing Blogs on Wimbledon and all of the interesting Comments.
I couldn’t resist adding another one.
For me everything in my life used to stop for Wimbledon, I was always glued to the Telly for two weeks!!
A few years or so ago my interest began to wane, it’s returned since reading your Blogs.
My favourite match so far was between Rafael Nadal and Dustin Brown.
That match got me so excited.
Can’t wait for the the rest of the matches to take place.
I’m no expert, but love to read what you and every one has to say.
My all time favourite Player was John McEnroe.
A belated Happy Birthday To Sarah and your Mum, hope they both had a wonderful time.
I would have commented sooner, only I’ve had a Tummy Bug, very unusual for me a Virgo.
I’m fully recovered now, I always seem to make a reasonably quick recovery.
Warm Wishes to you Lana, you’re a wonderfully talented lady.
Lots of Love Shirley.
July 9th, 2015 at 2:53 pm
Hello Shirley, it’s lovely to hear your tennis views.
I’m beginning to feel a little panicky Lana…..how do we manage next week without Wimbledon and it’s tennis. What did we do last year? Back to the old routines I guess. It seems a bit more special this year, but there’s next year to contemplate of course.
Happy viewing of the remaining matches, and further comments even.

Hi Lana and Everyone
I have found this on Argentine website from Maxi who is very good at Astrology. Here what she says in Spanish and Bing translation for those who don’t understand Spanish.
Spanish:
Y Murray que es un jugador netamente de canchas rapidas tiene mejores chances durante Wimbledon 2015 cuando Jupiter este haciendole trigono muy cerrado a su luna provocando momentos de felicidad.
Solo debera cuidarse tal vez de algun jugador que no tengamos en carpeta (como paso con Wawrinka).
Cita:
Empezado por menteperfecta Ver Mensaje
Y Murray….que decir, demasiado esta haciendo. Viene de una operacion en la espalda y tiene a saturno en cuadratura a su sol. Seria una sorpresa para mi que gane el torneo. Mirando por arriba, le veo chances en Wimbledon 2015.
English Version
And Murray who is a player of fast courts has best chances during Wimbledon 2015 when this making him very closed trigone to your Moon Jupiter causing moments of happiness.
Only must watch out for perhaps any player that we don’t have in folder (as happened to Wawrinka).
Quote:
Started by menteperfecta see message
And Murray… to say, too is doing. It comes from an operation on his back and has Saturn in quadrature to the Sun. It would be a surprise me that wins the tournament. Looking up, I see chances in Wimbledon 2015.
I do not understand what she means, do you?
Kind Regards
Thank you

Dear Janet
Thanks very much for your observations.
Planetary transits are about the evolution of consciousness. We are all seeking to refine our response to the outer planets, which challenge us to expand our consciousness. Each time we experience for instance a Uranus transit, we learn something new starting from where we are with that planetary energy. So some people will be more evolved than others in their response, but we are always learning, and we have mastered some planets more than others.
You have a very vivid imagination Janet, if you can picture me on Centre Court, even in jest! I sometimes feel I am lobbing comments over the net though, when I am replying at Wimbledon fortnight. I must say, Pitsch’s English is really rather good, even though he says he struggles with it.
Enjoy your Reiki get together. Funnily enough, the big reunion we are going to in Watford very much fits the karmic recalibration in groups of today and tomorrow’s Nodal Axis square Mercury.

How lovely to hear from you!
I think for a lot of people Dustin Brown’s victory was a highlight of Wimbledon.
My own highlight was the Watson-Williams match. I was just amazed at how close Heather came to beating Serena, and what promise she shows for the future.
My mum, though not interested in tennis, used to like John McEnroe. I think he reminded her of my brother, who has Mars conjunct the Moon in Aquarius. She had a real soft spot for him. By the time he wrote his autobiography, McEnroe had really mellowed, and it is an excellent read. He’s a good commentator too.
Keep well,
Love

Dear Tri
She has lost me too, but it may simply be a problem in the translation.
If she means Murray’s Moon and Jupiter, with his Moon at 21 degrees Sagittarius and his Jupiter at 17 degrees Aries, then with Jupiter now at 23 degrees Leo there is a loose Grand Trine formed, which must be what she means by the word trigone.
Does that help at all?
Love

Ladies Final
Serena Williams vs Garbine Muguruza
This is just a formality, as all along the transit for the final (Jupiter sextile her Pluto) would seem to have pointed to Serena winning. But Muguruza is just sublime and a breath of fresh air, and I hope for a wonderful match tomorrow. Just looking at their chemistry, and Muguruza has beaten Serena (which not a lot of players have!), Muguruza’s Venus is on Serena’s Moon, so they have an empathetic connection. But more tellingly, Williams’s Pluto exactly trines Muguruza’s Saturn, which would bring a strong match, harnessing the strength of each player. Pluto (William’s planet) would tend to pull rank over Muguruza’s (Saturn), but as we have seen Muguruza knows she is not unbeatable.
July 10th, 2015 at 6:01 pm

Nole has won today. Murray lost to Federer. Roger got to play against cocky serb on Sunday. Nole has now got solar return in effect.
So who do you think going to win the tournament?

Hi Lana,
Novak Djokovic has entered his new Solar return which started on his birthday. I found this on Argentine website.
Sun-Saturn opposition solar revolution is a very bad look for a “solar” figure like him (No. 1 in the world)
And it is confirmed that Venus is not in good standing will not (does not make you look or natal sun or Jupiter)
It will be a year of “can not keep crowns” over the loss of top ranking.
While Jupiter at the time of the US Open will be in Virgo making her radical Venus trine with that rev.solar be difficult for a transit help him too.
July 11th, 2015 at 9:00 am
Dear Tri
Thanks for your comments!
Men’s Final
Federer vs Djokovic
Roger Federer: “The Pluto opposition to his Mars becomes exact around 19th July, after Wimbledon, and he may need extra rest at that time. Note that the Pluto opposition has not hampered him too much over the last year.”
Novak Djokovic: “The very constructive trine of Saturn to his natal Moon peaks on Friday 10th July around the semi-finals”
Chemistry: Novak’s Sun sextiles Roger’s North Node, so Roger is gracious towards Novak, but holds the upper hand karmically. Novak’s Mercury squares Roger’s Venus, so in a specific interaction Novak will come from the mind, and Roger the heart. And Novak’s Neptune squares Roger’s Jupiter, so Novak can expand his consciousness to gain the upper hand, while Roger’s luck can sometimes be derailed by confusion in their interaction.
Again, Novak’s planetary transits are better than Roger’s tomorrow. But if your information is correct about Novak’s Solar Return, specifically that it highlights Saturn opposite his Sun, then that may be the reason if he loses. I tend to see planetary transits as more important than the influence of the Solar Return. But as I say, Roger and Serena have the X-Factor which seems to override all planetary influences. Serena has the winning planetary transit this year to boot.
I don’t see Djokovic as a “cocky serb” – I see him as someone who has honed their athletic abilities and talents to their peak of efficiency.
The Guardian wrote this morning:
“When Djokovic beat Federer to win his second title here 12 months ago, he was the villain of the crowd and he is ready for the same treatment again.”
But if extra points were awarded for beautiful play, gracefulness and entertainment, Federer would scoop the prize. In addition he has worldwide popularity. If good will and heart energy makes a difference to the outcome, then again he would scoop the prize. I have to go against the Astrology (not for the first time) and go for Federer to win. I just think it would be lovely for him, at the grand old age of 33, to extend his record.

Thanks for texting me while I was travelling to Watford, to update me on the men’s semi-final. I wish I could have seen it! As it was, the karmic calibration in the group context was spot on.
And thank you for your evaluation here.
Don’t forget, there is a place on the couch for you here for the final, if you can manage without air conditioning…

Dear Lana,
This is from Maxi from Argentine Website.
Moon ruler of the MC apply to Venus ruler of the ASC.
Roger is Saturnino by nature and this NN near radical Saturn. With existing RS mercury (governs the angles of your chart) in partil conjunction leonino Sun.
I like Roger to Wimbledon
From Juan -Argentine Website
At the time, I considered it as the best of all the debuts by what you said at the beginning. But I discarded the master by his quadrature Saturno-Sol in the RS.
It happens that Djokovic looks the same in the RS that has just begun (and already deprived Roland Garros).
Did you see the RL’s force of both Maxi? Roger mercury residing in the lunar X in Sextile to natal Mercurio-Sol but Sun Moon squaring partil natal Saturn. And Djokovic with the MC falling on natal Asc and lunar Venus in the MC but in quadrature to Saturn moon. Both have a “but” big, but one of the two will win lol. I prefer not to say anything.
Maxi reply
Piori me gusta mas Roger to have angular Mercury’s. Until that point the lunar Sun can hurt you bad with your Saturn because the greatest Astro does not apply any angle and Saturn is not almuten of their Nativity.
We will have to see later step of opposing Neptune to the natal ASC.
Nole paints more screwed up by the tense Venus Saturn and because the lunar ruler is Mars this fallen and still combusto.
In addition the RS of Nole Sun Saturn EPO does not look good. It is an aspect that denotes lack of confidence in one’s self, fear, fear. And logically, personal frustrations as the Sun the individuality, the essence of the person.
Juan reply –
Hopefully hopefully hopefully. It strikes me the Saturn Sunday, as in these days, in partil Trigon to the natal Moon of Djokovic.
UF end awaits us
Can you make any sense of this?

Dear Tri
Well Serena had the best transit all along, I couldn’t find anyone among the women who had a better transit. Mark that transit well – transiting Jupiter sextile exactly natal Pluto (it is like having an Ace up your sleeve, or serving an Ace).
Back to the men’s battle, and thank you for the further Argentinian conversations and translations.
One thing I do recognize:
“Juan reply –
Hopefully hopefully hopefully. It strikes me the Saturn Sunday, as in these days, in partil Trigon to the natal Moon of Djokovic.”
Bears some resemblance to my sentence:
‘Novak Djokovic: “The very constructive trine of Saturn to his natal Moon peaks on Friday 10th July around the semi-finals” ‘
The rest of the exchange is less easy to decipher. A lot seems to revolve around the Solar Return, but it is nice to see the discussion between them.
Good luck to your man tomorrow!

Hi Lana,
I hope you are having a good day.
Sally Kirkman has posted her thoughts on the Final. She doesn’t use the Solar Return like you. She is not sure who will win.
Tomorrow’s final:
Djokovic – you have to like the Mercury Gemini cnj MC of the chart of tournament for the favourite, no. 1 seed, winning. Djokovic is a Sun Gemini and his natal Mercury is at 18 Gemini and very close to the chart Mercury at 15 Gemini.
During the tournament, Pluto has been in close sextile to his MC, career point of the chart (based on an 11:25pm birth time). This gives him steely determination to win.
In his Solar Return May 2015, Sun Gemini is the career planet in close opposition to Saturn. Yet, I still think Saturn is Djokovic’ planet so does this mean no Grand Slam wins as some astrologers are predicting? Plus Jupiter is conjunct the Midheaven of his Solar Return chart which looks glorious for him (again, the 11:25 pm time).
Federer – Pluto is reversing to oppose his Mars for the second time on July 19th. The first opposition coincided with him going out of the Australian Open earlier this year. It’s coming soon, not quite yet but he might be feeling it.
However, he’s had Jupiter sextile both his natal Pluto & Neptune during the tournament – and he’s playing like a dream.
n.b. one thing I didn’t see when writing my first predictions is that his Ascendant is progressed cnj Jupiter, exact in September 2015, so active now – nice. Plus his Solar Return for August 2015 looks amazing. I don’t think he’s going anywhere fast…
The Final chart: The favourite is represented by a glorious Venus in Leo conjunct Jupiter as the Ascendant is Libra. The second favourite is represented by Mars in Cancer in its sign of fall combust the Sun. So the match prediction is clear – the favourite will win.
Yet… who is the favourite? Officially, it’s Djokovic as the no. 1 seed but I have been hearing that the odds are drawing much closer since Federer’s impressive victory over Murray. Federer will undoubtedly be the favourite with the crowd who would love him to win a record-breaking 8th Wimbledon title.
One astrologer recently wrote that with Jupiter still in Leo, it favours the Leo, Roger Federer. Simple astrology but sometimes surprisingly effective.
Intriguingly in the chart for the final, the Moon is in Gemini (Djokovic) but the Midheaven & success point is Leo (Federer).
Conclusion: As you can probably tell, I am not convinced who will win. If you go with both charts for the tournament and the final, it would be Djokovic. Yet, I have a feeling that Roger Federer might produce something amazing tomorrow and as much as I do love Djokovic, I would love for Roger Federer to win. He doesn’t have too many more chances and he is playing superb tennis. I’ll be rooting for him to win.
Love Trix

Dear Lana,
Are you enjoying your weekend? I can’t believe it is nearly the end of Wimbledon, gosh it has gone so quickly.
This is from another Astrologist on Argentine Website said this:
I join and pointed to the legend Federer as Wimbledon champion tomorrow. The rematch of last year!
Sunday morning the planet Venus comes close to a head with the square Saturn, and we know the importance of this star in the chart of Novak Djokovic. In addition to testimony before JC named in the Serbian RL.
I tried to analyze the eventual letter of the party, about 14:10 pm.
A Djokovic give the house I, being the favorite, world No. 1 and defending champion. Your ruler Venus is wrong at saying, is going to the square to Saturn. If we take almuten house, this would be Saturn which also has great strength for his retro condition.
House VII Federer would in this case, the challenger seeking the crown. Mars and Sun are intercepted and cadent, but something of level for me, is that the moon touches the anstiscio the Sun by conjunction.

Dear Tri
Yes thank you, I had a good day, apart from shedding a few tears over Muguruza…
Hope you also had a good day.
Thanks for keeping us in the global loop of Wimbledon astrobloggers!
I enjoyed Sally’s final summing up: especially her pointing out that Roger has Jupiter sextile his natal Pluto (the same transit as Serena). This peaked 2nd/3rd July, but seems to still be holding. I mentioned it for the beginning of Wimbledon, but wasn’t sure how long he could make that one last!
I have to say I am confused by the Argentinian translations. It does go to show the wide range of techniques used by different astrologers. Hopefully, we will all learn by the results this year.
Tomorrow will be a very interesting day!
We’ve enjoyed having your views here, Tri.

Dear Lana
Firstly congratulations for reaching a record breaking 57 blog responses which show how popular your Wimbledon season is. I am already looking forward to next year. Thank you to everyone who added such novel comments and clips from foreign astrologers.
Then I wanted to let you know that “there may be some intense karmic discussion, teaching and learning, possibly in groups, if you are involved in any” was highly relevant for our Saturday Reiki reunion just as it was for yours in Watford.
Love Janet (off to watch the tennis now)
July 12th, 2015 at 7:01 pm
Dear Lana,
Roger has lost to Djokovic – you was right with Nole Astrology. When will Roger ever going to win his 18th GS – USO or next year?
Serena is getting all the luck at the moment. I bet she will be disappointed tonight that Roger won’t be joined her. I don’t think she likes Djokovic that much.
A lot of celebrities were disappointed as well.
Kind Regards
Trixx

July 13th, 2015 at 9:25 am
Dear Tri
It was agonizing to watch the end of the final yesterday…
Yes, both the winners had the edge astrologically (but also seedwise).
To recap on this year:
U.S. Open 2015
31st Aug – 13 Sept
At the beginning of the US Open Chiron from Pisces in his 7th House will be trine Roger’s Moon in Scorpio in his 3rd House. This may be more of a personal transit, connected with the relationships with the women in his life. But the constructive transit will impinge on his mood on the court, and that seems sound. He will feel quite together, so to speak!
By the end Mars trines his Neptune, which is not such a major transit but still quite constructive for his mood and psychology. He could be quietly pleased with his overall performance, but it is not a stunning end to that season.
As I said, the first two next year (Australian and French) seem O.K. and therefore possible for Roger, but the second two (Wimbledon and the U.S. Open) seem rather flat.
I haven’t got dates for 2017 but a brief glance at approximate dates reveals:
Australian Open 2017
Pluto trine his natal Venus, and Neptune opposite his Ascendant – both transits possibly more relevant to his personal life. Pluto helpful for helping him feel stable and strong. Neptune may produce physical difficulties or confusion. But it is good to have Pluto on side, and that may override Neptune.
French Open 2017
Jupiter sextiles his Mercury, and Neptune trines his Mars – this is a very good combination, and should take him far. Jupiter sharpens up his mental faculties, and Neptune ensures his mind and body are in harmony. Good prospects.
Wimbledon 2017
Saturn is on his Neptune, Pluto is trine his Venus, and Neptune trines his Mars – Saturn transiting his Neptune may be dampening. The other two aspects are helpful and supportive, but may not completely counteract the Saturn influence. I would have a closer look nearer the time at the balance between these three transits.
U.S. Open 2017
No major transits. Could be a wash out, or unmemorable.
The French Open 2017 looks the most clear-cut for success. It also depends on the other players’ transits.
Thanks for all your input and support this year.
Hope you have a personally fulfilling year ahead!
Adios, Amigo!
August 17th, 2015 at 4:12 pm
Dear Lana
Thanks a lot for your nice words about my English abilities. Sometimes it is frustrating how fast we forget the words we’ve learnt in school.
In a few weeks the US Open starts and I am really excited. One young talent named Belinda Bencic (10.03.1997, born in Flawil, Switzerland) is one of my favourite players at the moment. She is only eighteen years old but has already won the Toronto Master last week (has beaten Williams in three sets in the semi). So I am wondering what you predict for her? She has got so much talent that for me it is only a question of time until she is going to win one of the 4 grandslams.
August 17th, 2015 at 8:55 pm
Dear Pitsch
Good to hear from you.
Glad you have discovered a new talent!
Belinda has a triple conjunction of Sun/Mercury/Venus in the super-talented sign of Pisces, so may be a genius in her field.
She also has the “Inner Entrepreneur” conjunction of Jupiter and Uranus in Aquarius. Applied to tennis, she is capable of exploiting opportunities and operating at speed, partly to do with speed of thought. She also has the Warrior Archetype (exact conjunction of Mars and North Node) linked with her karmic mission. Added to this, Mars/North Node exactly trine Neptune gives her physical sensitivity and subtlety in manoeuvre. Her judgement is quite balanced (Jupiter sextile Saturn), which is useful, and she has great strength (Saturn sextile exactly Uranus).
Her transits at the moment show a trine from Mars to her natal Pluto (an impressive show of force). A week ago Mars was sextile her Mars, so she has been showing her strength. At the beginning of the U.S. Open Saturn will be sextile her natal Neptune, so she will be showing the complexity of her talent as a Piscean, and possibly maturity as a player. At the end, Saturn will be exactly sextile her natal Mars/North Node (her warrior karmic mission), so she will be very controlled and showing what she can do. She could therefore reach the final.
I will keep an eye on her, thanks for your news!
Love
Lana
September 3rd, 2015 at 6:02 pm
Dear Lana
I was thinking of you and your prediction about Bencic. Today she was crying before serving to stay in the second set and was down 0:40, triple match point. But after that she made none points in a row and won the match. You wrote that “she will show the complexity of her talent as a piscean”. I am not an astrologer but for me it is a remarkable sign that your prediction will be right. Looking forward to the next rounds.
Greetings
Philippe
September 4th, 2015 at 8:59 am
Thank you, Pitsch!
I am grateful to you for keeping us posted, and for reporting the correspondence between the astrological transit for Bencic (“At the beginning of the U.S. Open Saturn will be sextile her natal Neptune”) and what actually happened.
That is very heartening for me. I look forward to seeing her play, at Wimbledon, if not before.

Dear Pitsch
Thanks very much for your comment.
I have been away, so did not see this until it was too late!
On the way home last night we heard on the radio that Federer had a good chance, so it was sad to hear the news this morning.
This was my earlier writing about the end of the U.S. Open for Federer:
“By the end Mars trines his Neptune, which is not such a major transit but still quite constructive for his mood and psychology. He could be quietly pleased with his overall performance, but it is not a stunning end to that season.”
Have a good week,
Love
Lana
January 19th, 2017 at 7:48 am
Dear Lana
A few years ago you predicted some grand slams participations of Roger Federer. Now they are playing in Australia and Roger is back from a six month break to recover. I think this wise a wisely decision if he is planning to play another time on this level.
I do not know if he will have success but I am mightily impressed of his ambition.
Tomorrow he will play against No. 10, Tomas Berdych, September 17, 1985, 12:00 PM (unknown), born in Valašské Meziříčí (Czech Republic).
Could you tell me how his chances are for this match or for the next steps in this granslam (started 16.01.2017 10 AM AEST in Melbourne)?
Maybe if you got time and pleasure to tell us what you think about his progress generally, I would be very pleased and happy. I am still hoping that he will claim the 18th Grand Slam victory before retirement.
January 19th, 2017 at 10:17 am
Dear Pitsch
Thank you very much for your enquiry.
I have not been following the Australian tournament, but my husband tells me that Djokovic was just knocked out by an outsider and that our Dan Evans played well yesterday.
My morning Guardian newspaper reports that in yesterday’s match Roger is quoted as having said “I think my serve got me out of trouble.” Andy Murray is in the same half of the draw as Roger, so I will need to look at his prospects too. As it is quite early still in the rounds, I can’t look at too many charts at this stage!
If you were looking for what I wrote, here it is:
Australian Open 2017 beginning – Mars trine his Moon, fired up emotionally; Mars trine his Chiron, healing strength; Jupiter sextile his natal Neptune, spiritually buoyant; Jupiter conjunct his natal Pluto, strength and power; Saturn conjunct his Neptune, a little dampening of spirit, or extreme self-control; Pluto trine his Venus, very helpful and supportive. Overall, a much brighter picture. He could do well.
Australian Open 2017 end – Mars trine his North Node, fighting spirit; Jupiter still sextile his Neptune, spiritually buoyant; Uranus opposite his Neptune, some challenge and disturbance; Neptune opposite his Ascendant, confusion and physical weakness, relationship complexity; Pluto still trine Venus. Still good, but not quite as good as at the beginning.
Looking specifically at the picture with Berdych tomorrow:
Roger’s transits for 20/1/17
Some of the conditions mentioned for the start of the tournament still apply: Jupiter sextile his natal Neptune, spiritually buoyant; Jupiter conjunct his natal Pluto, strength and power; Pluto trine his Venus, very helpful and supportive. On the more adverse side, he has Chiron square his Neptune, which may sap his energies a little, and Neptune opposite his Ascendant, also a bit draining.
Tomas’ transits for 20/1/17
Mars is opposite Tomas’ Sun, so he may be at risk of injury. Saturn is trine his Venus, so in other ways he will be steady. The North Node is conjunct his Mars, so he will be in warrior mode. Mars will be trine his Saturn, strengthening his resolve.
Roger’s transits are stronger for tomorrow.
Their Synastry
Their Jupiters trine natally, so they would get on well naturally. Roger’s Mercury trines Berdych’s Uranus, so there is a certain amount of telepathy that goes on between them, psyching each other out and maybe having to shield thoughts from each other while on the court.
End of the Tournament
As already written for Roger: Jupiter still sextile his Neptune, spiritually buoyant; Uranus opposite his Neptune, some challenge and disturbance; Neptune opposite his Ascendant, confusion and physical weakness, relationship complexity; Pluto still trine Venus. Still good, but not quite as good as at the beginning.
For Tomas: Saturn squares his Sun, possible disappointment; Saturn trines his Venus, so he is fairly stable. North Node still on his Mars, still dealing with a warrior issue. Chiron trines his Saturn, so he is having some healing; Mars squares his Neptune, so in some ways he is vulnerable.
Again, I would say Roger’s transits are better for the end of the tournament.
Andy Murray at the end of the tournament
Uranus trines his Moon, could pull off a surprise win; Nodal Axis square his Mercury, may be mentally rattled by something; Pluto squares his Jupiter, a power struggle. Could reach the final but may not win.
To conclude, I don’t think Berdych will be in the final; I think Andy could be, though may not win; I would not rule out Roger being in the final, and his transits at the end, though not as good as at the beginning, are a little better than Andy’s. But I don’t know at this stage who else will be coming up in the ranks. Feel free to ask me to look at the situation later, if Roger is still in the tournament!
It is difficult to look at his situation at retirement, as I am not sure when that will be…

Today Federer plays against Wawrinka in the semi. I am really nervous to see what will happen. What do you think? Who is astrological in advantage?

You posted your comment under 3 July 2016, and I replied! I am glad Federer got through.

Thank you for your enquiries, and I will be back as soon as possible!

January 26th, 2017 at 9:19 am
Dear Pitsch
I see they have already started, and are level pegging at present. As you know, Stan Wawrinka is capable of beating Roger.
In their chemistry, Roger’s Jupiter is opposite Stan’s Sun, so Roger can bring out the best in Stan. Also Stan’s Uranus is square Roger’s Venus, so he can surprise Roger.
Today, Jupiter is still sextile Roger’s Neptune (spiritually buoyant), Neptune is still opposite his Ascendant (a bit draining) , and Pluto is still trine his Venus (very helpful and supportive).
For Stan, Mars is trine his Saturn (giving him strength), Jupiter is trine his Moon, Saturn is opposite his Moon, Neptune is sextile his Mars, Neptune is trine his Ascendant, and Pluto is square his Mercury/Venus. Thus his aspects are mixed, and he may fluctuate throughout the match.
At the end of the tournament, he still has Jupiter trine his Moon, and Pluto square his Mercury/Venus.
I think Roger has the edge, aspect-wise. Good luck!
I will post this also on the 2016 blog, and hope you find it!

Dear Pitsch
What finals this year in the Australian Open! Williams vs Williams and Federer vs Nadal, amazing.
I am pleased for Nadal that he has recovered his form – it has been a while since I have been called upon to look at his chart.
He won’t be quite as fresh as Roger, having had a 5 set match yesterday.
In their synastry (chemistry) they have quite a lot of connection, and some of it benefits Nadal and some of it benefits Roger, so they are equally matched in a way.
For tomorrow’s final, Jupiter squares Nadal’s Mars, so he will be energetic and a keen player. His Uranus trines his Uranus, so he has the power of surprise with him, but it is already a surprise that he is in the final.
As already written for Roger: Jupiter still sextile his Neptune, spiritually buoyant; Uranus opposite his Neptune, some challenge and disturbance; Neptune opposite his Ascendant, confusion and physical weakness, relationship complexity; Pluto still trine Venus. Still good, but not quite as good as at the beginning.
I think Roger has enough going for him to win, but it should be a good match, full of surprises.

What a victory. I like to thank you for your prediction.
I am happy to hear you soon on wimbledon. But first there is the french open (starting on the 28.05.2017 and the final is on the 11.06.2017) and I remember that you’ve predicted that this tournament will be fabulous for Roger too.

Philippe
February 10th, 2017 at 12:04 pm
Thanks very much, Pitsch. It did prove to be a close match, and full of surprises (or ups and downs).
I was pleased for Roger, and also pleased that I correctly saw through his progress and overall win at the Australian Open, so thanks for prompting my researches.
You have a good memory!
“I wrote last summer:
Australian Open 2017
Pluto trine his natal Venus, and Neptune opposite his Ascendant – both transits possibly more relevant to his personal life. Pluto helpful for helping him feel stable and strong. Neptune may produce physical difficulties or confusion. But it is good to have Pluto on side, and that may override Neptune.
French Open 2017
Jupiter sextiles his Mercury, and Neptune trines his Mars – this is a very good combination, and should take him far. Jupiter sharpens up his mental faculties, and Neptune ensures his mind and body are in harmony. Good prospects.
Wimbledon 2017

The other two aspects are helpful and supportive, but may not completely counteract the Saturn influence. I would have a closer look nearer the time at the balance between these three transits.
U.S. Open 2017
No major transits. Could be a wash out, or unmemorable.
The French Open 2017 looks the most clear-cut for success. It also depends on the other players’ transits.”
I have checked the dates I was working with for the French Open, and they were the right ones, so I won’t add anything more for the moment. As I said, it depends on the other players’ transits, and how they come through the ranks, but we have a good starting point.

Dear Lana
I am back and really sad about the fact that Federer is not playing in Paris at the moment. How are you? Do you watch tennis these days too or do you wait a couple of weeks until Wimbledon?
I support the only „unknown” Dominic Thiem (born in Vienna, 3.9.93, 1:26 am) who play against Nadal on Thursday (9.6.17 11am or 3pm). How do you see his chances?
Your insights are very appreciated!
June 8th, 2017 at 7:22 am
Thank you, Pitsch!
I will be back as soon as I can research this, which I hope won’t be too late for you.
Love
Lana
June 8th, 2017 at 10:43 am
Good to hear from you, Pitsch
I understand that Roger is resting before Wimbledon? Hopefully it is the right thing for him.
I am fine thanks, and hope you are too.
I often see the final of the French Open, but otherwise save my viewing for Wimbledon!
Dominic Thiem has an interesting chart. Thank you for his birth time – it is so good to have a birth time.
He has Sun in Virgo (known as a humble personality) and Moon in Aries (aggressive baseline player), with Ascendant in Cancer (probably very patriotic).
Uranus and Neptune are exactly conjunct in Capricorn opposite the Ascendant, early in 7th House. He has the ability to bamboozle an opponent – what made Djokovic give up so easily in the last match, I wonder?
He has Mars conjunct closely Jupiter, great energy and enthusiasm, in Libra in 3rd House. Mars squares Uranus/Neptune – creating complex electrical energy.
With Uranus/Neptune sextile exactly Midheaven (Careerpoint), he could have a brilliant career!
In his synastry with Nadal, and he has beaten him, Rafael’s Moon is trine Dominic’s Chiron, Rafael’s Mercury is trine Saturn, Rafael’s Venus is sextile Dominic’s Mercury, Rafael’s Venus squares Dominic’s Jupiter, Rafael’s Venus is on Dominic’s Ascendant, and Rafael’s Mars is sextile Pluto. Dominic has some dominance over Rafael generally, therefore.
For today (and I am not sure about the time of the match) the transits for Dominic are:-
Jupiter on his Mars – excellent for success in sport
Saturn sextile his natal Saturn – steadiness
Neptune opposite his Mercury – some mental confusion
Pluto on his Uranus/Neptune – some surprise, or shock, an opportunity for growth
Pluto sextile his Midheaven – support and strength from the Universe for his career path
The transits for Rafael are:-
Mars sextile his Midheaven – energy in his career
Jupiter trine his natal Sun – personal success and luck
Uranus sextile his Mercury – quick thinking
Uranus on his North Node – the element of the unexpected works in his favour karmically
Neptune square his Chiron – there may be some background drain on his energy or health
To conclude, they are pretty well matched. Perhaps Nadal has the edge though.
I look forward to watching Dominic playing at Wimbledon, and who knows at the final in Paris?
Take care,
Love
Lana
June 8th, 2017 at 12:27 pm
Dear Lana
Thank you very much for your quick answer but I wrote a big mistake. The semifinal takes place tomorrow 3:30 pm. The date was correct (9.6.17).
Is that changing everything?
Djokovic was quite weak and he has some motivation problems in the last months.
June 8th, 2017 at 2:12 pm
Interesting, Pitsch
That made me take a closer look.
The transit of Jupiter on Dominic’s Mars (sporting success) takes place at the beginning of Wimbledon which is late this year (3rd July), so he will make a very good start there. Some of the planets are retrograding away from their positions, so the effect will be weaker than I found at first glance. Pluto conjuncts his Uranus/Neptune conjunction between the French Open and Wimbledon, so it could be an important time for him personally (I don’t know if he is due to take part at Queens). But he has a Jupiter Return close to the Wimbledon Final, which if he stays the course of that tournament could spell great success. The Return takes place 19/20th July, and Wimbledon ends on 16th.
For Rafael, the Jupiter trine his Sun has effectively passed, so may be of weaker effect. The square of Neptune to his Chiron is for the future, as Neptune goes retrograde next week before it reaches his Chiron. The karmic surprise of Uranus to his North Node peaks 17/18th June, a week after the French Open ends. Queens takes place 19th June to 25th June. I have found confirmation that he intends to play there, so he should make an impact at the start of that tournament. I don’t think Dominic is playing there.
So the strongest transit during the final couple of days at the French Open for Dominic Thiem is Jupiter approaching his Mars, and the strongest transit for Rafael is Uranus approaching his North Node. I think that still gives Rafael Nadal the edge (plus he has a special relationship with the French Open). But it is close, and I think Thiem could do even better at Wimbledon than he does at Roland-Garros.
Thanks for the extra insight into Djokovic.
Love

Dear Lana
You were absolutely right with your opinion. The final participants are Nadal and Wawrinka. Would you mind if I would ask you to have a look at the final too? I am wondering if Wawrinka has any chance. He is, like I am, from switzerland. So it is clear for who I will support 🙂
June 11th, 2017 at 10:25 am
Thank you, Pitsch
I like Stan Wawrinka, too.
I believe the final is at 2 pm today.
In the Synastry between Wawrinka and Nadal: Stan’s North Node sextiles Rafael’s Jupiter, Stan’s South Node conjuncts Rafael Ascendant, so lots of karma between them.
The Transits for Stan are:- Pluto square his natal Venus peaking at the end of Wimbledon; Nodal Axis exactly square his Saturn, peaking now; Mars opp his Neptune, just peaked; and Mars trine his natal Pluto, peaking around now. He is looking to discharge a great deal of energy today, and might just do it. He has had to overcome a lot in the last few days to get here (notably his 5 set match against Andy Murray). His energy is powerful and focussed today.
Rafael transits: the strongest transit for Rafael is Uranus approaching his North Node. The trine of Jupiter to his Sun is weakening. Even bearing in mind his affinity for Roland Garros, I think Stan could beat him.

No problem. I thought that this will happen. For me Thiem or Roger will win Wimbledon but I am excited to read what you think.
