Wimbledon 2025 – Week 2

Well we lost a lot of top seeds last week: …Coco Gauff, Alexander Zverev among them!  The top seeds, Alyna Sabalenka and Jannik Sinner look unassailable. Aryna got through the hostility of the crowd towards her by imagining they were cheering for her instead of Emma Raducanu.  Sinner has not dropped a set.

Here are the next four Women’s and Men’s Seeds:

Women’s Seeds

No. 7 – Mirra Andreeva

Russian, born in 2007, she is one of the youngest players.  She has the Sun in Taurus and the Moon in Libra, so is very Venusian. We do not have her birth time, and it seems her Moon may possibly be unaspected, which could mean she can detach her emotions.  But her Mercury trine Pluto indicates a deep thinker.  Her ruling planet Venus is heavily aspected and accented, and exactly trines Neptune, which means she is artistically gifted and could make for some artistic tennis shots.  She has Mars closely square Jupiter (energy allied with enthusiasm), Mars exactly conjunct Uranus (electrical energy with the power of surprise) and Mars conjunct the North Node (Warrior karmic mission, with Uranus – showing up the Activist Archetype).  In addition, she has Jupiter exactly trine Saturn – excellent judgement: her cup is neither too full nor empty – a sense of realism, good for decision-making and weighing things up.  Jupiter closely square Uranus equals The Chancer Archetype, so she doesn’t mind taking a risk.

Her transits Mid-Wimbledon are lacklustre, but something has got her through to here.  If she manages to slip through the radar, her transits for the end of Wimbledon show Jupiter in sextile with her natal Sun, an excellent sign.

No. 8 – Iga Swiatek

I wrote in 2021:

“Swiatek hails from Poland, and has an unusual Element pattern in her chart: 7 planets in Air (Intellect), 0 in Earth and 0 in Water.  With Sun in the adaptable sign of Gemini, she also has 6 planets in Mutable (adaptable) signs – and by all accounts she likes to bring variety into her game.  Her Sun is conjunct Saturn, and so she also has an element of caution and planning in her game; apparently she “constructs points carefully”.

Since I wrote that, her birth time has come to light.  This reveals: an Ascendant of Gemini clothed by a conjunction of the Sun and Saturn.  This means her personality is focussed by her carefully constructed planning.

She says “the ball listens to her”, which is an intriguing phrase.  She also revealed in her interview after the last match that she “has a busy mind”: plenty of evidence for that in her chart with double Gemini (Sun and Ascendant), Mercury in Gemini (monkey mind) plus Saturn and Jupiter also in Gemini.

Her transits Mid- Wimbledon show:

Pluto is on her Midheaven in Aquarius in her 8th House and has been in the first week.  Pluto is powerful, if it is on your side, or if you have mastery of it.  Chiron trines her exact natal Chiron/Mars conjunction in her 7th House, so she has her healing act together, for her own personal wounds.  Jupiter is close to her North Node in 1st House.  Remarkable transits!

End of Wimbledon transits for her:

She still has Chiron trine her exact natal Chiron/Mars conjunction in her 7th House; Pluto is still on her Midheaven in Aquarius in her 8th House, though on the wane as it is Retrograde; Jupiter extremely close to exactly conjunct her North Node in 1st House; but Mars squares her Pluto: a danger point around 11/12th  (the Friday/Saturday) July mark, around the semi-finals perhaps, or even at the final itself.  Maybe that means getting to the final but not quite achieving the win.  But she has the best transits so far, that I have seen.  Maybe she can beat Sabalenko, if anyone can.

No. 9 – Emma Navarro

Emma was born 13 days before Iga Swiatek in the same year, but we have no birth time.

Like Swiatek, she has the Sun conjunct Saturn (caution and planning).  Like Swiatek, she has Mars conjunct Chiron (a core wound that needs to be healed).  With the Sun square Uranus, she’s a bit of a rebel.  She has Mercury conjunct Jupiter, a fine wide-ranging mind which may be an asset in evaluating the geography of the court.  She has Mercury trine Uranus, a brilliant mind at times, with the ability to think outside the box.  Venus exactly trine Pluto means that she is not shallow in relationship.  And Jupiter opposing Pluto indicates she has a “thing” with power.

Middle of Wimbledon Transits:

Pluto is trine her natal Saturn (good, steady, powerful work); and Chiron trine her natal Chiron (like Swiatek, she has her healing act together).  Although born only nearly two weeks apart from Swiatek, her transits at the moment, while good, are not as spectacular as Swiatek’s.

End of Wimbledon Transits:

Chiron will still be trine her natal Chiron, and Jupiter will be close to her natal North Node, but not as close as for Swiatek.

All in all, a reasonable set of transits, but not as compelling as Swiatek’s.

No.13 – Amanda Anisimova

Amanda is scheduled to play this afternoon, against Noskova at 16.20 Hrs.

I wrote in 2022:

“Amanda Anisimova is a Virgo Sun sign, an unusual sign for a tennis player, but of course a sign which pays attention to detail and has perfectionistic standards.  Her focus is widened by having Jupiter closely sextile her Sun.  Mercury squares Mars, so she can get quite tense at times.  Mars sextile Uranus in her chart can produce some enthralling shots.”

For Mid-Wimbledon her transits are: 

Neptune and Saturn squaring her Nodal Axis (difficulty; but something she played through in the last week); Chiron trine her natal Mars (again, this has seen her through from the beginning of Wimbledon, but this is a supportive influence); Mars dangerously squaring her natal Pluto, which peaks on Wednesday 9th, so may get knocked out around then; Uranus trine her natal Mercury, operable from the beginning of Wimbledon, has got her thus far, gifting her an exceptionally bright mind.

At the end of Wimbledon:

Neptune and Saturn will still be square her Nodal Axis; Uranus still trines her natal Mercury; Mars squares her natal Saturn, becoming exact on 11/12th, which may indicate being knocked out at the semi-finals, or getting to the final and losing.

On the other hand, she has Jupiter approaching 2 Planets: it Sextiles her Sun on 15 July, just after Wimbledon, and she has a Jupiter Return on 23rd July, so there is personal happiness or good times following Wimbledon for her to look forward to.

So I am not putting her forward as the eventual winner: my money is on Swiatek, in the event that Sabalenka falters.

Men’s Seeds

The men’s seeds have not been decimated as badly as the women’s!

No.5 – Taylor Fritz

I wrote in 2022:

“Taylor Fritz is another maverick, like Jannik Sinner, with Uranus exactly square his Sun in  Scorpio.  His Sun is also conjunct Chiron, so he is a problem-solver, too.  He has a wide-ranging mind, with Jupiter square Mercury, and enjoys foreign travel.  Mars trine Saturn is good for precision shots, and Jupiter sextile Saturn helps balanced judgements and decision making.  There is also an entrepreneurial conjunction of Jupiter and Uranus in his chart, in the sparky sign of Aquarius, so he may be a whizz with technology.”

His Mid Wimbledon Transits show:

Taylor has Chiron square his natal Neptune (a confusing time); the Nodal Axis is square his natal conjunction of Mars and Venus, a condition earlier in the tournament which doesn’t seem to have done him any harm); Jupiter will be trine his natal Chiron around 11th July (semi-finals), so that may be his peak.

At the End of Wimbledon:

Chiron will still be squaring his Neptune; the Nodal Axis will be exactly squaring his natal Mars (possibility of injury).

I would rule Taylor out of the final, but he might make the semi-final.

No.6 – Novak Djokovic

“…For all that his tennis can seem brilliantly mechanical and his words can sound scripted, he is a genuinely emotional man.  He loves what he does, and he wants to be loved.”

~ Kevin Mitchell, in the Guardian

I wrote last week under comments:

“It is true that Djokovic has a great deal going for him transitwise. Here are his starting transits:-

Neptune sextile his natal Sun (feeling quite spiritual)
Saturn sextile his natal Sun (feeling quite controlled)
Saturn square his natal Mars (a bit hazardous, injurywise)
Jupiter square his natal Moon (emotionally quite upbeat)
Mars sextile his natal Pluto (supercharged energy)
Mars trine his natal Venus (enjoying what he is doing)
Uranus on his Sun (capable of stunning success)

I don’t think he needs much more!

At the end of Wimbledon:

Neptune still sextile his Sun
Uranus still on his Sun, but closer (bodes well)
Saturn still sextile Sun
Saturn still square his Mars
Jupiter trine his natal Pluto (successful and powerful)
Nodal Axis square his natal Chiron (the outcome depends on his karma and on healing any physical issues)

So, yes, he is a real contender! At least for reaching the final.”

No.10 – Ben Shelton

In January 2025 I wrote:

“Ben is a Libran, with a focussed and perfectionistic conjunction of Mercury and Mars in Virgo.  Jupiter is currently on his natal North Node, bringing him karmic reward for past efforts.”

Mid Wimbledon he has:

Mars squaring his Nodal Axis (possibility of injury)

At the End of Wimbledon:

Mars square his natal Venus (a comparatively minor transit, but supportive of elegant moves);

And Mars square his natal Pluto (dangerous!), becoming exact at the final, if he gets there.

That’s a very meagre set of transits, so I don’t think he is going to nail it.

No.11 – Alex de Minaur

For Alex, I first wrote in 2020:

“De Minaur is an Aquarian, with the speed and agility of a close trine between Mercury and Mars, and the unpredictability of Mars square Uranus.  He has no Earth planets, which may make him ungrounded at times”.

He is engaged to Katie Boulter.  As Aquarius and Leo, they are opposite signs and can complement each other.  They both have Moon in Pisces, a common sympathy. His Mercury is sextile with her Jupiter, so they have good communication.  His Pluto is trine her Sun, so not a superficial relationship.  Good luck to them!

Meanwhile…at Mid-Wimbledon Alex has:

Pluto sextile his natal Chiron (a deep sense of certainty)

Uranus is sextile his natal Jupiter (a sign of Success)

Saturn/Neptune sextile his natal Neptune; Saturn/Neptune trine his natal Chiron – it’s looking good!  The current Saturn/Neptune conjunction is giving some people grief, but is actually benefitting  Alex de Minaur.

In addition, Jupiter is applying to a trine to his natal Mars, which perfects on Finals Day!

Mars was square his natal Pluto yesterday, a point of danger, but he got through.

At the End of Wimbledon:

Pluto will still be sextile his natal Chiron; Saturn/Neptune will still be sextile his natal Neptune and trine his natal Chiron; Uranus will still be sextile his natal Jupiter; and as mentioned, Jupiter will be trine his natal Mars, to the day.

You couldn’t wish for better transits, but does the astrology tell you everything you need to know…?

Therefore, my two tips from these eight are Swiantek and De Minaur.  Not necessarily the most obvious choices, but what is the point of going for the obvious?

There are still some exciting players left in the draw that I haven’t yet looked at, and I may get the chance to do so during the course of the week.  Keep the comments coming!

Aspects

At breakfast-time this morning Venus was sextile Saturn, which is a constructive aspect, a re-affirmation of where you are going, especially in terms of relationship, or art.  In the realm of human relations, it is about steadiness and loyalty: cementing commitment.

That is followed this afternoon by Venus sextile Neptune, which can bring soothing waves of serenity, which hopefully you may build on from the earlier aspect.  People may become more into tune with each other.  New artistic avenues may flourish.

Tomorrow (Monday 7th) is the main event of the week: the entry of Uranus into Gemini.  It’s a new era (step 5 in this year’s changes), bringing innovation in thought, which can be initially perplexing.  Uranus spends 7 years in one sign.  Science and technology are going to advance exponentially…we are of course seeing it in the explosion of Artificial Intelligence.  If you have planets at the beginning of Gemini you will be especially affected over the course of the next year, but it can bring some surprise revelations and talents to the fore in your life and personality.  You’ll need to be on your mettle if you are a cautious type, but roll with the punches if you are a person that embraces change.

There is a trine between Venus and Pluto as well on that day. It is a profound but likely successful trine between Venus and Pluto.  This aspect can settle your deepest feelings into a more comfortable psychological context.  It helps us through changes and transformations on a human level.  Venus in harmony with Pluto benefits both love and money.

Thursday (10th) brings a Full Moon at 18 degrees Capricorn.  This Moon represents the pull between authority and individual needs.  If you feel that part of your frustration is coming from the power wielded by authorities, then this may be your Full Moon issue.  Many people are feeling angry and frustrated by the current political climate, and may need to focus on what they can do for themselves at this point in time.

The week in bullet points:

  • Today – loyalty and serenity
  • Monday – a new era, very sparky! And deep feelings
  • Thursday – emotional high tide
