The rain stopped play yesterday for all but a handful of matches at Wimbledon yesterday.\u00a0 What a difference a week makes!\u00a0 I had my annual strawberries last week, but it doesn\u2019t seem right to eat them in this grey weather, and while Wimbledon is at a hiatus.\u00a0 Hopefully the Sun will be out again tomorrow, and play will resume.\u00a0 Certainly the schedules are now lagging behind.\u00a0 Here are 8 more tennis charts to ponder:<\/p>\n
Stan Wawrinka<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n With Mercury exactly conjunct Venus and the pair trine exactly Uranus in his natal chart, Wawrinka would have considerable talent for writing and broadcasting, maybe later in life.\u00a0 Mercury trine exactly \u00a0Uranus makes him fleet of mind and foot.\u00a0 He also has Mars exactly square Jupiter, which gives him a great deal of energy and enthusiasm, a strong \u201cbounce\u201d.\u00a0 As we approach the midpoint of Wimbledon, Mars opposes his Mercury-Venus conjunction, so he may slip or sustain an injury, but at the same time Mars sextiles his Uranus, which should sustain him through the tournament.\u00a0 By the end of Wimbledon Jupiter trines his Saturn, so he could have staying power, and may make the final.<\/p>\n Maria Sharapova<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Maria Sharapova won the French Open tournament, despite transits putting her under pressure from Mars.\u00a0 She had Neptune sextile her natal Neptune, which brings spiritual poise. As we come up to the midpoint of the tournament, Jupiter adds brightness to her prospects by providing a trine to her natal Venus.\u00a0\u00a0 By the end of Wimbledon Mars will be sextile her Saturn, which should work well for her as she was not bothered by a difficult Mars transit in the French Open final.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0She is due to meet Kvitova in the next round.\u00a0 They are well matched, and whoever wins that match could go on to win the tournament.<\/p>\n Jo-Wilfried Tsonga<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n In 2012 I wrote:<\/p>\n \u201cTsonga is a tough opponent, and may well endure to the final.\u00a0 Natally he has an opposition between his Mars and Saturn which runs in conjunction with his North Node and South Node axis.\u00a0 Like Djokovic, Murray and Bhagdatis he was born in 1985!\u00a0 A good vintage year for tennis players.<\/p>\n Jupiter is currently trine his natal Saturn, sustaining him in the tournament.\u00a0 It squares his Sun by the end of the tournament, so he could overreach himself in the meantime.\u00a0 Good spirits, but perhaps more overshooting or inaccuracy than usual.<\/p>\n Petra Kvitova<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Petra Kvitova is upbeat at the moment, and just beat Venus Williams to a place in the second week of Wimbledon.\u00a0 She has a good set of transits at the moment.\u00a0 Saturn is trine her Sun, which is very steadying.\u00a0 Chiron is on her natal Sun, which is healing.\u00a0 Neptune is on her natal Mercury, which can be insiring.\u00a0 And Chiron is trine her Pluto. Which is very profound.\u00a0 The latter aspect highlights the sheer strength of her natal Sun-Pluto exact trine.\u00a0 The only fly in the ointment is Saturn on her natal Pluto, but I think she is handling that.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 All these transits remain with her until the end of Wimbledon, and are joined by an opposition of Jupiter to her Mars, which may just be enthusiasm about winning Wimbledon.\u00a0 She is a definite contender for the title.<\/p>\n Milos Raonic<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Milos has 5 planets plus the North Node in the sign of Capricorn- a steadfast line up for a tennis player.\u00a0 His Venus is exactly trine Pluto, giving him a strong presence on and off the cour.\u00a0 Mars trines his North Node closely, so it is important for him to attain and sustain a peak fitness.\u00a0 His serve is highly praised in the tennis world, and that may be a product of his Mars-North Node trine.\u00a0 Jupiter transiting his natal\u00a0 Chiron has been a feature of getting to this stage.\u00a0 Transits for the beginning of week two do not look so promising, with a square from Mars to his Venus.\u00a0 But if he can get over that hurdle, he has Jupiter sextile his natal Mars at the end of Wimbledon (all power to his health, fitness and energy) and Jupiter also transits his South Node )a re-match from past lives!).\u00a0 His chances are fair, I would say.<\/p>\n Angelique Kerber<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Angelique Kerber beat Victoria Azarenka\u00a0 at the end of last week to gain a place in the second week of Wimbledon. Like Milos Raonic, she is a steadfast Capricorn Sun sign (and Moon sign too). \u00a0She does not have an easy chart, and may have inner struggles, with Saturn conjunct Uranus both opposing Chiron.\u00a0 Her sporting prowess may be down to Mars in Sagittarius plus Jupiter sextile her Chiron.\u00a0 She also has the Sun sextile her North Node, giving her leadership qualities.\u00a0 Pluto is sextile her natal Pluto at the moment, which means she is coming into her power at this time.\u00a0 By the end of Wimbledon, Jupiter will also oppose her Sun, so she will be happy to have\u00a0 reached her potential in the tournament, but I don\u2019t think that it is her time to win Wimbledon.\u00a0 I think she will be pleased with her performance and how far she reaches.<\/p>\n John Isner<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n John Isner has the Sun in determined Taurus, and Mars conjunct Gemini in fleet footed Gemini.\u00a0 That proved to be a recipe for taking part in the longest ever match at Wimbledon, agains Mahut in 2010.\u00a0 Taurus is an unusual sign for a tennis player, but it does have endurance.\u00a0 He has Venus conjunct Mercury which is good for writing and broadcasting, but not as exact as Stan Wawrinka\u2019s conjunction. His match against Lopez has been postponed during this rain-soaked patch in Wimbledon, but the delay may help him recoup, as Jupiter trines his Saturn currently. However that helpful trine has waned bu the end of the tournament, and I do not think he will go much further in the competition.\u00a0 Despite his respite he may be beaten by Lopez, who has a stronger interaspect in their relationship, and whose Jupiter is currently trined by Uranus.<\/p>\n Aliza Cornet<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Seemingly out of nowhere has come Aliza Cornet, who beat Serena Williams yesterday in the upset of the first week.\u00a0 She did apparently previously \u00a0beat her in the semi-finals at Dubai, but has surprised herself by getting into the second week round at Wimbledon.\u00a0 Who is she?\u00a0 She is an Aquarian, with a preponderance of planets in Capricorn.\u00a0 She is artistic (Sun conjunct Venus and quick thinking (Mercury conjunct Uranus).\u00a0 Much was made of her ability to vary the play (Mercury-Uranus disruption) in order to prevent Serena from staying in rhythm.\u00a0 She is playing with great depth at the moment, with Pluto transiting her Neptune.\u00a0 The North Node (karmic reward) is also sextile her Mars (athletic prowess).\u00a0 At the end of the tournament Chiron sextiles her natal Saturn, which is satisfying but not especially uplifting.<\/p>\n I will be back in a few days with an update, reviewing other tennis players and emerging figures.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The rain stopped play yesterday for all but a handful of matches at Wimbledon yesterday.\u00a0 What a difference a week makes!\u00a0 I had my annual strawberries last week, but it doesn\u2019t seem right to eat them in this grey weather, and while Wimbledon is at a hiatus.\u00a0 Hopefully the Sun will be out again tomorrow, […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_wpcom_ai_launchpad_first_post":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2987","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-wimbledon"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.lanawooster.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2987","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.lanawooster.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.lanawooster.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.lanawooster.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.lanawooster.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2987"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/blog.lanawooster.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2987\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2999,"href":"https:\/\/blog.lanawooster.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2987\/revisions\/2999"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.lanawooster.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2987"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.lanawooster.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2987"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.lanawooster.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2987"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
