Nowadays there is an accentuation of Mercury-ruled signs Virgo and Gemini in the charts of top players, showing that they have added to the responsiveness of the first phase and the athleticism of the second phase, and learned to use the mind and cerebral faculties on top of this.\u00a0 The amazing longest match took place last week between Isner and Mahut, Isner the enduring Taurean just about winning, due no doubt to his strong serve (Mars conjunct Chiron in Gemini, possibly).\u00a0 This could have been a pre-birth contract set up, as \u00a0Mahut\u2019s Mars (energy) is exactly trine Isner\u2019s Jupiter (enthusiasm and triumph) \u2013 sort of pre-birth match-fixing (no karmic repercussions).\u00a0 At the inception of the match, the Ascendant was on Isner\u2019s Saturn, so this was a test of his endurance which he, just about, passed.\u00a0 Andy Murray could make it to the final next Sunday, when Venus will be trine his Moon, and Mars on his Ascendant, which will bring out all his fighting spirit.\u00a0 However, Mercury square his Jupiter could bring unforced errors,\u00a0 and the Ascendant square Neptune may bring unrealistic hopes surrounding him.\u00a0 Rafael Nadal has Mercury trine his Jupiter (accuracy) and Mars sextile his Venus (vitality and watchability) but I don\u2019t think these aspects are strong enough for the title.\u00a0 With the Sun conjunct the South Node, it will be Nodal, not Nadal (couldn&#8217;t resist it, sorry). \u00a0 The finals will be more than usually karmic in outcome under this aspect.\u00a0 Predictably (?) Federer has good aspects: Mercury sextile his Venus, and Venus trine his Neptune and sextile his Pluto, so he will be in the flow, and could well add to his records.\u00a0 Andy Roddick could be overwhelmed with Jupiter opposite his Mercury, but Uranus trine his Uranus could give him lucky breaks and some intuitive shots.\u00a0 Of the top two Williams sisters, surprisingly Venus has the better set of aspects.\u00a0 Stacked against Serena are Pluto square to her Sun,\u00a0 Mercury square her Jupiter,\u00a0 Sun square her Saturn,\u00a0 North node square her Saturn.\u00a0 Her game slid a little bit this week (her words).\u00a0 Can she overcome all odds?\u00a0 (Probably).\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 She will be meeting Maria Sharapova in the next round, who has Sun and North Node square her Jupiter \u2013 perhaps next year may be better for Sharapova with Jupiter transiting all her Aries planets.<strong> <\/strong>Venus Williams (aptly named with Sun conjunct Venus natally) has Pluto trine her Jupiter\u00a0 (power and luck) \u2013 this could be her year.\u00a0 Another player who may do better next year is Jelena Jankovic, who has Venus\/Mars exactly conjunct in Aries . This year Mercury trines her Mercury which is good for focus, but Neptune squares her Saturn , and Jupiter squares her Neptune, neither of which are easy.\u00a0 I am not a betting sort, but if I were to twist my arm I would go for Venus Williams and Roger Federer as 2010 champions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As I observed in my radio show with Kim Gould in March (link on my Past Lives page), tennis seems to have come in 3 clear phases astrologically.\u00a0 The first was before the mid-70s, when the Sun Signs of top players tended to be Cancerian or Libra, both genteel signs responsive to the ebb and [&hellip;]<\/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":[4,28],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-649","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","category-wimbledon"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.lanawooster.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/649","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=649"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blog.lanawooster.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/649\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2986,"href":"https:\/\/blog.lanawooster.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/649\/revisions\/2986"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.lanawooster.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=649"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.lanawooster.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=649"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.lanawooster.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=649"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
