Serena Williams, the greatest female tennis player of all time, winner of 23 majors, is back to play singles and doubles at Wimbledon. She reportedly disliked her Wimbledon exit four years ago and misses tennis ‘every day’ she has said.
Born 26 February 1981 8.28 pm Saginaw, MI, she has a hard-working Sun conjunct Saturn in Libra in her 6th house with super-confident Jupiter Pluto Mercury also in Libra in her 6th. Her Virgo Moon is on the cusp of her 6th and her high-vitality Mars in Leo is in her sporting 5th house.
She has Uranus and Venus in Scorpio in her 7th house of partnerships so an unconventional marriage would be a must if it was to work.
She is in a curious phase of her life – astrologically speaking – with her Solar Arc Uranus exactly square her Saturn, this year which will be high-tension, edgy and erratic. Plus tr Neptune opposition her Sun through this year, returning exactly mid August to late September, and on and off till January 2028, which can be confused, indecisive and low energy. Tr Saturn Neptune in late Pisces over last winter were opposition her Sun/Moon midpoint hinting at an internal shift making her less than satisfied with her life as wife and mother. Tr Uranus is also square her Solar Arc Midheaven through this year which certainly hints at a change in her life’s direction but not necessarily one that brings success.
Tr Jupiter won’t move into her sporting, confidence-building and sociable 5th until this September when it is conjunct her Mars. By 2027/28 her Solar Arc Saturn will conjunct her Uranus for another high tension jolt. With a setback in 2029/30 as her SA Mars is conjunct her Sun.
Her midpoints at the moment show luck and a high for a few days, plus anxiety – and exuberance after the 19th so no matter the result she may be pleased she made the effort.
Emma Radacanu, 13 November 2002, Toronto, Canada, out because of a stress fracture, has had a disjointed tennis career since an early win with multiple coach changes and injuries.
She is a determined Sun Mercury in Scorpio square Uranus in Aquarius and square Jupiter in Leo. She will be quite ego-driven and a risk-taker, as well as stubborn and at times contrary. Jupiter is also opposing her Neptune will make her overly-optimistic. Her Uranus is in an Air Grand Trine to Mars in Libra and trine Saturn in Gemini so she will tend to live in her head and with no Earth planets she may well not be grounded in her body in a helpful way. She has a confident Pluto trine her Jupiter and sextile her Uranus, maybe square a Pisces Moon.
Houses may make a difference – since Serena Williams is also short of Earth but has a jam-packed 6th which is an earth house and a Virgo Moon.
Emma is heading into a defining moment in her career in later 2027 when her Solar Arc Sun is conjunct her Pluto for a seriously stuck phase of several months; followed by a confused and undermining tr Pluto conjunct her Neptune in 2028/29. At the moment she also has a moving yod of Solar Arc Uranus inconjunct her natal Jupiter sextile Mars which will be in place for two years ahead and in orb longer than that. Such yods tend to bring times of paralysis and indecision.
