Jamaica’s exuberant and crowd-adoring Usain Bolt became the first athlete to win three Olympic 100m titles by beating American Justin Gatlin, repeating his 2008 and 2012 successes.
He’s a flamboyant Leo, who according to his father hates to lose; with an adventurous Jupiter (Moon) in Pisces square Uranus.
He’s got a wide-ish Fire Grand Trine from his Sun trine North Node in Aries trine Uranus, with Mercury also in Leo and Saturn in Sagittarius – so overflowing with inspirational, confident and demanding-of-attention fire energy.
And the Somalian-born, Mo Farah, became the first British track and field athlete to secure three Olympic golds by winning the 10,000 metres, repeating his 2012 success where he also won the 5000 metres.
He’s a Sun Aries trine a lucky Uranus Jupiter in Sagittarius; with Neptune also in Sagittarius and Mars in Aries opposition Pluto – so not short on Fire either.
What’s intriguing .is that both have their Mars/Jupiter midpoint in mid Aquarius, which is very much a top athlete’s placing. Mo Farah also has his Sun/Neptune and Mars/Uranus there as well.
Bolt has his Sun trine Neptune; while Farah’s Sun squares Neptune; and both have Jupiter Uranus highlighted. How to grow a perfect athlete. Farah’s Mars opposition Pluto is perhaps a testimony to the brutal training conditions he has to undergo for distance races as well as the mental stamina required, over and above the norm for top class sportspeople.
