The French Open tennis is already underway. I typically go away on retreat through the Mercury retrograde section and didn’t get again till the event had began. I arrived house to search out there was a problem with my web site/internet hosting and it solely received mounted at this time – thanks Mercury retrograde!
I do know a couple of of you may have been including feedback on different pages on the web site however hopefully the important thing astrological interpretations can now be in a single place.
Event Chart
Let’s leap in with the astrology of the event chart – see picture above. A Leo Ascendant signifies that the Solar in Gemini is the chart ruler heading for a optimistic sextile side with fortunate Jupiter in Aries.
Jupiter transits are all the time excellent news for gamers and this mix does give a nod in the direction of the favorite. Djokovic was the winner of the French Open 2021 as he knocked out the French Open file holder Nadal within the semi-finals and Tsitsipas within the ultimate.
Pretty Venus can also be in Aries on the Aries Midheaven. The ruler of the Midheaven Mars is true on the finish of the zodiac in Pisces and about to start out a brand new cycle and make a strong conjunction with Jupiter in Aries on Could twenty ninth.
The Moon is all the time essential to contemplate in these charts and is conjunct Saturn in Aquarius. Nonetheless, the Moon is void after all and makes no different planetary elements earlier than leaving Aquarius. Custom states that ‘nothing new will come of it’, one other nod in the direction of final yr’s winner Djokovic doing properly.
Two different factors to notice – Mercury is retrograde all through the event and solely turns direct on June third at 26 Taurus. Does this imply that one thing hidden will come to mild in the direction of the top of the event? (observe to self – it may be price wanting again at earlier tournaments with Mercury retrograde to see if a sample emerges.)
Additionally, Saturn hardly strikes all through the event because it turns retrograde on June 4th, the day of the ultimate. This might not be vital because it switches path after the event finishes. But, anybody having a Saturn transit might really feel the burden of Saturn extra intensely than common.
Prime 6 Seeds
Carlos Alcaraz (6) b. Could 5, 2003, time unknown, El Palmar, Spain – Solar Taurus
I’m beginning with the whizkid Carlos Alcaraz. He beat Nadal, Djokovic and Zverev on the Madrid Open on Could eighth – an astonishing achievement for somebody so younger. The numerous astrology was Uranus immediately on his Solar at 14 Taurus. As we now have seen previously, Uranus transits, particularly by conjunction, might be spectacular – the shock ingredient.
Solely 19 years of age, he was the key speak going into the French Open which inserts his Venus at 16 Aries on the Midheaven of the event chart. However can he win? As I’ve been scripting this weblog, Alcaraz has simply come again from a near-inevitable defeat. On the point of going out, he’s now within the third spherical.
Alcaraz is born on a Solar/Mercury conjunction in Taurus and we frequently see Mercury or Gemini elements robust in tennis gamers. There’s no time of beginning for him so we don’t have all the knowledge we have to dig deeper.
Nonetheless, there are a couple of bizarre synchronicities to contemplate. Firstly, the Ascendant within the event chart is 7 Leo and the Moon within the ultimate chart – see beneath – is 9 Leo and Alcaraz’s Jupiter is 9 Leo.
Additionally, Mercury retrograde is at 0 Gemini because the event begins precisely conjunct Alcaraz’ north node at 0 Gemini. That doesn’t really feel like a win for me however he’s actually going to get observed throughout this event if nothing else. I think there are going to be lots of people speaking about him.
Novak Djokovic (1) b. Could 22, 1987, 11:25 pm, Belgrade, Yugoslavia – Solar Gemini
Djokovic was lacking on the Australian Open 2022 – the large story of the event. In 2021, Djokovic gained two of the 4 Grand Slams however Nadal’s win on the Australian Open 2022 took Nadal’s Grand Slam tally to 21, one above Djokovic & Federer on 20 every. Djokovic is closing in.
You’ve received to love Djokovic’ astrology this event & this yr. That’s as a result of it’s his Jupiter Return yr. His Jupiter is at 18 Aries 56, nearly precisely conjunct the Midheaven – success level – of the event chart.
Plus, Djokovic’ Moon is at 5 Aries and fortunate Jupiter will probably be precisely conjunct his Moon on June thirteenth, closing in all through the event. Motion planet Mars has now joined Jupiter in Aries and also will be activating Djokovic’ Moon and north node in Aries. The event began on his birthday too.
There’s one main development that’s precise on Could thirty first – Venus progressed reverse Saturn – however that could be extra about what’s occurring at house reasonably than on the court docket. With changeable Uranus additionally on the base of his astrology chart, there’s probably some pressure in his private life however it can take rather a lot to steer him off track.
Rafael Nadal (5) b. June 3, 1986, 7:10 pm, Manacor, Spain – Solar Gemini
Nadal is one yr older than Djokovic. His natal Jupiter is in Pisces which is the place it was when he gained the Australian Open earlier this yr. There’s not rather a lot singing astrologically in his chart in the meanwhile so it must be sheer self-discipline to see him by means of to a win right here.
And, his persistent foot situation did flare up once more solely a few weeks in the past in order that Mercury retrograde could also be doing him no favours. Nadal’s natal Mercury is in Gemini the place Mercury is at the moment in retreat.
Daniil Medvedev (2) b. February 11 1996, time unknown, Moscow, Russia – Solar Aquarius
Medvedev gained the US Open 2021 when Jupiter was in Aquarius and sitting properly between his Solar/Mars Aquarius. One other participant with no time of beginning, Medvedev does have Venus at 2 Aries and being triggered by Jupiter at 2 Aries because the event begins. Whether or not that is linked to his profession, we are able to’t ensure and not using a time of beginning but it surely’s a fortunate affect nonetheless.
Alexander Zverev (3) b. April 20, 1997, 3:00 am, Hamburg, Germany – Solar Aries
Alexander Zverev is born on the cusp of Aries/Taurus however he does typically put on an Aries glyph on a series. The sooner of two potential beginning occasions suggests he’s born beneath the signal of the Ram. He may also be fairly fiery on court docket.
Jupiter in Aries is more likely to be excellent news for him, though it’s extra more likely to kick in subsequent yr when he can have Jupiter precisely conjunct his Solar Aries. He was born with Mercury retrograde and the predominance of Aries planets might do him no hurt.
If his time of beginning is appropriate, the eclipses in November 2021 & Could 2022 have been hitting the foundations of his chart which might coincide with dramas, highs and lows.
Stefanos Tsitsipas (4) b. August 12, 1998, 12:35 pm, Athens, Greece – Solar Leo
Tsitsipas is a Solar Leo like Roger Federer. He has a couple of good connections to the event chart. His natal Jupiter is at 27 Pisces triggered by Mars at 28 Pisces. His Moon is at 17 Aries on the Midheaven of the event chart.
Additionally, Jupiter will probably be getting nearer to a optimistic trine side along with his natal Midheaven at 5 Leo because the event progresses. In any other case, nothing main to shout about and he does have a difficult Pluto transit to his natal Venus, probably about love or cash reasonably than tennis.
Who Will Win?
Djokovic is the one to beat.
