French Open Tennis 2022

25th May 2022 By Sally Kirkman 368 Comments

French open tennis

Update: Two Geminis took the men’s & women’s singles titles – Rafa Nadal (June 3, 1986) & Iga Swiatek (May 31, 2001). The birthday boy, Djokovic (May 22, 1987) couldn’t defend last year’s win. In the end, it was Nadal who had super-human powers & seemed able to harness the fiery energies of the Mars/Jupiter conjunction in Aries that dominated during the tournament. We talked about record-breakers on this month’s Astrology Talk Podcast & Nadal has now extended his French Open wins to 14 and Grand Slam wins to 22 – epic! The tournament chart suggested the favourite would win & Djokovic’ astrology did seem promising, the no. 1 seed – hence my prediction – but you could say that Nadal is always a favourite to win at Roland Garros & Iga Swiatek was the no. 1 seed in the women’s singles. Thank you to all the astrologers who made their predictions, especially those who backed Nadal from the beginning 🙂 .

The French Open tennis is already underway. I often go away on retreat during the Mercury retrograde phase and didn’t get back until the tournament had started. I arrived home to find there was an issue with my website/hosting and it only got fixed today – thank you Mercury retrograde!

I know a few of you have been adding comments on other pages on the website but hopefully the key astrological interpretations can now be in one place.

Tournament Chart

Let’s leap in with the astrology of the tournament chart – see image above. A Leo Ascendant means that the Sun in Gemini is the chart ruler heading for a positive sextile aspect with lucky Jupiter in Aries.

Jupiter transits are always good news for players and this combination does give a nod towards the favourite. Djokovic was the winner of the French Open 2021 as he knocked out the French Open record holder Nadal in the semi-finals and Tsitsipas in the final.

Lovely Venus is also in Aries on the Aries Midheaven. The ruler of the Midheaven Mars is right at the end of the zodiac in Pisces and about to start a new cycle and make a powerful conjunction with Jupiter in Aries on May 29th.

The Moon is always important to consider in these charts and is conjunct Saturn in Aquarius. However, the Moon is void of course and makes no other planetary aspects before leaving Aquarius. Tradition states that ‘nothing new will come of it’, another nod towards last year’s winner Djokovic doing well.

Two other points to note – Mercury is retrograde throughout the tournament and only turns direct on June 3rd at 26 Taurus. Does this mean that something hidden will come to light towards the end of the tournament? (note to self – it might be worth looking back at previous tournaments with Mercury retrograde to see if a pattern emerges.)

Also, Saturn hardly moves throughout the tournament as it turns retrograde on June 4th, the day of the final. This may not be significant as it switches direction after the tournament finishes. Yet, anyone having a Saturn transit could feel the weight of Saturn more intensely than usual.

Top 6 Seeds

Carlos Alcaraz (6) b. May 5, 2003, time unknown, El Palmar, Spain – Sun Taurus

I’m starting with the whizkid Carlos Alcaraz. He beat Nadal, Djokovic and Zverev at the Madrid Open on May 8th – an astonishing achievement for someone so young. The significant astrology was Uranus directly on his Sun at 14 Taurus. As we have seen in the past, Uranus transits, especially by conjunction, can be spectacular – the surprise element.

Only 19 years of age, he was the major talk going into the French Open which fits his Venus at 16 Aries on the Midheaven of the tournament chart. But can he win? As I’ve been writing this blog, Alcaraz has just come back from a near-inevitable defeat. On the brink of going out, he’s now in the 3rd round.

Alcaraz is born on a Sun/Mercury conjunction in Taurus and we often see Mercury or Gemini factors strong in tennis players. There’s no time of birth for him so we don’t have all the information we need to dig deeper.

Mercury retrograde is at 0 Gemini as the tournament begins exactly conjunct Alcaraz’ north node at 0 Gemini. That doesn’t feel like a win for me but he’s certainly going to get noticed during this tournament if nothing else. I suspect there are going to be a lot of people talking about him.

Novak Djokovic (1) b. May 22, 1987, 11:25 pm, Belgrade, Yugoslavia – Sun Gemini

Djokovic was missing at the Australian Open 2022 – the big story of the tournament. In 2021, Djokovic won two of the four Grand Slams but Nadal’s win at the Australian Open 2022 took Nadal’s Grand Slam tally to 21, one above Djokovic & Federer on 20 each. Djokovic is closing in.

You’ve got to like Djokovic’ astrology this tournament & this year. That’s because it’s his Jupiter Return year. His Jupiter is at 18 Aries 56, almost exactly conjunct the Midheaven – success point – of the tournament chart.

Plus, Djokovic’ Moon is at 5 Aries and lucky Jupiter will be exactly conjunct his Moon on June 13th, closing in throughout the tournament. Action planet Mars has now joined Jupiter in Aries and will also be activating Djokovic’ Moon and north node in Aries. The tournament started on his birthday too.

There is one major progression that’s exact on May 31st – Venus progressed opposite Saturn – but that may be more about what’s happening at home rather than on the court. With changeable Uranus also at the base of his astrology chart, there’s likely some tension in his personal life but it will take a lot to steer him off course.

Rafael Nadal (5) b. June 3, 1986, 7:10 pm, Manacor, Spain – Sun Gemini

Nadal is one year older than Djokovic. His natal Jupiter is in Pisces which is where it was when he won the Australian Open earlier this year. There’s not a lot singing astrologically in his chart at the moment so it would have to be sheer strength of will to see him through to a win here.

And, his chronic foot condition did flare up again only a couple of weeks ago so that Mercury retrograde may be doing him no favours. Nadal’s natal Mercury is in Gemini where Mercury is currently in retreat.

Daniil Medvedev (2) b. February 11 1996, time unknown, Moscow, Russia – Sun Aquarius

Medvedev won the US Open 2021 when Jupiter was in Aquarius and sitting nicely between his Sun/Mars Aquarius. Another player with no time of birth, Medvedev does have Venus at 2 Aries and being triggered by Jupiter at 2 Aries as the tournament begins. Whether this is linked to his career, we can’t be sure without a time of birth but it’s a lucky influence nonetheless.

Alexander Zverev (3) b. April 20, 1997, 3:00 am, Hamburg, Germany – Sun Aries

Alexander Zverev is born on the cusp of Aries/Taurus but he does sometimes wear an Aries glyph on a chain. The earlier of two possible birth times suggests he’s born under the sign of the Ram. He can also be quite fiery on court.

Jupiter in Aries is likely to be good news for him, although it’s more likely to kick in next year when he will have Jupiter exactly conjunct his Sun Aries. He was born with Mercury retrograde and the predominance of Aries planets may do him no harm.

If his time of birth is correct, the eclipses in November 2021 & May 2022 have been hitting the foundations of his chart which can coincide with dramas, highs and lows.

Stefanos Tsitsipas (4) b. August 12, 1998, 12:35 pm, Athens, Greece – Sun Leo

Tsitsipas is a Sun Leo like Roger Federer. He has a few nice connections to the tournament 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 tournament chart.

Also, Jupiter will be getting closer to a positive trine aspect with his natal Midheaven at 5 Leo as the tournament progresses. Otherwise, nothing major to shout about and he does have a challenging Pluto transit to his natal Venus, possibly about love or money rather than tennis.

Who Will Win?

Djokovic is the one to beat.

    An afterthought ….
    It’s so hard not to appreciate what Nadal had accomplished in this fortnight in Paris . Even non-fans recognize and respect this incredible feat .
    In the wake of all he’d been through , how would his body hold up ?
    He was handed a very brutal draw , not mentioning his ominous foot ailment , his lack of adequate preparations , the weather conditions in Paris and the roof closed / night matches . All odds were against him . Many tennis experts and pundits had written him off . Some even said that only a miracle could make him win . A divine intervention , perhaps ?
    A strange thing happened after Nadal’s third-round match win . As he got back to his seat , a boy appeared from out of nowhere , evaded security and approached Nadal . Though stunned , as everybody was , Nadal gave him a pat on the head and a ruffle for his troubles.
    This incident struck me as something divine ? Maybe the tennis gods of Roland Garros delivered the good luck charm for Nadal through the boy . I had a feeling that the boy could be an angel .
    Now , in the culmination of the fortnight and the ensuing result , l believe that the boy was , indeed , an angel !

    Thank you to all who commented during the tournament and for the lovely comments from many of you after the tournament – it’s appreciated. Well done James Green for favouring Nadal over Djokovic – I think you were the only one to do so from the beginning? Most astrologers went for Djokovic. Will be interesting to see whether he comes back from what must be a sore defeat. And huge congrats to the double Gemini winners – Nadal & Swiatek – both favourites in different ways 🙂 I’ve written my Update at the top of the article. See you all at Wimbledon.

      Sally Thank you again for your blog on the French Open. This is a very useful for learning and improving our knowledge and predictive capabilities. This is not just about getting the prediction right and in the last 10 years you have got the eventual winner most of the time. Your analysis based on tropical zodiac was spot on as ruling planet sun in the 11th house favours the favorite and Djokovic also had some excellent astrology. I went for Nadal as as per sidereal zodiac it was bad for the favorite and the tournament chart showed an over 30 player will win. Please continue this blog for every slam as we can see the analysis of other astrologers and improve our knowledge and it also makes the tennis more interesting. Thank you and also others who had congratulated me for picking Nadal as the winner.

    Dear astrologers, honestly speaking no need to put efforts in predicting French Open champion, that much dominance Rafa has created here. The best ever to play the game of Tennis.

      Nadal is going to play Wimbledon, according to his press conference after his FO win .
      His team is exploring solutions to his foot ailment. It always depends on his body , but he is very likely to play Wimbledon that according to him is a tournament that he loves and hates to miss .

        That’s not what Rafa said. He said he’s going to have an e experimental treatment. If it works or if he can play with only anti-inflammatory medicine, he’ll play Wimbledon. But he won’t play if he has to have anesthesia injections in his foot like he had to do for this French Open.

        It’s understandable. Injection in the foot is painful as hell because of all the nerves in the foot. I had bone grow in my foot. A doctor suggested periodic injection. I declined. I chose to change my footwear instead.

    Furthermore, there are also persistent rumors that this will be the last match of his career in Paris for Nadal, and perhaps of his entire career.
    In fact, the Spaniard organized a press conference at the end of the game with a massive participation of Spanish journalists.
    So it makes me think even more that Ruud will not do much to oppose it, and probably he too knows about this desire to withdraw from his friend, with whom he regularly trains at the academy.

    The motivation behind this decision is the desire to make an announcement of some importance, and some believe that it is precisely his retirement. In that case will it be a retirement at the end of the year or immediately, that is, starting from the Parisian slam? In fact, it should be added that at the moment the former n.1 in the world is not registered in any tournament on grass, and his programming is free.

    Furthermore, to make the situation even more talked about, is the unexpected arrival of Roger Federer in Paris on Saturday 4 June. The Swiss tennis player let himself be immortalized in the lobby of the Park Hyatt Paris-Vendome hotel, one of the most popular places for tennis players and sportsmen in general.
    Federer has not been formally invited by the tournament organizers, so he is unlikely to see him in Paris as a guest of the awards ceremony; but some argue that Nadal really wanted his friend and rival on the pitch, alongside him when he made the announcement in question.

    I don’t even think about making astrological or biorhythmic predictions, because Nadal’s victory seems obvious regardless.
    But this is not in a competitive technical sense, although Ruud does not seem equipped to fight, but above all because, as many know, he grew up at the Nadal academy, and as mentioned in the post-match interview of the victorious semifinal against Cilic, Ruud feels practically in debt. with him for having “raised” him and made him grow in that sports center.
    And on the other hand he has also stated several times that his tennis idol has always been precisely nadal, from which 12 years divide him.
    In short, not exactly a “combative” statement.
    I think it will be very conditioned first by having already reached the finish line of the final, and then by not wanting to give a displeasure to his “master”.
    Obviously I hope to be proven wrong to have a worthy final, but I believe very little.

    Nadal has a good progression still in range of effect, though it is separating from exact, progressed North Node sextile Mercury. This could bring success in tennis.

    There is a minor transit that could be difficult, exact during the match. The Sun will be conjunct Nadal’s Chiron. It is interesting that James and others have said it could be a difficult match. Chiron could bring difficulty, even injury. But this is a minor transit, and I agree with James that Nadal will be the winner. We probably will not see any effect from Chiron.

    Hello everybody I had predicted in the beginning based on the tournament chart that an over 30 player will win the tournament. So unless Casper rudd has extraordinary astrology for the final (Whose birth details are not available) Nadal will win the French Open. Based on the time the final starts the 7th house is stronger meaning it is better for the challenger that is rudd as Rafa is the favorite being the higher seed. So it may not be easy for the favorite. But Rafa will win in the end.

      Just checked weather forecast. Paris will be raining all day till evening. ? So the roof will be closed. Rafa had difficulty spinning the balls when the balls got heavy when he played Zverev. Will it be as humid as yesterday? I hope not.

        This French Open is a far cry from the previous ones we used to know , weather wise.
        They used to be very hot and sunny and all blue skies .
        Rafa has to adjust his play , but we all know that these conditions , roof being closed and high humidity , can affect his play. Hence , it may not be easy for Rafa , as James has predicted .
        I’m glad that the end result , as predicted , will be the same .

    This is the forum where we get an opportunity to share our thoughts on astrological point of view. We are not supposed to discuss about right and wrong doing of the players. So please don’t comment about the players characters and their personal life especially about their parents, spouse and children.

    Rafa getting 21 at A0 rubbed salt on lot of people’s wounds. The sheer prospect of rafa trying to go for 22 has made them even more crazy. How dare he cross fed and djokovic despite missing 11 slams due to injury? That was not in the script.

    The man has earned it by sheer hard work and grit and determination. Rather than trying to grudge his achievements ,learn something from him, will help one in life a lot.

    The supposed troll is a Fed fan, just to remind him,Fed ha gone on record to say he adores Rafa and even calls him his friend now. His exact words ‘ My friend and rival ‘ Rafa…It takes a champion to recognise another. Learn something from your idol Federer

    Being a huge Rafa fan, I will be very honest here – Rafa would have lost this today had it been djoker across the net in semis – I have never seen him struggle so much on serve.. he just couldn’t hold his serve in second set until later parts of the set.. Won the first set by skin of his teeth being 2-6 down in the tie breaker.. something surely was not right today with him.. Zverev if not injured would have pushed this to atleast 4 and have lasted atleast 5 hours!

    How does the finals day look for Nadal?

      The reason Rafa struggled today was because of the humidity due to the roof being closed. He was soaked in sweat after 10 minutes and he gestured the ball was huge. The ball was picking up moisture and was very heavy.

      Let’s not say such things with authority and surety. The conditions were horrible, it was very very humid. Djoko does not like humidity either. He vomited in the 2014 final against rafa due to excess humidity.

      There is only facts and the fact is djoko was defeated in the qf and rafa was leading the match when the injury happened to zverev..This if it had gone to 4 or 5 does not count, why could it not have ended in 3 had rafa won the second?

      Agree with Sanju. There’s no ‘if’ in sports. Djokovic is out. Nadal won this match by preserving in a tough environment. The high humidity impacted him. And as James predicted, Zverev put up a strong fight. But despite all that, Nadal won the 1st set and had the momentum in the 2nd. He was problem-solving as it went.

      Maybe , the two days rest didn’t do him good . It stopped his momentum .
      It happens to a lot of players , even to Djokovic.
      Luck was on Rafa’s side today , not on Zverev’s .

      Need not be. Rafa was struggling with his serve vs. Djokovic in the quarterfinals in the 2nd set where he lost a lot of service games. But he came back in subsequent sets.

      Rafa’s ability to come back from lapses is generally pretty good.

      James couple of thoughts I was wondering to run by you from Vedic perspective:

      -I noticed when nadal beat djokovic moon was transiting over his natal mercury in the 9th house in Gemini. Nadal also is going through moon mahadasha Mercury antardasha so to me this was interesting

      -Moon remains in cancer for the semis and finals in its own sign in nadals 10th house, one would think that is a good omen for nadal given that it’s his moon mahadasha.

      Do you think there is any significance to the above here?

      There is only 1 other planetary change and that is mercury going direct and wonder what impact that has.

      Also, the tournament chart has moon conjunct Saturn in 8th house which I intuitively thought (or more like hoped I’ll be honest I’m not an astrology expert but a rafa fan with an interest in astrology) that meant an older player would take out the favorite. Mercury being retrograde in 11th house with sun felt like a repeat winner in this case only nadal meets that criteria

      Lastly, would you say moon ketu antardasha from Dec 2022 till July 2023 is when nadal calls it quits given that his going through a rahu ketu return and moon ketu here means to “let go of career” given that moon is the 10th lord

        Ds In calculating the running major period/sub period The Ayanamsa used to reduce the tropical longtitudes to sidereal longtitudes is very important. In India the most popular Ayanamsa is lahiri Ayanamsa but in my research I have found Raman Ayanamsa is the correct one. Moreover in the calculation of major periods the year duration is only 360 days and not the conventional 365 solar years we use in our calendar year. So Nadal has finished his ketu subperiod in moon dasa on 11 th April and presently running venus subperiod in moon dasa.

    The Nadal vs Zverev semifinal is going to start at 15.00 hrs Paris time. 7th degree of virgo rises and 7th degree of Gemini is MC. Meaning mercury is both the ruling planet and planet of success point. The Ascendant Lord mercury is well placed in the 9th house. The Ascendant denotes the favorite and Zverev is the favorite as he is the higher seed and this denotes he will play very well. The 7th house denoting the challenger Nadal is tenanted by its Lord Jupiter and Mars making the 7th house stronger. So my prediction is Nadal will win after a tough match.

    Hi All,
    According to Vedic Science, Astrology can be predicted for Players/ Persons who are undergoing their Physical and Mentally journey through their Past Performance and Present Form in day to day activities through their Deeds and Karma.
    But to those Players who are undergoing their Spiritual Journey, applying Probabilistic theory taking into account the movement of cosmic bodies (planets) in their astrology will be difficult/tricky to apply.
    This is because they have the extraordinary ability to offset the Pain and physical ailment if they get magnetized in achieving something which they feel they are destined to.
    Truly believe it is a Mind over body matter.
    Rafael Nadal kind of has the ability to stretch beyond the realms of natural abilities when he reaches the state of bliss/nirvana. He has demonstrated this through numerous occasions in the past 17 years considering his deformity in the growth of leg bone. Doctors has advised him in 2005 that he will not be able to pursue actively competing in professional sports right before he won his first Grand slam. But look at how well as he adopted, he has won 21 Grand slams. Time and Again, Year after Year he has got injured ( Repetitive Knee injuries, stomach ailments, back problems ) and he has found a solution to come back only through his sheer will power.
    Lets see how he will carry on in his next 2 matches if he has the will to go all the way through. Genuinely feel , there is no stopping him in winning his 22nd Grand slam, unless he gets seriously injured again during the match.

    Thanks,
    Arjun

      But please come on …
      Using these arguments for a tennis match seems to me not only senseless but also outrageous for those who deal with certain issues.
      Besides, it does not seem to me that categories such as “Spiritulity” and even Mysticism can be applied to Nadal, as he was a shaman, as you seem to say.
      He himself has never dealt with certain topics and I don’t think they have ever even touched it in the least in his interests.
      When astrological arguments and explanations are not found, it happens very often by some that you go looking for who knows what to make sense of what you cannot explain.
      But this is very wrong, because you believe in astrology as a discipline that must be interpreted, or you don’t believe in it and stop.
      Or third hypothesis, you get to be fanatical fans of a certain sportsman, and then you go to seek “beatification” …

        Hello Andreas,
        Then How come Your Predictions about Djokovic winning the French Open didn’t come true.
        You seem to have firmly placed your bet on Djokovic going all the way. If You would have looked at the match, Djokovic was bullied into submission by the sheer artistry and ground strokes by Rafa. Djokovic got the best of conditions suited to him playing a night match in cooler conditions with ball being heavy (easier for his Game of Flat shots) and ball doesn’t bounce much which doesn’t aid the heavier top spin. This would offset the heavier top-spins which is the USP of Rafael Nadal.
        So, Djokovic got the best of conditions, Had a win in Rome Masters (1000s title), No.1 Rank, best astrology and still how did it transcend into a loss. He had everything going for him. How did a miracle occur and a injured man beat a guy who is fit as a fiddle.
        There could be a counter-argument about this prediction too::
        a. With Rafa already winning the first Grandslam of the Year (Aus Open), Confidence level high.
        b. Having won 13 French Open titles where he feels at home all the time.
        c. Head-to-Head Record in Roland Garros, Rafa 8-2 against Djokovic, Grandslam record Head-to-Head stands 11-7 Rafa against Djokovic. Essentially, Rafa has Djokovic number in high-stakes contest.

        So, if You look at the win percentage of Rafa this year is at 27-3 and he stands as a firm favorite for the French Open with strong Mars Retrograde in planetary position.

        For me, Your predictions sounds senseless, baseless in picking Djokovic to win.

        Thanks,
        Arjun

          And 99% of those who write here are wrong with it.
          But surely nadal did not win because he is a “sorcerer”, simply on clay, 3 out of 5 because 2 out of 3 often lost to Djokovic, he is the strongest, there is no doubt about this.

            I was referring to the will power and how does it make a difference in achieving one’s goal when they are magnetized strongly. There are different terminologies to phrase it call it muscle memory which has evolved through past achievements/results which can strongly train a subconscious mind in achieving its goal. Ofcourse , this doesn’t limit to Rafa. It can apply to any individual .

    Any thoughts on the sf between rafa n zverev.

    Will rafa be able to get his 22 here ?

    People are saying since rafa is no 3 ,this year which adds to 6( multiple of 3) will be very good for him. Any thoughts on this ?

    Taking up Sally’s comments, I say that I completely agree with her.
    This is an astrology site, it cannot be said trivially “Nadal in Paris is the strongest even with one leg and wins anyway” etc.
    Djokovic, by all accounts, seemed to have better astrology at the moment, and I who deal with biorhythms had further confirmation of this by writing that he had absolutely better cycles than Nadal.
    Now after yesterday’s game, it seems all this doesn’t matter anymore.
    For me, the thing to highlight most is Nole’s absolutely negative attitude, and he has already seen it before playing.
    You could see that he was very tense, little inclined to smile, and this is not like him.
    The reason for this is not known, there are indeed extra tennis things, because it is inevitable that for a sportsman it can also affect private life. But even those things are eventually part of the game in the end.

    Here the proof of the 9 now comes with the subsequent games.
    If Nadal wins seeds and title, we should ask ourselves where is it that we have to read the current positive astrological inclinations, which we cannot see, beyond that he is certainly the strongest on clay.
    But if he loses, perhaps in seeds with Zverev, then all those who say now he always wins, regardless of astrology, will have to change their mind and understand that “the law” applies to everyone.

    I want to ask one of you great astrologers whether you’ll take on this forum after Wimbledon and open up a place for a debate over tennis/astrology. You don’t have to get the prediction right all the time but be willing to share the space. It will be my 10 year anniversary of tennis predictions at Wimbledon this year – I began in 2012 when Federer won – and my enthusiasm is waning. Federer was always my favourite and I’m no longer so interested who wins – I also think that plays a key part in prediction. In my experience, your intuition is stronger when you care greatly about the result! I’m also handing this competition over to the astrologers/fans on here. We have a 4 day weekend here in the UK and I’m heading off for a few days with my daughter from tomorrow. I’ll make sure the comments are being approved and will update the result at the end of the tournament. Have fun 🙂

      I was thinking the transit of Mars square Nadal’s Neptune would bring him defeat, but it was nowhere in sight. I had predicted Djokovic to win.

      If prediction were easy, astrology (and life) would be boring. But it’s always interesting to see how the stars do express.

      We do so appreciate your efforts and great predictions in tennis through the years! Have a wonderful weekend with your daughter!

    I woke up this morning to over 40 comments in my inbox so I guessed it had been a dramatic outcome for the Nadal-Djokovic match. I’ve had a quick look through the comments and I want to make a couple of points. You have to take Djokovic as the favourite for this tournament – he’s the no. 1 seed and the reigning champion – stay true to the craft of astrology. Djokovic had the better transits than Nadal – I disagree that a Jupiter transit has to be exact to be powerful and with Mars powering through Aries picking up that Jupiter in Aries, it’s even more powerful right now. I believe you have to look at transits first, progressions second but use them together. The fact that Djokovic had one major progression exact on the day of the match seems now to be significant – but we don’t know what it’s about in his life. Without a consultation, we can’t know what else is going on to perhaps affect his performance. I think what’s more interesting is why Nadal is on fire! He is such a Mars character – it’s his ruling planet in his chart. His Mars is in Capricorn and I’ve called him the gladiator in the past. He seems to be fired up by the Mars-Jupiter conjunction in Aries but it doesn’t show clearly in his astrology. And I wouldn’t be surprised if he goes on to win and break new records – moving one step further away from Djokovic’ & Federer’s tally of Grand Slam wins. Congratulations to those of you who favoured Nadal – I know the majority of astrologers did favour Djokovic over Nadal but it’s not a bad thing to be humbled by the sacred art of astrology. Working with clients a lot, I see that we don’t always take our opportunities when they are presented to us – that seems to be life. It’s rarely a run of constant wins but sometimes the timing is so perfect that we step forward and take a leap of faith. We grab our positive transits not every time but often when we are ready. Astrology is our teacher and a great source of learning and meaning in life. I’ll be writing more in a separate comment.

        Well yes, you could say that to try and make sense of the astrology but I still don’t see Nadal’s astrology as better than Djokovic’ astrology this tournament. I’d love to hear from other astrologers on here about what they see. I know some of you have written in already. We can take Djokovic’ major progression as perhaps the reason why he’s been stopped this time but what’s propelling Nadal to play so incredibly? My take on it is that Mars is so fierce at the moment and he’s Mars-ruled (Scorpio Ascendant) but you would expect to see stronger astrology if he’s to win the tournament? Unless, this is about adrenaline for him and sheer force of will – good on him if it is!

      Hi Sally If you look at the tournament chart from sidereal point of view it clearly shows the favorite not winning the tournament as Ascendant Lord moon is in 8th house with saturn. Djokovic the favorite had very good transits from the natal chart point of view but from the secondary progressed chart Nadal had better. The Ascendant of the tournament chart was exactly on Nadal’s secondary progressed mercury and mercury is Nadal’s progressed MC Lord. The MC of the tournament chart was no doubt on Djokovic’s natal Jupiter but it was in an exact trine to Nadal’s progressed Ascendant. I have found in my experience that if one player has a good transit for eg Jupiter transiting MC on his natal chart but the same Jupiter is transiting his opponents progressed MC then his opponent wins. In this context you may remember the Wimbledon19 final when Djokovic beat federer. That is why in my initial post on this blog I said I give a slight nod towards Nadal over Djokovic.

        Really interesting what you say James and very complex! I do think transits to progressed planets can be accurate by conjunction but I wouldn’t normally go so far as to consider the planets/angles of the tournament chart in a different aspect to a progressed planet. But hats off to you, it seems to have worked so far. And yes, actually I agree with you regarding the 8th house Moon/Saturn. As the Moon is separating from Saturn and void of course, I interpreted it as ‘nothing will change’ i.e. the favourite will win. Plus, the ruler of the Ascendant the Sun on Djokovic’ Sun Gemini – his birthday – seemed to give a nod towards him. And the lively Mars-Jupiter conjunction firing up his Moon Aries over the last few days! So yes, I think whatever’s happening behind the scenes may be more significant than we know. Always good to hear your perspective 🙂

    Several points:

    1. In French Open, it doesn’t matter what the ranking is. Nadal should be the favorite unless he’s injured. His winning % in Roland Garros is 97.2% (!!!!!). It’s crazy to peg him as “the challenger.” In 100 matches, he lost 2.8 matches and he’s not the favorite? Nadal has won French Open with so-so astrology before. When he’s healthy, someone would need an extraordinary astrology to beat him. It’s been that way at Roland Garros.

    2. Djokovic is not in top form as some people based their predication on. He’s not played or tested much in 2022, unlike Nadal.

    3. The point Christina made about record-breaking is still on. We’ll see.

    Did this play a part? Match was on May 31st –

    There is one major progression that’s exact on May 31st – Venus progressed opposite Saturn – but that may be more about what’s happening at home rather than on the court. With changeable Uranus also at the base of his astrology chart, there’s likely some tension in his personal life but it will take a lot to steer him off course.

    This is the French Open. If Nadal is not injured you need great astrology to beat him here. A Jupiter conjunct moon is phenomenal astrology, but as I stated earlier it was not in play for this tournament for Djokovic. Let me put it another way, have you ever felt a Jupiter ‘transit’ 2 WEEKS prior to its arrival date? (that was not turning retrograde or direct so it slowed down) I have not. It will arrive 13 days from now.
    I feel people were clutching at straws, giving what astrology was happening this month. Nadal doesn’t need great astrology to win here, just like Djokovic doesn’t need it at the Australian Open. They just can’t be up against each other when the other has the stars aligned. I think the astrology for both was average. Which means advantage Rafa on clay.

    In my article on Roland Garros, I had pointed out the good astrology of Djokovic and Nadal for this edition. I ended up leaning towards the Serbian.

    As a self-criticism, I think it was a mistake not to have taken into account the secondary progressions.

    Today I studied Djokovic’s, and I realized that he is having for these weeks Venus progressing in exact opposition to Saturn! This is a very important aspect of hardship.

    Of course I take it as learning, you always learn more from mistakes than from successes.

    On the other hand, what was anticipated with respect to Medvedev and the “hard blow” that he could receive and also the good tournament in Alcaraz but without coronation were fulfilled.

      I have read that progressions can be very important in prediction. It seems to me that an exact progression can be crucial. But nothing is infallible, so we keep searching for astrological wisdom!

      Guys, from a sidereal perspective Rafa is going through moon (10th lord) en sub period of Mercury. If we want to know how the sub period was of Mercury we can get some indications from a previous dasha (Venus-Mercury) which happened in and around 2010. That was one of Nadal’s best years where he won 3 Grand Slams. Therefore, I always had the feeling its going to be a good period for him despite some adverse transits.

        Only less than five people everywhere predict a Rafa win all the way . Most are for Djokovic’s. This maybe because of Nadal’s state of health and preparedness for this tournament .
        Even astrology favors Djokovic, not only the experts and the bettors.
        Lest we forget , this is Roland Garros , Nadal’s kingdom , so to speak . Nobody has defeated Nadal back to back in a clay event , let alone at Court Philippe Chartier.
        This has a lot of similarities of 2020 when everyone was writing off Nadal , even the conditions are similar. Hopefully , the result will be the same , too .
        According to Nadal’s couch Moya , it was the vintage Nadal that played in the last three games of set five against FAA . It was the thirteen French Open champion .
        He got his rhythm back !
        Hopefully , the vintage Nadal will show up tonight against Djokovic.
        One more thing to consider ….
        Djokovic NEVER wins the French Open every time he wins Rome .
        He won Rome two weeks ago , his sixth title there .

    Another thing.
    I see that no one, practically no one I think, mentions the ascendant of transit in the calculation of transits.
    I say that it takes on a lot of importance, like the Moon, in drawing up daily forecasts.
    It moves about 12 degrees per hour, so it is clear that it can affect the “moods” and performance of the athletes during the match.
    I would like to hear your opinion.

    I see that there is a tendency in many to use astrology, or even alternative tools such as biorhythms, to use them in an “absolute” way, that is, to read situations as a certain parameter of who can win or lose.
    This in my opinion, but I am more than sure and therefore for me it is obvious, it is wrong.
    Astrology or other types of predictions do not decide anything, but only indicate the personal situation at a given moment of the people, in this case of tennis but it obviously applies in all cases.
    So, as Horacius below asked me, how is it possible that Aliassime lost even though he had much better biorhythms than Nadal?
    The answer is simple: nadal won because he is much stronger than Aliassime, although he was certainly not in the best of form, and we saw him well, while the other was close to being so.
    And in fact nadal had to work tremendously to bring the meeting home.

    Therefore the evaluations of uncertainty are justified only when two athletes are distant in the potential of each.
    Tonight in Paris, on the other hand, two champions who we know have very similar potential in terms of value face each other.
    According to what can be seen from the biorhythms, Djokovic today is clearly superior to nadal, and therefore he should win and perhaps quite easily.
    And even the astrological predictions seem to have this reading from most of the users who write here.

    Obviously nothing is taken for granted, I would certainly not be surprised if all astrological predictions or others were denied, it would not be the first time.
    But we fans of these subjects must point out that there is a certain tendency in favor of Djokovic. Or so it seems.

    Hi Sally and all,

    This will be a fascinating astrological exercise, the quarterfinal between Djokovic and Nadal. It’s nice that we have birth times for both players!

    Djokovic has his secondary progressed Ascendant approaching the trine to his progressed Sun. A very nice factor. But it is still 24 minutes of arc from exact. The progression that is exact is the one you mentioned, Sally, progressed Venus opposite Saturn. It could bring some sort of unhappy experiences, but as you said, it may not be expressed on the tennis court.

    Transiting Mars will be near Djokovic’s Moon. A stimulating factor for sports performance? Or irritability? A potential difficult transit is Chiron squaring his Ascendant, but that is still over half a degree from exact, and I’d guess we will not see it in effect. The transiting Sun will be making a nice sextile to his North Node, and that could be good for success.

    Nadal has a progression in possible effect that I believe brought him extraordinary good luck at the Australian Open. He didn’t have to play Djokovic there, where Djokovic has been dominant, just as Nadal has been dominant at the French Open. The progression is progressed North Node sextile Mercury. “Fated” success at tennis? But now the progression has moved farther from exact, perhaps in “iffy” range.

    A transit that could be quite difficult is Mars squaring Nadal’s Neptune. It will be starting to separate before the match begins, but I think it will be close enough to exact to be felt during the match. It can bring a time of lower than normal energy or perhaps injury problems. It is not a good time to be playing a tennis match.

    I’m going with the transits and the prevailing opinions expressed here and picking Djokovic to win this match. But the progressions might be better for Nadal, and I won’t be surprised at all if he succeeds here at “his” tournament!

    I have heard the Nadal vs Djokovic match will start at 21.00hrs local time. The Ascendant is scorpio 11th degree rising and in exact trine to Jupiter and ruling planet Mars in conjunction with Jupiter in 5th house. The Ascendant represent the favorite and this means very good astrology for Djokovic to win as he is the favorite being the no1 seed. The 7 th house represent the challenger and it’s Lord venus is placed in the 6th house in the company of North node so not as good for the challenger as for the favorite at 1st glance. But the 7th house contains Mercury Lord of MC and sun the 10th Lord as per equal house system so making 7th house stronger meaning the challenger will not be put away easily. Moreover moon is in the 8th house in an almost exact trine to saturn which does not make the job easy for the favorite. So i am expecting a close match and the result could go either way.

      Favourite has nothing to do with the no.1 seed but with their performance so far. Nadal will always be a favourite but I agree this time it seems Djokovic. Mars and Jupiter just came out of a planetary war, does that play a role?

      For Djokovic Mars will be in 5th house as lord of ascendant and 6th house with Jupiter lord of 5th and second house. Whereas the 7th house has 10th lord, 8th and 11th lord places. And the 7th house lord conjunct Rahu (in nakshatra of Sun, 10th house lord). I also think its going to be a close call. Given the conditions and form I give the edge to Djokovic.

    Nadal’s French Open quarter-final against long-time rival Novak Djokovic will take place in Tuesday’s night session at Roland Garros despite the 13-time champion’s desire to play in the day. Officials confirmed on Monday that the pair’s 59th career meeting will be the late match under the lights of Court Philippe Chatrier with the day’s other quarter-final between Carlos Alcaraz and Alexander Zverev set for the afternoon. “I don’t like to play on clay during the night, because the humidity is higher, the ball is slower, and there can be very heavy conditions especially when it’s cold,” said Nadal last week.

    “I think that makes a big difference between the way tennis is played on clay during the night and during the day.”

    Djokovic had hinted he would prefer to face Nadal as late as possible.

    “All I will say is Rafa and I would make different requests,” said the world number one and defending champion.

    Alcaraz said it would have been “unfair” if he was ordered to play after 9pm for the third time. Nadal and Djokovic have played one match each so far after dark.

    Interesting that the other youngster doing well this tournament is born very close to Carlos Alcaraz. They are both 19 – Alcaraz’ birthday is May 3 2003, Holger Rune is April 29, 2003 and has just knocked out Tsitsipas. Both teenagers are Sun Taurus and both have key planets in Aries – this means they are getting the double whammy of Uranus in Taurus & Jupiter in Aries – the two key planets you want to see acting as a catalyst for success!

        It’s hard to say without a time of birth for either of them. Holger Rune has his Moon in Aries but we don’t know what degree without the time of day. The transits aren’t exact so you can’t say absolutely yes but I’m intrigued that there are two 19 year olds with key planets in Aries/Taurus both peaking this year when the transiting planets to watch out for are in those two star signs!

          In Oct 2020 conditions were more colder, and Novak needs little faster court so he can hit the ball across the court, as he is not beast like Nadal but still he is the best.Also in 2020 Novak was under power with his forehand, he fixed that in 2021and we all know peak Novak can do in any court.
          Also I keep hearing from Nadal fans that Nadal was under power on both occasions when Novak defeated in first in 2015 during hot faster day conditions in 3 sets, as well last year slower cooler night conditions, but not extremely heavy conditions like those were in Oct 2020. Novak is the best player for more than a decade now.
          Now let’s look positives for Nadal from numerology perspective as Nadal being number 3 has mostly done historical well every 3 years since 2010,2013,2019 exception year 2016 where he was really injured, in those years he had won French open and made a landmark year for himself with year end number 1. 2016 -Murray became number one as he is part of same numerical family-3,6 and 9. 2022 started similar and luck came his side and won Australian open and we all know the best player was not there to defend.From facts side as well this year it favors Nadal as we haven’t seen Novak winning back to back Italian open and French open in a same year.
          Let’s see how Novak forehand comes on the court tomorrow, question to be answered will he tame the beast in the red court in relatively cooler conditions this year from last year as night Temperatures are lower this year, could be little heavy as well or beast shines in this numerological favored year.

          I actually think it will help Rafa, playing in cold conditions. Yes, ball may not bounce as much and conditions will slower but Novak has hard time generating his own pace. I expect Rafa to win in 4 sets. As long as Rafa keeps unforced errors in check, it will be fine.

    I want to return to the “transit orbit” topic discussed below.
    Yes, because as the great Andrè Barbault, father of the so-called “modern astrology together with Dane Rudhyar said, wrong term but I use it only to give an idea, as there is an orbit of gods and among the planets, there is also consequently an orbit of transits.
    And according to this principle, in the case of slower planets, from Jupiter to Pluto, the effect of their influence varies over time and usually does not materialize at maximum power when on paper there is the perfect aspect, obviously that of conjunction. it is the most important and the strongest.
    So the influence will be felt a little earlier, it will grow over time when there is the perfect conjunction, and it will be maximum after some time that the perfect conjunction has dissolved.
    So the effects are there throughout this time span, more and less strong, but they vary depending on where the transit planet is at that moment.
    I have verified this, but obviously everyone will have made his own experiments and verified him, as is normal.

        Novak is not a problem for RAFA at least not on RG
        Novak two win here was against the lesser version of RAFA
        We all know RAFA was going through his worst phase in 2015 confident wise
        In 2021 the foot injury hampered RAFA’s on court movement
        I can’t see Novak winning when RAFA is fit and confident
        Remember 2020 when every body discarded RAFA, he literally destroyed Novak in first 2 sets with 6-0 6-2 when the condition was cold and heavy (it was in October )
        For me those 2 win of Novak count nothing as far as RG is concerned

          True. But it is difficult to say Rafa is at his best or not. There were lapses in his previous match against Felix. But overall pretty good. His match stats have been decent this tournament. Novak’s last match was pretty strong.

          I agree if he is fit and in form, he should win against Novak here, purely from a tennis perspective. Whether day or night.

          As for no. 1 being the favourite, I think Nadal has probably beaten Novak when he was no. 1 before.

    I usually play when we get to the crucial moments of the slam tournaments.
    I’m talking about biorhythms, and specifically about biorhythm compatibility, that is, your own biorhythm compared with that of the specific day in which you play.
    A bit like the astrological synastry between two people.

    Day 05-31-2022

    Novak Djokovic, 05-22-1987
    Emotional 94%
    Physical 78%
    Intellectual 50%

    Rafael Nadal, 06-03-1986
    Emotional 0%
    Physical 20%
    Intellectual 42%

    So if we take biorhythm as a parameter, there is absolutely no match.
    Djokovic is almost at the maximum of his emotional potential, also well placed under that physical one.
    On the other hand, Nadal should have a bad day, with even a 0% emotional performance, and very down even physically.

    Let’s see if once again the biorhythm feedback will be centered, as has happened very often on other occasions, as someone will recall.
    This was especially the case for the US Open 2021 final, in the decisive game for the conquest of the Grand Slam, when despite Nole’s astrology seemed good, at least in terms of progression, the biorhythms were very negative.

      Thanks for sharing. If we take it for todays match between Rafa and FAA it is as follow:

      Nadal

      Physical: 13%
      Emotional: 43%
      Intellectual: 94%

      FAA:

      Physical: 97%
      Emotional: 43%
      Intellectual: 86%

      So, how do you decide? From these FAA clearly had an advantage over Nadal yet he won.

        Simple … biorhythms, like astrology, do not decide the fate, because what matters above all is the potential of each one ….
        And it is clear that nadal is certainly stronger than Aliassime, but by a lot.
        But since the latter’s biorhythms were excellent, the game was uncertain until the end.
        These things I have pointed out several times.
        Those who use astrology as an absolute parameter to understand who can be the winner and the loser are wrong.
        Obviously this is especially true in individual sports, where there is a fight for which the position of each can be assessed exactly.

          Hi Mike, the favourite is decided on the performance. Rafa was second or third favourite (even though he won it many times) he was not first because of his health condition. I think Djokovic and Alcaraz are also favourites.

    And obviously the Sun too.
    It doesn’t get more perfect than that, for two Gemini players, and for the sign that more than anyone else is inclined to this sport.

      From what I saw today (and I am a Rafa fan) is that Djokovic is the favourite. He has not been tested yet but his serve, return and movement are very good and running. Nadal only has a chance is he plays like the last couple of games in the 3rd and 5th set. That was vintage Nadal. Unforfunately, I think Djokovic is in a better shape and will have the edge. Plus, this match against Felix was taxing for Rafa.

        If rafa Novak match does start 9pm in Paris..then we have a Scorpio ascendant (favorite) and ascendant lord mars conjunct Jupiter within 1 degree Pisces in the 5th house..Venus lord of the 7th house (challenger) is in the 6th house

        Seems like an unlikely scenario for rafa to win if he seen him as the underdog and djokovic as the favorite, which in my view as a rafa fan here..djokovic is the clear favorite for this match in 2022

    It is the astrologer who in the comment says he was born at that time.
    However I take note that it may be so, even if it does not convince me very much.
    If so, he would also have a decioma placed not too well, with the southern lunar node right on the mc, squared to Uranus in Pisces.

    I don’t know why people are bringing up Djokovic’s Jupiter conjunct Moon as a factor. That’s like saying Jupiter transits last 2 full weeks. Curious what is stronger, a Jupiter conjunct the moon that hits on the 13th of June (8 days after the final) so not within 1 degree the whole tournament or Jupiter retrograde on the 12th of September (less than 24 hours) after the US Open final, which is when it returns. It also returns during the end of the Australian Open next year, crazy the timing of them. I am aware that direct is stronger than retrograde, but the retrograde is near exact on the day of the final, whereas this time around it is not within range. If he does win this French Open I got to believe Jupiter conjunct moon this time around has more correlation with the celebration afterwards.

      You are right, that transit not yet completed cannot be decisive, as it is in formation.
      In my opinion, based on research and experience, the direct transit of Jupiter materializes in all its force after about 3 months from the transit on the exact monomer of the natal planet.
      Saturn in about 7 months, Uranus also 20 months, etc. See the revolution times of the planets and the degrees covered in a year.
      So for him the effects of him will be felt at the US open and not before, where he will however be retrograde, some influence obviously also at Wimbledon.
      This is not to say that Nole does not have other arrows in his favor.

    • Sally Kirkman says

      29th May 2022 at 10:32 AM

      Jupiter’s one of the slower moving planets so you do experience Jupiter transits for about a year, especially if you receive three hits as it turns retrograde and direct again. I have a different idea of Jupiter to Andreas as I think the applying conjunction is often stronger than the separating conjunction. And by the final, Jupiter will be only one degree away from Novak’s Moon Aries and already active. With the faster moving planets – Mars, Venus, Mercury – you are looking at more accuracy regarding dates as they can whizz through one star sign in a couple of weeks or months. Working with clients, you often see the Jupiter Return year kicking in when Jupiter enters the star sign too – so there are different ways of working with it.

      Reply
      • David says

        29th May 2022 at 9:01 PM

        The day after the final it will reach 1 degree, not the day of. So during his clash with Nadal Jupiter is at 3.40 conjunct moon at 5.34 is at 1.56 degrees (so basically 2 degrees), at the end of the day it is at 3.49, so not much better. It is a Jupiter return year, so I guess it would have stronger influence.

        Sally, I said that the strongest effect is experienced when obviously the transit planet reaches the perfect conjunction with the natal one.
        So it is clear that the effect of Jupiter and slow crying does not end in a few days, but lasts a long time.
        However, if we take the slow planets, for example Mars, that is the least slow of these, in my opinion the effect lasts about 3 weeks, always according to the above principle.

    Here we are again, a hello to everyone 🙂 …
    I immediately begin by saying one thing: my impression is that “Alcatraz”, as I call it but also others, has the ascendant in Lion.
    It is obviously just an impression given by intuition by observing the boy, there is no data on the time of birth as we know.
    Thus, if he were born around 2pm, he would have the Sun printed exactly on the mc with mercury next to it, which would confirm his great physical precocity.

    If this were the case, he would have a transit of Uranus in tenth always practically on the mc, since at this moment he is passing on his Sun, and has barely exceeded it by 1 degree and a half.
    Calculating that the effect of the 3 very slow planets is not realized immediately, but after months of the exact transit, it is likely that it is in the focus of the planetary radiation, or very close.
    It is certainly one of the favorites, even more astrologically, the full explosion could already take place in Paris, or be postponed to the next slams. All the more so as clearly Uranus will return strong retrograde to beat on its Sun.
    But he has to deal with Nole and his equally promising astrology, albeit with other characteristics.
    In my opinion, Novak will beat Nadal in the quarters, and if so there will be the epic generational clash with Alcatraz in the semifinals.
    Whoever wins of the two is very likely to win the tournament as well.

          I see what you’re saying but I much prefer to work with a possible time of birth. We can often make a case for different rising signs. The time that has come to light is 3am which would make him Aquarius rising but with Mars on the Ascendant. I think he has the fire of Mars and he’s bringing something new to the mix – Aquarius. So, I think it’s difficult to say without more information.

      No time of birth for her so hard to say. She had Jupiter transits last year when she started playing sensational tennis. She’s a Scorpio and the recent eclipses – last 6 months – have been in Scorpio & Taurus – they can bring highs but also lows – it’s rarely a stable energy. Also, she now has taskmaster Saturn where Jupiter was last year so it turns from yes to no! Hope that helps.

    Someone had mentioned that Alcarez was born at 3AM.I cast a chart for this time. The sidereal chart shows 17th degree of Capricorn rises and MC at 6.43 scorpio making saturn the ruling planet and Mars the career planet. Mars is placed very close to point Ascendant and closely aspected by Jupiter making it a very powerful horoscope. When he won Miami Jupiter and Mars were in close association in last degree of Capricorn. When he won Barcelona and madrid Jupiter was closely aspecting His MC and on the day of madrid final the aspect was exact. This may mean the birth time is correct. If so he has a very powerful horoscope and will have a sterling career.

        Hi Rinku, I share your belief! Despite most astrology comments pointing towards a Novak win in the quarters tomorrow, I believe Rafa will win from purely the physics point of view, providing he is pain-free. He says he prefers sunny hot weather where the balls will bounce high, but that also means the ball will speed through the court with lots of pace. This is very helpful and effective when Rafa was younger and has the explosive speed to cover the courts. He is now almost 36, he actually needs a slower pace to offset the loss of speed in his legs.

        Hot weather is perfect for Novak’s game. Novak can hit through Rafa with precision to paint the lines and with speed. He has now found a way to deal with the high bounce off of Rafa’s spin anyway.

        Thus I think the slow and heavy balls will frustrate Novak more than Rafa. He will have problems generating pace whereas Rafa will have more time to get to the balls. The finals of French Open 2020 was played in the cold weather of October, and Rafa won in straight sets, 6-0 in first!

      It is very difficult to predict how many majors a player will win. We see the astrology at the time of a tournament and see what chances a player has to win it.

        Do you still give rafa the edge over Novak irrespective of if it’s a day or night match on 31st

          Given that Rafa and Djoker both are player earlier than Alcaraz and Zverev tomorrow, chances are higher that they will play day session and Alcatraz and Zverev will play night session.

            Good observation !!! You could be right. Logically Novak vs Rafa QF should be played in the day session.

    Sally and fellow astrologers, is the case that younger players can win for with mildly unfavorable or not so favorable astrology as compared to older ones with better astrology? Just curious

      Usually that’s not the case – I think developing a winner’s mentality is vital – the top guys know what it takes to win mentally & physically. Win one Grand Slam and that has to help you in the next one. As we’ve seen even with amazing astrology younger players don’t always come through. But… it sometimes happens, i.e. look at Carlos Alcaraz who defeated 3 of the top seeds to win the Madrid Open – Uranus conjunct his Sun. So, the miraculous can happen.

          I shall summarise what I wrote regarding the French Open. Cancer 15th degree rises and MC falls on 26 degree pisces which makes moon the ruling planet and Jupiter success point ruler. Moon in close conjunction with saturn in the house of saturn means an older player above 30 is likely to win the tournament. The MC of saturn falls right on the natal Jupiter of Djokovic meaning he has great astrology. But the moon in 8th House means not so good for the favorite in this case Djokovic. Nadal does not have great astrology from the natal chart point of view. But from his secondary progressed chart he has some very good astrology. His progressed MC Lord is mercury and the tournament point ascendant falls on his progressed Mercury and the tournament MC is in an exact trine to his progressed Ascendant. So it is close between nadal and Djokovic. The quarter final winner between Nadal and Djokovic is the most likely winner of FO. I give a slight edge to nadal.

      Djokovic begins Shani Sade Sati this year which are 7 subpar years. When Federer went through Shani Sade Sati it started september 2009 and in those 7 years after he had mixed results and won few Slams, I think 2 Slams, 1 in 2010 and 1 in 2012. Any experts in vedic astrology can explain this?

        This appears to be a very interesting observation.

        Sade-Sati is the 7+1⁄2 years long period of Shani. This astrological phase is much feared by those in India who believe Indian Astrology. This is a period with many challenges, but also a time of great achievements and recognition.[1]

    The astrology of French Open 2022 from Juan Cruz

    The astrology of Roland Garros 2022

    Despite not having the time of birth of many of the top players, which makes it very difficult to make an accurate analysis, below I will share my astrological forecast for this new edition of Roland Garros as I have been doing in all the grand slams for a long time. several years.

    The great irruption in the tennis environment in recent years is that of Carlos Alcaraz . In September 2021, despite not having his birth time, I anticipated that the young Spaniard would continue to rise in 2022 (see tweet https://twitter.com/ElBlogDeJC/status/1435739978668003329 ) but that he would stand out even more in 2023 with Jupiter in Taurus.

    It exploded in Miami and Madrid with Uranus on its Sun, now Uranus is moving a little away from that position. I think he can make a good Parisian Open, but I see it difficult for him to win because Saturn converted opposes his natal Sun and that can speak of obstacles and impediments.

    Daniil Medvedev (no time). It can take a heavy hit because Saturn conjuncts its Sun/Mars. I discard it for the title.

    Alexander Zverev (taking the chart with time of birth 3am). Saturn squaring your supposed Midheaven is an indicator of frustration.

    Andrey Rublev (no time). I think he can make a good tournament for the trine of Jupiter to his natal Pluto by activating the sextile with Uranus.

    Mateo Berrettini (no hour). He is another who can benefit from Jupiter in the first degrees of Aries, forming a trine with his natal Pluto and Uranus.

    Stefanos Tsitsipas (no time). It continues with the secondary progression converts Sun trigone Jupiter, which generally indicates a good period for him (2021-2022). The issue is that for this tournament there are no outstanding transits, he can have a good tournament but he will not be a champion.

    Rafael Nadal (7:15 p.m.). He had a good lunar revolution left with very strong Mars conjunct Jupiter and both elevated in the lunar MC. That is a very positive aspect, which is why I think that at a minimum he should go far in the tournament. The opposition of the Sun to radical Saturn, at the same time as angular Pluto in the monthly chart and square to the natal 6/12 axis, make me doubt about the coronation and about the state of his physical body.

    Novak Djokovic (11:25 p.m.). His lunar revolution for Paris I consider to be the best of all, since he has Jupiter together with Mars and the Moon in the monthly MC and that package in sextile to his natal Sun. In addition, Uranus forms trigone with his natal Ascendant. The only con he has is Pluto opposite the lunar Ascendant.
    For all the above, I consider Novak Djokovic the best astrologically aspected to be crowned champion at Roland Garros 2022.

      Thank you – really helpful. It would make sense as it makes his Midheaven late degrees Scorpio and the recent eclipses in November & May – they came as a pair – would have been triggering it – eclipses can accelerate growth, the highs & lows in life. Although, it does mean the south node is on his Midheaven and I often think it needs to be the other way round for greatness.

        Hi Sally,

        Seems like men’s quarterfinals will be played on May 31st – Novak/Nadal if they both progress to that stage. Since there is so little margin between these two great rivals, will the progression you noted below have any impact at all on the outcome of the quarter-final?

        “There is one major progression that’s exact on May 31st – Venus progressed opposite Saturn – but that may be more about what’s happening at home rather than on the court. With changeable Uranus also at the base of his astrology chart, there’s likely some tension in his personal life but it will take a lot to steer him off course.”

          In my experience of doing these tennis predictions, the transits tend to be a better guide than the progressions. We have seen progressions playing out in previous tournaments but they’re not always as date specific as the transits. They tend to be a backdrop to what’s happening during the year.

    Sally, so glad you’re doing the tennis blog again.

    First, you’re wondering about Mercury retrograde during a GS. Well, Mercury was retrograde during AO this year. I pointed out that Mercury retrograde might mean a repeat winner. With Djokovic’s absence, Nadal was the only previous winner there. Not many people favored Nadal but he won. I can’t think of one previous winners at FO besides Nadal and Djokovic. Could it happen again?

    Second, you said the tournament chart favors the favorite so you thought it favors Djokovic. It’s French Open. Nadal should be the favorite as long as he plays. I’m curious why you didn’t even consider Nadal.

    Third, in your podcast with Christina, Christina talked about record-breaking in sports and soething about kids breaking
    record during this period. “Kid” could be Carlos and record-breaking could be Nadal since he holds just about all records in FO and he also holds GS record too. Djokovic can’t break any record at FO this year.

    Just some fruits for thought…

      Before the tournament started Djokovic is/was the favourite. Followed by Alcaraz and Nadal. The reason for this is: Nadal skipped clay season due his chronic foot condition. It might be that once we are in the second week Nadal regains the position of favourite to win RG2022.

      It should be mentioned that Mercury will turn direct on 3rd of June, which is the day the semi-finals take place and Nadal’s birthday. Nadal and Djokovic are meeting in the QF – so according to me the winner of that match will win the French Open.

      Yes, interesting – thank you. Re. Nadal – he’s not the top seed, he didn’t win it last time and his transits aren’t great! I guess that’s why I didn’t go with him. Plus, he already holds the record for the most French Open wins and the most Grand Slams so I don’t know that he’s going to be the record breaker. Let’s see what unfolds.

        It doesn’t matter that Nadal’s not the top seed. Seeds are based on rankings and because of injuries etc Nadal isn’t higher in rankings. Djokovic would still be top seed because of ranking so you shouldn’t consider that. I also feel that you always favour Djokovic and I remember in the AO one of the other contributors was using the astrology and picking Nadal.

          hi Lesley, I’ve found your comment now – it seemed to be hidden because it was a reply. Please all keep me posted if there are problems posting. I think it seems to be sorting itself out & the comments are appearing but good to know if not. I’m not sure what you’re trying to say here, Lesley? My favourite was always Federer which is why I started this blog, so I don’t have a bias at all with the current set of players. I stick to the astrology of the tournament chart and the major transits to make my predictions. I like Djokovic’ astrology this time around as per my blog. And, I don’t always get it right and sometimes other astrologers get it right. We don’t always make the same predictions either because we use different techniques. I hope that helps.

        Exactly because Nadal holds all records at French Open and the most GS, he’s the only one who can break the record. No one is even close to his records except Djokovic’s GS. But if Djokovic wins, he’ll only tie with Nadal at the most GS titles. He can’t break it. That’s what I mean that only Nadal can break his own records.

        I don’t even think Alcaraz can break any agd record since Nadal won his 1st FO/GS at the same age. I havr to check the date to confirm.

          Just checked, Nadal was 2 days past his 19 birthday when he won the 1st French Open on 1st attempt. So no, Carlos Alcaraz can’t break his age record.

            Thanks for checking. It was Christina who mentioned the record-breaking theme of the Mars/Jupiter conjunction in Aries – exact on May 29th. But I do agree with her that we will see it playing out – that doesn’t mean it will be the tennis but you would expect it to be more prevalent. It’s an interesting point – someone asked me why the devastating floods on the day of the Jupiter/Neptune conjunction didn’t happen everywhere. That’s not going to happen if the world is going to continue to turn on its axis. Sometimes, there is a reason regarding the astrology for the country and sometimes, the symbolism of the astrology plays out in different ways. That was such an interesting conjunction for clients and there were may different showings of it.

            No man has won 3 or more slams on 3 different surfaces. Djokovic can do that here.

        Thanks for doing the podcast. May I make a couple suggestions?

        1. Please reduce personal chatting. I know you’re friends who want to catch up. But the podcast is long. Have mercy on your listeners.

        2. Could you please organize the podcast a bit more? I think most listeners are interested in their own sign. The way you jump around may make listeners miss their own sign because they may be multi-tasking when you’re talking about other signs. I did that a few times and had to replay the whole thing. Maybe you can group signs in a certain order? By birthday order? By water, earth etc?

        Thanks!

          Thanks for the suggestions. Interesting what you say as we specifically wanted the podcast to be more personal and chatty! That’s really our USP. I’m aware that’s not going to appeal to everyone but as both Christina & I write extensive horoscopes, we wanted to try and bring something new to the market. And, do something that we enjoy. I’ll let Christina know and see what she thinks.
