Update: September 14th 2015. I have been thinking all day about the astrology for the US Open as I didn’t get this prediction correct. I now believe that I interpreted the chart for the tournament incorrectly.
The ruler of the Ascendant, Mars, is strong in Leo close to the Midheaven = the favourite; the ruler of the Descendant, Venus is weakened, i.e. retrograde in Leo = not the favourite, also elevated in the 10th house of success.
I thought this meant that the favourite wouldn’t win and as both planets go on to trine Uranus, I predicted a surprise winner.
In retrospect, the planet representing the favourite and the ruler of men, Mars, is strong (no. 1 seed Djokovic won) and the planet representing women, Venus, is weakened (the no. 1 women’s player, Serena Williams, crashed out in the semis to the unseeded Roberta Vinci, a Sun Aquarius).
Uranus rules Aquarius – was Vinci the surprise shown by the chart? I believe so. Plus, there were more players retiring this year in the men’s tournament and top seeds did go out early on making Djokovic’ path to the final easier than it could have been.
So the surprises came mainly in the womens’ game and also in the mixed doubles as the Kazakhstan player Yaroslava Shvedova had arranged to get married on the final Saturday but needed to change plans suddenly when her doubles partnership made it through to the final and were runners-up!
The US Open begins tomorrow, August 31st 2015, and once again this article is a look at the astrology for the tournament (see chart on left) plus the astrological predictions for the top players.
It’s also a forum for people to comment on the tennis as it plays out and the tennis blogs have become one of the most popular items on the website so thank you to all who contribute.
I know that for some readers the astrology is complex but I do want to write this to please everyone and a lot of people have a good understanding of the astrological symbolism. If the astrology bamboozles you, my advice is to jump to the bits that interest you/you understand and ignore the rest.
The tournament chart:
The chart for the start of the tournament (see above) gives you a symbolic picture of what to expect in the coming fortnight’s tennis. Here’s what’s important. An early Scorpio Ascendant means that the ruling planet is Mars at 14 Leo in the 10th house close to but not conjunct the Leo Midheaven. This immediately picks out the favourite doing well as the ruler of the Ascendant. Mars is the competitive planet and the Midheaven is the success point of the chart.
However, there is a second planet conjunct Mars and this is Venus, ruler of the 7th house. Venus starts the tournament retrograde, i.e. weakened but she turns direct on September 6th and by the time of the final will be strong once again. So the favourite will be challenged as the ruler of the 7th is emphasised. Both these planets Mars and Venus are heading towards a positive trine aspect to Uranus (classically the outsider). So nothing is clear cut here and it’s anyone’s game.
Plus, note the lovely Sun/Jupiter conjunction in Virgo also in the 10th house and in the public eye. Will Virgos do well this year or players with their Jupiter return in Virgo, i.e. age 24? It’s their turn to play big and do well and I have noted a few key names below.
The Moon is always worth noting in charts which symbolise a specific moment in time as the Moon is the quickest-moving planetary body. The Moon is in competitive Aries and makes a few planetary aspects before it completes harmonious trine aspects to the Mars/Venus duo and ends up conjunct Uranus. I suspect that like last year when the final was an unlikely match between Cilic and Nishikori, we might see some new faces emerge and shocks and surprises (Uranus) are part of the picture.
Serena Williams b. September 26 1981, 8:28 pm, Saginaw, MI, USA
I don’t often comment on the women’s tennis but you cannot ignore the fact that Serena Williams is competing for more than the US Open title. She’s on target to win a Calendar Grand Slam (victor of all four Grand Slams in one calendar year) and to equal Steffi Graf’s record of 22 Grand Slam victories. It’s perhaps no surprise that the women’s final sold out before the men’s final this year.
I so hope she achieves this goal because she’s an awesome player. Here’s the link to an article I wrote about Serena recently. The Venus/Mars combination on the Midheaven looks positive for Serena. A Sun Libra with a Taurus Ascendant, her Venusian attributes are a wonderful mix of Venus grace and Mars power.
Plus in her natal chart, her own confident and competitive Mars is at 15 Leo 35 so Venus turns direct on her Mars. On the day of the final, her progressed Moon is exactly sextile Saturn ruling her Capricorn Midheaven and therefore her career planet. The stars are backing her, so here’s hoping she follows through.
Novak Djokovic b. May 22 1987, 11:25 pm, Belgrade, Yugoslavia
The current no. 1 seed hasn’t had the best run-up to the US Open. He was beaten in the final at Montreal by Andy Murray and in the final at Cincinnati by Roger Federer so is he on a losing streak? You can never count out the no. 1 favourite and he’s always the man to beat. Yet astrologically there’s not a lot to get excited about.
He has no planets/angles in Leo or Virgo, the signs of the moment and although his Moon is 5 Aries, close to the Moon in the tournament chart, that’s not enough to base a prediction on. Jupiter, the success planet, will make a positive aspect to his own Venus at 6 Taurus on September 10th but it’s not stunning symbolism for his career. Venus links to his personal/home life.
Roger Federer b. August 8 1981, 8:40 am, Basel, Switzerland
Roger Federer continues to play amazing tennis and winning in Cincinnati last week beating his nemesis Djokovic (who beat him at Wimbledon) must have increased his confidence. The US Open isn’t his favourite surface but he has some lovely astrology boosting his chances.
Federer’s Sun is at 15 Leo next to Mercury, ruler of his Gemini Midheaven and therefore his career planet, and Mercury is at 13 Leo. Look at the Venus/Mars conjunction in the tournament chart. They fit snugly between his Sun/Mercury conjunction and competitive Mars would have been applying by conjunction to his natal Mercury when he won Cincinnati. He’s on a roll.
Venus turns direct on his Sun and on the day of the final Venus is at 15 Leo 26 and Federer’s Sun is 15 Leo 38 exactly. He’ll be popular, if nothing else! However, Federer also has his Virgo Ascendant at 11 degrees so Jupiter is moving ever closer to the Ascendant (self) and the Sun goes over his Ascendant during the tournament. Jupiter is at 7 Virgo on the day of the final.
Plus Federer’s progressions look lovely too as his progressed Ascendant is applying to a conjunction with lucky Jupiter, exact on September 22nd. It might not shout out career success but he’s in flow, in tune with the stars and anything can happen.
Andy Murray b. May 15 1987, 2:10 pm, Glasgow, UK
Andy Murray’s having an awesome year. He’s playing great tennis, he got married and he has a baby on the way. He does however have one of the hardest first-round matches in the US Open against notorious bad boy Nick Kyrgios. Nick Kyrgios, b. April 27 1995 is a Sun Taurus but his Mars is at 19 Leo and he will have his Mars return (a bi-annual event) during the tournament). Expect antics and some powerful tennis!
Like Federer, Murray has a Virgo Ascendant, 14 Virgo for Murray so Jupiter’s further away than it is for Federer. Uranus (surprises) makes a positive trine aspect to his natal Saturn at 19 Sagittarius, exact on the day of the final. Saturn’s not linked to his career though but is linked to children/family.
Murray’s coach Amelie Mauresmo b. July 5 1979 does have stunning astrology with a Mercury/Jupiter conjunction at 8 and 11 Leo respectively. Jupiter rules her 5th house of children and she’s just had a baby boy so she’s unlikely to be at Murray’s side during the tournament.
Rafael Nadal b. June 3 1986, 7:10 pm, Manacor, Spain
Rafael Nadal has himself admitted that this is his worst year of tennis in 11 years although he is starting to win some solid matches once again. I can’t see him grabbing a win at the US Open as he doesn’t seem back to his best yet and the astrology confirms this.
There are different birth times doing the rounds for Nadal: 6:20pm gives him a Midheaven of 17 Leo and the time used here gives him a Midheaven of 0 Virgo. Either way, Jupiter has now moved over his Midheaven (a once-in-a-12-year event) and he’s not back to his winning form which you would expect with Jupiter dominant.
However he does have Saturn in his 1st house ruling his physical body and he’s such an intense player that this must put great stress on him physically. His Saturn return is exact later this year in November which can be a testing time. So even with Jupiter (success) in his career house, Nadal doesn’t seem to be able to raise his game, as yet.
The Best Of The Rest:
I mentioned we might see some Sun Virgos come to the fore now Jupiter is blessing their sign for the next 12 months. Here’s a few of them:
Thomas Berdych b. September 17 1985, no time of birth
Berdych is seeded no. 6. His Sun is at 24 Virgo, Mercury, often prominent in tennis players, is at 19 Virgo and his Mars (competitiveness) is at 4 Virgo. Jupiter is conjunct his Mars as the tournament begins.
Gael Monfils, b. September 1 1986, 4:50 am, Paris, France
Monfils’ Sun is at 8 Virgo conjunct Mercury at 3 Virgo so Jupiter is lighting up this powerful duo. They’re in his 2nd house ruling money so he should do well.
Ernest Gulbis, b. August 30 1988, no time of birth
Gulbis’ Sun is at 7 Virgo and his Mercury is at 29 Virgo so Jupiter is exactly conjunct his Sun during the final.
Dominic Thiem, b. September 3 1993, no time of birth
Sun at 10 Virgo, Mercury at 15 Virgo.
Jack Sock, b. September 24 1992, no time of birth
Jack Sock is a Sun Libra but his Jupiter is at 26 Virgo so he’s heading for his 2nd Jupiter return, often a time of success.
Borna Coric, November 14 1996, no time of birth
Not a Sun Virgo but a Sun Scorpio. However, his Mars (competition/athleticism) is at 8 Virgo and Jupiter’s heading ever closer towards it during the tournament.
Who Will Win?
I think the astrology is pointing to a new name on the trophy, but I would love for Roger Federer to snatch one more title. It’s a real long shot but the astrology continues to put this majestic Leo centre stage.
Dear Sally,
I hope you are feeling a lot better now.
Thank you for posting USO Astrology. I love what you said about Roger. Sally, Roger has now entered his new Solar Return, you said that it is fantastic in August. Will Roger new Solar Return help him through USO?
Also you said that there might be surprise winner? Could that be Roger? As a lot of people are writing him off for USO.
Regards
Thank you. I am starting to feel better. I can’t make a clear prediction this time and no, I’m not thinking that Roger is the surprise winner. He’s definitely one of the favourites starting at no. 2 seed. Out of the top seeds, his astrology is the most interesting. I still think it’s a tall order for him to win at the US Open, not his favourite surface, but never say never… best, Sally
Hi Sally,
I am wondering if Berdych is going through his Saturn Return as he is now 29. I am worried now for Roger as Berdych is a Virgo.
Can Roger Astrology over come Virgo Astrology, like Berdych’s?
Sorry for asking you all these questions.
Thank you.
What I mean is Can Roger Astrology over comes Berdych Astrology? Is Roger Astrology stronger than Berdych? As Berdych might be going through his Saturn Return or coming to the end of his Saturn Return. I believe it takes good 6 months for Saturn Return to clear up. Am I right or wrong?
Thank you!
Hi Sally
There is a Solar Eclipse on 13th September! I had a look at Berdych chart Jupiter conjuct Mars goes from 28th August to 7th September!
I hope Roger win USO. I cannot stand another heartache.
Could you please tell us who has got the strongest Astrology to win USO?
Berdych also has his Mercury at 20 Virgo so the eclipse is exactly on it. Got to be interesting for him although eclipses are never definite pointers of success. They can wipe you out or thrust you to stardom. It goes either way. I can’t answer your last sentence easily this time around. Sorry. Roger has the loveliest astrology going on but whether it’s enough to help him grab another Grand Slam is hard to say. It’s not definitive. More complex astrology to other Grand Slams. best, Sally
No time of birth for Berdych so too hard to give a full prediction on one versus the other. Once the final transit of Saturn has been and gone, then its influence begins to fade so not so long in my opinion. best, Sally
Berdych’ Saturn return is over. His Saturn is mid-degrees Scorpio. He’s definitely one to watch and I do feel the Virgos are going to do well this tournament. Roger doesn’t play him in the early rounds, does he? best, Sally
No Roger plays Berdych in the Quarters which is next wednesday.
OK thanks.
GO FED!!!!!
What about Stan?
Wawrinka’s astrology didn’t leap out at me. Nothing amazing going on and I do have his time of birth. best, Sally
I appreciate you taking time yo put the prediction before the tournament main draw starts. Good to know there may be surprise winner this time too… As usual, I want Federer yo win. Let’s see how it goes….
Thanks Sathia. best, Sally
espn picks:
Chrissy, Gilbert, Bodo, Tandon, Wilansky pick Roger.
Cahill, Drysdale, Fernandez, Shriver, Bialik, Isaacson, Garber pick Djoker.
I wonder who their consult to the stars is…????
hi Deidre, who are all the people you mention? Pundits? Interesting that quite a few are going for Roger as US Open isn’t usually his favourite tournament. best, Sally
dear sally thanks for posting the predictions of uso. if it is a new name to win uso could it be nishikori?
KEI has lost in five sets to Paire.
Well, Nishikori is out. The ones who leapt out for me astrologically I listed on the article. I’m particularly interested in the Virgos/players with key planets in Virgo now that Jupiter, the success planet, is boosting their sign. best, Sally
Thanks for the post.
🙂
Dissapointing prediction. With all respect, I was hoping you said a name like you often do but you as others like Greenstone Lobo follow his/her personal favorite player, in this case, old Federer instead to be objective and give a proper prediction even if you fail big time like Roland Garros 2015 when you pick Nadal. Hope you post my opinion.
Hi, no problem to post your opinion, always appreciated. Yes, I can understand that I’m not as specific this time around but when the astrology is not showing I can’t be. The other problem I have with lots of the players is no time of birth and making predictions is so much easier when you know what planets influence their career/success. You only see that when you have the time of birth. Federer is the one whose astrology stands out but again it’s not necessarily career/success related but the guy is definitely on a roll. best, Sally
You better inform yourself before you judge in this manner.
Read again and you will notice that Sally`s prediction for Nadal at French Open was based on a wrong birth time from an Astro-databank.
Thanks for the predictions sally!! As much as i want you to be right…I hope you’re wrong this time!! I hope Nadal wins!!!!!!…….heheheh…sorry..:):):):)
Best Regards
Ryan Fernandes

Hi Sally,
Based on your tournament astrology assessment, you mention that the most likely outcome is the favourite will not win. How come you pick Serena to win? Is astrology differently assess for men & women?
I know the women competition is rather pathetic.
hi Mike, I’ve always found the women’s tennis rather difficult to predict using astrology and Serena has often been an enigma from that point of view. However, this time around the astrology seems to be backing her to do something special and I so hope it does.
The astrology of the tournament chart is slightly different for the men and women because of the Venus/Mars conjunction – these two planets are key in Serena’s natal chart so it’s picking her out to do well. Different for the men because Venus rules women so not relevant to their side of the tournament. Hope that makes sense. Not explaining it very well. For the men, Venus suggests the non-favourite. best, Sally
Hi Sally! Thrilled to see you predicting a Roger Federer triumph!
At the same time one has to acknowledge the surprise Uranus is capable of throwing…we all remember the Aussie Open 2014…don’t we ? 🙂
Kudos to you Sally and hope you are well now!
Go Roger!
🙂 Yes we do remember! best, Sally
Hi Sally, thanks for the wonderful insights as usual. Another master class given reading a chart. I hope others are paying attention. My first love is Djokovic but It would be nice for one of the youngsters to come through. I was hoping for Kygrios to take the mantle but he’s got some big ego problems going on. And I’m not impressed. There’s a couple of them who seem to be very spoiled and need an attitude adjustment. Eugenie Bouchard is another one. I think Serena can achieve the calendar grand slam. She is the favourite so if she can do well this bodes well for Djokovic or is everyone seeing Federer as favourite.? What about Stan the Man?
hi Shelley and thank you. I’ve just written a reply comment about how the tournament chart is different for the men and women or at least that’s my interpretation. I think the Venus/Mars conjunction close to the MC is good for Serena as these two planets are the signature aspect in her own chart. It’s different for the men because Mars is the favourite/Venus is the non-favourite so therefore it’s not a yes for Djokovic to win as it was at Wimbledon. Wawrinka’s astrology didn’t stand out this time. Uranus is past key planets in his own chart which was the signature for his win before. Hope that helps. I agree with your comment about some of the younger ones too, but then a bit of a cocky attitude could help their tennis? Not gentlemanly/womanly though 🙂 best, Sally
Hi Sally, great to have you back! In recent predictions I remember you you have told that the ruling planet of the ascendant represents the favorite and mars represents the second favorite.
Moreover the moon should represent the favorite, too? I would appreciate if you could point this out once again. Thank you!!
What totally confuses me is that the ruler of the tournament’s AC in Scorpio is Pluto + Mars as well. So Mars in this case would represent the favorite and the 2. favorite ????
….It is also possible that I have read this interpretation at another astrologer’s website.
hi Patrick. The ruler of the Ascendant is always the significator of the favourite in my opinion and I use the traditional planets so Mars for a Scorpio Ascendant. I don’t use Mars as the second favourite at all so that must have been a misunderstanding between us. The Moon isn’t a symbol of the favourite but if the Moon does well (i.e. makes positive aspects), the favourite does well. If the Moon does badly, (i.e. makes challenging aspects), the favourite tends to struggle. This time around the Moon ends up conjunct Uranus, the planet linked to the ‘outsider’ hence backing up my prediction for a surprise win. Hope that helps. best, Sally
Great insights Sally!! ???????? Thank you!
You’re right, “Mars representing the second favorite” I have read somewhere else.
It’s very exciting to see who will evolve strong from the outsiders the upcoming days!
Hi Sally,
reading your blog from the recent Wimbledon prediction I have noticed your comment regarding the final prediction. You’re talking about Mars as the second favorite. Wouldn’t you use this for US Open, too?
“The Final chart: The favourite is represented by a glorious Venus in Leo conjunct Jupiter as the Ascendant is Libra. The second favourite is represented by Mars in Cancer in its sign of fall combust the Sun. So the match prediction is clear – the favourite will win.”
hi Patrick, I don’t know where the quote is from, not on the main article so I can’t link it to the astrology. I suspect that by saying second favourite I mean the person who will lose, i.e. who comes first, who comes second. Venus/Jupiter is glorious; Mars in Cancer combust the Sun is weak. So it regards to one match not the whole tournament I believe. best, Sally
Thanks Sally! I found your statement from July 11th in your prediction of the final from the user discussion of your Wimbledon 2015 prediction. So yes, it was referred to one match and you were right. Just asked myself why you picked Mars as the loser /2. favorite. MC was in Leo and AC Libra. It’s ruler in Leo conjunct Jupiter.
Venus rules the Ascendant (favourite) and Mars rules the Descendant (non-favourite). Standard astrological practice in match prediction. best, Sally
????????
Is it also significant that as the ruling planet is Mars and the Mars of the chart connects so strongly with roger’s sun mercury conjunction?
Yes definitely Lesley. Mars is applying to his Sun as the tournament begins although it would be preferable applying to his career planet Mercury as it was when he won at Cincinnati. Mars quickly separates from both his Sun/Mercury during the tournament. The tournament chart is great for Federer though – the first player I thought of with the Venus/Mars conjunction close to his Sun/Mercury plus a Leo Midheaven. best, Sally
Hi Sally, what would be very interesting to understand is the importance between the symbolic chart of the tournament start and the particular aspects during the tournament.
The significance of the tournament’s start midheaven in relation to player’s charts has repeatedly proved in your predictions (Wimbledon 2015, Wawrinka’s Grand Slam titles and many more), but I don’t understand yet it’s actual effect. When a player profits from a strong aspect (f.e. with Mars/Jupiter), he receives the energy through the current position of the stars. But the tournament start’s MC has only an effective impact for one day from my point of view. As it is simply symbolic, it has to be understood that god/the universe simply made a footprint to announce something to come in the following event. Is this how it works?
A good example for this question would be Victoria Azarenka, who’s Sun directly hits the Midheaven of the start of The US Open. 2015. Moreover her natal Mars and Mercury are in Leo and not far from the MC. Sun conjuncts her Venus.
Is she finally conquering her deamons and manages to mess up Serena’s Grand Party, making her a true VICTORIA? ????
The MC aspects are convincing aspects I can see for her to accomplish this big task. But will be IC conjunct Jupiter, Jupiter conjunct Venus, Mars conjunct Mercury or Moon square Uranus (not exact) be enough on Saturday 12th…??
Thanks again for your insights! ????
Yes, astrology is a symbolic art which is how you use charts that symbolise a moment in time, the start of an event to predict the outcome. I’m always looking at the two forms together; the symbolic chart of the moment and the current transits to base my prediction on. Hope that helps and interesting what you say about Azarenka. Wonder if we have any Virgo women tennis players too? I haven’t checked. best, Sally
Thanks Sally for taking the time!! That helps me to understand.
There’s Romanian Irina-Camelia Begu (WTA 28 born 26.08.1990:
-Jupiter just went over her sun ( 2′ apart)
-Natal Jupiter in Leo (position: 1 degree)
-Mars/Venus (tournament start) conjunct her Venus
-Mar/Venus square her Pluto
-Saturn Opposition Mars (!) > over at September 5th
Begu plays another Virgo, Olga Govortsova (WTA 68, Belarus, 23.08.1988) tonight. Jupiter already passed Olga’s Sun.
Second Round, Begu/Govortsova could confront Virgo and WTA 42, Tsvetana Pironkova (13.09.1987, Bulgaria). Sun conjuncts her Mars on day 7 with a possible 4 th round match against Azarenka on day 7/8. Funny, all those interesting players in the same area of the draw!
Thanks for the info, Patrick. V. helpful. best, Sally
Hi Sally,
Thanks for the predictions of the US Open 2015.
According to you, the astrology is pointing to a new name on the trophy. However, I am surprised that you have not included Nishikori in the list of the best of the rest.
Regards,
Shrini
hi Shrini, the players who appear on the best of the rest are the ones whose astrology stands out. Nishikori’s didn’t. Nothing about his playing ability, simply the ones who leap out astrologically. Hope that explains. best, Sally
Thanks Sally, Nishikori’s exit in the first round explains it all. Spot on this…Regards, Shrini
🙂
Dear Sally,
I am a member on another thread on Roger forum and there is a thread on Astrology. A lady is a student in Astrology.
She said Roger is a strongly Uranian individual and has got a lot of Uranus in his birth chart.
Regards
Roger has a Moon/Uranus conjunction in Scorpio but otherwise not particularly Uranian in my opinion. Uranus rules Aquarius so if he was Aquarius rather than Leo, perhaps and you’d want to see it close to his Ascendant/Midheaven for him to be Uranian. I’m hoping he plays well though. best, Sally
Hi Sally,
Great,many lovers for roger,roger fans are too excited and happy.he wins cincinatti this year and good in hard court but he will not take in trophy but for sure he will reach quater final,regarding other big four either djoker or rafa in semifinal,djoker always show best performance when the year starts once wimbledon finish he exhausted that is the history,Andy is okay but not in grand stand level.so the i agree a new face will win the us open else as usuall i always go with rafa.
thanks and warm regards,
G saravanan.
Roger will reach further than Quarter Final! Nadal might not reach there!
Carry on writing Roger off at your own peril. I am sick and tired of people writing him off.
Thanks for your comment. Looking forward to the tennis. best, Sally
Sarvanan…
You really make me laugh…..
Isn’t a scorpio ascendant ruling planet pluto?
Pluto is Scorpio’s modern ruling planet. I always work with the traditional planets when using charts to make a symbolic prediction. Mars is Scorpio’s traditional ruler. Hope that helps. best, Sally
Lots of big names already going out and Sally said things will not be as straightforward as they appear. Nishikori out in the first round. Wow.
I am expecting more surprises. Nishikori was one of the top seeds I believe? best, Sally
Dear Sally,
Thank you for replying to my post.
What you are saying that Berdych got better Astrology than Roger if they meet next Wednesday?
This is not good for Roger isn’t it if he meets Berdych.
I am Sad now that your prediction for Roger might be wrong but I am hoping that you might be right on Roger.
Roger has now entered his new Solar Return, will that help Roger?
Kind Regards
Dear Sally,
What I could gather from your opinion on Nadal is that although his astrology is good during US Open, because of his lack of form, Nadal is unlikely to progress far. Nadal has now beaten Bona Coric showing good form. Could Nadal find his lost form during US Open and spring a surprise ?
Nadal still seems to be struggling physically which astrologically shows as the tough Saturn transit of his 1st house (physical body). He even had stomach problems during the 1st round match he won against Coric. So to overcome that, even with Jupiter in his success sector, seems to be really hard work for him. I would love to see him doing well but the reality is he’s still coming back to peak fitness or at least that’s how it seems. He might surprise us at the US Open but I’m not counting on it. best, Sally
Hi Sally
Just to let you know Monfils is out. Retired in the third set.
Kind Regards
I saw that and Coric defeated by Nadal – two of my ‘Virgos’ – Monfils, Sun Virgo; Coric, Mars Virgo. Will be interesting to see if one of the Virgos does well. best, Sally
Hi Sally,
As I have mentioned to you before that I am a member of RF forum and there is a lady who is a student of Astrology. This is what she said about Roger for USO:
For the whole tournament, of course, we will be looking for the expression of what I’d consider to be two huge factors. Roger’s progressed Midheaven career factor is almost exactly squaring his Jupiter. Will this bring “seeking the impossible” or will Jupiter, even in challenging aspect, bring career success? Could express either way. It may be this factor that expressed so well at Cinci. And then the solar eclipse of Sept. 13 conjunct Roger’s progressed Sun career indicator and his Venus “benefic” which could bring him success all tournament. An eclipse is a wildcard, can express in either a positive or negative way, but I’m hoping this one could bring Roger success with its conjunction to progressed Sun/Venus.
What do you think of this Sally about the MIdheaven squaring to his Jupiter which is almost exact during USO? Can the positive transit outweigh this big progression in Roger Birth Chart?
Kind Regards
Thank you.
I mentioned progressed Ascendant conjunct his Jupiter in my article. At the same time, you always have your progressed Midheaven square your Jupiter which is what Roger’s experiencing right now. It’s got to add a little luck to the mix in my opinion, although I think it was the Mars transit to his natal Mercury which helped him at Cincinnati. I don’t really hold with looking at eclipses on progressed planets as your astrologer is. There are other factors which are more important in my opinion but it’s good that she feels positive about Roger? best, Sally
The moon ends up conjunct Uranus. This reminds me of Roland Garros this year when the last and final aspect of the moon during the debut of the tournament was also with Uranus. This means the favorites will not win. Just like none of the favorites won Roland Garros this year, none of the favorites will win the USO this year. Another surprise winner like at Roland Garros this year.
Alex
I have re-read that Astrology for French Open. Uranus was connected to Aries. Reading Stan the man chart it was strongef for Stan. Looking at USO chart it looks like Roger got strong links with the tournament chart and he is not counted as one of the favourites by a lot of people. A lot of people voted for Novak and Murray!
hi Roger’s fan, butting in to your reply to Alex. Yes, it partly depends on whether you think Roger is the ‘favourite’ or not. He is one of the top 3 for sure but I always think of the favourite as the no. 1 seed, i.e. Djokovic, personally. best, Sally
hi Alex, that’s what we have to predict from the Moon/Uranus – agreed. Plus not only is Mars, ruler 1st house (favourite), close to the Midheaven but so is Venus, ruler of 7th house (non-favourite), again suggesting an upset for the top seed. best, Sally
None of the favorites won Roland Garros this year. Djokovic, Murray, Nadal and Federer all lost at Roland Garros this year. All because of Uranus…. Same story at the USO this year. None of the favorites will win.
A surprise winner is someone like Wawrinka or Cilic. Not saying either will win but a surprise winner is never a big name….. None of the big names will win,
That’s what I’m thinking too, Alex. I count out the big four of Djokovic, Federer, Murray and I’d still include Nadal in there. For the past umpteen number of years they have been the ones we’ve expected to win. I think the astrology is pointing to a name not on that list as a ‘surprise’ winner. Although if Nadal wins, that would definitely surprise me and many people right now because of his recent form. best, Sally
This is key.
Sally said,
“For the men, Venus suggests the non-favourite.”
“I’m particularly interested in the Virgos/players with key planets in Virgo now that Jupiter, the success planet, is boosting their sign.”
Alex
Roger has got Virgo in his chart plus Venus and Mars conjuction.
Monfils is a virgo and he lost!
Alex. Sally is not sure but Roger’s astrology is linked to the tournament chart. Novak might reach the final as his draw has opened up and has not got many Virgo’s players in his half. Murray got them. Roger got one of them and that is Berdych.
Someone on another forum said Gulbis or Berdych are the dark horses for this tournament.
We have to wait and see what ghe outcome. Uranus was stronger at the French Open than USO!
It’s not just about Uranus but what Sally said about Venus….
“For the men, Venus suggests the non-favourite.”
Yes, the two together – Moon final aspect to Uranus; the Venus (non-favourite) prominent as well as the Mars (favourite) and both applying to Uranus.
Uranus was stronger in the French Open chart. You’re right and it was linked in directly to Stan’s chart. Interesting that on another forum, Gulbis and Berdych are being mentioned. Both on my ‘dark horse’ list. Can’t wait to see how it all plays out. best, Sally
It’s not just Virgo players BUT players wit KEY planets in Virgo.
Alex.
Roger has got Virgo in his chart which his Asscendant!
Juan Cruz is predicting the USO winner will NOT be Djokovic or Federer.

Thanks for posting Juan Cruz’ comments, Alex. Always keen to hear what he has to say. Not Djokovic or Federer, interesting. best, Sally
Today began the US Open and Nishikori was eliminated in the first round debut When you have all the cards will give my prediction. But anticipating the champion for me not out of Djokovic or Federer.
This is what Juan said! By google translate.
Oh well we have to wait for Roger to get his 18th. Why can’t Roger have Serena’s luck? Totally unfair! ????????????????
The women’s tennis is a different game altogether. The big four (men) have all had the other three of the big four to contend with at different times during their careers so they have taken it in turns to shine. They have to work extra hard to win whereas Serena’s opposition comes and goes, or so it seems. You can’t just put it down to luck though, she’s a formidable player and never ever gives up. I love her for that 🙂
el campeon para mi no sale de Djokovic o Federer.
the champion for me does not come out of Djokovic or Federer.
I wonder who Juan pick! It might be Berdych who has got good Astrology! So, Sally predicition might be right for the champion. It will not be Murray either.
Wonder who will win USO?
A Virgo player or someone with KEY planets in Virgo.
You don’t have to be a Virgo to have KEY planets in Virgo.
I wonder who! The players I know are Virgo’s are Monfils, Gulbis and Berdych.
It could be a new American star! I love to know. Sally, said the age as well.
Hola!
La traducción de Google no es exacta amigo!!
Yo dije en Foro Astrodestino: “el campeon es Djokovic o Federer. El campeon será alguno de ellos”
Cuando hayan debutado todos, doy mi predicción final
Hi All
This is what Juan said
The Google translation is not exact friend!
I said astrodestino Forum: “the champion Djokovic is Federer. The champion will be one of them”
When they have all debuted, I give my final prediction.
Looks like we got is translation wrong. I hope it will be Federer. Waiting for Juan predicition.
Kind Regards
Hi Sally
Gulbis is out! Retired from his match.
Kind Regards
The problem is you also predicted that Murray would win Wimbledon….
hi Juan Cruz, hope all is well and thank you for clarification. You’re prediction either Djokovic or Federer to win. best, Sally
Nobody saw Cilic winning the USO last year. Could be anyone,
Yup. A surprise winner that no-one knows. Could be a new star!
Hi Sally,
thanks a lot for another Grand Slam prediction! It’s nice to read that you can imagine a new champ as already been the case last year.
I have seen that Roger has Mercury Square his Mars in the final and Uranus Opposition Pluto. Beginning the second week he has Jupiter square his MC, but already decreasing in the final.
Andy Murray has Jupiter square his MC in the final exact yet. Remember that Roger profitated in the Wimbledon final 2012 that Jupiter went over his MC first then as both MCs in Gemini are only 1,37 degrees apart (Roger 6,08’/Andy 7.45′). Will this be Andy’s compensation giving him the title? He will have Jupiter Pluto Sextile (1′ apart), Sun trine his natal Moon and Moon square his natal Mars.
Djoker has also Jupiter Pluto Sextile (0,4 apart) and Uranus conjunct his Jupiter.
Moreover I looked at rising youngster Dominic Thiem, who you have listed in your prediction as interesting Virgo. Thiem personally gave German sports astrologer Janis Okun a birth time “in the night”. Jannis calculates with a rectified time 1:26 h.
Dominic’s Venus conjuncts the Leo tournament MC. Beside his Sun near progressing Jupiter, his Mercury is als in Virgo – you have already pointed out. Starting tonight Thiem has Uranus square Uranus and possibly still Uranus Opposing his Jupiter and Mars. Also there’s Pluto Jupiter square and Pluto Mars square as Mon conjunct his Moon (3′ apart). A lot of Uranus: will Dominic be a big surprise?
He’s won three tournaments this year, two of them in a row a few weeks ago. But I guess Andy will be too tough for him in the fourth round. In the final Dominic
‘s Jupiter and Mars would be near the MC in Libra. But he would also have Mars Opposition Saturn.
Seems to be a more exciting Slam than the recent Wimbledon from today’s view.
Best regards,
Patrick
Hi Patrick
Thank you for posting this! It looks like Murray, Nadal, Novak and Federer are not going to win USO!
It is interesting about Thiem who is on Murray side of the draw. We have to see how Thiem will do and many others with Virgo in their charts.
Out of all the players who do you think will win USO?
Kind Regards
Thanks for your comment. I have no precise idea as all of us, thinking about a new face. Dominic Thiem is an upcoming guy and Jupiter seems to support him since a few weeks. But I can’t imagine him winning against Murray or coming to the final. Last year, Cilic was someone who already messed with the great ones. Thiem once has beaten Wawrinka, that’s it so far. Who else? Berdych never realize his potential when it came to the end at Grand Slams.
Thanks for your comments, Patrick, and passing on the rectified time for Dominic Thiem. It puts his Venus at 7 Leo in his 2nd house which links to the Midheaven point of the tournament chart – should be good for him financially. He’s still a youngster (22 on Thursday) so will be intrigued to see how far he progresses up to his Jupiter return – Jupiter in Libra in 2 years time and Jupiter rules his Pisces Midheaven so his career planet. Jupiter conjunct his Sun/Mercury Virgo planets has got to be helpful though before then. best, Sally
Hi Sally,
people this time are actually expecting Roger to win this time because of his recent form. With Novak, you never know. He can struggle against Andy or Rafa. About Novak’s chart, is it simply uninteresting like no positive planets etc. ?
Many thanks 🙂
The favorites to win according to all betting sites are Djokovic and Serena,
Hi Alex
Like I said that Djokovic is the favourite. Roger is not the favourite. That what I kept saying!
Kind Regards
I think they have to go with the no. 1 seeds, don’t they the betting sites? It would make sense for them financially. best, Sally
Sally is going with surprise winner this time.
Hi Alex
We have to wait and see what the tournament brings and who got the strongest Astrology.
Kind Regards.
Sally has been spot on this year.
Predicted Djokovic for AO and Wimbledon and a surprise for RG. Now she picks a surprise at the USO.
Yes, thanks Alex. It’s been a good run so far. There’s always a part of me thinking that it can’t continue but who knows. I must trust myself more 🙂 best, Sally
Hi Alex
She has picked either surprise or Federer winning it.
Kind Regards
It would be wonderful for the sport if Federer won his 18th slam at the USO this year.
A player that has not won a slam in 3 years is definitely NOT going as the favorite…
Yes, agreed. Federer would be a surprise winner as would Nadal. Djokovic is the clear favourite, even if his progress coming into the US Open wasn’t ideal. best, Sally
Roger’s fan
Federer winning a slam at the age of 34 would be considered a surprise.
Hi Sally
Juan has made his prediction but he said it was difficult. He thinks that Djokovic will win as he got better Astrology than Roger. Oh great that Djokovic is going to win. ????????????????????
@Juan Cruz
The problem is you also predicted that Murray would win Wimbledon….
So, who is right?
Sally or Juan?
Sally has been more accurate at the slams this year than Juan….
Hi All
This is Juan prediction????????????????????. Djokovic is going to win USO.
Here I go with my prediction of US Open 2015. The letter tournament start has a MC in Leo and what stands out is the conjunction Mars – Venus to 15 ° Leo . Abounds Leo in the letter initial, for me it talks about one of the favorites will be the champion. So I said that for me the champion or Djokovic or Federer. Coincidentally, the Serbian has its Ascending native to 13º Leo and Federer has its Sun home to 15 degrees of Leo . Both have sensitive points of his native connected with the letter tournament debut. Now, who will be the champion of the two? For me it is very difficult because both have very good evidence of success. Djokovic has excellent Lunar revolution where the Moon – regent I RL is left in the X and Jupiter that rules the MC moon is trine to Venus hometown. And we know the importance of Venus in the natal Djokovic (regency and presence in the MC). Above Venus moon is left attached to Ascending Natal. So for my runs with slight advantage. Federer? Your Lunar revolution is not as good as Djokovic, but not so bad (Venus, Sun and Jupiter in V Trine Mercury – Moon but squaring Saturn – Sun ). But Federer has two excellent directions that allowed, for example, earn Cincinnati: 1) Mercury conjunction Venus (symbolic address by 1 = 1 year) 2) Ascending progressed conjunction Saturn natal Jupiter (for primary directions) If I look at the letters debuts Djokovic has the best of the tournament. Just the PF (14º Leo ) drops him over his Ascendant home, that can be decisive. While Federer is not that high (Jupiter combust and exiled). But I found that debuts letters are not the most important. And if we look at solar revolutions, there Federer lead part (already discussed both in this forum). For the final, 13/9, Jupiter will be the 7th Virgo : Still trigono closed to Venus Djokovic. And Venus ? On the 15th of Leo , partil to Sol Roger. I’m not able to opt for one or the other, I will not be up to this time. That will be more important ?: , Revolution Lunar, Transits and Charter debut? o Solar & Directions Revolution? I wish the latter, but for me a 55% Djokovic -. 45% Federer Greetings
Kind Regards
Thanks for posting the translation although the translation of astrology is never easy to understand! Plus, Juan Cruz is using a different chart for Djokovic than the one I use. He’s going for the Leo Ascendant and I prefer the Capricorn Ascendant so for me, Djokovic’ chart has no connection with the Leo planets/angles in the tournament chart. Another reason I’m counting him out although he is always the one to beat. best, Sally
But Juan predicted Murray would win Wimbledon. That’s the problem. Sally has a better record this year at predicting the slams.
http://www.sallykirkman.com/blog/the-mens-tennis-wimbledon-2015#comment-282873
What’s worse is that Juan said this during Wimbledon
Y por el lado de Djokovic, como dije, inició una RS con oposicion Sol-Saturno. Ya dije que esto le bajará el rendimiento y le será dificil ganar un GS bajo este periodo. Miren lo que le pasó en RG 2015, llegaba como maximo favorito pero Saturno ya empezó a mostrar su verdad. Puede hacer un buen Wimbledon pero para mi no lo ganará y capaz Wawrinka sea una sorpresa y llegue a la final porque lo veo con una buena revolucion lunar.
And on the side of Djokovic, as I said, he began with an RS Sun-Saturn opposition. I said that this will lower the performance and will be difficult to win a GS under this period. Look what happened in RG 2015, he came as top seed but Saturn has begun to show its truth. You can make a good Wimbledon but for my win and can not be a surprise and Wawrinka reach the final because I see a good lunar revolution.
Alex
They said that Djokovic would not win anymore Grand Slams this year. I am more confused who is right and who is wrong. I hope that Sally is right about Roger. Sally said that Novak has not got any Leo or Virgo in his chart by Juan said that he has. It makes no sense what so ever.
Regards
hi, just replied to a previous comment regarding this. Juan and I are using different charts for Djokovic. Djokovic is a Capricorn Ascendant in my opinion so Saturn is his friend. He’s not a Leo Ascendant but other astrologers disagree. best, Sally
Maxi agrees with Juan prediction. Maxi was wrong with his prediction for Wimbledon. So, looks like that they have changed their minds that Novak.got good Astrology. Roger Astrology is not good enough for him to win USO.
Have I seen Maxi prediction? Not sure. Yes, I do think they didn’t like Djokovic’ Solar Return for this year (Sun opposite Saturn) but it’s never the first astrology I use for predictions. I prefer transits to the actual birth charts and the symbolism of the tournament chart. best, Sally
Basically Juan has gone from saying that it will be difficult for Djokovic to win a slam during the 2015-2016 solar return year but now he is predicting the opposite. Too much contradiction.
Alex,
Sally said that Djokovic has not got good Astrology but Juan said he has due to Venus. It makes no sense. I do not understand it.
Do you?
Roger’s fan
All I know is that Sally has been better at predicting the slams this year than Juan.
It looks like that Juan does not agree with Sally’s prediction.
Sally, do you understand what Juan is saying. He thinks it will be Novak not Roger. He thinks that Novak chart is better than Roger’s. Novak draw has opened up.
Regards
Djokovic is always hard to beat – he’s a fighter. Juan & I are using different birth charts for him. Depends which you agree with. best, Sally
Hola.
“Roger’s fan” tranquilizate un poco. Parece que no leiste bien mi predicción. Utilicé %%% porque no estoy tan seguro y las cosas estan muy parejas. Dije 55% Djokovic – 45% Federer. Te parece poco para Roger? Si me equivoqué cuando le di 100% a Murray en Wimbledon, mirá si no me puedo equivocar ahora que sólo di 10% de diferencia.
Por otra parte, yo dije que la RS de Djokovic era mala porque tenía Saturno opuesto al Sol. Y dije que eso le iba a impedir ganar un GS en este periodo. Pero sucede que no yo tuve en cuenta algo positivo que tenía esa RS: Jupiter solar en el Ascendente natal (13º Leo). Eso le permite a Djokovic ganar algun GS en este periodo.
Y lo negativo que prometía Saturno oposición Sol? Pues eso fue la catastrofica derrota que sufrió Djokovic en su tan anhelado Roland Garros. La decepción que prometía Saturno-Sol en su revolución solar se cumplió en Paris, donde no pudo ganar el Grand Slam que más quiere ganar.
Solamente eso? No. Djokovic cortó su racha victoriosa en Masters 1000, perdio finales vs Murray y Federer (Montreal y Cincinnati). Rompio raqueta luego de muchos años, a caso no es eso la frustración de Saturno oposición Sol? Yo creo que seguirá teniendo una temporada por debajo de lo esperado, lejos de los 4GS que se esperaban.
Y yendo al tema natal de Djokovic, Sally considera una carta con Asc Capricornio. Yo tomo una carta con Asc 13º Leo, con Venus en el MC.
Es muy dificil comunicarse en otro idioma, porque el Google Traductor no traduce la misma idea. Espero se haya entendido.
Saludos
Thanks Juan, I’m adding the translation of your comment here. Yes, I’ve been replying to comments saying that we are using different birth charts so we’re not going to have the same prediction for Djokovic. And yes, you are right, that he’s not had the best year so he is being affected by Saturn opposite the Sun. Hope that helps others to understand. best, Sally
…
“Roger’s fan” calm down a little. It seems that my prediction did not read well. I used %%% because I’m not so sure, and things are very even. 55% said Djokovic – Federer 45%. Roger’s not enough? If I was wrong when I gave 100% to Murray at Wimbledon me see if I can not go wrong now I just gave 10% difference.
Furthermore, I said that the RS Djokovic was bad because Saturn was opposite the sun. And I said that was going to prevent win a GS in this period. But it happens that I had not realized that something positive had that RS: Solar Jupiter in the natal Ascendant (13º Leo). That allows some GS Djokovic win in this period.
And the negative promising Saturn opposition Sun? Well, that was the catastrophic defeat suffered in his long-awaited Djokovic Roland Garros. The disappointment that promised Sun-Saturn in your solar revolution was met in Paris, where he failed to win the Grand Slam you most want to win.
Just that? No. Djokovic cut his winning streak in Masters 1000, lost final and Federer vs Murray (Montreal and Cincinnati). Racket broke after many years, if not frustration that Saturn opposition Sun? I think we still have a season below expectations, far from the expected 4GS.
And going to the natal Djokovic, Sally found a letter with Asc Capricorn. I take a letter with Asc 13th Leo, Venus in the MC.
It is very hard to communicate in another language, because the Google translator does not translate the same idea. I hope you have understood.”
Sally, my question to you is this: Has Roger or any other player ever won a major with the stars not favouring them at all?
You have to remember, that before his first decline set in, Roger had won five straight US Open titles, with six finals in total (for which he holds a record. He’s the only player to have won five straight at both Wimbledon and USO). He barely lost to Djokovic in semis twice after that but hasn’t done well thereafter. Yes, the courts have also gotten slower but the point is, he knows how to win here. It isn’t like the French Open where the disadvantage is so humongous.
But somehow, it just doesn’t seem to be working out for him.
hi, thanks for your comment. Since I’ve been doing the predictions for the tennis (3 years), even when I’ve got the initial prediction wrong, I’ve always understood the astrology for the victory (so the astrologer is to blame rather than the astrology!). That’s my experience of astrology at least. The difference with Roger right now is his age. He was in his prime when he was unbeatable. Don’t get me wrong though, he’s an awesome tennis player and amazingly so considering he’s 34!, but it’s got to be one of the factors against him now. I’m ever hopeful for Roger as he’s always been one of my favourite players and I do think he deserves to win one more Grand Slam the way he’s been playing over the last year. best, Sally
Hi All
This is what Juan said to us all.
I hope you understand what he said.
Regards
Hello.
“Roger’s fan” diosnillaymi a little. Seems that you do not read well my prediction. I used % because I am not so sure and things are very couples. I said 55% Djokovic – 45% Federer. Do you think little for Roger? If I was wrong when I gave 100% to Murray at Wimbledon, see if I can do no wrong now that I only gave 10% of difference.
I on the other hand, said that the RS of Djokovic was bad because Saturn opposite to the Sun. And I said that that was going to prevent winning a GS in this period. But it happens that not I had in mind something positive had this RS: solar Saturn in the natal ascendant (13 ° Leo). That allows you to Djokovic win some GS in this period.
And negativity that promised Saturn opposition Sun? That was the catastrophic defeat suffered Djokovic in their cherished Roland Garros. The disappointment that promised Saturno-Sol in his solar revolution was in Paris, where failed to win the Grand Slam that most wants to win.
Only that? No. Djokovic cut his winning run in Masters 1000, lost final vs. Murray and Federer (Montreal and Cincinnati). Broken racket after many years, a case that is not the frustration of Saturn opposition Sun? I believe that it will continue to have a season below expectations, away from the 4GS expected.
And going to the birth chart of Djokovic, Sally considered a letter with Capricorn Asc. I took a 13 ° Leo Asc letter, with Venus in the MC.
It is very difficult to communicate in another language, because the Google Translator doesn’t translate the same idea. I hope you understand.
Best regards
Hola Juan
Please forgive us for misundstanding your predicition as we are using translator on the internet and sometimes the words get mixed up!
Kind Regards
Hi Sally, some new observations:
I considered Wawrinka as he has partly similiar constellations as at his French Open triumph. Then, his natal conjunction Mercury/Venus was conjunct with the tournament midheaven added by a direct hit of Uranus at Ariens 19°35. Also he had a trine of planet of surprises: Uranus Uranus. In the final, Jupiter trined Uranus, in conjunction of Wawrinka`s Mercury and Venus.
This time, Wawrinka`s Mercury and Venus again is conjunct by Uranus at 19°53. And again: Uranus trine Uranus. The tournament`s Mars/Venus combination opposing his Jupiter. Evil to him who evil thinks 🙂 In the final, this time it lacks Jupiter trine, but Mercury opposes this combination of planets, exactly Stan`s Mercury.
He would be my man as he already proved twice. But there`s one thing that makes me doubt severly: Stan was far from his best at Cincinatti kcocked down 6-4,6-1 by Djoker. These days he had his Saturn Return what maybe the reason for his shaky game which proceeds at yesterday`s match at NYC. Stan could manage Ramos-Vinolas, but still had huge problems with his game. He appears very confused and unsure of his game – totally different from Roland Garros and with devastating mishits throughout the match and throwing away the racket. Or is it a combination with Neptun 4 degrees from his MC irritating him? Unless the reason for that doesn`t fade away very quickly he may move out at the latest against Murray.
Would be nice to hear your opinion, Sally.
Right now, it`s hard for myself imagining names as surprise winner this time, moreover Djoker and Roger started fabulously in the tournament. In Cincinatti, Roger`s Sun and Mercury already were closed between Mars and Venus, the four planets concentrating even more this monday. Also the final`s MC from Cincinatti was opposing Roger`s AC.
Is it Tsonga who started as stunning as Roger/Djoker? He has Jupiter Opposition Mars/Venus and Jupiter sextile Pluto, Mars trine Uranus during the next rounds. In the final: Mars Mars sextile (1° apart) and Mercury trine Jupiter (2°). It lacks Uranus as with Stan or Thiem. Saturn only moved about 3 degrees from his natal position. As with Berdych he could never prove to be an honest aspirant to a GS title so far especially from a mental point of view. Tsonga no candidat for me as a surprise winner.
Correction: MC opposing Roger`s AC at Cincinatti is wrong. Sorry.
hi Patrick, thanks for your explanations. In my opinion, the Uranus transit is too wide for Wawrinka. He started the tournament with Uranus at 20 Aries and I often find with Uranus that it works to exactitude. Uranus will retrograde back exact over his natal Mercury/Venus in October 2015.
I think the Uranus transits aren’t just about his surprise Grand Slam win though, it’s also his personal life as Venus rules relationships. He has a lot of upheaval going on behind the scenes which also fits the Uranus symbolism. His Saturn return finished last year, 2014, so also not relevant for this year’s predictions.
best, Sally
Hi Sally,
thanks for your reply again! So Wawrinka should play no serious role as you can already see on the court.
You say his Saturn Return finished last year, Saturn was conjunct exactly on his Natal position about two weeks ago?! Do I misinterpret the term?
His Saturn is 27 Scorpio 46 and Saturn got back to 28 Scorpio 17 before turning direct early August 2015. I’d forgotten it got back that far so yes, it would have been activated again this year but his main Saturn return was the end of 2014 when it was an exact transit. I use a 1 degree orb for transits to planets. best, Sally
hi people,
Not understanding about the research and the good showing tennis player will win the crown,now serena and rafa producing good quality tennis and they have a good chance to win the title.
Thanks and warm regarding,
G Saravanan
The bottom line is that Sally is predicting an upset for the top seed. We will have to stay tuned.
I wonder which top seed she predicts? Novak draw is opened. They might well give the trophy to Novak.
Roger got a tougher draw.
Exactly! No more top seeds have gone so far though, only Nishikori. best, Sally
Roger’s fan
Read her messages. She is predicting Serena will win but Djokovic won’t.
Hi Sally,
What do you think of Simona Halep astrology? I think if she were to meet Serena in the final she has the ability to win. The only question is whether her legs will give her problem as in Toronto recently.
hi Mike, Simona Halep is a Sun Libra. She’s just had her Jupiter return (Jupiter 3 Virgo 09) so that’s got to help. No time of birth for her. best, Sally
I might be wrong but I thought all of these predictions were interpretations of what people are seeing. They might be right and they might be wrong but that’s what predictions are. I think the real question is whether Roger will ever win another slam and no one can say what the future holds for him but even when he has good astrology he can still lose. So I think we get caught up too much in astrology sometimes, and we should just watch what unfolds.
“So I think we get caught up too much in astrology sometimes, and we should just watch what unfolds”…..aaaaaah thank you Lisa!!!
🙂
Thanks for your comment, Lisa. Yes, it’s interesting isn’t it that we all approach astrology in different ways. Some people are very thorough and detailed and other people use it but in a way that flows. We’re all different. You’re right, there’s no definitive answer – you take your chances and when your fortunes are being boosted, make the most of them 🙂 best, Sally
Hi lisa
I got faith in Roger that he can win his 18th even the tournament chart is linked to his Astrology. Fed fans got hope that Roger can pull it off. I just want Roger tpnshut up the critics.
May Roger’s astrology be right that he wins USO and break the record.
Hi Roger fan,
we need to wait for some time that how much days roger could stays in usa.
again im telling u rafa and serena will win this year uso
thanks and warm regards,
g saravanan.
Isn’t Rafa always your prediction? 🙂 best, Sally
Sally,
Thank you for the update. Your interest and expertise is helpful and fun. I hope for Roger and Serena to win. I wish them and you well.
Mac
Thanks Mac. Appreciated. best, Sally
Hi Sally,
you wrote that “..Mars is the favourite/Venus is the non-favourite so therefore it’s not a yes for Djokovic to win as it was at Wimbledon.”
So there`s a 50/50 chance for the favorite to win besides of the fact that the Moon hits Uranus?
German astrologist Thorsten Krawinkel also included Venus, as ruler of the Wimbledon final 2015`s AC (Libra), conjunct star “Regulus” in his prediction for Djokovis win. Moreover he saw that Venus (his natal Venus and ruler of house 10 closed to Becker`s MC) conjuncted star “Princeps” when he won Wimbledon first back in 1985, Krawinkel says Princeps embodying “THE FIRST” (Michael Schumacher has his Mars on it and Putin his AC). Apart from the fact, that Krawinkel obviously made a mistake and this hadn´t been the fact in 1985, I have seen that the US Open 2015 tournament start`s AC (1°57 Scorpio) conjuncts Princeps (3° Scorpio). What could this mean? Will the favorite be the first??
Krawinkel used the AC`s ruling planet representing the favorite in theWimbledon final, but used the ruler of the midheaven/house 10 as representation of the favorit in the opening chart of Wim` 2015: “the opening chart shows Mercury as ruler of house 10 at the peak of house 10 – the king remains king.” I remember your argumentation was again, that Mercury as ruler of the AC (Virgo) was crucial representing the favorit. Can you follow Krawinkel`s approach? Thanks again for your short assessment!
Best, Patrick
hi Patrick, thanks for providing more astro-information. Always interesting to read. I only use a few of the fixed stars and again it’s a secondary factor for me when it comes to making predictions. No, I wouldn’t say there’s a 50/50 chance for the favourite to win. The astrology points to a non-favourite, an outsider. Hope that helps. best, Sally
Thanks Sally for your explanation!! ????????
Two more Virgo players competing with Serena:
-German Sabine Lisicki (WTA 24, 22.09.1989)
Sabine has already shown her great potential at Wimbledon 2013 beating Serena and reaching the final. She has a devastating serve and good groundstrokes. The only thing preventing her from the Top 10 seems to be mental. This year she has shown better results than last year, f.e. had matchpoints against Bencic in Toronto before the Swiss could win the tournament. Good start on Tuesday, but I think not already matured for a GS title.
-Another German, Andrea Petkovic (WTA 18, 09.09.1987)
Reaching semi-finals of Roland Garros last year and already Top 10, she is supported by Boris Becker (occasionally) since some weeks.
Serena is more likely to win the USO than Djokovic because of their records in the tournament.
Djokovic is 1-4 while Serena is 6-2 at the USO in finals.
Interesting balance of Novak..
Hi Sally,
Could you please tell me what you think of what my friend who is a student of Astrology on RF. com page.
Here what she said:
If I understand correctly, Sally is pretty much expecting a new men’s winner at this USO. I think she is basing that on the importance of Uranus in the chart for the beginning of the tournament. I’m hoping that Roger’s sabr could represent the Uranian newness instead of a new champion. Uranus can express as innovation and genius. And I disagree with Sally about Roger and Uranus. She doesn’t see him as strongly Uranian, but I think he is. Uranus is stationary in his birthchart. That means it was at a point of changing from retrograde to direct motion, seeming to stand still in the sky. That makes it powerful. Also, his Moon is conjunct Uranus. The Moon can represent one’s instincts, and I think Roger’s Moon conjunct Uranus is part of his genius. And then, let’s look at the year 2009, when Roger won RG and then Wimbledon to break Sampras’ record for GS titles. Uranus was strong for him then, with transiting Jupiter, Neptune, Chiron, and yes, Uranus, making aspects to his natal Uranus.
So, I’m hoping Roger with his sabr can be the Uranian winner. But could it be a new men’s champion instead? Yes. We just have to wait and see. Of course we hope it will be Roger!
It seems Juan thinks Djoko will win, but he gives Roger a decent chance, based on his analysis of various factors.
I am optimistic for Roger’s chances to win this tournament. I think, based on what we saw in Cinci, there’s a good chance his progressed Midheaven square to Jupiter can express in success rather than “seeking the impossible.” I think we may be seeing this factor in his new sabr. Though a square can be difficult, with Jupiter involved, it can express in success. We’ll just have to wait and see how things go.
Same with the solar eclipse. I think the Sept. 13 eclipse could power Roger the whole way through the tournament and bring him the title. It is conjunct his progressed Sun career factor along with his Venus “benefic.” But there’s no way to know for sure if it will express this way or whether some other factors will be more important.
I am optimistic for Roger’s chances to win the title. I think the eclipse and the Midheaven/Jupiter are huge factors, and if they express well, things could be great for our guy!
What about Richard Gasquet Astrology – he got to play against Berdych in the fourth round?
Kind Regards
Well, that’s his/her opinion but I still don’t agree that Roger is Uranian. Uranus is erratic, unpredictable, disruptive and those qualities aren’t part of the graceful, fluid game of Roger or his charming personality. He oozes Mercury in Leo charm; he comes across as smooth and suave so I don’t see what your astrologer sees. Uranus is conjunct the Moon so it’s linked to his emotional life, both planets in Scorpio, and you can tell there is an incredible depth of concentration below the surface. Perhaps inside he’s jumpy as anything but you rarely see that on the outside. The other factors might help boost Roger to success.
Gasquet’s astrology didn’t leap out at me. Hope that helps. best, Sally
Hi Sally again,
This more about potential Quarter Final between Roger VS Berdych astrology.
If the eclipse expresses well for him, Berdych could be a powerful opponent. The eclipse lights up his chart strongly.
But it’s also strong for Roger. And if Roger’s Midheaven/Jupiter expresses well, it could bring success. And it’s nearly exact!
I hate to mention it, but it looks like transiting Mars will be in range of the square to Roger’s Moon during the QF. This could bring a tough challenge.
But the transiting Sun could be within range of Roger’s Venus, and that’s a positive. And transiting Mercury sextile his Mercury could help with strategy and execution.
Transiting Jupiter square Roger’s Midheaven. This is interesting because it basically repeats Roger’s progressed Midheaven square his Jupiter. Will it bring “seeking the impossible” and something too much to handle, or will it bring Jupiterian success? Could express either way!
Well, let’s see how things go. It could be interesting!
Kind Regards
There are always many different factors to consider in astrological prediction and always therefore contradictions in what one factor says against another. That’s the skill in astrology to hone in on what’s most important and back that up with other secondary factors. Eclipses are tricky in my opinion. They can propel you to success but they can just as easily take something away too. n.b. the world ‘eclipse’ – someone or something is being eclipsed. best, Sally
Hi All,
This is for those who love Roger,
Let’s look at some factors in effect for Roger’s next match, vs. Darcis.
I think this should be a good day for Roger, with the transiting Sun conjunct his Ascendant. “A positive approach” says http://www.astro.com. “Today you will be able to project yourself with vigor and energy… you take control of whatever situation you are involved in and make it work the way you want it to.” This should be an excellent transit for sports performance.
Transiting Mercury will be separating from the conjunction to Roger’s Jupiter, but still within range. This could be good for strategy and execution of shots. The only caveat is too avoid getting sloppy by being too exuberant or overconfident.
The transiting Moon will be conjunct Roger’s Chiron early in the match. Hopefully this won’t bring “wounding.” It’s a minor transit. It could express with something in the crowd, or we may not see any expression of it at all.
GO ROGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kind Regards
It’s interesting that the transiting moon will be in Virgo the day of the USO final this year.
Yes, it is Alex. Virgo planets are building on the day of the final due to the Solar Eclipse in Virgo and Jupiter in Virgo too. That was part of the reason why I felt we would see players with Sun Virgo/other key planets and angles in Virgo coming forward. best, Sally
Dear Patrick Rudolf
I hope you don’t mind me asking this, what is your thoughts on Roger Federer chart for USO?
Do you think he has got a chance to win USO? Sally thinks so as he got good transits that are matching to the tournament chart but his draw is a lot harder than Djokovic who will be in the final already!
Kind Regards
Hi Roger’s Fan,
thanks for your interest in my opinion about Roger.
When it comes to astrology I am only a passionate observer, no expert. Following Sally’s predictions since a couple of Grand Slams I trust her analysis very much and Sally says good things about Roger this time from this astrologic point of view.
Adding the physical and mental influences of player’s performances my feeling is contrary. On the one hand, Roger played huge at Cincinatti and seems to have conserved his form as his first round match against Mayer showed, who is a strong player.
Comparing oRoger’s performance at Master tournaments and Grand Slams in recent years, I have doubts that he will get the 18th trophy now. As Sally also points out, he’s 34 and at Grand Slam level he couldn’t finish as strong as on best-of-3 at Masters tournaments in the past.
Be added that from these outgoings and many upsets (in the final rounds) of recent Grand Slam events – especially when he faces the Djoker – he seems to have developed a certain disbelieve of being able to finish first. I think this is also connected to the physical factor – on this high level against Djokovic to win a 4 or 5-Setter in his age puts great mental pressure ongim, probably being aware of his disadvantage. Grass is different, not as physical as hardcourt.
Nonetheless many factors as his astrology appear to speak for him now and I think it IS possible though. If everything comes together… Yet I personally don’t expect Roger to win. We will see! I would be happy for him!
Best regards,
Patrick
Hi Sally,
As much as I like your site, I find G quite annoying. His last statement in capitals is a testament to his rudeness. It had to be said, unfortunately.
Mac
Hi Mac
I have to agree with you. He is a big fan of Nadal. He says this everytime on Sally site. Infact I find him annoying.
Regards
Yes, I agree. I’m going to delete the comments in capitals. If any more come in, they’re gone. best, Sally
G Saravan, I have already asked you in the Wimbledon block to use small capitals as everybody else does in Sally’s blog. As you can see more users dislike your way presenting here.
Other users’ comments and even Sally’s show you that your predictions are mostly far from tennis reality and very boring to read. They give others no useful information to share at all and appear simply self-presenting. Writing big capitals will not make it more interesting.
Evertbo
Hi,
I understand he is Nadal’s fan and that’s fine–personally, I don’t like Nadal but I choose to be respectful. May the best man win–and hopefully, it is Federer. If not him, Stan would be fantastic. If not him, I would like to see Ferrer win.
Good luck to all the players–sad to see Jack lose to heat exhaustion, though.
Cheers.
Oh, is Jack Sock out? I didn’t know. best, Sally
hi,
im a big fan of nadal it not means nadal will uso,it depends on the player and how they handled the pressure on the court. fedex is exhausted by playing the best tennis for the last one and half decades and djoker is exhausted by playing high quality tennis for the last 8 months.why i choose nadal is because he is highly thirst to win a gs in this year,none of the tennis player in the wrold could do what nadal does and nadal win atleast one gs per year for the last 10 year.he needs to maintain the same in this year.let us see how god choose the best player at the end of the tournament.
Thanks and warm regards,
G Saravanan.
Hi Sally
This is from.Juan friend who agrees with Juan about Djokovic is going to win USO.
I agree that Djokovic will win the US Open. Jupiter arriving already now to the trigone with his natal Venus suggests this degree, and more seeing that the only one who seems that you can fight him is Federer who in his RL has a fairly closed Sol-Saturno quadrature.
The letter in the tournament, is Saturn high in the MC govern the ascendant, joined Moon applying to Mars – Regent of the MC-from the House of Mars – Aries-
FranzuaDubal is currently online
Do u understand this Sally?
Kind Regards.
No! Not a clue – sorry it doesn’t translate very well. best, Sally
G,
You don’t make sense. However, we shall see who will prevail. As of right now, Roger is playing well and so is Novak, even Nadal. Enjoy the beautiful game. Personally, it would be nice to see a different champion win the US Open–Novak won the Australian Open and Wimbledon and Stan won the French Open, so it would be nice to see a different champion appear victorious. Sally mentioned a new name–what does that mean? Well, we’ll know soon enough.
Cheers
Mac
hi sally the uso tournament chart shows the favourite will not win . nadal is by no means the favourite. does that mean nadal can win the uso. what about the chart for the commencement time of the final. you used to base your predictions on this chart also. but you have stopped using it now. why?
The symbolism of the tournament chart has been working best for me so that’s why I use that along with the astrological transits for the players as my main prediction. I always give a nod to the chart of the final, i.e. Moon in Virgo on the day, another reason why I believe Virgo players/players with key planets in Virgo will do well. Nadal’s not the favourite for sure, no. 8 seed; I still believe the astrology speaks of a newer name, someone who’s not won a Grand Slam before or won only 1. Hope that helps. best, Sally
Hi Sally
Here are the players left with Virgo’s birth sign are Lopez, Thiem and Berdych. Could you please tell us which player out of these three have a chance winning USO. Berdych is on Roger half. I hope Roger Astrology can outweigh Berdych’s
Kind Regards
I see Lopez has reached the 4th round – Sun 27 Virgo so not yet benefiting from Jupiter but still progressing well. Berdych was the one to watch as the tournament began as Jupiter was slap bang on his Mars (competitive instinct) but let’s see how Thiem gets on too. I do hope one of the Virgos keeps winning to confirm my prediction 🙂 best, Sally
Hi Mac,
Thanks, i wont say nadal will win because we cant predict what is life if u know what will happen tomorrow then ur life is not so meaningful.but for sure djoker and fedex wont win the tournament.if nadal win i will be happy.even djoker has best drawn he will wind up before thursday.cant u accept what nadal does for tennis.
Thums upppppppppp
g saravanan.
Hi G,
Nadal is not my favourite player, unfortunately. I prefer to keep my reasons to myself. However, I can agree that he brought something different to the game. I feel the same about Novak. Out of the two, I think Novak has a chance to win the US Open but doubtful (relying on Sally’s analysis).
You keep repeating Federer will not win and that’s annoying. You should say that once and leave it at that. I am a fan of his and I hope he does well. He is a class and a great player to watch. However, it would be nice to see a new player come through–who? That remains to be seen.
Cheers,
Marco
Hi,
I am impressed with the women–they are hitting their strides. As for men, they are struggling–Goffin just retired and he was winning and Milos lost because of back injury.
However, the match between Bouchard and Cibulkova was incredibly intense and fun. As for Serena, she is struggling.
US Open is drama-filled and interesting.
Cheers,
Mac
hi Mac, interesting that I read your comment as I am writing about Venus (women) turning direct this weekend. The female planet is very powerful right now so maybe that’s why the women are going great. There do seem to be quite a few injuries this tournament, don’t there, and players retiring? I wonder if this is part of the Uranus effect – shocks & surprises. best, Sally
Hi,
The match between Nadal and Fognini–wow! What a match!!
Cheers,
Mac
Hi All
Nadal is out in five sets. Looks like it was a big match.
Kind Regards
Nadal is out, unfortunately. Good for Fognini for taking huge chances.
Cheers,
Mac
I didn’t see it – the timing’s not great for me in this Grand Slam which is always a shame as I like to watch the big matches. Must do better. Nadal does seem to be playing well again but he’s not back to his past winning form. I do wonder what he will decide if he can’t win a Grand Slam soon. It must be demoralising for him and hard to keep coming back when you’ve been such a champion player previously. best, Sally
Hi Sally,
I don’t know if this is appropriate to ask–how did you come to understand astrology? Can you recommend a reading that would enable me to understand it more?
cheers,
Mac
hi Mac, yes it is appropriate to ask. As you can probably imagine, astrology takes a long time to study well. I was fascinated by it as soon as I discovered it and I trained with the Company of Astrologers in London. They rarely offer courses now but there are plenty of good teachers around if you’re interested. I keep hoping that I will be able to offer an online course but it won’t be this year, maybe I will be able to early next year. You can always sign up for my free monthly newsletter (top right of website). That will keep you informed about what’s going on in the heavens and a lot of people enjoy my astrology because I make it easy to understand. That’s always been my goal, to bring the stars down to earth. Hope that helps but please do ask away if you have any further questions. best, Sally p.s. re. readings – they are more about you and teach you about your natal potential, your strengths & weaknesses, and the events and people in your life. You won’t necessarily learn a great deal about astrology through them but you will develop greater understanding and insight into yourself. I offer readings too and all information is on the website.
G,
It’s good to cheer for your favorite player and seek healthy competition from other fans, but trying to degrade the other players in a public setting is most definitely not advised.
For example, Nadal just fought his heart out against Fognini and lost. I have immense respect for the warrior he is, even though he caused me heart break many times when he beat my idol Federer. However, if I took your approach, I could easily make fun of you right now and ridicule Nadal for losing. But that’s just not how one should operate. Please be more considerate in the future with your posts.
And finally, commiserations for Nadal’s loss. I’m confident he will be back stronger, so just keep your head held high.
Nicely said 🙂 best, Sally
Hi Sally
More interesting Astrology for Roger!
I’ve been thinking about Roger’s match vs. Darcis. He was brilliant! The transiting Sun was on his Ascendant, the rising point of the chart, where one “meets the world.” He did really shine with that Sun factor!
An eclipse is basically a super Sun. The upcoming eclipse will be lighting up Roger’s Venus “benefic” planet along with his progressed Sun, a career factor. And an eclipse brings its energy even before the date of its occurrence.
Now, things aren’t so simple. Sometimes an eclipse expresses in a difficult way. And Roger’s opponents may have excellent factors in effect. But from what we’ve seen so far, I think this eclipse could bring Roger the title!
The other big factor in effect for Roger the whole tournament is his progressed Midheaven career factor square his Jupiter, nearly exact and thus very powerful. Though this could bring “seeking the impossible” it could also express in success, since Jupiter can express that way even in challenging aspect. I hope that’s what we saw in Cinci, and that it can continue to express that way at the USO, when it’s even stronger. The comms have mentioned that the new stadium roof structure is reducing the wind, and this could benefit Roger. I would see that as some Jupiterian good fortune that could be a positive expression of the progression!
So, both these factors, the eclipse and the Midheaven/Jupiter, are very powerful. And both could express with great success, or with limits to success. But since both are so powerful and things are looking so good, I am very hopeful!
Now, of course things will get more difficult as the tournament progresses, tougher opponents. And Roger has some challenging transits coming up. But my hope is that the big factors will continue to express well and power Roger through to the title. Of course I can’t guarantee anything. But it’s wondeRFul to see our guy playing so beautifully and bringing us such excitement!
Kind Regards
Hi All for Roger match today.
Transiting Jupiter is just starting to enter range of the square to Roger’s Midheaven career point. This factor will become much stronger next week. It’s interesting that it basically repeats Roger’s progression that’s now in strong effect, his progressed Midheaven square his Jupiter. A square tends to be a challenging aspect, but with Jupiter involved we can hope for a successful expression. This factor can bring confidence and hopefully success. The caveat is to avoid overconfidence. And hopefully it won’t bring “too much” to handle. Considering how well things went for Roger in Cinci with the progression in strong effect, I’m hopeful the transit will express well or at least not be too much to handle.
For Roger’s next match, the transiting Moon will be square his Venus probably late in the match. This tends to be a pleasant, social transit, even though it’s a square. I suppose the only potential negative would be lack of concentration or maybe an unpleasant social encounter. This is a minor transit and shouldn’t be problematic. Sometimes Moon transits during tennis matches can express with something going on in the crowd. And sometimes we don’t see Moon transits in apparent expression at all.
Well, that’s about all I see in transits for the next match. Of course, the big factors remain in effect for the rest of the tournament, the eclipse and the Midheaven/Jupiter progression.
GO ROGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes it was a big match. Couldn’t take my eyes off the TV. I initially thought Nadal is going to win in straight sets. But Fognini had different ideas. He always broke back when he got broken. Worst year for Nadal in Grandslams. All the best to him next year. Fognini hits breath stopping winners… I thourogly enjoyed his winners
I didn’t see the match. Wish I had. best, Sally
Sorry tennisbuf but I promised to delete all comments in capitals. Yours too. best, Sally
What about STAN WAWRINKA? Sally..!!!!
I have mentioned him somewhere previously in the comments in reply to Patrick I think. He doesn’t have the exact Uranus transits going on which propelled him to victory before so that’s why he wasn’t on my ‘Best of the Rest’ list. He’s turning into a consistently good player though so will always be in with a shout. best, Sally
Surely the uranus influence is not restricted to the sun- sign but to any player with uranus in their chart?? Both Federer AND Murray have Virgo ascendants and I think that the winner might come from one of these two….
I like Dominic Thiem and he’s a virgo – but surely astrology can’t be interpreted literally in this way? Linda Goodman says that ‘the stars pursuade but do not COMPEL…’ I have always felt that astrology only shows what ‘might’ be; not what WILL be. There is room for free-will and alternative choice….
As for an outsider, I would like to ask Sally about the player: Benoit Paire. He is not a virgo – and I have no idea of his chart – but he is performing well and almost beat Djokovic at Cincy recently. He has been under the radar – beat Nishikori and has a real chance. My picks would instinctively be: Federer, Murray – or for an outside punt: Paire….
Hi Lucy,
do you have Paire’s birth time giving him a Virgo MC?
Regarding Uranus, if the final is played at 5 p.m., it’s conjunct with Roger’s Uranus. And Uranus opposes Rogers Pluto. Thiem has Uranus Uranus Trine the whole tournament besides tournament opener’s MC conjunct his Venus (possibly house 2),
Sally, Roger appears to have Pluto opposing his Mars these days? Same as losing against Seppi in Melbourne. Doesn’t seem to bother him this time.
Hi Patrick.
Roger pluto opposing his mars was exact in July. It is now pass exact. Means it is out of range during the USO. Sally said it is exact again in November!
Yep, it was exact when it bothered him earlier this year and the final exact transit is late November 2015. best, Sally
Hi,
No I don’t have the birth-time but read this on an astrology site. They placed this in his chart and I found it interesting. It’s all gobbledegook to me!
hi Patrick, May 8 1989, 9:05 pm, Avignon, France – Paire’s birth data on Astrotheme. Not always 100% accuracy on that site as they don’t often cite their source but it’s worth considering for now.
I don’t understand your Uranus sentence. What is conjunct Roger’s Uranus if the final is at 5pm?
Plus with the outer generational planets, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, you have to remember they are relatively slow moving so you want a very close orb for accuracy with them. Pluto is retrograding away from Roger’s Mars. Yes, it is still within a 1 degree orb as it’s currently at 13 Capricorn 04 and his Mars is at 13 Cancer 57. We did see him being knocked out on a Pluto transit opposing his Mars earlier this year but that was exact.
Again with the Uranus transit it is way too wide to take into account right now. Roger’s Pluto is 21 Libra 56 and the Uranus opposition is over 2 degrees away at 19 Aries 50. So I wouldn’t use either of them in a prediction for this tournament right now.
Thiem is out but he will still have benefited financially (Venus 2nd house ruling money) from getting to the 3rd round.
best, Sally
Hi Sally,
appreciate your insights, thanks again!
Paire has no Virgo MC using Astrotheme’s data.
Yeah, I forgot something: in the final’s chart for 5 p.m. the midheaven conjuncts Roger’s Uranus.
Regarding Djokovic’s Opponents: I think we should consider more Maren Cilic for defending his title. Cilic is not seeded above the best 5, but the fact he has won last year is important from my perspective. Great memories will come up for him these days. He played well at Wimbledon and also in the first 2 rounds, having some problems against a strong Kukushkin (last year his 5 Setter against Simon in Round 4 was his turning point, he didn’t lose one set afterwards).
I recognized Jupiter trine Jupiter in the forthcoming rounds still about 1 degree orb at the final and Mars conjunct Venus at Sunday. Earlier, you said that the surprise winner might be someone who has maximum 1 GS title, Cilic has 1.
Also I have an eye on Fognini with Uranus conjunct Jupiter these days and closest with 0,24 degrees orb at the final. He played brilliantly against Nadal at the end and has abilities regarding his hand in no way inferior to the best (born one/two weeks after Andy and Nole).
Excited what comes next.
I’m sorry, mixed a.m. with p.m. with Paire. Looks stunning Jupiter conjunct his MC.
Regarding Cilic I have seen he had mercury conjunct his Sun at the chart this Monday. When his first match started that day, the midheaven was about 10 degrees apart from his Sun.
Thanks Patrick 🙂
hi Lucy,
Agreed on how astrology works, that’s what is being attempted with these tennis blogs. Are the players in flow with what’s happening in a wider context? As above, so below. Astrology is not a literal science but a symbolic art and the skill to using it is to understand this. We can’t harness it but it can help us understand why and gives us a depth of meaning that takes us beyond the everyday. I love the magic of astrology watching its symbolism in play in the world.
Re. the Uranus aspect, I believe you’re a bit confused? The planets currently have a strong Virgo theme, plus there was a strong Uranus factor in the opening chart. Two separate astrological factors and not related.
I haven’t checked out Donald Young or Benoit Paire yet. I will do when I get a chance. Already Djokovic’ side of the tournament is way open. I can’t see him not being in the final unless something goes wrong and there is an upset. The no. 2, 3, 5, and 6 seeds are in the other half; the top seed he has to face is no. 9!
best, Sally
Just checked and apparently, Paire’s midheaven MC is Virgo…interesting! You heard it here first….
Ooh yes, I’ve found him on Astrotheme.com! A time of birth – glorious. Yes, you’re right. Paire is a Sun Taurus with a Virgo Midheaven of 5 Virgo 52 which means Jupiter is slap bang on it right now. Jupiter starts the tournament at 4 Virgo and finishes the tournament at 7 Virgo so it’s strong for him. You’d expect him to come to prominence with Jupiter at the top of his chart. He’s playing Tsonga next – I’d bet a punt on Paire to win. best, Sally
Thanks for that – and for explaining the different aspects. I did have a feeling about Paire, even though my knowledge of these things is a bit skewed. Call it my Pisces intuition…..!
Federer just won his third round 6-4 6-3 6-4. Got broken twice and came back. His next round opponent is John Isner. Way to go Federer !!
🙂
Hi
Does anyone know John Isner astrology is? Is Roger Astrology better than Isner’s when they play Monday? It might be a night session!
Kind Regards
No time of birth for Isner so the chart lacks accuracy. Nothing leaps out from his natal planet positions. best, Sally
Aside from Novak, Roger, and Murray, the only other name that is listed in your list is Thomas–and as for the other players at the tournament like Gasquet and Paire make it intriguing. Can there be last minute influences that favour one player than the others?
Mac
I never have time to look at all players’ charts, Mac. That would be a full-time occupation and I offer this service for free. When players start to do well throughout the tournament I will take a look at them and then we discover the astrology mid-tournament, e.g. how fab that Paire has his Midheaven (success point) at 5 Virgo 52 so Jupiter is currently exactly at that point in the zodiac. To put this into context, such an event happens only once every 12 years. So it makes sense that he’s suddenly coming to prominence. I did look at Gasquet’s chart and he didn’t end up on my ‘Best of the rest’ list. Hope that helps. best, Sally
Hi Sally,
Thank you for the prompt reply. I was curious if one’s astrology can alter from being favourable one day and not the next day, or can a person override their bad luck with strength and determination?
Again, thank you for taking the time to do this–I am sure this must be time consuming and at your own free will. As a person learning this and appreciating your efforts, thank you.
Cheers,
Mac
Astrology is always a mix of fate and free will so yes to your question. It’s partly destiny, partly individual effort, desire. best, Sally
Dear Sally
Dominc Thiem is out! Berdych struggled. Two main Virgo’s left are Lopez and Berdych.
Regards
Thanks for the info. best, Sally
Another outsider who is under the radar at the moment is Donald Young. He is a cancerian and don’t know what his chart is, but boy, is he making good progress! He is so athletic and faces Wawrinka next round and has beaten Stan before at the US Open in 2011. Astrology aside, wouldn’t it be amazing if he won it this year? The fist black American since Arthur Ashe?? GO DONALD!
It would be fab if Donald Young won, Lucy. No time of birth for him and yes, he is born on the Cancer/Leo cusp – probably Sun Leo and four planets in Leo, none in Virgo so without the Midheaven there (which we only know with a birth time), nothing leaps out astrologically. best, Sally
Just double-checked and Donald Young isn’t a cancerian after all. He is on the cusp of Leo…interesting. Does he have positive aspects Sally??
Hi
Paire is in trouble against Tsgona. He is two sets down.
Tsonga could be the one–he is long overdue. Could he be a late-champion like Stan?
Cheers,
Mac
Interesting astrology for Tsonga. He has an Aquarius Ascendant so he has two ruling planets Saturn and Uranus. Saturn is moving ever closer to his Midheaven (success point) at 1 Sagittarius. It can be a defining moment for Saturn-ruled types but I often think of Saturn as bringing endings rather than glory. We shall find out soon enough 🙂 best, Sally
Hi All
Lopez is through in straight sets. He plays Djokovic or another Spanish player on Tuesday.
@Roger’s fan: yes and have you noticed, Lopez is a VIRGO?!
How do you see Roger and Isner ib the night aession?
No time for birth for Taurus John Isner so only half the picture. Nothing leaps out from his natal planetary positions although with his natal Mars at 0 Gemini, he is about to experience Saturn opposing it. Saturn tends to repress rather than expand so not what you’d want going into an important tennis match. best, Sally
Sorry for the typos but I think you understand what I mean.
Well Sally, so much for Paire! He’s now out but hey, just noticed that Feliciano Lopez is making his way quietyly through and he is a VIRGO! Perhaps you might take a look at him?? You are a star doing all this just for us tennis fanatics, but it is fascinating!
hi Lucy, yes Paire is out but I’ve now heard of him and this was his best Grand Slam performance ever! So there’s Jupiter working for you, bringing him to prominence. Lopez another name that’s emerging and a Virgo. best, Sally
Hi Sally and all
Murray is out in 4 sets which lasted over 4 hours.
Kevin Anderson is through to face Wawrinka.
Hi Sally.
Could Kevin Anderson be the surprise winner ?
Hi Sally…I am a fan of your writing and just wanted to say Hi. I hope you are enjoying the US Open this year as much as we all are, since it has been a very unpredictable affair so far.
Best,
Rishi
Thank you, Rishi. Hasn’t it been unpredictable! Only 4 of the top 10 seeds are left in the tournament. Looking forward to the next matches. best, Sally
Hi Sally
Berdych is out in 4 sets. He is a Virgo. Roger will face Gasquet. What is the Astrology for Gasquet!
Yup, one Virgo left, Lopez; only 4 of the top 10 seeds left; it’s anyone’s game? Gasquet had Uranus close to his Aries Midheaven during Wimbledon when he played exceptionally well and put out Stan the Man but couldn’t defeat the favourite Djokovic to get to the final. Not as strong for him now. best, Sally
I hope for a Federer win!
If he does not I guess it will be Fopez or KAndo 🙂
I have to say I feel as if this tournament is keeping me on my toes. Some unexpected names coming through. I hadn’t even looked at Kevin Anderson’s chart before today and he’s knocked out Murray. Sun Taurus – no time of birth so nothing spectacular to report. Lopez is the last Virgo I believe and not the one I expected to go far (I had my eye on Berdych). However… I think the game of the tournament is today – the Williams sisters against one another. What must Venus be thinking? If she puts out Serena, she stops her winning an amazing Calendar Grand Slam and equalling Steffi Graf’s Grand Slam record. Can she possibly play without that in the back of her mind? I doubt it! best, Sally
I’m rooting for Venus. She has battled the auto immuno disease to come this far.
She deserves it 🙂
Hi Sally
Kevin Anderson has got Moon in Virgo in his chart.
Sally
Roger, decendant line is close to New York. It is Venus which comes under his Venus/Mars of the tournament chart
Is Roger coach Stefan Edberg got good Astrology?
Kind Regards
I didn’t look at Edberg’s chart so don’t know. All the Sun Virgos are out now although they did pretty well this tournament. Some new names coming through. best, Sally
@Roger’s fan:
Your last post was the 53th since Sally made her prediction. It was also at least the 53th question you have asked her although you should know that she cannot answer all this “if and buts”. I think Sally is just too polite to tell you this.
I think we should all be happy that she had decided to make the effort again. Everything is a matter of degree.
Hiya
I do appreciate Sally comments but I am passing her Astrology I have found. I am learning as well.
I respect all players, I am just interested in what Sally and others have to say. I am not the only one who is posting information.
Regards
Thanks for your concern. I don’t answer all the questions, I haven’t got time so simply reply to the ones where I can add something. Sometimes less is more 🙂 best, Sally
I think it’s time to give Sally kudos already before the final rounds!
Surprises are numerous both at Women’s and Men’s competition as she predicted:
We’ve got only three players from the best 19 women in the quarters. Only 3 of Top 10 seeded reached third round.
At Men, Andy Murray has lost first time before the quarter finals since 5 years.
We got seeded No. 12, 18, 19 and 20 in the quarters. Definitely surprising compared to most of recent Grand Slams with mostly the best among themselves:
-Melbourne 2015: 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
-Paris 2015: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 14
-Wimbledon 2015: 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 12, 21
Respect,
Sally
????
Kudos accepted. Thank you Patrick. I feel strangely detached from the result in this tournament. It has been quite weird to predict throughout. Still not completely clear what I think is going to happen. Who knows, Djokovic might surprise us and win easily? I hope not as that messes up my prediction 🙂 best, Sally
Hi Sally,
Djokovic doesn’t convince so far, he seems beatable. Cilic certainly will be a huge test for him. When Cilic started yesterday Jupiter square Jupiter was exact. I have read that this square can also have negative tensions? This aspect seems to support him still in the final plus Mars conjunct Venus then. Can’t find convincing aspects for the Djoker against Marin.
My feeling says Cilic will be in final again, maybe with Roger this time repeating last year’s semifinal? Jupiter square Roger’s MC seems to be gone at the final.
Yesh, it’s exciting hiw things will unfold. Also have an eye on Azarenka who is traditionally very strong at the US Open and her Sun conjunct the tournament’s opener.
Best,
Patrick
Some more details:
I have studied the updated TV schedule for the finals at usopen.org. For Women it’s Saturday 4 p.m. And for Nen Sunday 4 p.m.
This would result in following aspects for players regarding the midheaven/IC-axis:
-Azarenka: AC directly on her natal Uranus at warm up+ DC conjunct her Jupiter 3 p.m.
-Williams: MC conjunct her natal Pluto
-Cilic: MC conjunct his Pluto and IC conjunct his Moon
Interesting…..
Correction: Women final at 3 p.m.
Pennetta (12.30 birth time/Astrotheme) the surprise winner?
-Jupiter Sun Opposition still within 1 degree
-Uranus Mars Opposition + Uranus Saturn Opposition (both exact?)
-Moon conjunct her IC
-Mars sextile Saturn
-MC closed to natal Mars/ Saturn/Pluto
Final’s AC in Capricorn, it’s ruler Saturn in Scorpio. DC’s ruler Jupiter in Virgo (Opposition to Penetta’s Sun) and Neptun (within 2 degrees to Penetta’s Sun). The Moon conjunct Penetta’s IC.
Uranus at Saturday’s Women final is 5 degrees closed to the IC
Hi
I respect Sally for making this a wonderful blog.
🙂
Isn’t there a solar eclipse on the 13th September the day of the men’s final? I believe it’s in Virgo. So this also ties into the Virgo theme that’s going on. Lots of players getting sick and injured this year as well as racquet abuse. Eugenie Bouchard had a really bad fall in the showers. So Mars at the top of the chart has been showing its dark side.
hi Shelley, yes there is a solar eclipse at 20 Virgo a few hours before the final. Eclipses are game-changers so tricky to see what they mean in an individual match. I often say with eclipses that someone wins and someone loses but that doesn’t help anything predicting a final match! I hope that both players remain fit throughout. The injuries/illnesses have been prevalent this time around and eclipses can bring surprises, like the Uranus theme. Maybe you’re right with Mars as one of the malefics, although in Leo it’s an easier energy than in one of the heavier signs, for example. It will be interesting to see what happens over the next few days. best, Sally
Cilic is the favorite as he is the defending champion, I am surprised no one is talking about him.
No time of birth for Cilic sadly. Sun Libra opposite Mars Aries in his chart so nicely competitive. His Venus is 22 Leo so Mars will conjunct his Venus on the day of the final. Depends what Venus rules in his chart but yes, he could surprise us. best, Sally
Well well!
Lopez, the last standing Virgo (probably) in the Men’s Draw is out!
An observation – Serena (Sep 26), Simona (Sep 27) and Marin (Sep 28) – all these Librans are doing well!
If someone new from the Men’s Draw is to win the US Open, then it is obviously from Federer’s half.
Could it be Wawrinka ? With the teeny weeny bit of Astrology I know Uranus has always been kind to him 😛
I agree the Librans are doing well. Not sure why astrologically. Venus rules Libra and she’s been dominant during the tournament turning direct so perhaps a factor. Wawrinka has done very well with his Uranus transits, you’re right. Looking forward to seeing who comes through and makes the final – it could still be the no. 1 and no. 2 seed which would spoil my prediction 🙂 best, Sally
Hi Sally
Keep up the good work!
Lopez lost to Djokovic in 4 sets. Could the time of the birth chart of Djokovic is wrong? Marin Cilic is progressing through the draw slowly.
There are no more Virgo’s Sun signs left in the draw. The only Virgo’s are left in their birth chart are Roger and Anderson. Anderson got Virgo Moon.
Roger is not the favourite.
Kind Regards
As you know there are two different charts for Djokovic. I tend towards the Capricorn rising chart but others like Juan Cruz I believe use the Leo rising chart. I think that chart links in to the astrology for the tournament chart but I still wouldn’t change my mind on which chart to use. best, Sally
Hi Sally
I have noticed Roger got three Libra in his birth chart – Jupiter in Libra, Saturn in Libra and Pluto in Libra and they are in direct motion
Kind Regards
Hi Sally, astro.com have a rectified birth time for Marin Cillic of 5:00am. I don’t know where it came from or how accurate it is but this gives him an ascendant at 24 Virgo which ties into the solar eclipse of 20 Virgo on the 13th September.
Yes, I saw that! No information on who rectified the chart. It’s an astrological technique where you try to work out the birth time/Ascendant depending on life events. It would be interesting if Cilic has an Ascendant of 24 Virgo as he then has the Virgo theme. best, Sally
Hi Sally and All
This is worrying for Fed fans, if Roger reach the final with Marin Cilic. I am wondering who will have the best Astrology on the day.
I do hope and pray that Roger Astrology will outweigh Marin but it seems that the Eclipse might help Marin more than Roger. I do hope that Roger can win this as you gave us all hope.
Kind Regards
I think we should worry about Stan first instead of looking that far ahead.
Stan the man…. Roger & Stan must know each other’s game well, I expect? Wonder if that helps or hinders. best, Sally
Sally, As much as Iove to read your predictions, your bias for Roger simply wants me to stop visiting your blog.
Please be neutral and objective.
Tennis fan, thanks for your comment but I’m surprised by it to be fair. Last tournament I was rooting for Djokovic to win and other tournaments other players. Yes, I love Federer as a player and this time around his astrology is most closely connected to the tournament chart. He’s never my only choice though and I aim to show the astrology rather than favour one player. best, Sally
@tennis fan. That is a bit harsh because Sally like Federer. Come on show some respect! She likes all players. It shows that you do not like Roger. I am surprised that you label yourself tennis fan.
@tennis fan. Sally is using Astrology for all players, not just Federer to see which player got best Astrology. Shame you can’t accept that. You should respect all players
I don’t think you are being fair. She has been unbiased and fair (to all players). As a huge tennis fan, I have read many of her comments and they have been honest, fair, and non-judgemental. Kudos to her for gifting us with her time and expertise, which she doesn’t have to do. I appreciate her for doing it, nonetheless.
Thank you Sally. A fan of you and your site.
Mac
Mac
You said it wonderfully.
I love coming on Sally site. I agree with you.
Kudos to Sally for giving us wonderful opportunity to share Astriology information on different players.
Regards
🙂
Fed has a good chance if he is fresh and the opponent is fatigued both Marin and Djoko like base line rallies so we can expect a long match .With astrology in Fed’s favor we may witness no.18.
Sally usually hits bullseye with her prediction. Let us see.
Hi Sally,
besides his natal Moon in Virgo, Anderson has Sun Opposition Jupiter. From my point of view 2 degrees apart in the final.
best,
Patrick
Simona Halep before Jupiter Return in Virgo: 3 degrees apart
That Jupiter’s getting stronger then if it’s applying and only 3 degrees away. Hope it doesn’t knock Serena off the top spot. best, Sally
Astrotheme: birth time Serena Williams 8:28 p.m.
Sally,
Two Italians in the women’s semi-finals–who would have thought?! However, I think it is going to be Serena and Simona in the final but you never know.
Cheers,
Mac
Yes, we find out soon. I’m rooting for Serena to break records 🙂 best, Sally
Hi Sally,
My prediction for the final in the men’s are Federer and Cilic, and Federer winning it in the final, but I can be wrong. If I am, Stan is my pick. Interesting US Open 2015! More drama than the White House!
Cheers,
Mac
Mac
I think you might be right about the final between Cilic vs Federer.
Cilic has got good Astrology at the moment. Weather wise for Sunday is not great.
Federer seems to thrive under bad weather, judging from his experiences but since he is older, it might be difficult for him–too bad there is no roof (yet). If the weather is bad all day on Sunday, they might postpone it to Monday which could benefit Federer an extra day of rest. Who knows.
Stan is looking great–he didn’t give Kevin a chance. As for Federer, he continues to be amazing. Kudos to their stamina and skill. Their semi-final will be intense to watch. Looking forward to it on Saturday. Super Saturday!!
cheers,
Mac
Swiss precision 🙂
Yes, I’m finding myself rather detached from it as the matches are often on at the wrong time for me to watch live and it’s been quite unpredictable to predict! I would love Federer to grab his 18th Grand Slam but don’t want to jinx him by saying that! Nearly there… best, Sally
Hi Sally and all
Stan has won his match with ease. If you got time Sally what is Stan Astrology against Roger on Friday
Regards
Really pushed for time this week. Is Wawrinka still benefiting from the Uranus transits in his chart even though they’re not exact right now? I’m still hoping for an 18th Grand Slam for Roger. I wonder if the pressure gets to him when he gets closer to the trophy? best, Sally
Hi, It could well be djovokovic vs federer. Federer as hungry as ever to win a grandslam. His mind seems to be very strong and looks preplanned this tournament. He is the one to watch for sure. He has worked out his game plan ver well. Hopefully he serves better in the next two critical games. I remember Sampras greatest asset was his serve even in his last playing years. Now federer has worked out well.
Thanks for your comment, Jay. Yes, Federer continues to play amazingly well. I’ve not seen the matches this year but I’ve heard that Djokovic hasn’t always played as consistently as he usually does. When he’s on fire, he’s unbeatable. best, Sally
The way Stan is playing, looks very promising.Amazing tennis – fantastic backhand. May be Stan will win Semi and can be in the finals. He is March 28, 1985 born. May be heading towards a second Grandslam for the year!!
I felt bad for Anderson. He just couldn’t do anything out there tonight but then neither could Gasquet. Both Rog and Stan played brilliantly so their SF should be a whopper!????
At least one Swiss in the final. Amazing to have two such great Swiss players dominating the tennis. best, Sally
No, Sally, you were not rooting for Djokovic in Wimbledon this year, you were rooting for Murray, although Djokovic’s astrology was as good as Murray and the tournament picked the favorite which was Djokovic to win.
Something I was surprised and unhappy was what you said after Wimbledon final. You said Federer didn’t play half as good as he played in semis, it is more like a Fedfan’s word. You disrespected Djokovic’s stunning perfomance to win that final, even Stefan Edberg said Fed did nothing wrong, he lost only because Djokovic played better in the final.
No surprise that there is people saying you should be neutral and objective.
However, I still love reading your Grand Slam predictions and I think your predictions were convincing most of the time. So keep going!
Btw. Roger’s fan, you’re so annoying you know?
Thank you for your mixed comment. I have been thinking about what a couple of people have said about me not being neutral and objective. Here’s my answer: I don’t think it matters hugely because this is a personal tennis blog and I don’t write for a paper or a forum. I don’t favour one player completely over the others and always push for the same person although I love tennis and therefore yes, I do have my favourites. At the same time, I appreciate great tennis by any player and will always say so. I aim to listen to everyone’s comments and reply fairly. I am also aware that I can’t please all of the people all of the time – that would be an impossible task. I hope that helps in response to what you’re saying. best, Sally
I think it will be Wawrinka and Djokovic final with Djokovic winning
@tennis fan Sally has always been non discretionary and non discriminatory. Its always astrology driven. That is the only reason why the column is so popular. Great going Sally….
🙂
Let the Tennisfan have his or her view. We all know we follow Sally’s blog for un biased astrlogical prediction and that add lot of interest to grandslams. Great going Sally and thanks for the excelent work grandslam after grandslam.
🙂
I think Wawrinka will be the surprise winner of US open 2015. He is playing awesome tennis. His game seems to be improving with each match. He will be the new winner of US open : a repeat of French open 2015. Sally has been fair to all players. The accusation of being biased for Federrer is unfounded. Her blog is making grand slam more interesting.
Thank you 🙂
If there is going to be a surprise winner then it has to be either Cilic or Wawrinka.
Alex, Cilic would a repeat champion, not a surprise. Stan would be a surprise.
Cheers,
Mac
I’d consider them both surprise winners, Mac, simply because they have won one Grand Slam each. Does it make it easier when you’ve won the same tournament before? Probably so perhaps he’d be less of a surprise than Stan. best, Sally
Yes agreed. They’ve both won one Grand Slam. best, Sally
Hi All
This is what I found on Wawrinka Birth chart for all of us.
Long term forecast is

Can anyone understand this? Sally?

It’s listing all his planets and telling you when his Uranus transit begin and end – always a period that’s about a year. I’ve often found with Uranus that it’s very date specific so you want exactitude to make a prediction using Uranus. That’s why I didn’t pick him out this time around. Not much to say about his minor transits for the match – they’re not convincing. Hope that helps. best, Sally
Alex, but Sally said early on that nothing is in stans astrology that jumps out. I specifically asked this question when usopen started.
Yes, that’s right. Uranus wasn’t exact enough for me to make a prediction on him winning. best, Sally
My only comments are the following…………. Djocovich seems to not do well in the heat which is extreme in N.Y. It does’nt seem to bother Roger that much. And,why not do a horary question concerning the G.S winner? Am sure one of you on this website knows how. Sally certainly knows. Another thing. I’ve found that looking at the charts of people who will be extremely affected by a win or loss are the wives( Mirka Federer, Mrs.Djocovich) and trainers Edberg,Boris Becker and whomever trains Warinka and Cilic. Sorry I don’t know their names. These are only my ideas and It’s worked on Mirka before I’ve noticed. Anyway I hope the winner is fabulous Roger.
hi Jackie, good to hear from you. Are you there at the US Open? Thanks for your comments. Yes, always interesting to check out other key individuals related to the players and I have looked at the coaches’ charts in the past. I know you’re a huge Roger fan so it must be wonderful to see him doing so well. best, Sally
Hi Sally,Have just returned from US Open but saw Roger play a few times.He’s just too good to be true! The heat unbearable there &Ithink it was certainly the fittest who had advantage. Only reason I could’nt stay for final ( had great seats) was due to negative things going on at home plus developing a major cold& bronchitas. As I have a 16 degree virgo ascendant am hoping that fact does’nt affect those players with the ascendant.Am thinking of Roger of course! If he loses it can only be due to his astro chart as he’s playing like a dream. Could see at very close quarters that Djocovich was affected by the heat. So back to watching it all from my tv now.
I hope you feel better soon, Jackie. best, Sally
Hi All,
I have used the Birth time of 5am from someone who posted on here on Marin Cilic,
Here what I have found using that birth time:
Rising sign 26 degrees Virgo
Sun is in 05 degrees Libra
Moon is 08 degrees Taurus
Mercury 27 degrees Libra
Venus 22 degrees Leo
Mars 5 degrees Aries
Neptune 7 degrees Capricorn
Pluto is 11 degrees Scopico
N.Node is in 13 degrees Pisces.
Anyone understand this!
Kind Regards
Listing all his planets. They have to be taken into context and looked at as a whole rather than individually to make most sense. What is interesting having his birth time that he has a Virgo Ascendant, like Federer and Murray. It’s a good Ascendant for tennis players as it makes Mercury, the tennis planet, their ruling planet. best, Sally
Mac
Any player who is not a big name winning a slam is a surprise in this era.
In this era the big names are expected to win the slams.
Whenever a Cilic, Wawrinka, etc. who are not big names win a slam, it is a surprise.
It’s the likes of Djokovic, Murray, Federer and Nadal who have won most of the slams in the past decade or so.
The Del Potros, Cilics and Wawrinkas are surprises when they win a slam.
Alex,
I see your point but I beg to differ. Stan is not a surprise when he won two championships already–and he defeated no. 1 and no. 2 easily in both of those championships.
Del Potro was not a surprise considering he was expected to make a breakthrough and he did–and unfortunately, injuries derailed his progression.
Of the three, Cilic is the most surprising. A repeat champion, that remains to be seen.
Cheers,
Mac
I’ve just written my surprise winners in order. I have Wawrinka & Cilic the other way around as Cilic has won the US Open before. I expect that helps on a psychological level. He knows he can win on this surface but yes, either one would be the surprise. best, Sally
Agreed. best, Sally
In the past 10 years the only surprises were Del Potro, Wawrinka and Cilic.
None of these are the big names.
@ Mac
Federer could be the surprise winner as he hasn’t won a slam for nearly 3 years. Sally said some post back that Roger could be the surprise winner.
Anything could happen in this tournament and Roger is not one of the favourites as everyone is going for Novak.
We have to wait and see what the outcome is.
@Alec not Mac my above post was referring to.
OK, if we’re going for the surprise winner in this US Open it is as follows: Wawrinka, Cilic, Federer, Djokovic. That’s how I see it anyway! best, Sally
Sally,
As much as I would love to see Federer win, I would have to agree with your order of athletes you mentioned.
Cheers,
Mac
Alex,
Of the three, Cilic is the most unknown.
Mac
True. best, Sally
Alex,
I do miss Del Potro–he was so good for the game. His talent, personality, and wit are greatly missed. I hope he comes back.
Mac
Del Potro’s game was single dimensional with lots of baseline game and slugging from baseline which led to his injuries. As shown by players like Federer and Djokovic, with their multi dimensional game, they are able to stay injury free and play tennis to viewing joy of the tennis fans.
As Roger is growing older, he is making the game look simple to play. Whether he wins the US Open or not is irrelevant but one should enjoy each of his game played so far in US Open. Net Play and One handers are a few to be seen and compared with many other tennis players. Wish we start seeing more serve and volley players for which we need more coaches like Edberg around!!
RamRishi,
That’s an interesting perspective. I agree Del Potro was a slugger but I wouldn’t call him a dimensional player–yes, he played mostly from the baseline but he also played at the net, which he has a def touch and he is able to go offence to defence, backhand and forehand easily. However, he is unlucky with his injuries, mostly with his wrists. If it weren’t for his injuries, I believe he would have been a major player at the slams.
Roger, with his type of game, is lucky. He is patient, a great mover, and takes care of himself well.
Cheers,
Mac
Cilic would be the surprise because no one expects him to repeat.
Yes, he was under my radar. Looks right now like we might have a double surprise in the women’s semi finals. Salep out, Williams struggling! best, Sally
I haven’t been on this page since Wimbledon and haven’t read all the comments, just your opening and I’m amazed that you don’t mention Stan Wawrinka at all. Surely you haven’t just disregarded the French Open Champion. He is definitely in with a shot.
No surprise really, Lesley. I do look at all the top players but except from the ‘big four’, I only put the players whose astrology stands out in the ‘Best of the Rest’. Wawrinka has been mentioned often in the comments but his Uranus transits are no longer exact which is why I hadn’t picked him out as a contender. Maybe that was an error on my part. We shall soon find out. best, Sally
Serena is out! So there goes the prediction for the Women’s winner.
Yup, got that one wrong! The surprises have come on the women’s side of the draw not the men’s! best, Sally
Serena lost. I am really happy because she was drmatising every winner she hit midway yhru the match…. I am very happy for Roberto Vinci
I know Serena is a bit like marmite, you either love her or hate her. I do admire her but she can be a bit of a drama queen on the court 🙂 best, Sally
Wohoooo….Roberta the inVINCIble!
Yes, what a story! A 33 year old Aquarian takes out the dead-cert for a Grand Slam victory. Maybe this is the surprise of the tournament! best, Sally
Roberta Vinci has Mars conjunct Venus same as the tournament opener!
Sure Serena is on Target to win Grandslam like the way stars have aligned.
Now back to reality.
Oh bless, tennis fan, you do like to point out when the astrologer gets the prediction wrong, don’t you! It’s not 100% proof for sure but gives a depth of meaning to life that’s quite extraordinary. best, Sally
Both Roberta and Flavia are Aquarians!
Flavia Pennetta is a Pisces
Yes, she is. best, Sally
Flavia is a Pisces, Roberta an Aquarius. Birthdays only a week apart, Flavia is 32 and Roberta is 33! Amazing what can happen in women’s tennis. best, Sally
Agreed Sathia….
Ladies tennis has been shaved from shame…
… saved? although shaved does conjure up a lovely image 🙂 best, Sally
Hi Sally,
Congratulation, there’s a total surprise winner at the Women’s Championships aligning with your prediction of surprises at this year’s US Open!!
You said there will be a new name on the trophy for Men, as Women are playing beyond the same sky, it is your win in my eyes!
????????
Patrick
Well, thank you Patrick. That is kind. I don’t feel I’ve got the mens’ prediction right at all, unless Federer beats Djokovic which would be a surprise! best, Sally
Hi Sally, I have found some interesting aspects regarding match axes of Men’s first semi-final and the final picking the ascendant for the favourite and the descendant for the non-favorit.
At first semi-final Djokovic-Cilic we have the ascendant in Aquarius and the descandent in Leo. Aquarius’ first ruling planet Uranus in fire sign Sagittarius directly falls on Djokovics natal Jupiter! Second ruling planet Saturn in Scorpio lies 6 degrees from Djokovic’s Midheaven with the match’s midheaven in the same sign.
DC’s ruling planet the Sun is in Virgo, in the sign of Cilic’s natal AC. Can there be a clearer message for Nole as the winner being Number 1 and having 13-0 vs. Cilic?
Watching the axes of the final, AC’s ruler Saturn of sign Capricorn in Scorpio again in the sign of the match’s midheaven – Djoker’s Midheaven not only same in Scorpio but 3,5 degrees near the match’s midheaven. Both ascendants even are conjunct! Ruler Moon of DC in Cancer in Ariens.
Looks like a strong testiment for Djokovic as the Champion, doesn’t it?
It would be contrary to the symbolic chart of the tournament’s opener and it’s surprise messages. Reading your then prediction Djokovic already proved to contradict the opener’s surprise announcement when he won the Australian Open 2013.
Back in 2013, the Moon was void of course making no aspects and therefore predicting not good for the favourite. AC was in Pisces and it’s ruler Jupiter near the midheaven in Sagittarius with same ruler Jupiter.
What would you think about this final round’s observations?
Appreciating your time and efforts in the last two weeks, Sally! ???? ????
You enrich following the US OPEN with your kind nature and great efforts! ????
We’re happy to have you!
Kind regards,
Patrick
Djokovic smashed the semi-final by all accounts. Will he play the same against Federer? As I’ve mentioned before I don’t get to see watch the matches live so I’m not quite sure who’s doing what apart from catching up on the news after the event. It’s going to be an interesting final for sure and not easy to predict until we know when the final will be played. I do still wonder whether something unexpected is going to occur especially if the final is played on the day of the eclipse, Sunday. best, Sally
Hi Sally
I found this on your old blog who will win Australian Open 2013
Thirdly, after writing this blog, a new birth-time was discovered for Djokovic (11:00am) which gives him a Leo Ascendant, Venus conjunct a Taurus Midheaven and Jupiter currently in his career sector. This significantly boosts his chances for 2013.
Kind Regards
hi Roger’s fan, yes there are two times for Djokovic doing the rounds. I now favour the Capricorn Ascendant chart which seems to work best for him. I would love to know for sure though. I wonder if he knows which one is right? best, Sally
Hi,
This US Open has been riveting.
Cheers,
Mac
Some twists and turns for sure. best, Sally
Djokovic is definitely on his way to becoming the third best player of the open era behind Laver and Federer.
Only players to reach all four Slam finals in the Open Era
Laver in 1969 (his CYGS year)
Federer in 2006, 2007, 2009
Djokovic in 2015
When all is said and done the the thee best players of the open era will be
Laver 19 majors
Federer 17 majors
Djokovic I believe will end up with 15 majors
He’s won 9 so far, hasn’t he? Am I correct? He is an amazingly consistent player. best, Sally
Here is an old prediction from Greenstone Lobo where he predicts Djokovic will end up with 15 slams.
http://www.dnaindia.com/analysis/column-novak-djokovic-will-rule-for-next-3-years-1693764
Thanks for reposting this, Alex. Written in 2012 he predicted he would win 6-8 Grand Slams in the subsequent three years. He’s won 4 so far and possibly a 5th here? Still a way to go to 15 Grand Slams. He would have to reign supreme for a couple more years. best, Sally
I found this vedic astrology prediction for Roger at the USO as well
http://www.lightonvedicastrology.com/phpBB3_0/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=30747
Means nothing to me! Different astrology but he says it’s a no for Roger. best, Sally
And we will have a surprise winner!
Who is the surprise winner?
At the moment, it’s in the women’s final which I bet no-one predicted! It does feel as if everything is slightly shady still for the men’s final and I wonder if this is the eclipse. At the moment, the weather looks unpredictable in New York so knowing what day the final will be on isn’t guaranteed. best, Sally
Hello again! Who’s your prediction, tennis fan? best, Sally
Hi Alex
Novak is currently going through the best phase of his life astrologically. Saturn has transited and got exalted in Libra, his 11th house of labhasthan and it would be a ‘profitable’ phase until the middle of 2015.
Regrds
That’s a vedic prediction? I have heard a few astrologers suggest that Novak was going to struggle this year but so far he’s proving them wrong. best, Sally
Hi
Vedic Astrology is unrealiable. But here what it says:
, I had selected the Prashna number, as the interest built up to study his Prashna query on U.S.Open championship winning this year
But since I ran out of time, to catch up with a scheduled task, decided to postpone study of the ruling planets of yesterday.
Today for Prashna no 56, In the Heaven’s map, today being Wednesday, Lord Budha, the lagna was transiting in Thula in Chitra nk in sub of Chandra, today Chandra in her own sign in Pushya
Rahu represents Budha. Shani aspects Guru and Ravi, Budha aspects Kethu
I do not know nor Roger knows me, therefore
His Prashna lagna sputa cusp falls in Kumbha in Satabhista nk in sub of Shani
Shani is lagna lord as well as 12th lord in 9th ( 9th is 3rd from 7th, opposition)
Shani in Anuradha nk in sub of Shani itself
..Therefore 9th and 12th involved apart from 1st bhava
Lets see efforts for forthcoming matches
6th cusp in Karkata in Pushya nk in sub of Rahu
Rahu agent of Budha, Rahu doesn’t have lordship so does other chayagraha in 360 degrees of elliptical of our planet
Rahu in 8th in Nirayana Prashna Rasi but in 7th ( lagna bhava of forthcoming opposition)
Rahu is not aspected, but conjoined with Budha
Budha is 5th lord ( 11th lord of opposition ) & 8th Lord ( 2nd lord of Opposition)
Budha does aspect Kethu in Nirayana Rasi, Ketu agent for Guru ( Guru in 7th) and Ketu in Shani’s star
Shani we had seen above
Budha in Hastam, Chandra in 5th ( 11th for opposition) in sub of Budha ( in 8th, foropposition in second)
Rahu in Uttaphalguni, Ravi is 7th lord in 7th ( opposition lagna bhava and lagna lord of opposition too) in sub of Ketu
Ketu in lagna bhava
Roger’s efforts will be matched by the opposition
lets see accomplishment
11th cusp in Dhanur in Purvashada insub of Rahu
we have discussed above
Lets see opposition
in Simha in Magham in sub of Budha
Budha signifies 11th
The person or opposition who is more agile than Roger will defeat Roger in the forthcoming rounds
Roger Federer will noet be a champion in 2015 US open Tennis competition
The surprise winner will be an Italian female player.
🙂
But in the ATP the winner will be the favorite, Djokovic, the number one.
So Alex
You are writing Roger off. Write Roger off at your own peril.
I hope Sally prediction of Roger winning is right.
Tegards
Roger’s fan
According to Lobo, Djokovic’s best years will be until 2015. After that he won’t dominate like he did from 2011 to 2015. I suppose starting in 2016 it will be a less stellar Djokovic but will still win at least a slam a year for several years looking how his body promises to hold up for another 5 years or so.
Saturno oposición Sol en la Revolución Solar 2015. Ojala tenga peso en la final el domingo!!
Luego del US Open, Saturno entra en Sagitario y comienza a pegarle a su Sol natal. Tambien golpea al dispositor solar -Mercurio-.
Coincido con Lobo.
Here what Juan said:
Saturn opposition Sun in the 2015 Solar Revolution. Hopefully there is weight in the final on Sunday!
After the US Open, Saturn enters Sagittarius and begins to beat him to his natal Sun. Also hits the Sun – mercury – dispositor.
hi Juan, I don’t understand this. Are you talking about Djokovic and Saturn beginning to oppose his Sun once Saturn moves into Sagittarius next week? Plus his Solar Return had a Sun-Saturn opposition. That aspect often slows people down but not active right now whilst Saturn is in Scorpio. best, Sally
Alex
Read what Sally said about the tournament! Serena and Heap were the favourites in the women’s. Djokovic is the favourite of the men’s while Roger isn’t.
Patrick said the moon conjuct Uranus on the final after 5pm. Rain is predicted in the afternoon.
Regards
Hola Sally!
La Revolución Solar (Sol-Saturno oposición) es lo que puede afectar a Djokovic en la final.
No me refiero al transito, porque no está activo ahora. Comenzará a afectar en unas semanas.
Saludos!
Thanks Juan. Yes, Saturn opposing Djokovic’ Sun isn’t active right now especially as Saturn is still in Scorpio. It’s not affected him at all over the last few months winning at Wimbledon & in the US. best, Sally
Hi Sally
If you.got time, can you.do the final.chart for the men’s final.
Argentine Astrologist still think Djokovic might win. I.hope they are wrong!
Kind Regards
Well, I did draw up the final chart but at the moment I have no idea whether the final will happen then? Let’s wait and see what happens with the women’s final first and whether the weather settles down. Rain predicted at the moment. best, Sally
Dear Sally, the main event takes place where there is a roof.I can’t imagine Roger and Djoco.would be in another court. So what could be the surprise??? The time is confusing though as on the internet it gives 4 pm on ESPN and another site is 5 pm (n.y tme for both). Either time makes me wonder as they almost never start exactly on the minute. So now,what do you think of the chances of these two? My best to you and congrats. For your hard work which is so appreciated. Jackie
hi Jackie, I didn’t have time to answer any comments yesterday and in the end Djokovic beat Federer again. I think the final started later because of the rain? Sounds like a real fight between the two but lost by Federer being unable to convert the break points? A 1st house eclipse seemed in the end to catch up with Federer? best, Sally
Hola.
Parece que yo estaba en lo cierto cuando dije “Aca voy con mi predicción del US Open 2015.
La carta de inicio del torneo tiene un MC en Leo y lo que se destaca es la conjunción Marte-Venus a los 15º de Leo. Abunda Leo en la carta inicial, para mi esto habla de que uno de los favoritos será el campeon. Por eso dije antes que para mi el campeon o es Djokovic o es Federer. Casualmente, el serbio tiene su Ascendente natal a los 13º Leo y Federer tiene su Sol natal a los 15º de Leo. Ambos tienen puntos sensibles de su natales conectados con la carta debut del torneo.
No estoy en condiciones de optar por uno u otro, no estaré a la altura esta vez. Que tendrá más importancia?:
¿Revolución Lunar, Transitos y Carta debut? o ¿Revolución Solar y Direcciones? Deseo que lo último, pero para mi es un 55% Djokovic – 45% Federer.”
La primera parte de mi predicción fue correcta. Deseo estar equivocado en la última parte de la predicción. Hay testimonios muy parejos.
Vamos Roger!! Allez King!! Chum Jetze!!! #BEL18VE
Congrats Juan. You picked out Djokovic or Federer to win and… you’re right! I know you believe Djokovic edges it. It is tricky to predict right now because of the weather in New York and not knowing what’s happening when. I do think the eclipse tomorrow, Sunday will spring surprise too. How that will play out I don’t know! Thanks for posting your predictions here. Always appreciated. best, Sally
Gracias Sally por tus palabras y por dejarme participar.
Es un honor compartir astrologia con usted.
Saludos
Thank you, Juan 🙂
Hi All
Here what Juan said:
Hello.
It seems that I was right when I said “here I am going with my prediction of the US Open 2015.
The letter from the tournament is an MC in Leo and what stands out is the conjunction Marte-Venus to the 15 degrees of Leo. Leo abounds in the initial letter, to me this speaks to one of the Favorites will be the champion. Why I said earlier that for my champion or Djokovic or is Federer. Coincidentally, the Serbian has his natal ascendant to the 13th Leo and Federer has his natal Sun to the 15 ° of Leo. Both have sensitive points of your natal connected with chart debut of the tournament.
I am not able to opt for one or the other, I will not be at the level this time. You will have more importance?
Lunar revolution, transits and chart debut? or Solar Revolution and addresses? “I want the latest, but for my is a 55% Djokovic – 45% Federer.”
The first part of my prediction was correct. I want to be wrong in the last part of the forecast. There are very even.
Go Roger! Allez King! CHUM Jetze! #BEL18VE

Hi All
Rain is forecast at 4pm. The weather.in the evening is a lot better. I think they might play in the evening. The women’s final might be delayed again.
Kind Regards
Hi All,
It will be a battle in the men’s final and I hope for Roger to be victorious. Roger is playing exceptional tennis, not losing a set in all of his matches thus far. As for Novak, he has struggled in his prior semi-final matches but easily beat Cilic, but the final will be different. We shall see and hope for the best outcome.
As for the women’s final, I admit my heart is not into it. I am not familiar with those two women and it will be interesting for me to watch and not know who to root for–but good for them to have made it that far and make Italy proud. Good luck to both of them.
Cheers,
Mac
🙂
Astrology is done for now… just enjoy 2 of the greatest champions play and one of them will win
You could be right, Khar! Let’s enjoy the match 🙂 best, Sally
Hi All
It looks like Sunday is going to be complete washout. Rain is forecast all day Sunday.
If they have to play on Monday, what does thevAstrology say for Roger and Djokovic?
Regards
I had a look at the previous years of the final being played on the Monday, they start from 4 pm or 5pm US time.
A day doesn’t make a huge difference to be fair. If you have the chart for the start of the final, then you can start making further predictions but I don’t want to speculate until I know when the final will take place. I feel that the two of them are so close and I will try and unravel the astrology afterwards. best, Sally
Hi, as expected, Its dkojovic vs federer. Key will be federer serve. He has the best all around game and everything is coming good at the right time. I’m positive that he is going to rule the finals and win it. This could well be the beginning of extended federer era.
Thanks Jay. I would love to watch the final. Depends when it takes place. best, Sally
Hi Sally, I just wanted to say thanks alot for all of your hard work. I enjoyed reading your analysis and for the most part you were right on the money for a surprise winner. There’s definitely going to be a suprise on the women’s side. I’m sad for Serena but it’s nice that someone else gets the chance to win a grandslam. She does have 21. As for the men Federer would be a surprise winner, but also Djokovic in his own way. I’m a Djoko fan but Federer is playing sublimely. My concern is the Solar eclipse in Virgo and how this might affect Federer. Could this be the end of the line for Fed, or the conclusion to a stellar career? So it will be interesting to see what the final brings for the men.
By the way I’ve also enjoyed reading all the other horary predictions etc..nice sharing of info.
Thanks Shelley, always lovely to hear. Yes, it’s been an interesting tournament, hasn’t it. Still trying to process it from an astrological viewpoint and will write my Update on the article shortly. The draw opened up for Djokovic beautifully although he didn’t always play brilliantly in all his matches from what I hear. Federer seemed to play the better of the two throughout the tournament but there seems to be a psychological block with the Grand Slam finals. Again I didn’t see the match so this is from reading reviews, etc. but Federer lost it on break points, only converting 4 out of 23? It was the women’s tennis where the surprises came. best, Sally
Roger’s fan
I seriously hope I’m wrong but the last time a male player Roger’s age won a slam was over 40 years ago. I will be rooting with all my heart for him.
Roger’s been so close now a few times but his last Grand Slam victory was Wimbledon 2012. It can only get harder the older he gets sadly. Awesome player though but you’ve got to admire Djokovic – the man’s on form. best, Sally
Gimeno was 34 when he won Roland Garros in 1972.
That is the last time a male player Roger’s age won a slam.
Hola.
Yo creía que Serena Williams no iba a ganar, pero no me animé a decirlo. Lo pensé cuando vi su carta debut en el torneo 31/08 20hs. Jupiter combusto y exiliado en Casa VI. Muy mala carta para comenzar.
Pero muchas veces las “cartas debuts” no son determinantes, por eso no dije nada. Pero hoy descubri un testimonio que era muy claro que no ganaría. El eclipse del domingo se produce a los 20º Virgo. En la carta natal de Serena Williams, observen que planeta tiene en ese mismo grado!!!
Saludos
hi Juan, thank you for posting this. You were quite right that the solar eclipse fell exactly on Serena’s Moon at 20 Virgo. I missed that during my earlier predictions and if I’d seen it, I would have counted her out. Sometimes desire gets muddled up with the prediction and when you really want someone to win/achieve something, you ‘will’ it. I think that’s what I was doing with Serena as I think she’s been a fantastic role model for women & young girls. Perhaps I should have taken more notice of the Venus retrograde in the tournament chart. Yes, Venus turned direct during the tournament but at the start it was retrograde conjunct the Midheaven – the favourite woman ‘weakened’? So your prediction would have been right. Kudos to you. best, Sally
Hi Sally
This is from Lobo.
Djokovic is on a roll and has been part of all Grand Slam finals this year. The Serb also has the planets in his favour, as Planet-X is powerfully transiting his fifth house of sports.
The final will be between a resurgent Roger Federer with a new aggressive SABR tactic, and a mentally tough and calm Novak Djokovic.
Djokovic is on a roll and has been part of all Grand Slam finals this year. The Serb also has the planets in his favour, as Planet-X is powerfully transiting his fifth house of sports.
But he is up against a man who is probably the best sportsman in history as far as the planets are concerned. Add to that, Federer has just moved out of the worst patch of his career, marred by adverse positions of Saturn and Jupiter. The patch ensured he last tasted Grand Slam success in 2012. Planet-X has moved into the ninth house of luck for the Swiss and he may just get over the Djokovic hurdle this time.
The World No. 2 has it in him to notch up a record 18th Grand Slam title. Whatever the result, the match has all the makings of a classic.
Kind regards
Thanks for posting. I still don’t know what Planet-X is but it sounds as if Lobo favoured Federer too. Astrologically it was always going to be close as there was no clear symbol of success for either although Federer’s chart linked in best to the tournament chart. I do think it’s going to take something amazing now for Federer to win his elusive 18th Grand Slam. He’ll be 35 next year. best, Sally
Hi Sally.
The final is taking place today at 4pm USO time.
If you got time, can you give us your finalmverdict or hint who you think is going to win?
With the eclipse being in Virgo, has the eclipse protected Novak more than Roger?
Kind Regards
The eclipse was 1st house (physical body) for Federer and it sounds as if it was an exhausting match. best, Sally
the solar eclipse is taking place in federers ascendant and in djokovics 9th house. eclipse taking place in ascendant can give health problems and it taking place in 9th house can give bad luck. so may be djokovic will run out of luck on sunday.
Hi James
Who do you think got the strongest Astrology? The Eclilpse is 20 Virgo. Roger is 11 Virgo Ascendant. Jupiter is 7 Virgo in Roger chart. Venus is bang on Roger chart.
Regards
djokovic has got the slightly stronger astrology but the solar eclipse tilts it slightly in favour of roger.
hi James, eclipses aren’t easy to predict. I’ve seen people rise to prominence on an eclipse and I’ve seen the opposite too when eclipses are a bad omen. I didn’t notice that the eclipse feel exactly on Serena’s Moon at 20 Virgo and look what happened to her! best, Sally
Hi Sally, neither Djokovic nor Federer are 1st time winners. Right ? Do you still say that a new name will be written in the trophy? Now that the time of final is confirmed, what’s your final pick? Federer or Djokovic ? Please confirm. Thanks
hi Kumar, sorry I didn’t have time to comment yesterday. Astrologically there wasn’t a clear favourite between the two. I don’t know what time they started playing in the end but the 4pm chart had 16 Capricorn Ascendant, the same as Djokovic. best, Sally
Hi Sally, looks like its gonna be cloudy. May I know whats your take on the final?what are the astrological aspects of both.
Thanks, phani
Looks like Fed is not on his game and will lose easily
Expected.
Djokovic could very well end up with 15-17 slams when all is said and done. There is nobody out there who can stop him regularly at the slams.
Federer is too old, Murray has declined big time and Nadal is finished.
The sky is the limit for him in the upcoming years.
Alex, you’re getting carried away. While Djokovic is a fantastic player, getting 17 slams is a bit out of reach. When Federer was going great guns till 2010, people were predicting 20 slams for him. Then when Nadal was going well in 2013 and reached the Aus Open final in 2014, people said he was definitely passing Federer.
The thing is, tennis changes quite dramatically. Murray has declined? LOL. He will win more slams. He is not done and add to that he has become a much better clay court player.
At the start of 2012, I made a bet with some friends on slam count for players. Not based on astrology, but based on general trends and instinct. So here goes:
1. Federer: 16-17
2. Nadal: 15-16
3. Djokovic: 13-14
4. Murray: 4-5
I will stick by it and just watch the action unfold. Cheers 🙂
Thanks for your predictions. So far it’s Federer 17, Nadal 14, Djokovic 10, Murray 2. I certainly think Djokovic and Murray can win more. Djokovic is a consistent player, Murray not always so consistent but both have the talent. I do worry about Nadal and I’m not sure he can come back from his difficulties and I suspect Federer won’t win any more now, simply because of his age, 35 next year. best, Sally
Well, actually Djokovic and Murray have both been as or close to as consistent as Federer of old in reaching consecutive Slam quarters/semis. I think Djokovic has made what 26 straight Slam quarters and Murray had made 19 straight Slam quarters till he lost to Anderson. It’s just that Djokovic is obviously a level higher. In a way, I pity Murray. He has to beat the likes of Nadal, Djokovic, Federer to win every slam.
That being said, I’m 100% sure Murray will win atleast 1 more slam. I realistically think it could be 2-3. Where? Well, you can’t leave out the French Open like before because he has clearly gotten much better on Clay. Federer, could well win 1 more slam but I don’t see it. He needs a lot of luck with his draw and I thought he had got it last year at the US Open when Nishikori beat Djokovic. Djokovic obviously is dominant but people get carried away by success though he will win the most slams from any of the Big 4 from now till their career ends though I think he won’t surpass 14. As for Nadal, his 2015 has been as bad as Federer’s 2013 but great champions usually bounce back. I don’t think Nadal can overtake or level Federer at 17 but he will win 1 more atleast, most likely the French. He could surprise us 1 last time and win 1 non-French Open slam too but 2 more is the most I see him doing.
Overall, let’s not forget what happened to Nadal after 2013 or even 2010 or what happened to Djokovic after 2011. They did not have the same tennis year. Things can change especially when they competition nowdays is so high and so many players are consistent (i.e Berdych, Wawrinka atleast in terms of maintaining a top 10 ranking).
Sally Are you implying that Nadal future astrology suggest that he wont win any more slams????
I don’t think I said that anywhere, did I? best, Sally
I love the précis of the Big Four, Alex! You could well be right… best, Sally
Well, even the stars cannot stop Djoker at the moment. It looks like it’s pretty hard to bet or rather predict against Novak. He has finally joined the GOAT ( Greatest Of All Time) club.
Agreed! Awesome player. best, Sally
Just in time for the final, Transitting Mars came to square Roger’s Uranus, exciting his Prog. Mars contraparallel natal Uranus. The symbolism screams inaccurate shots, frustration from inconsistency. Also, at the semi-final he had Transitting Mars SSQ natal Jupiter, exciting his Progressed Jupiter square natal Mars – but this energy was not available to him for the final. I know most people find SSQ a hindrance, but I have personally found this angle to be very helpful and productive. Transits can be so mean. Sigh
I tend not to use the minor aspects for prediction, Susan, but thanks for your comment. Federer’s success didn’t come to pass. best, Sally
@ Alex…i think he will win man 14 …..everyone was saying that nadal could easily win 20 slams ….
Its impossible to maintain the same fitness level and his game style will take a toll on his body like nadal …
@ Sally…whenever u predict about Roger winning the slam , it has unfortunately gone wrong 🙂
Samarjeet, you’re right about my Federer predictions apart from my first one, Wimbledon 2012! I’m going to stop now and not make any more predictions about him 🙂 He’s going to be 35 next year and age is always going to count against him (which means he’ll probably go and win one more to shut me up! Lol…) best, Sally
Didn’t see your prediction going this wrong for a while Sally. Keep us entertained.
I’m so thrilled about Djoker’s 10th slam.
Yup, not my best prediction, was it? Intriguing astrology this time around and quite bamboozling. Will write my update later today trying to unravel what happened and what I missed. best, Sally
Sally didn’t predict for Federer.. she juts said planets are good. Then if you have the will power of Djokovic and hunger to achieve, you can win as his horoscope is very strong and Federer already achieved lots of things and he doesn’t have that passion. Today’s match could have easily been won by Roger if only he played a little more consistent and converted more of the break points. I thought Roger’s planets were good but there is no will to win.
Khar, I’m not sure you’re right about Federer’s will to win? I think it’s still there but as the final was a real fight, perhaps Djokovic’ level of stamina surpassed Federer? Plus Djokovic was consistent yet again and Federer didn’t convert the break points. If he’d done that, it could well have been a different result. The top matches against the top players turn on small factors usually. I do wonder how it must affect Federer not winning a Grand Slam now since mid-2012? He’s been defeated in a few finals since then and Djokovic is his nemesis. That has got to have an effect too I would imagine. best, Sally
Agreeing with your opinion, Sally. Roger seemed to have the form for beating Djokovic in last Grand Slam finals but it appears that he lost believe in himself to succeed at Grand Slam Level as he waits for a title since 13 tournaments.
Djokovic has a huge game without any severe weakness but I think what makes the difference besides his perfectionism and ambitiousness, is his mental strength which he has intentionally built rom year to year. Andy Murray f.e. is equal in his abilties in my opinion, but he is not as strong emotionally/mentally. When it comes to crunch points in match he struggles as well against Nole, losing 6-0 in last set in Melbourne.
There’s an interesting article about Djokovic telling more about this factor:
http://mobile.nytimes.com/2015/09/11/fashion/mens-style/novak-djokovic-how-to-be-a-champion.html?referrer=
best,
Patrick
Thanks Patrick. Really interesting article. best, Sally
I think there is something wrong with Djokovic’s time that Sally has..
There are two times for Djokovic, Khar, one is 10:35 am giving him a Leo Ascendant. I still stand by the 11:25 pm time. He’s a Capricorn Ascendant definitely, Saturn ruled – there’s Mr Consistent. best, Sally
Better player won. There isnt if in sports.
Djokovic is in his prime for sure. best, Sally
Exactly.
Well, Federer didn’t win but he did well. I personally don’t find Novak an interesting player to watch. I found the finals in both men and women disappointing, to say the least because something was lacking. Maybe the weather dampened the energy. I don’t know. However, the matches in the first week were top-notch and drama filled, but in the second week, they were flat. This is just my opinion.
A side note for Sally, thank you for this posting–I have learned a lot and I will continue to navigate through your site to learn more about astrology.
Cheers,
Mac
Thanks Mac. Just catching up with the final comments and then it’s over and out for 2015! best, Sally

Hola Juan
I got a burning question when will the Quardature Saturn – sun come out of Roger Birth chart?.
Thank you
Hola.
La cuadratura Sol-Saturno era en Revolución Solar 2014. Ya está fuera. Terminó el 8/08/2015. Ahora Federer está bajo una RS bastante mejor. Y sigue con una dirección primaria extraordinaria: Jupiter conjunto Ascendente natal.
Yo creo que va a lograr algo grande en los próximos meses. Y continuará con este tenis brillante.

Hola Juan
Thank you for answering my question
Is Roger Solar Return is good for year 2016- 2017?
When will Djokovic going to be stop?
Thank you
Here Juan reply
Hello.
Sol-Saturno quadrature was in revolution Solar 2014. It is already out. He finished 8/08/2015. Federer is now under a RS rather better. And continues with an extraordinary primary address: Jupiter set up home.
I believe that he will achieve something big in the coming months. And it will continue with this brilliant tennis.

Juan sounds confident! best, Sally
Brilliant prediction, Juan. Well done! See you in 2016. best, Sally
Finally ur prediction went wrong
Yes, finally it did! You can’t get it right all the time 🙂 Let’s see what 2016 brings. best, Sally
I stick to my prediction that Djokovic can win 15-17 slams. His competition is incredibly weak.
@Alex
Djokovic is coming to the end of his peak, he will be 29 next year. That is old for a tennis player.
Djokovic and Murray will have their Saturn Return next year. Nadal is going through his.
The max Djokovic can win is 12 to 15.
I agree with Alex that Djokovic has no real competition in the near term unless Nishikori catches fire next season or Wawrinka becomes Mr. Consistent. Federer is mentally strong but if you are playing without winning trophies particularly grand slams you will lose belief. Federer was never good against very physical game that Djoko or Nadal have, he ven had problems with Murray in initial days.
I keep expecting someone new to step forward to take their place in the Big Four but it’s not really happened yet. best, Sally
Maybe the bad luck jamesgreen talks about is when Novak fell
Roger’s fan
The year Roger turned 28 was in 2009 and he won 2 slams that year.
Last year Nadal turned 28 and only won 1 slam.
In 2015 Djokovic turned 28 but he won 3 slams!
Djokovic will age much better than them. At 28 he is doing much better than they did at that age. He’s won almost all the tournaments his entered in 2015. Can’t say the same about 28 year Roger who only won 4 titles in 2009. Or Nadal who only won 4 titles last year. 28 year old Djokovic is better.
5 to 7 more slams is very possible because his competition is very weak and his body is very well taken care of. He has 5 more years to win slams imo.
Roger’s fan
Don’t forget that Sally said that Saturn is a good planet for Djokovic. A Saturn return for someone like him could be winning the elusive RG after hard work which could happen after years of trying to win the RG title and Saturn is a good planet for him… Saturn is a bad planet for Nadal. It is diferent.
Alex
Everyone goes through their Saturn return and it depends where in their bith chart.
Yes but none of the players won a Slam at 29.
Sally,
Can the Saturn return affect Djokovic next year? You said that Saturn is Djokovic friend.
The Saturn return means different things to different people – endings or committing to a new path in life. It always depends what it rules in your chart and where it is. Nadal has struggled with Saturn because it’s been in his 1st house (physical body) and he has a tough Saturn opposition in his own chart. I don’t think it will affect Djokovic in the same way. He’s already experienced Saturn opposite his Sun (Jan 2015) and that was the start of a stellar year. best, Sally
Yes, I believe that Saturn works well for Djokovic. best, Sally
Federer post 28 faced way tougher competition than Djokovic will. Federer had to deal with peak Nadal, peak Djokovic and peak Murray after 28. Djokovic is in way different situation because there is no peak all time great to dethrone him in the near future. The generation of players born post 1990 is really poor… The all time greats like Federer and Nadal are old and past it now… Murray is not the player he was during the Lendl years. After his back surgery he is weaker now. The players that could beat him like Federer, Nadal and Murray are weaker now and the younger players are not good enough. 5 to 7 more slams for Djokovic is very possible. He has taken great care of his body through the years, unlike Nadal. So it looks like Djokovic will continue to win slams for some more years.
Alex,
Alright, you’re obviously entitled to your opinion. I respectfully disagree. Yes, right now Djokovic is supremely dominant and I still can’t believe you’re ruling out Murray. He has looked his best on clay for a while and made 1 final and 2 semis. His victory over Djokovic in Montreal was HUGE for his mental state. He will win more slams, unquestionably.
The thing about tennis, Like I said earlier, especially when athletes reach such an age, is that you’re due a poor year, i.e Federer 2013, Nadal 2015. You’re thinking Djokovic has 5 years more to win slams regularly. He won’t, it will be a miracle if that happens.
You’re saying his competition is weak because you’re assuming the rest of the Big 3 members are all done winning slams. The 1990s generation has not inspired yet but they will get there at some point. Also, you’re forgetting that Djokovic from 2012 to 2014 reached 3 slam finals every year but won just 1 every year. If he was not winning atleast 2 out of 3 slam finals during his absolute peak, what makes you think, he’s going to do it after 28? It defies logic but sure there’s a minimal chance it could happen.
Sally, usted dice que Djokovic es Ascendente Capricornio. ¿Cómo se explica la consagración de Djokovic ayer, con esa carta?
Yo con la carta de Ascendente en Leo encontré los testimonios de exitos. Los mismos que mencioné en mi predicción inicial, hace 2 semanas.
Saludos
Hi Sally
This is what Juan said for you:
Sally, you say that Djokovic is ascendant Capricorn. How come the consecration of Djokovic yesterday, with this letter?
I letter of ascendant in Leo found the testimonies of success. The same as I mentioned in my initial prediction, 2 weeks ago.
Best regards

I’ve replied to him. Thank you, Sally
hi Juan, I have revised my thoughts on the tournament chart as you will see in the Update on the US Open Tennis 2015. Hindsight is a wonderful thing 🙂 I didn’t see Djokovic’ astrology so strong for this tournament though which is why I didn’t choose him to win. However, with the Capricorn Ascendant he does have Pluto sextile his Midheaven all year plus Uranus conjunct lucky Jupiter and it’s been one of his best years so far even with Saturn starting to oppose his Gemini planets. I am also researching into Djokovic’ time of birth and hope to have further information in time for the 2016 season. best, Sally
Hola Sally.
Entiendo que con el supuesto Asc Cap, Djokovic tendría un sextil de Pluton al MC. No me parece tan fuerte como todos los demas testimonios de exito, con la carta Asc Leo.
Para mi es un Asc Leo con Sol en Geminis y Venus en Tauro. Mire todas sus payasadas, imitaciones a demas jugadores, personalidad extrovertida, etc. Pero además, fijese que cuando Jupiter le hizo aspecto armonico a Venus (regente de su MC y presente alli), el jugador serbio ganó Grand Slams:
Enero 2008 = gana Australia. Júpiter a principios de Capricornio.
Julio y Septiembre 2011, Enero 2012 = gana Wimbledon, US Open y Australia. Júpiter a principios de Tauro.
Septiembre 2015 = gana US Open. Júpiter a principios de Virgo.
Nunca perdió un Grand Slam con Jupiter “bendiciendo” a su Venus.
Pero respeto su postura Sally.
Saludos!!
Thanks for your comment, Juan. Venus is linked to his career in both the Capricorn Ascendant chart and the Leo Ascendant chart so the Jupiter connections to Venus work for both. What is clear about the Capricorn Ascendant chart is that it shows his marriage and fatherhood so clearly. The timing is perfect for his relationship as Jupiter dominates his 7th house of relationships. With the Capricorn Ascendant chart, he married on the day that the Sun was conjunct his relationship point – perfect!
I would love to get the definitive answer to this and see the birth certificate myself. If I can do any research on Djokovic over the next few months, I will. I’ve already contacted a few astrologers in Serbia to try and get more info.
One other thing – the Sun Gemini is the joker; the Capricorn Ascendant fits his looks. I never warmed to him at first, he looks so serious until he lets his playful side show. More conviction for the Capricorn Ascendant but yes, I respect your thoughts too.
best, Sally
Djokovic could go the Serena way. Winning more slams after 28 than before. With the state of men’s tennis it is very possible. The early to mid 90s generation is the worst generation I have ever seen. hopeless.
Roger’s fan
Agassi won 3 slams at 29! RG 1999, USO 1999 and AO 2000!
i see djokovic winning 3 slams at 29 as well. Agassi also had weak competition back then.
Andre didn’t win a lot of slams–due to being distracted by sponsors and celebrity-hood, and pressure. However he won a calendar slam, not even Pete Sampras has done nor Novak. As for people saying it due to a weak competition is wrong, in my opinion. Did Federer, Laver, Sampras win so many slams because they were in a weak competition, or Steffi Graf for that matter? I find that explanation a bit redundant and not fair to the players.
Cheers,
Mac
Agassi won 5 slams from 29 to 32 years old. Djokovic is better than Agassi and faces weak competition. So if Agassi won 5 slams from 29 to 32 years old then Djokovic who is a better and more complete player can win 5 to 7 slams from 29 to 32 years old.
@Alex : That’s because Andre won just 3 Grand Slams till he was about 29 and was not as spent as Djokovic. Djokovic has won 10 GS so far and is 28. 5-7 is unrealistic. He could win another 3-4 at the most.
Underrate Djokovic at your own peril. The current competition is very weak and he is going through his prime. Crystal clear. I say 15 to 17 slams is very possible.
Alex
Djokovic will win at least 3 more tops. It depends on the Astrology and draws. He won’t reach Federer amount. Djokovic will reach Nadals account.
We have to wait and see what happens!
I do not underrate Djokovic. We have to wait and see what the outcome for next year. Next year might be different. Djokovic got a lot to defend. Let see how he does and go from there.
Alex,
Weak? Be fair. Novak got beat by worthy opponents in a few slams–Stan and a slew of others, and I am not saying this because I dislike the guy. It is a fact.
Cheers,
Mac
Djokovic’s decline , inevitably, starts next year. Crystal clear.
… because?
Hi tennisbuf,
I am curious too. Why do you say that?
Cheers,
Mac
Alex – I am swallowing my wishful thinking (I’m a Fed fan) that Roger will maintain his 17 slams as a record. Djokovic has no weakness in his game and no signs of wearing out. I think he will topple Roger’s slam record, sadly. But when I have time I will look at the astrology for the next few years and see if I re-evaluate that opinion. Roger has the desire but not at the level of a player who has not yet achieved mega-heights, which is Novak’s state of mind now.
Interesting, Susan. Thanks for your comment. best, Sally
Federer has got one more Slam in him. I believe that. The draw has to be right for Roger. Never write Roger off.
My prediction
1. Federer: 17
2. Djokovic: 15-17
3. Nadal: 14
4. Murray: 3
@Alex
We cannot see far ahead. So have to see what the outcome in next year’s GS.
Let’s wait and see.
Alex, it seems you revise your predictions based on every year based on your writing rhetoric. I guess time will tell how right you were.
I made my predictions at the start of 2012 and I’ll repeat them again:
1. Federer: 16-17
2. Nadal: 15-16
3. Djokovic: 13-14
4. Murray: 4-5
Sally, you know what one of your predictions last year was awesome? I dont know if you still remember or not., your prediction for last year’s Roland Garros, you said Djokovic doesnt have an extraodinary astrology for a grand slam in 2014, (although you predicted he win Wimbledon last year and he actually won it ) but his 2015 will be huge. And now we can say his 2015 is absolutely huge, he reached at least the final in every tournamnet he entered except the very first one (Doha), that’s unbelivable!
So thank you Sally for your prediction!
Thank you for reminding me Djokovicfan! That makes me feel much better about my prediction for this tournament. best, Sally
One things is for sure.. this blog has become very popular in 2015 with almost 500 comments on this tournament blog.
I know! A tennis forum and astrology blog 🙂 best, Sally
First off, I am very sad for Roger not winning the match and I was really depressed when Serena lost. The US Open started really great for me in my opinion since both of my favorite players were doing well, and not the tournament is huge disappointment. But I am happy that Roger reached the final because he said that it was a huge goal for him to get back to the final, and Serena won three slams this year so I can’t really complain. So tennis fandom goes on. Here’s to hoping that Roger and Serena can win the World Tour finals.
Can I also say I remember people saying the same things about Nadal, and how he going to dominant for years to come, so what happened to that? Things can change in tennis on dime, I mean Andy and Stan could dominant next year, who knows? I just think that people just jump a bandwagon too fast. I mean would it surprise anyone if Nadal bounced back next year and won a couple majors?
hi Lisa, I think you’re right. There are so many variables in sport played at such a high level. Injuries, for one thing, as with Nadal. Plus if you’ve been a champion before, get everything right physically/mentally/emotionally and you can be a champion again. Agreed. best, Sally
So right Lisa, who knows if not a newcomber arises next year competing with the best?? We don’t know how fast youngsters as Zverev gonna be Top 10 or if older player make a breakthrough as Wawrinka did in recent years.
Djokovic could be injured as well, what I don’thope for him. There’s no sense in predicting future Grand Slams rather than enjoying uncertainty about it.
Nice update Sally with retrospection analysing the chart seems so clear. Venus retrograde links to the women, Serena, who of course is a sun sign Libra and falling prey to the retrograde energy and Mars representing the Men. In particular Djokovic. Also the solar eclipse was a silent killer in my opinion. I completely forgot that Serena had a Virgo Moon and with the eclipse hitting this point in her chart as Juan pointed out caused some havoc for her. We also saw this with Marin Cillic whose chart has a Virgo rising ascendant, which was rectified and he developed an ankle injury. Of course Federer has a Virgo ascendant and his strength was nullified on the day of the final also the day of the eclipse. You have to admire how the heavens wrote the script for this grandslam as there was a lot of detail which confused us all.
I’m glad for Djokovic though. He is a child of war and grew up in a turbulent period of his country’s history. He is not easily liked and a definite underdog doing well. I think it’s time he should be given the respect he deserves. 10 grand slams is very impressive.
Don’t be disheartened Sally you did well. Look at all the comments on this thread!
Thanks, Shelley. I don’t get easily disheartened and I do love the magic of astrology even when you see the symbolism more clearly after the event. The Virgo eclipse fell in my own 6th house, my work, and Virgo rules writing, so there’s the wrong prediction too! Eclipses can be blind spots and hard to predict until after the event. I do agree re. Djokovic. I’ve warmed to him over the years and I think his personality has softened too. He’s learned how to appeal to the public more but growing up in a war zone cannot be easy and I’m sure you have to toughen up to survive. I was reading recently he used to practice tennis in a sunken swimming pool as it was safer than playing on a tennis court! best, Sally
Isnt’t that a bit free interpretation? To say that retrograd Venus was the astrological cause for Serena.
If Serena had won you could use Sally’s first prediction that “Mars + Venus are strong in her birth chart and the Mars/Venus conjunction near MC helping her.” Or “Mars, ruler of the AC in Scorpio, was representing Serena as being the favorite”.
If Venus represents women why should only Serena Women have been influenced negatively? Representing the non-favorite/underdog (ruler of DC), couldn’t a weakened Venus much more mean the favorite is strengthened by a weakened underdog??
Maybe it was just the mental factor which caused Serena the defeat? Who knows? She obviously put tremendous pressure on herself and couldn’t handle that.
I missed the solar eclipse on Serena’s Moon too in her chart – that would have had an effect astrologically. Re. the Venus retrograde – I do think Venus represents the favourite woman in the chart because it’s up close to the Midheaven, next to the Mars. That’s my interpretation of the symbolism admittedly but that’s how it spoke to me. Astrologically it’s lovely symbolism; the no. 1 man (Mars) and no. 1 woman (Venus) on the Midheaven (success point). Will they both do well? Mars is strong, Venus is weak. Yes, no. I love that symbolism – when it’s simple, it’s magical. best, Sally
Alex
I agree with you predictions and your interesting stats on players aged 28 and how many titles they’ve won.
Exactly. 28 year Djokovic is much better than 28 year old Federer or Nadal.
28 year old Djokovic dominates the tour, unlike what Federer and Nadal did at that age. Djokovic will age better than them. 29, 30, 31 and 32 year old Djokovic will be better than their version at that age. Weaker competition than what Federer had at that age and a better physique than what Nadal has or will have, although I see Nadal retiring way before 32….
From 28-32 I can see Djokovic winning 5 to 7 more slams. I can see him maybe retiring in 2021 or so.
Alex,
I disagree with your rhetoric . Moving on.
Cheers,
Mac
28yrd old Fed back in 2009 was in the final of all 4 slams in case you forgot and won two. This included the FO which may elude Novak! He could have won 3 after winning first set against Delpotro at US Open.
@Alex: I don’t accept your view that ‘Murray has declined big time….’ You are not acknowledging the surgery and how long that took to heal. 2014 wasn’t his best year but 2015 he has started to return to the player he once was. Rome wasn’t built in a day and he’s only recently been playing with conviction.
Murray has, at last had a breakthrough on clay, winning 2 titles on clay this year; one of them Masters in Madrid. He has also won another Masters – Montreal, where he finally beat Djokovic. One has to look at the bigger picture.
I have a feeling that Murray has a couple of slams left in him – and whilst Djokovic is very consistent, no one can win everything all the time.
What goes up must come down – and all players have dips in form and injuries. They are not superhuman after all. Federer had a bad year in 2013, Murray in 2014. Watch this space. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if Murray won at least one slam in 2016….
As for Federer, his best chance is still on grass and perhaps the Olympics. Time will tell!
It’s interesting too that Murray and Djokovic are born exactly one week apart – one a late Taurus, the other an early Gemini – so both of them have similar transits going on at the same time. I think we’ll see more of Murray – awesome player when he’s on form. And yes, I agree with Federer, grass is his favourite surface. best, Sally
Lucy,
Well-said!
Cheers,
Mac
Sally,
When you look at one’s astrological chart, what factors do you consider? How does one’s outlook consistently maintain?
Cheers,
Mac
I can’t answer that in a comment, Mac! The skill with looking at a chart is to hone in on what’s most significant. A chart can reveal so much information not only about personality, strengths & weaknesses but also events in your life, people you meet, significant life events. It’s a real art to read it well. Fascinating stuff. best, Sally
Hi Sally,
Thank you for your response. I agree that it is fascinating and a lot of work.
Cheers,
Mac
Hi Sally.
I am wondering when Djokovic astrology going to change to let others win for a change?
Djokovic has got a lot to defend next year so when are we going to see changes in Djokovic chart?
Kind Regards
It depends what happens next year when he’s having his Saturn return. An astrological symbol is never one-dimensional, it can play out in different ways and you always have to look at the astrology in context to what’s happening in peoples’ lives. There is always flexibility as astrology is not rigid like a science. Hope that helps. best, Sally
Hi Sally you are right predicting with eclipses is very tricky. i got that wrong. from the sidereal astrology point of view djokovic had very good astrology during the usopen. his birth time of 23.24.48 (i have slightly rectified his birth time) shows sagitarius rising at about 23 degrees. his mc falls at about 21 degrees in libra but as per equal house system his 10th lord is mercury (10th house falls exactly 90 degrees behind the ascending degree) and mercury was transiting very close to that degree during the usopen and especially on the day of the final.he is also running the main period of south node and the sub period of mercury .before the uso began i thought djokovic has a very good chance but after seeing your prediction that a newcomer will win i kept quiet. normally your predictions come out very correct. you need not change his birth time from what you are using.his events like marriage and child birth are clearly shown by the birth time of 23.25
I agree about his marriage and becoming a father – so clear with the Capricorn Ascendant. It shows big-time for him and Jelena and Jupiter’s been blessing his 7th house of relationships since last year. best, Sally
When someone is dominating, we always think there is no end to the dominance. People Said RF is going to have 25 slams as he w as winning like crazy for 3 years and then Nadal, he looked unbeatable. Novak looked vulnerable this year in earlier grand slam matches and it needs slowing down a little for players to beat you in earlier rounds. I am not saying Djoko. Can’t do it but not as easy as it looks on paper.
From USA Today – Novak Djokovic won’t catch Roger Federer’s Grand Slam mark
For years, the only tennis debate worth having was whether Rafael Nadal would beat Roger Federer’s record of 17 career Grand Slam titles. Now, with Nadal essentially kicked to the side, there’s a new player in the debate, one who could have an even better chance of displacing Federer from the top of record books, the same way he kept him off the winner’s podium Sunday night at the U.S. Open.
Novak Djokovic won his 10th Grand Slam title Sunday (and third of 2015), putting him seven overall behind Federer and four behind Nadal, months after his 28th birthday during a season that is every bit as good as his historic 2011. The match against The Fed might end up being one of those career-defining moments we’ll look back on as the start of Novak making hi serious push to become the greatest in history. That’s not hyperbole. This final was critically important in the Grand Slam numbers game tennis fans have been playing for years.
If Federer had won, he would have been up 18 to nine in majors, double Djokovic’s total. That would have meant Novak would have needed his entire career output through age 28, plus another Slam on top of that to pass Federer. Ten Slams after turning 28? That’s asking too much.
Instead, Djokovic wins and it’s now 17-10. Instead of being down 10, he’s down eight, a flip-flop of two, like when two playoff contenders face off in baseball. With eight Grand Slams to go, it suddenly looks very realistic. The scenario is easy: Novak wins two Slams a year over the next three years, then sneaks one or two into his early-to-mid 30s to overtake Federer and become the GOAT.
That’s what Mats Wilander, seven-time Grand Slam champion and noted Djokovic supporter, thinks will happen. Here’s the Swede, as quoted in S.L. Price’s fine Djokovic piece in Sports Illustrated (emphasis added):
“He’s averaging two a year now: why shouldn’t he do it for the next three years? I have no idea. He’s going to catch Roger. I think he’s The Man. There’s no player he doesn’t like playing. There’s no surface he doesn’t like playing on. He has a kid and a wife and if he’s that humble now after that win, that tells me he’s not really playing for the present. He’s playing to be known as the best player of all time.”
It all seems so predestined now, as if it’d be a miracle Djokovic didn’t win eight more Slams given the way he’s playing right now. But remember, as recently as 22 months ago, it looked all but assured Rafael Nadal would be the one to pass Federer. He was facing an overmatched Stan Wawrinka in the Australian Open final, a title would have given him No. 14. Then he’d win the 2014 French (15 Slams) and be just two away with a few French Opens left still in his prime. Then everything collapsed, Nadal lost to Wawrinka, got that French in ’14, but hasn’t been close to a Slam since. It can all go away, just like that.
Roger Federer is the gold standard for players maintaining a high level of play into their 30s. But even he, the greatest older player in the history of tennis, has just two Slams since hitting the big 3-0. So, Djokovic will be 30 in May of 2017, meaning he has five Grand Slams left before hitting that (admittedly) arbitrary mark. Let’s say he wins three. That puts him at 13, against Federer’s 17. Could Djokovic win five after turning 30 if Federer has only won two? (And this doesn’t even allow for the fact that Federer could very easily get one more Slam on his résumé.)
No matter what the final number is, Djokovic wants it.
“I would not be truthful to you if I would say I’m not thinking about [breaking the record],” he told Christopher Clarey of The New York Times. “Of course I am.”
But does he have enough time?

P.S. – Novak almost lost to Kevin Anderson at Wimbledon this year, so nothing is a given.
Interesting. Thanks for posting, Lisa, and I agree it will be hard for him to catch Roger’s record. Even with all the best-laid plans, life sometimes gets in the way and your luck dips at crucial moments. best, Sally
So much philosophizing.
The end of the article presents a realistic picture that Djokovic soon is over 30 and his abilities might decrease. Contrary to many people saying he’ll overtake Roger soon.
Let’s see, nobody knows his future rivals.
Hi,
what sally is predicting on this us open 2015 is correct.Novak is the new winner of flushing meadows but the thinks were not going good for fedex and if the match starts at the right time as per schedule djkoer could loose the match and the luck was not favour to him.defently djoker wont reach the mile stone of 18 gs.7 more from age of 28 is practically not possible even he has strong astro.on the final match fedex was little bit exhausted physically which made him to not to convert his many break points and missed many winning opportunities all because of the rain delay the match.Djoker loss his ability from now he played with hiss full stuff for the last one year.if any one think beyond ur limit think that djoko will win 18 gs and also complete career slam.
thanks and warm regards,
G Saravanan.
Just to off topic for a bit, I really hope that Andy Murray and the entire Davis Cup team win the Davis Cup this year. I know he wants it so badly, so I am rooting hard for him. I just the stars are looking favorably for Great Britain.
Me too! I haven’t looked at the astrology yet. It’s after the ATP World tour, I think? I did hear a slight rumour that he might not play at that and conserve his energy for the Davis Cup. best, Sally
