The foretaste of decline and fall was
brief for the greatest of men’s tennis players, who went on to win 17 grand
slam titles and seven Wimbledon crowns. With
each victory came an inflation of his aura and his self-belief, which even now
refuses to be weakened by a comprehensive second-round defeat to Sergiy
Stakhovsky. Federer said of his fans: “They’ll get over it. I’ll get over it.”
But will he? Will tennis? The age of the big four - one of the greatest
concentrations of talent ever in any sport - looks to be breaking up, along
with the age of elegance ushered in by Federer, who took a TARDIS from the
1920s to take over from Sampras. Revisiting Rafael Nadal’s first-round exit
here, and Federer’s fall two days later, you see just how blessed men’s tennis
has been over the past 10 years, and how Wimbledon
might struggle for glamour, brilliance and edge if the quartet is reduced to a
duo of Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray.
In this
post we will see how the lunar eclipse of May 25, 2013 is signalling the
possible end of an era in Tennis that
the news item is pointing to. A chart
for the eclipse shows it prominently placed on the horizon axis at London Neptune [5pi20]. The asteroid Kron
like the TNP Kronos is associated with the famous, those in the spotlight,
leaders, ambition, that which is worth pursuing etc. Neptune
amongst other things is associated with disillusionment so that we can combine
the two to see that the eclipse is pointing to a disillusionment with the famous
or even what is touted as worth pursuing. Progressing the eclipse to June 24
when Nadal lost we see that the Grand Cross of Pluto-Uranus-Kronos-Hades-Zeus
straddles the horizon axis.
Kronos-Hades : decline
of the famous
Pluto-Uranus : end of
an era
In the previous post Astrology on the State of
the American Workplace we saw how the New Moon solar eclipse of May 10 was pointing to disillusionment with
work and ‘success’ . If we progress this eclipse at Wimbledon to June 24 we once again see the same Grand
Cross aligned with the meridian axis with obviously the same message. This is
an example of how in astrology events that at first sight appear to have
nothing whatever to do with each other are shown to be intimately connected. Extracting
the underlying principle that these events reveal depends on our power to perceive patterns of
meaning.
