Analysis of Serena Williams's astrological chart

Libra, a Team Player

Serena Williams is an outstanding tennis player. She is the only woman who have won 23 Grand Slam singles titles during the Open era (the modern days), not to mention the 14 doubles titles she earned with her sister Venus Williams, and 2 in mixed doubles, making a total of 39 titles.

It is unlikely that whoever can beat this incredible score. Olympic medals and all records accumulated must be added to the list. She was ranked world n° 1 in singles by the WTA for 309 consecutive weeks.

Her natal chart shows an extremely prominent Libra, in which are posited not less than 5 planets, namely the Sun, Saturn, Mercury, Jupiter, and Pluto. The first two planets are in loose conjunction, which reflects her demands and the efforts she made, firstly towards herself, to reach this level.

In addition, perhaps she wanted above all to fit the champion image that her father (Saturn), who was also her coach, hoped for.

When she started out, she was in the slipstream of her elder sister, Venus. This background speaks volumes about the fact that Serena relied on the presence of the members of her family. She considered them to be her partners, in all the meanings of the word, related to the values of her very domineering Sun sign.

Last year, King Richard (La méthode Williams in French), a biographical film on how their father Richard trained his daughters Venus and Serena to practice tennis, paid tribute to this well-known family saga.

As far as Serena is concerned, there is no doubt that she would not have experienced such a success, had she not directly benefitted from her dear father's teachings.

Discipline First and Foremost with the Stellium in the 6th and the Moon in Virgo

Actually, the personality of this champion is and odd blend of great pride and modesty. It must be said that the Moon in Virgo probably explains this feature, just as the Ascendant in Taurus, which endows her with a strong physical condition, as well as the propensity to work hard, with discretion and humility.

This does not prevent her from having a cheerful nature, because the Libra-Taurus Ascendant gives delicateness, elegance, and healthy epicurean joie de vivre.

Let us add that the chart ruler, Venus, is in Scorpio, the most demanding sign of the zodiac.

Serena has always found it normal to suffer to obtain what she desired most to have. Her chart highlights the 6th House, in which are posited the Sun, the Moon, Saturn, Mercury, Jupiter and Pluto, an emphasis which cannot be ignored, because this House deals with obligations, duty with its rules and discipline, and the daily lifestyle they imply.

All those features taken together have helped to establish sound foundations for Serena's career.

The Leo Touch and the Desire to Shine

However, the blazing facets of Serena are found in the position of her athletic Mars in Leo. More than once, she could be heard roaring on the court, especially when she has scored a nice point.

In her chart, this planet, which represents sports and action, forms harmonious aspects, for instance, a sextile with Jupiter and Saturn, as well as a trine with Neptune.

Mars definitely provides the assets required to shine in tennis. Serena loves to impress with her muscular body, and she has always chosen clothing which did not go unnoticed.

A Mars-venus Square for a Demanding and Passionate Woman

Owing to natal Venus in the 7th House (partnerships and marriage) in Scorpio as we have seen (intense feelings and a dash of mystery, love life is especially important to Serena.

She is able to charm and to behave engagingly (the Moon and Venus are in sextile), but with the Mars square in Leo, Williams' requirements are not always under control. In fixed signs, the slightest contrariety may quite easily hurt her or prompt her to dig in her heels, and have her climbing the walls.

There is a strong desire to win the heart of the person Serena loves. If her feelings are not rapidly reciprocated and to the best of her expectations, disappointment or clashes can hardly be avoided.

This applies more to her love affairs (Mars, the lover) than to life as a couple (the Sun, the husband). Indeed, at the end of 2017, Serena married Alexis Ohanian, the co-founder of Reddit. She has a daughter, Alexis Olympia Ohanian, and all seems to be fine for the happy parents.

The Singular Effect of Uranus, an Isolated Planet

Lastly, let us note another unusual astrological fact affecting her. In her chart, Uranus is a planet called isolated. This means that it forms no major aspect linking it to any other planet. For this reason, it plays a key role.

Uranus may be the signature of a tennis player who excels at sports, against all odds. She is an athlete of color who worked in a world poles apart from her childhood background. Who knows if she will not keep on surprising us?

In the spring of 2022, Serena, who is over 40, has not yet mentioned retiring. She even declared that she is coming back on the courts!

Upcoming Risky Transits

Until this spring, she has probably experienced less hindrances than in previous years, during which her planets in Libra have been rather strongly affected.

Nevertheless, Serena needs to be wary of the upcoming opposition that transiting Uranus - the importance of whom we have noted – will send to her natal Venus in the 7th House and, simultaneously, a square to her natal Mars in the 5th, who will start to be active as early as in the second part of the month of May.

Indeed, this configuration bodes ill for emotional matters, as well as for sports, where several unexpected events or injuries may occur, if the gorgeous sportswoman does not behave with utmost caution.
