Double Pisces, Doubly Influenced?
On the eve of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, it seemed obvious to us that Simone Biles deserved an article, given her uniqueness in sports and her exemplary astrological chart.
This Pisces native, doubly so as her Ascendant is also in Pisces, indeed perfectly embodies the characteristics of this sign, both positive and negative.
The future artistic gymnastics champion will be welcomed as a star at the Paris Olympics. She already has an exceptional career with 4 Olympic titles and 37 world medals, including 23 gold medals.
In a sport as demanding as hers, knowing that she has already experienced several interruptions in her career, such longevity is extremely rare. Moreover, she is not expected in the French capital for a mere honorary appearance, but rather as the top favorite.
However, Simone Biles had a difficult start. Daughter of a drug-addicted mother, the Ohio-born American was often left to herself, finding distraction only by watching other children play on the trampoline. This would be the beginning of her vocation, but first, social services intervened, and she was placed, along with her sister, with her grandparents in Texas.
Simone Biles was born when Venus, the Sun, and Mercury were rising in the sign of Pisces. We are dealing with a child who follows her intuition, attracted to beauty, despite a family background that was far from ideal. Very sensitive, she draws deep lessons from her experiences. She refuses to forgive her mother and is adopted by her grandparents.
During a school outing, an instructor noticed her skill on the apparatus and suggested she join a gymnastics club.
Although she started later than most other champions, Simone Biles quickly surpassed them, viewing gymnastics as an outlet. Pisces need to expiate the sufferings of others, and her journey perfectly illustrates this.
A Netflix series produced in 2024 traces the life of Simone Biles with an edifying title: "The Sacrifices of a Champion."
Neptune Imposes Its Demands in the Name of an Ideal
Ruling Pisces, Neptune is positioned at the last degree of Capricorn, a particular position known as the anaretic degree. This 30th degree, right before the sign change, encapsulates the entire symbolism of the sign.
For Biles, Neptune even plays a crucial role, asserting its dominance over the planetary cluster and the Pisces Ascendant.
It is connected to Mars by a beautiful trine, which we will discuss further, and to the Moon in Gemini. This configuration suggests a personality driven by a sporting ideal, as well as physical and psychic flexibility.
As a teenager, she became a workhorse, adding two hours of training per day thanks to a change of school that granted her more free time.
Her first competitions allowed her to progress, win her first checks, and be welcomed into a training camp run by Márta Károlyi, a famous figure in the field. At sixteen, she was admitted to the American team, one of the best in the world, but she was still too young to participate in the London Games.
Her crowning moment followed in 2014, at the World Championships, and especially in Rio, where she swept everything. Then came the time for her first break, allowing her to process these incredible successes.
The Moon Opposed to Pluto Evokes Hidden Pains
Like other gymnasts, Simone Biles suffered sexual abuse at the hands of a doctor for the American team.
In 2021, she found the strength to testify before Congress: "I am here because I do not want others to experience the horror that I and hundreds of others have endured. We suffer and continue to suffer because no one did the right thing to protect us."
The Pisces native finally found words that carry weight, especially thanks to her status. Her Moon in the 3rd house, opposed to Pluto in the 9th sector, particularly evokes this type of trauma and the context, that is, the downside of fame.
However, as we have seen, her natal Moon is fortunately part of a Grand Trine, which gave her the courage to bounce back.
Inexplicable Withdrawal in Tokyo
It is clear that a Pisces native often internalizes their true feelings without fully understanding them. At the Tokyo Games in 2021, Simone Biles again drew all the media attention. It was there that she broke down.
Considered one of the greatest gymnasts of all time, she is the only one in the world capable of performing certain spectacular and risky jumps.
During the first rotation, she missed a move and eventually withdrew from the competition.
No one understood what was happening to her, and she later had to explain that she needed to focus on her mental health, having suffered from attention deficit disorder since childhood.
"Seriously, I don't understand how to do twists. It's the strangest and weirdest feeling. It's honestly petrifying to try to do a move but not have your mind and body in sync," she said to justify herself, particularly in the Pisces style, that is, in a state of complete disarray.
Mars in Virgo or Perfectionism to the Extreme
Considered an explosive fighter, Simone Biles knows how to establish a routine to withstand enormous pressure. Since her successes, she has become much more than a technician of her sport: she is a star, one of the highest-paid and most popular athletes in the United States.
Her Mars in Virgo plays a crucial role in managing stress. The red planet is opposed to the trio of planets in Pisces. This aspect is exact with the Sun and Mercury, the latter ruling this retrograde Mars. Thus, we are dealing with a perfectionist incarnate. This astrological configuration generates great inner nervousness, coupled with a feeling of insecurity.
Fortunately for her, as we have seen, she possesses real competitive qualities and her analytical skills and experience should help her better prepare for her arrival in Paris this month.
Married in 2023, Simone Biles now has other priorities beyond gymnastics and should end her career on a high note. Currently, she is experiencing the transit of Saturn over her Venus, which will then touch her Sun and Mercury, likely marking her farewell to a sport that has given her so much.
