Celebrity Astrology: Kim Clijsters – The Retirement of a Tennis Ace
May 7, 2007 by admin
This weekend, Kim Clijsters announced her immediate retirement from tennis. Given that Clijsters is 23 years old, retirement seems a tad early. Still, tennis professionals such as Clijsters have a 15 to 20 year intense career behind them by their mid-20s, so her wanting to do something different is rather understandable. I was curious to see how Clijsters’s highflying sports career is shown in her horoscope, and also whether we can see her retirement in the chart. The best birth data we have for her was that she was born at 2:17 a.m. on June 8, 1983 in Bilzen, Belgium. It is not super reliable, and hence given a Rodden rating of C, but it is all we have; if you know of a documented birth time for Clijsters, I would love to hear about it.
The horoscope for Kim Clijsters is below:
Since her fame and profession are related to playing tennis, we would expect both Mars and the fifth house to be dominant in some way. Mars tends to be important for professional athletes, and so is the fifth house of games. Indeed, Clijsters has Mars conjunct the Sun in the hot and moist sign Gemini. Therefore, the hot and active nature of Mars and the Sun is accentuated, and we can see that playing sports would be a very appropriate outlet for someone with this much nervous energy!
The fifth house of games is engaged as well; Jupiter rules the 10th house of the career and fame, and it is trine Venus in Leo, another hot sign, in the fifth house. Note that this Venus, being in Leo, is ruled by the Sun, which is so very Marsy. So this is a very intense, high energy chart, but luckily, the outlet of sports is available here.
Note, by the way, how the strong, exalted Moon in Taurus is conjunct the second house cusp of money, and squares Venus (ruler of the second house of money) in the fifth house of games. The Moon is ruled by Venus, so we can say that games will bring money. I wonder if Clijsters gambles much? The Moon is also square the Part of Fortune, further indicating money from games. The fact that the Moon is exalted rather than in its own sign of Cancer, indicates that Clijsters will seem to have more money than she really does, though she will still have plenty.
Clijsters’s solar return horoscope for this year is particularly interesting. We know that Jupiter rules her career, so we will take a look at what is going on with her career in 2007. Jupiter is in the second house of money in Scorpio, exactly opposed by Venus in Taurus in the eighth house. Venus rules her natal house of money, so we get a sense that her money, which is in very good shape (Venus is in its own sign of Taurus) is hindering her career. Perhaps she feels she has made enough money and now wants to enjoy it. Certainly a worthwhile reason to retire!
