'Golden Glamour Girl' Stephanie Rice has Neptune conjunct Australia's Sun
With her world-record-breaking victory
in the 400m individual medley at Beijing, Rice has secured Australia's 400th Summer Olympics medal. Her killer instinct in
the pool comes from Mars (the competitor) in Pisces (The Fishes) on her North Node (the soul's purpose). Moreover, her Mars
is ruled by Neptune (at 9° Capricorn in her chart) which is within one degree of Australia's Sun (at 10° Capricorn). Neptune is the planet most associated with glamour while the Sun is associated with all things
gold, and so the photogenic Rice (a multi-talented Gemini) has been dubbed the country's 'new golden girl.'

Virgo Eamon Sullivan is perfectly primed to win Gold
The champion swimmer (and underwear model)
was born with his Virgo Sun conjunct Australia's Mars, indicating that he might one day compete to win Gold for his country.
Sullivan has a 17° Scorpio Ascendant with Saturn rising at 22° Scorpio, respectively in square aspect with Mercury at 18°
Leo and Mars at 23° Leo on his Midheaven. That angular combination of intense (Scorpio) self-discipline (Saturn) and agile
(Mercury) strength (Mars) has helped him become the fastest swimmer in history. Now almost aged 23, he has the opportunity
to draw on all the training he has done (particularly since ages 17 to 18) in order to secure a Gold medal in the pool at
the Beijing Games. The planetary forces are with him! [see his astro profile] |

Casey Stoner: wins German Grand Prix under Mars transit
Gold
Coast-born motorcycle racer Casey Stoner was named Young Australian of the Year in 2008 while his Solar Arc progressed Jupiter
at 29 Aquarius formed an exact sextile with Australia's 29 Aries Ascendant. Natally, Mars is his most angular planet - making
him a tough opponent in his chosen sport. Yet now - this July - he has won the German Grand Prix in wet conditions, as transiting
Mars (at 7 Virgo) quincunxes his natal Jupiter (at 7 Aquarius). During this transit his competitive skills must have been
pushed to the limit! |
