Sui Wenjing and Han Cong 7/18/95 and 8/6/92
2022 Olympic champions, 2018 Olympic silver medalists, 2x World champions, 3x World junior champions
Wenjing is a Cancer with Aries moon: very emotional and expressive, determined and independent. Proud and more sensitive and reactive than the confident exterior suggests. She has no air in her chart, which can mean wanting connection and social interaction but also feeling misunderstood. Can lack objectivity in seeing yourself.
She is a powerful person - she has a Grand Kite and a Mystic Rectangle. These are gifts in her chart - the placements are harmoniously aligned with a lot of ease but also enough tension to motivate her to action.
Her Sun, Saturn and Pluto make a Grand Water Trine, and Mars opposite her Saturn makes it a Kite. That means all the flowing energy of her will can be powerfully channeled into action. She has Uranus and Neptune opposite her Sun, and all together these make 5 out of 6 points of a Grand Sextile. The one thing missing to make a complete and rare 6 pointed star in her chart is a Taurus placement around 26°-28°. Having the complete star strengthens the potential of every element and gives support and momentum to seize an opportunity. This is one of those times where the astrology is just too perfect. The transiting North Node, which brings increase into your life in that area, was at 26°-28° of Taurus for the entire span of the Olympics, including the day they won their gold medal.
There was also an eclipse on November 19, 2021 at 27° Taurus which already lit up this whole pattern in her chart for the 6 months until May 2022, and the Nodal transit during the Olympics heightened this sense of completion. They needed to be at their best for them to win, and the astrology was supportive.
Some of the highlights in this pattern- Sun sextile Mars: physically strong and competitive, with a fighting spirit. honest, unpretentious and direct.
Sun trine Saturn: ambitious, able to diligently persevere without shortcuts for long term goals. balanced and grounded
Sun trine Pluto: powerful and influential without trying to be. good relationships with mentors or authority figures. undergoes transformations to keep growing
Sun opposite Uranus: fiercely independent and competitive, can be obstinate. eccentric or unique. dynamic, operating at a 10 or 11, like having an extra high gear, so physically very active, feisty and always seeking challenges.
Sun opposite Neptune: sensitive and caring. can avoid commitment and full emotional relationships for fear of losing yourself or your freedom
Mars sextile Pluto: inner warrior with tremendous drive and determination to succeed. you immerse yourself deeply in pursuit of your goals with endurance. physically strong
Mars opposite Saturn: have to fight hard for what you want in life. frustration and disappointments need to be overcome. the way may feel blocked by other people or circumstances. physical activity that teaches you self discipline is the best outlet for this energy
Saturn sextile Uranus: inventive, quick, and curious but also sensible and calm. a good balance
Saturn sextile Neptune: strong faith and self belief, true to your own standards and ideals. can be very hard on yourself.
So many of her placements are in the pattern, that the ones which aren't can stand out:
Mercury conjunct Venus: artistic sensibility and temperament, loving, cultured, and refined, diplomatic, with a strong sense of fairness and the ability to see other points of view.
Cong is a Leo with Scorpio moon: temperamental, emotional, high energy, heart-centered and kind.
Sun opposite Saturn: responsible and determined, your own harshest critic, but also can be quite critical in general. a feeling that there are many obstacles to what you want in life. a deep fear of failure.
Sun inconjunct Uranus: has a lot of inner tension which needs stimulation, excitement, and change, this high charged electric energy needs a creative outlet.
Sun conjunct Chiron: woundedness which needs healing, can grow into a wise and compassionate person and maybe a teacher. very hard on yourself, a Leo who doesn't necessarily want the spotlight on himself.
Mercury sextile Mars: a sharp mind and quick reflexes, driven and competitive, very active, confident and courageous. strong sense of purpose. possibly a sharp tongue, but a good communicator, maybe talks a lot
Jupiter inconjunct Saturn: a tendency towards perfectionism and dissatisfaction which leads to pushing oneself to grow and achieve. your viewpoint feels out of step with traditions of the time, so might feel a resistance towards societal expectations. a feeling of not fitting in. creative, ambitious, hard working
Jupiter trine Uranus: creative and progressive, pushes the limits, tend to have good luck when you take risks. generous and cheerful
Jupiter trine Neptune: spiritual and idealistic. your magnetic and appealing aura can lead to popularity or even fame. performing talent.
Mars conjunct Juno: intense about long term relationships, protective of your partner. warmhearted and typically optimistic. more likely to be spurred to action with a partner.
Their composite relationship chart:
They have a Sun/Venus/Mars conjunction: Sun conjunct Venus: a strong indication of connection and love of any kind, including friendship, and deep involvement. Sun conjunct Mars: strong creative connection which can be used for getting a lot of work done and favors physical activity. a feisty relationship with communication that borders on fights, but clears the air and prevents strains or unresolved issues. Venus conjunct Mars: an intense relationship where emotions between you run high.
Sun inconjunct Saturn: something about your individual identities or wants and goals don't line up with what the relationship requires, so both would need to make sacrifices. requires maturity, flexibility, and generosity from both.
Mercury square Jupiter: can be overly idealistic about what's possible but the optimistic frame of mind between you makes it more likely that things turn out the way you want.
Mercury trine Pluto: you don't shy away from exploring difficult topics and learn about yourselves in a deeper way as a result, so you have a better psychological understanding than most of what's at work between you.
Jupiter square Uranus: requires space and room. something unusual about you together that requires freedom to develop in its own way. won't look like a traditional relationship. will be something unpredictable about this which can't be pinned down by expectations.
