Astrology And The Fall And Rise Of Tiger Woods (Part One)

Apr 15, 2019, in Astrology, Celebrity

In the late 1990s and early 2000s, it was rare for Tiger Woods to be out of the news for long. Between 1997 and 2008, Tiger won 14 major golf championships, and came to be regarded as one of the best golfers of all time. But then in 2009 a personal scandal hit, and it seems like Tiger has been missing in action (relatively speaking) ever since.

…Except that this weekend Tiger came roaring back to win The Masters Tournament, and now he is going to receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom from famous golf fan Donald Trump.

So what’s the astrology behind all this?

The transits to a birth chart that will have the most bearing on profession and public image are transits to the Midheaven and the ruler of the Midheaven. In the case of Tiger Woods, the Midheaven is at 23 degrees Gemini, ruled by Mercury at 26 degrees Capricorn. Also note that his Mars is at 17 degrees Gemini, within conjunction range of the Midheaven. That is a vote for making a career out of being an athlete.

The wheels began to fall off Tiger’s wagon, both personally and professionally, in late 2009. That’s when the National Enquirer reported that he had cheated on his wife. This was followed in short order by an accident resulting in a careless driving charge and then a flood of other infidelity accusations.

Uranus transits can bring strange and unexpected results, and that’s exactly what happened to Tiger in 2008 and early 2009. Transiting Uranus was hovering around 19 degrees Pisces in November and December that year (squaring his Mars, which rules the sex drive and Tiger’s 8th house). You might not be too surprised to learn at that time that transiting Saturn was in Virgo, making a square to his Midheaven from the other side of his chart.

Between 1997 and 2008, Tiger was the number one earning golfer in the world nine times, and his worst showing in the time period was fourth place. In 2010, he was 68th. In 2011, he was 128th.

So what kind of transits could see Tiger Woods rebound so spectacularly now? Drop by next time and we’ll see!
