Alonzo Mourning

Earth and air take three of his ten planets each, with two apiece in fire and water, so nothing is scarce. The record says Mourning won a championship in 2006, four years after a kidney transplant, which is a line that puts the medicine and the trophy in the same sentence.

The Sun sits at twenty degrees of Aquarius with Venus further along the sign, and the Moon answers from Pisces at twenty three. Aquarius stands outside the arrangement it finds and works out what it thinks of it; Pisces keeps no edge of its own. For a player who came back to the top of a physical sport after a transplant, the detached Sun is the half that made the decision and the Pisces Moon is the half that had to absorb what it took.

The Moon sits in easy contact with Venus at eight hundredths of a degree, about as close as two planets get, private feeling and what he values effectively in the same place. Venus stands at a strained angle to Uranus at under two fifths. Nothing else in the chart comes inside a degree, which makes this a loose birth with one very tight pairing in it. Uranus and Pluto were the two planets in retrograde motion when he was born. For a player, one exact agreement between feeling and value in an otherwise loose chart is a steady thing to carry.

Jupiter closed a full circuit on its Scorpio birth degree on 6 November 2017, at forty seven. Scorpio asks what it cost out of sight of anybody, and three laps precede it. For a record that names an operation and then a championship, what it cost out of sight is the whole of the first half of that line. A chart with nothing scarce and nothing braced, built around one exact agreement between feeling and value, is an unusually steady thing to have carried through that. His Moon sits late in Pisces at noon, close enough to the next sign that it may have reached Aries, which puts the private half between absorbing the thing and going straight at it, and the record suggests both were needed.
