Deontay Wilder

Four planets of the ten sit in air signs, three in water, two in earth and a single one in fire. Fire is the element anybody would expect to be running the chart of a knockout puncher, and it is the one with almost nothing in it. The record says Wilder took forty two knockouts from forty three wins and had the hardest right hand of his era.

The Sun sits on the final forty six minutes of Libra, with Mercury, Saturn and Pluto grouped across twenty three degrees of Scorpio just beyond it, and the Moon answers from Aquarius. Libra weighs one thing against another and will not close it down; Scorpio commits and says nothing about it. A fighter whose record is almost all knockouts has his identity in the hesitating sign and the heavy group next door in the one that finishes things.

Mars sits in easy contact with Saturn at a sixth of a degree, which puts force and restraint on the same side rather than in conflict, and in a boxer that is the aspect that turns a punch into a trade. Venus makes easy contact with Jupiter at nine hundredths, the tightest contact here. Not one of his ten planets was retrograde at his birth, so nothing in this chart is quietly reconsidering anything.

Jupiter closed a full circuit on its Aquarius birth degree on 22 January 2021, at thirty five. Aquarius takes its measure from the distance between a thing and the ordinary version of it, and two laps precede it. For a record of forty two knockouts in forty three wins, that distance is the whole point rather than a footnote. One planet in fire, in the chart of a man known for a single punch, is the reading this project would least have predicted and the one the arithmetic gives.
