Astrology Women’s Basketball
The WNBA is currently in the midst of an extended All-Star Break to allow some of the league’s star players to participate in the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. This past weekend, the USA Women’s Basketball team defeated France in a shocking gold medal game. Let’s take a look at the players – and more importantly, the astrological signs of the players – who helped lead USA to their eighth straight gold medal.
Leo center/forward A’ja Wilson had the most playing time in the Olympics – not to mention the most fantasy points in the WNBA as of the All-Star Game – earning MVP honors in the process. But a whopping 2/3 of the roster are either Virgos or Libras. Each sign has four players, but the playing time was skewed toward Virgo by a margin of 428 to 367 minutes. The rest of the roster includes one Aries, one Sagittarius, and one Gemini, meaning that only 50% of the Zodiac wheel was represented in the games. It also means that Virgo was the ONLY negative polarity sign represented, with all the other
The USA uniforms are more Aries Red than the Leo Orange that A’ja Wilson would wear in the Women’s Fantasy Astrology Basketball Association.
Virgo’s top contributor was New York Liberty forward Breanna Stewart, who went into the WNBA All-Star Break tied with rookie Caitlin Clark (an Aquarius) for the second-most fantasy points in the league. The rest of the Virgos were primarily guards, with Jackie Young racking up more than 100 minutes and Kelsey Plum finishing just short with 90. (Both Plum and Young play for the WNBA’s Las Vegas Aces, the same team as Wilson.) Kahleah Copper, who was acquired by the Phoenix Mercury last offseason, is listed as both a guard and forward by basketball-reference.com, but it is notoriously hard to track WNBA players’ positional changes over the years.
Napheesa Collier led Libra’s attack, although the Minnesota Lynx forward’s birthday (9/23) is agonizingly close to the Virgo/Libra cusp – by just 58’ 43” according to helloastrology.com’s zodiac calculator. Yet another Las Vegas guard, Chelsey Gray, played for 86 minutes, while Seattle’s Jewell Loyd was tied for the fewest minutes on the squad with 56. Backup center Brittney Griner also represented Libra, and even though she didn’t earn the starting nod, it’s just good to see her back home from Russian detainment and able to compete.
Moving to the other signs, Alyssa Thomas, an Aries who plays for the Connecticut Sun, was part of the forward rotation, earning more than 100 minutes of playing time. Sagittarius guard Sabrina Ionescu ensured that a contributor from all three fire signs went to the Olympics. And even though Gemini guard Diana Taurasi did not play in the final game, she became the first player to win six gold medals at the Olympics.
