Novak Djokovic

Novak Djokovic is the great survivor of modern tennis, a competitor who bends where others break and comes back sharper than before. With the Sun in Gemini, the marriage of Helios and Mercury, he shines through adaptability, quickness and a mind that reads both sides of every rally at once; the versatile twin who can problem-solve his way through any style thrown at him. That Sun sits in the fourth house of home and lineage, and you feel it in how deeply his roots feed him: a boy from Serbia who led his nation to its first Davis Cup, who carries the flag and the family with him onto every court, most at ease when playing for something bigger than himself.

His Moon in Aries is the alpha, Martian Moon, the warrior who finds peace of mind through action and self-assertion; on an island of survivors you would thank your stars to have him among them. In the second house it binds worth to what he builds, and build he has: a record 23 Grand Slam singles titles and a record run at world number one. His Capricorn Ascendant is the mask of the old soul, the patient crocodile who waits and then takes the top position. He ages in reverse and simply refuses to be counted out.
