Gareth Bale's background

Gareth Bale was a highly successful footballer, who notably played for Wales, Southampton, Tottenham Hotspur, and Real Madrid.

What makes Gareth Bale such a great example?

Not only was Gareth Bale a great footballer, but among many other successes he scored twice in the 2018 final of the Champions League.

Champion's League Wonder Goal

A close examination of the goals scored by Real Madrid in the 2018 Champions League final certainly supports the theory of bidegrees, especially in relation to Gareth Bale who scored two of the goals, connected astrologically to his retrograde Uranus and Saturn in early Capricorn, which were rising in Kiev as he scored his goals, accompanied by retrograde transiting Saturn at 8 degrees Capricorn conjunct his natal Saturn. .

Real Madrid beat Liverpool in Kiev as Capricorn rises with retrograde Saturn at 7.59R Capricorn. No goals were scored in the first half while Sagittarius was rising, but that changed once Capricorn was rising. Benzema scored for Real (on 51minutes), and Mane for Liverpool (on 55 minutes) as Capricorn started rising, and Gareth Bale came on as a substitute (on 61 minutes), scoring (on 64 and 83 minutes) as 3.23 degrees, and 8.05 degrees of Capricorn rise. Also, Gareth's natal Uranus is at 2.30R Capricorn so was rising for his first goal, and his natal Saturn at 9.38R was rising for his second. .

The beginning of Capricorn (an earth sign) has an air decanate, a water tridegree, and a fire qdegree. Traditionally Saturn is strong in Capricorn, but from a Mandala perspective we can also say that retrograde Saturn might disseminate any earthy objective reality as an airy subjective reality, and at 8 degrees Capricorn the earth of Capricorn is rooted in fire, so the retrograde has to happen at a more individual level, which is the tridegree from 6.40 to 10 Capricorn, and which can broaden out to the wider population of the air decanate from 0 to 10 Capricorn. .

Viewed in terms of tridegrees and qdegrees, Gareth Bale's substitution was as the third qdegree (air) and first tridegree (water) were rising , his first goal came as the first qdegree (earth) of the second tridegree (fire) were rising, while the second goal was during the second qdegree (water) of the third tridegree (earth). These were superimposed on the sign Capricorn (earth) and the first decanate (air). .

His first goal was the stunning bicycle kick, retrograde Uranus performing its reversed alchemy of air to fire - turning a personal reality of skills learned, into the drama and glory of the phenomenal goal, putting Real into the lead, a perfect expression of Gareth's natal Uranus operating in its tradition of providing the unexpected and inspirational, but also we might think that the fire of the tridegree can feed Uranus, and while Uranus prefers to create air, in this position the qdegree is earth so we see in Gareth the concrete reality of the goal without the need of alchemy but supported by an inspired streak in him that is mapped by his natal Uranus. We might also see in the retrograde of his natal Uranus an overlay of the air decanate where the goal adds to the broader personal reality of fans and both clubs, in wanted and unwanted ways. .

The second goal as retro Saturn performing the alchemy of earth to air and the realization that it is all over. This comes about by both the natal and transiting Saturn, and shows that for Gareth the Saturn Return is no bad thing, even though Real fans have since shown him scant loyalty or thanks. .

Real Madrid and Liverpool

Real Madrid and Liverpool have an interesting astrological connection, and this final partly reflected the 2005 final which also featured Liverpool, both occurring at the time of Liverpool's Mercury return, as a club. But all that is another story for another day.
