Anyone who is capable of winning an Olympic medal while under the influence of cannabis should probably receive an <em>extra<\/em> medal as well. The only way having THC in your bloodstream is going to enhance your performance is if they&#8217;ve made &#8220;eating Doritos and watching cartoons&#8221; an Olympic event&#8230; and I&#8217;m pretty sure they haven&#8217;t because I would have qualified for the team by now. Besides being an Olympic athlete requires a clear mind and quick responses&#8230; and yet somehow caffeine isn&#8217;t a banned substance. Someone explain <em>that<\/em> to me, please.<\/p>\n<p><em>(No matter what transits are happening, how they play out in your life depends on your individual birth chart. <a href=\"mailto:astrologyshow@gmail.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Write me with your date, time, and place of birth &#8212; and I&#8217;ll send you a copy and a free sneak preview!<\/a>)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The body in charge of testing and handing out suspensions (in this case The United States Anti-Doping Agency, or USADA) even seems to be tacitly willing to admit the dumbness of all this. Most of the suspensions they hand out last for at least a year, and Sha&#8217;Carri &#8216;s suspension only lasts a month.<\/p>\n<p><strong>But I digress: on with the astrology!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Sha&#8217;Carri was born March 25 2000, time unknown, in Dallas, Texas.<\/strong> Like many of us have experienced in the last year, her current round of troubles are coming from the ongoing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/ohmystars\/2020\/12\/astrology-of-2021-saturn-square-uranus.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Saturn-Uranus Square.<\/a> She herself was born during the previous Saturn-Uranus square &#8212; but that doesn&#8217;t help as much as you might think. You see, right now<strong> transiting Uranus is within a degree of her Saturn in Taurus and transiting Saturn is approaching the conjunction to her natal Uranus in Aquarius. You could almost think of that as a &#8220;double whammy&#8221; aspect.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>(&#8230;And by the way if you were born in 2000 you should probably be paying attention to Saturn and Uranus yourself this year)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>That transit wasn&#8217;t enough to trigger this disruption to Sha&#8217;Carri &#8216;s Olympic dreams on its own.<strong> It was with the addition of Mars at 12 degrees Leo, also square her natal Saturn, that made things fall apart on July 1st of this year.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>I&#8217;ve reached out to Sha&#8217;Carri on Twitter to find out what her time of birth is.<\/strong> If we knew that, we could tell <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/ohmystars\/2014\/07\/career-astrology-part-one-the-midheaven.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">where her Midheaven is<\/a> and that would tell us more how her career is going ended how we&#8217;ll be going in future.
