To win a WNBA championship, almost everything has to go right. Teams know every detail and advantage matters in a game of slim margins, so they go to great lengths to control the variables they can. Others point to the intangible and inexplicable, citing fate when they mythologize their path to the league trophy—an act of divine intervention that crowned them the winner. So, why not also consider the stars and what’s transpiring in the ether as an important element in determining success? In other words: What can astrology tell us about the WNBA Finals?
Chani Nicholas, the New York Times best-selling author of You Were Born for This: Astrology for Radical Self-Acceptance and co-founder and president of the CHANI app, is also a WNBA fan. Attending Liberty games with her wife and daughter, she was struck by the feeling of freedom radiating from Barclays Center. “I am so invested in women’s sports and in the paradigm shift that it can create and that we need to help create in women’s sports,” Nicholas says.
