Carlos Alcaraz, ranked No 1 in men’s tennis single, has astonished the sporting world by splitting from his coach Juan Carlos Ferrero who has nurtured him since 2018 through all six of his Grand Slam titles. There are no clear reasons given and Ferrero clearly did not want the separation.
Alcaraz, born 5 May 2003 3am Murcia, Spain, comes from a tennis playing family, with some suggestions his father may have been behind the split. Alcaraz has a quick witted 3rd house Taurus Sun and Mercury square a publicity-attracting Mars Neptune in Aquarius on his Ascendant opposition Jupiter so fairly ego-centred and confident; as well as enduring and stubborn. With so much Fixed energy he will not appreciate too much change.
He also has a cool, hard-working Moon Saturn in Gemini in his sporting 5th house opposition Pluto, so there will be an element of family control/possessiveness in his life.
At the moment tr Uranus is moving across his IC in late Taurus which completes an entire Uranus cycle with Ferrero which started in 2018 with Uranus in late Aries. Uranus moving into his 4th does suggest a pull away from the past and an emotional upheaval. Tr Saturn was also recently square his Saturn Moon which again suggests a shift in his emotional and competitive outlook. Plus next year sees his tr Uranus square Uranus which is also often a rebellious time of pulling away from childhood. And he has his Solar Arc Uranus square his Moon two years back and then square his Saturn by 2027 – so yet more pressure to step back from restrictive relationships.
I cannot find his father’s birthdate but I would not have been surprised if he had (and might ahead) pull away from certain family ties. Though with his Moon tied into a Saturn opposition Pluto he will be fairly chained in.
Ferrero, 12 February 1980, Spain, has his Aquarius Sun in Alcaraz’s 1st house giving his image a boost. His enthusiastic Mars Jupiter in Virgo is trine Alcaraz’s Taurus Sun for an uplifting and motivating link. He also has his Uranus conjunct Alcaraz’s Midheaven so would change the course of Alcaraz’s life. But perhaps the connection being Uranian would not have been expected to last for ever.
His relationship chart with Alcaraz is super-intense and high-powered with a determined composite Mars Pluto square Jupiter; plus a friendly and serious Sun Venus trine Saturn; and a highly-strung Mercury square Uranus Neptune. Not always easy but it clearly worked.
Alcaraz ahead has tr Jupiter moving through his 6th in the immediate future = good for health and work, then tr Jupiter rises above his Descendant until it reaches a successful 2030 – and before then in 2028/29 tr Pluto square his Mars/Jupiter midpoint should bring positive results. But this coming year in 2026 looks a touch confused, uncertain and not productive. The transition may be tricky to handle and bring results.
