She competed in the 1984, 1988, 1992, 2000, and 2008 Olympic games, the first U.S. swimmer to compete in five Olympics. She holds 12 Olympic medals, including three silver medals she won during the games in Beijing. She competed in her first Olympic competition before Michael Phelps was even born.</p> <p></p> <p>Although she has some water influences, this woman is fiery! Born on April 15, 1967, Torres has Sun, Mercury and Saturn in Aries, the ultimate sign of competition. She has a youthful, passionate nature that needs a target to aim for - in this case, swimming games. This exceptional drive enabled her to compete in the U.S. Nationals in 2007, just 15 months after giving birth to her first child. Moreover, the Saturn placement indicates good karma involving competition. </p> <p></p>Torres and Phelps have some powerful influences in common. Torres has Moon in Cancer (if she was born after noon) and Jupiter, the planet of good fortune, in Cancer as well. She also has a strong Air emphasis, with Venus in Gemini and Mars in Libra and possibly Moon in Gemini (if she was born before noon). It seems she has underwater wings like Phelps. <p></p> <p></p> <p>So how does this all add up, astrologically? It appears that well-placed Water influences, along with a touch of Air for wings and Fire for drive, can create a swimming champion. Phelps, Torres and Spitz certainly have that magical mix of elements that made them winners. </p> <p></p> <div style="PADDING-RIGHT: 4px; BORDER-TOP: rgb(201,217,217) 1px dotted; PADDING-LEFT: 4px; FONT-WEIGHT: bold; PADDING-BOTTOM: 10px; MARGIN: 10px 0px; PADDING-TOP: 10px; BORDER-BOTTOM: rgb(201,217,217) 1px dotted"><!-- ADD COPY BELOW -->Are you living up to your potential?

Whatever cosmic forces create a champion swimmer, Michael Phelps, Dara Torres - even Mark Spitz - (all Olympian winners!), certainly have them on their side. Even more intriguing are the similarities in their charts that connect their destinies. Let's take a closer look at how these star swimmers are similarly blessed by the stars.

Michael Phelps
During the 2008 summer Olympics in Beijing, Phelps made history by winning eight gold medals at a single Olympics, surpassing the seven gold medals won by Olympian swimmer Mark Spitz in 1972. Overall, Phelps holds 14 gold medals - the most of any Olympian - as well as seven world records in swimming. Swim stars, it seems, have both talent and luck.

Born on June 30, 1985, Phelps is a Water sign (no surprise there), with Sun and Mars in Cancer. He is naturally at home in the pool. Mars in Cancer gives him the drive to achieve success in a watery environment. But Phelps isn't just about competition. Cancers are nurturing, sensitive and home-loving. Phelps is well-known for his caring, kind-hearted nature. One has only to look at his warm, exuberant smile to know he's a nice guy, inside and out.

Adding to the Water influences are Uranus and Saturn in Scorpio, which intensify Phelps's focus and drive for achievement. In love, his Venus in Taurus says he likes a sensual, grounded, beautiful woman, and he values loyalty. The Taurus energy also adds to his determination and ability to attract moneymaking opportunities.

So where's his competitive streak? That would come from his Moon in Sagittarius, a fire sign with a craving for adventure. Phelps also has Uranus in Sag. Because of their optimism, Sagittarius-influenced people are typically lucky. After all, they exude happiness, so in turn, attract people and circumstances that promote their happiness. That goes for Spitz as well, Born on February 10, 1950, who has Moon in Sagittarius, like Phelps. Both men have the fire, luck and drive that make a winner.

Heightening his good fortune, Phelps has Jupiter in Aquarius, the water-bearer, no less. Spitz has Sun, Venus and Jupiter in Aquarius. Perhaps this Air influence enables them to sprout wings and "fly" across the pool. Additionally, Spitz has Neptune, symbol of the oceans, trine his Sun and Jupiter, which adds to his luck with swimming competitions. All in all, both men were destined to be champions of the water.

Dara Torres
Never say never... at 41, Dara Torres is unstoppable. She competed in the 1984, 1988, 1992, 2000, and 2008 Olympic games, the first U.S. swimmer to compete in five Olympics. She holds 12 Olympic medals, including three silver medals she won during the games in Beijing. She competed in her first Olympic competition before Michael Phelps was even born.

Although she has some water influences, this woman is fiery! Born on April 15, 1967, Torres has Sun, Mercury and Saturn in Aries, the ultimate sign of competition.

So how does this all add up, astrologically? It appears that well-placed Water influences, along with a touch of Air for wings and Fire for drive, can create a swimming champion. Phelps, Torres and Spitz certainly have that magical mix of elements that made them winners.
