2025 WNBA All-Star Break

Two and a half years ago, in 2022, was the last time that Virgo players sat atop both the MLB and the WNBA? T was right in the middle of Virgo’s three year run as leaders of the Fantasy Astrology Baseball League (FABL), before Scorpio stole the title in 2024. Meanwhile, in the Fantasy Astrology Women’s Basketball Association (FAWBA), Virgo has dominated for most of the 2010s, with Leo taking the last two titles. But if stats as of the 2025 All-Star Breaks of both sports can be believed, we might be approaching another Virgo-nnaissance.

Actually, this is only the case if you take the fantasy points of the top five WNBA players from each sign, regardless of their eligible positions. But imagine for a moment that Virgo was permitted to fill out a lineup card with two guards and three forwards. They would have a front court of New York’s Breanna Stewart (792.5 fantasy points / 37.7 points-per-game) and Seattle’s Gabby Williams (708.5 / 30.8) joined by Alanna Smith (626.5 / 27.2) of the first place Minnesota Lynx. Then the guards would consist of Kelsey Plum (673.0 / 32.0), new to Los Angeles, and Jackie Young (615 / 28.0) of Las Vegas.

Virgo’s closest competitor – Earth Sign rival Taurus – would need a different configuration to maximize their fantasy points. Their best player is also a forward: Chicago’s Angel Reese (788.5 / 37.5), last year’s Rookie of the Year runner-up. Two guards then follow: Courtney Williams (771.0 / 32.1) of Minnesota and Rhyne Howard (606.5 / 31.9) of Atlanta. The next two top scorers were both off-season acquisitions: forward Satou Sabally (582.5 / 32.4) was traded to Phoenix, while third guard Erica Wheeler (498 / 21.7) signed with Seattle.

I am hardly a basketball aficionado (I’m only in it for the spreadsheets full of stats and astrology signs), but I don’t think there’s anything too unrealistic about these starting five’s facing each other in a hypothetical astrology tournament. The tricky part is if you want to stick with fantasy lineup eligibility. Doing so for these calculations would actually change which sign finishes in first place (over the first half of the season, at least).

Taurus’s sixth-best scorer as of the 2025 All-Star Break happens to be a center: Kamilla Cardoso (429.0 / 23.8), Reese’s real-life teammate on the Chicago Sky. However, to find a Virgo center, you have to drop all the way down to the 10th player on their depth chart: Temi Fagbenle (348.0 / 20.5), who has had a rocky time with the brand new Golden State Valkyries.

While the Earth Division is neck-and-neck, It’s pretty clear who the other three members of the final four would be. Air Signs leader Libra has the league’s top fantasy player, Napheesa Collier (904.5 / 43.1) while top Fire Sign Leo has number two fantasy point scorer A’ja Wilson (800.5 / 44.5). While my home-sign Cancer Crabs couldn’t outscore Sagittarius overall, Nneka Ogwumike (747.5 / 32.5) did help them end the first half as the top Water Sign.

I’ll be changing my focus back to Baseball with today’s trade deadline dominating the headlines, but I’m also fascinated to see how fantasy astrology manifests itself in the W.
