We’ve already broken down paddle personalities and spirit animals… so you knew this was coming. It’s time to look to the stars. That’s right—we’re going full cosmic with your Pickleball Horoscope.
Because let’s be honest: your birth chart might not tell you when to drive or dink, but it definitely explains why your doubles partner cries when you give them feedback or why you yell “LET’S GO!” even when you lose the point.
This isn’t just fluff. The zodiac signs have some real (and hilarious) insight into how we play, partner, and even pack our gear bags.
Let’s get into it!

What’s Your Sign (on the Court)?
Next time you’re at the courts, take this guide for a spin. Spot your sign. Spot your partner’s. Laugh about it. (Cry about it, if you’re a Cancer.)
Because sure—pickleball is a game of skill and strategy. But sometimes? It’s written in the stars.
And if Mercury’s in retrograde, maybe don’t play mixed doubles with your ex. Just saying.
