Giants Collide Under Mars Pluto Opposition

August 14, 2021

Wars can start when Mars and Pluto oppose each other. In baseball, similar violence can happen when the deep dark energy of Pluto is opposed by the aggression of Mars. There may be a bench clearing brawl. There may be a collision on the field, which leaves one or both players injured.

On June 5, 2021, Mars at 26 degrees Cancer formed an opposition to Pluto in Capricorn. In the game of baseball, Pluto rules the third baseman and Mars rules the shortstop. On June 5 in San Francisco, these positions would fatefully collide. Third baseman Evan Longoria and shortstop Brandon Crawford collided in the ninth inning as both attempted to reach a ground ball on the left side of the infield. Longoria suffered a shoulder sprain and was placed on the disabled. These planets have been in a close opposition angle for a few days, but that afternoon the Moon in late Aries formed a square aspect to both planets, intensifying the tension between them.

The Giants were undergoing other difficult transits that day. The Sun at 15 degrees Gemini was exactly opposite their natal Sun. There was also a square between Mercury at 23 degrees Gemini and Neptune at 23 degrees Pisces. These two planets formed a difficult conjunction, square and opposition to the Giants’ natal square of Uranus at 23 Virgo and Jupiter at 27 degrees Gemini.
