Fernando Dies as Pluto and Mars Square Dodgers’ Neptune

Fernando Valenzuela reportedly died on the evening of October 22, 2024 in Los Angeles. The cause of death has not been determined. The night’s transits to the LA Dodgers’ birthchart, however, are evident. The opposition between Mars at 25 degrees Cancer to Pluto in the 29^th degree of Capricorn are square to the Dodgers’ Neptune of 27 degrees Aries.

Valenzuela was very much a Neptunian figure for the Dodgers franchise as he sustained an inspirational persona  for LA fans and the organization. A Mars-Pluto opposition is likely to bring a death as both planets are the rulers of Scorpio, the planet of death.

Valenzuela’s birthchart has interesting features. His Sun conjunct to Neptune is consistent with his inspirational qualities. His Mercury retrograde is consistent with his facility to throw the screwball, a pitch that curves in a counter direction to most breaking pitches.
