Timberwolves Take Aquarian Stance vs ICE Killing

The Minnesota Timberwolves demonstrated their Aquarian values by declining playing a scheduled game on the day that ICE agents killed Alex Pretti in their hometown of Minnesota. The Timberwolves have the Moon in Aquarius, a placement that embraces humanity in all its diverse races, religions and immigration statuses. Statements from the team not only gave condolences for the slain ICU nurse, but condemnation of ICE tactics and policy.

The Timberwolves have Sun in Taurus opposite Pluto in Scorpio. A Sun-Pluto opposition indicates a willingness to face the darkest realities of existence, such as deaths of innocent protestors. A sports team serves as a nucleus that unites a community. The Timberwolves, like the football Vikings and the baseball Twins, serve this role for the state of Minnesota.  

The slaying of Alex Pretti and the postponed game occurred on Jan 24 as a stellium of planets in Aquarius: Mars, Pluto, the Sun, Venus and Mercury formed challenging transits to planets in the Timberwolves birthchart. These planets were square to the Timberwolves Sun of 2 Taurus and Pluto of 8 Scorpio.  It is highly relevant that the challenge aspect occurred in the sign of Aquarius. The current times are calling for individuals and organizations to take a stand and proceed from an Aquarius concern for humanity.

The Timberwolves opponent on Jan 24 would have been the Golden State Warriors, whose birthchart also felt the transits of the day. The Warriors Descendant is located at 1 degree of Aquarius, which endured a conjunction from Mars that day. If the Descendant in  a birthchart indicates a team’s opponent, the Mars-Pluto conjunction positioned there would indicate a death related to the Timberwolves, the Warriors’ opponent. Golden State’s coach Steve Kerr has long been outspoken on political issues.  Afterwards he denounced the killing and expressed solidarity with protesters.

The game of basketball has an emphasis on Aquarian-Uranian values. It’s founding occurred under a Mars- Uranus conjunction. The sign of Aquarius emphasized the team over the individual, and basketball a sport where players of different races must play as a cohesive unit in order to win. The sports has long served as a venue for Civil Rights, including its embrace of African-American players.
