Giants Pelican a Gift from Uranus

At precisely 5:30 pm on May 11, 2024, a pelican landed on the grass of Oracle Park. The sign of Aquarius and the planet Uranus rule left field, and transits for the big bird’s landing emphasize Uranus as the IC of 23 Capricorn was trine within a degree to Uranus in transit at 23 Taurus and also trine to the Giants natal Uranus of 23 Virgo. Giants left fielder Heliot Ramos would soon make a spectacular catch to add to the two outfield assists he had made earlier from right field. Clearly, something magical and astrological was happening in left field.

The Giants would eventually win the game 5-1 against the Reds and fans began talking about a “Rally Pelican” that had pulled them from a slump.

Uranus, an air planet, can be associated with big majestic birds such as condors and eagles, but does Uranus rule pelicans? Probably not. The mythology of pelicans involves stories of mother pelicans allowing their young to feed from their blood. These myths of self-sacrifice are more akin to the planet Neptune than Uranus. The Giants are having a difficult season with several injuries to key players. Sacrifices have already been made by the Giants.

As the season progresses, we will see whether the pelican becomes an rallying beast for the Giants or a symbol of the 2024 season sacrificed.
