Celebrity Deaths: Nick Adenhart

nick adenhart







Nicholas James Adenhart (22) was an American right-handed Major League Baseball starting pitcher for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.  A graduate of Williamsport High School, Adenhart was highly touted as a high school prospect until an injury in his final game required Tommy John surgery. He was drafted by the Angels in the 14th round of the 2004 Major League Baseball Draft, and began playing in their minor league system after the surgery was a success. He spent three full years in the minor leagues before making his major league debut on May 1, 2008. After appearing in three games, Adenhart spent the rest of 2008 in the minor leagues developing his skills, and in 2009 he earned a spot in the Angels' starting rotation.

Just after pitching his first start of 2009, Adenhart was killed in a car accident by a drunk driver. Both the Angels and the Salt Lake Bees, for whom Adenhart played for in 2008, suspended their next games. There were many tributes to him over the course of the season, including his former teammates spraying champagne and beer on one of his jerseys after they clinched the 2009 American League West division championship.

Astrology -  Nick was born with the Sun in Virgo square Saturn, which shows someone who tries hard to prove himself. He was born with Mars conjunct Neptune in Capricorn. Mars rules sport, and Neptune rules glamour, and dreams about winning (Mars). Mars rules speed, action, direction and Neptune rules illusion, fogginess, passivity and confusion. It also rules sensitivity and imagination. Mars - Neptune may symbolize becoming the victim of other peoples aggression and violence and taking nebulous actions, and it is considered a passive/aggressive aspect.

The transits at the time of his death, show a constructive use of energy and achieving sporting goals at this time (Transiting Saturn trine natal Mars), this is when he earned his spot in the Angels. Some people assume leadership roles at this time and energy is often constructively used. T. Saturn opposite Jupiter shows career (Saturn) opportunity (Jupiter), but the transit is not always positive and can bring some difficulties around believing and having faith in oneself /others. Transiting Uranus conjuncts Jupiter in Pisces, and brings plenty of possibilities and opportunities that seem to fall in his lap. However, it triggered the natal Jupiter square Uranus in mutable signs, and reflects lack of judgement and unpredictable events. A restlessness in his nature and rebelliousness, and luck changing dramatically.

Transiting Uranus, is a planet frequently involved in accidents and it squares natal Uranus, this is a generational movement, and the younger generation with this transit are in a phase of freedom, independence and rebellion. Transiting Neptune opposed his Sun, and this aspect has occurred in the last three deaths I have looked at. The life direction can become cloudy and lost, and it may represent a glamorized self-image and yearning (Neptune) to be someone special (Sun). Transiting Pluto trined his natal Sun showing self-empowerment now, probably due to his new spot in sport. The most difficult configuration shows transiting Pluto (crisis, death, trauma,) conjunct his natal Mars-Neptune, describing his death (Pluto) by drunk (Neptune) driving (Mars). Another sad loss of a young life on the brink of a new career.
