“Iran’s judiciary head signaled Wednesday there would be fast trials and executions ahead for suspects detained in nationwide protests despite a warning from U.S. President Donald Trump. These comments came as activists had warned hangings of those detained could come soon. The security force crackdown on the demonstrations has killed at least 2,586, the U.S.-based Human Rights Activists News Agency reported. The current death toll exceeds that of any other round of protest or unrest in Iran in decades and recalls the chaos surrounding the country’s 1979 Islamic Revolution.”
Mars
My last newsletter, Capricorn Stellium, highlighted Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars in Capricorn, which is still active, energizing Capricorn and helping, to a lesser degree, the other earth signs, Taurus and Virgo.
On the other hand, with Mars related to desires, passions, conflicts, urgency, aggression, impulsiveness, and stress, Mars in Capricorn will, at certain times during this period, create challenges and issues for the planets and points you have in Aries, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, and Libra.
Trump
With President Trump being a Gemini, he is being challenged by Mars, which increases the likelihood for conflicts, urgency, aggression, and impulsiveness. Specifically, Mars and other planetary stress combinations are particularly active in his chart from January 12 to 28, adversely aspecting his Sun, Pluto, and Ascendent.
We will see how all this plays out for him with Iran, Venezuela, Greenland, Minnesota, and other current hot spots around the world.
Current Sun Sign Factors
These sun-sign assessments are only “the tip of the iceberg” for what you should know. Besides your Sun sign degree, there are many other factors to consider that these newsletters cannot cover, such as the transits to your Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Ascendant, and Midheaven degrees. However, awareness of the current transits to your Sun’s position can be invaluable because the positions of the slower-moving planets (Jupiter in Gemini, Saturn in Pisces, Uranus in Taurus, Neptune in Pisces, and Pluto in Aquarius) can create significant trends and events in your life.
To use this information correctly, you need to know the degree of your Sun sign, but the degree of your Sun sign is not your date of birth. If you need to know the degree of your Sun, please call me. I will calculate it for you.

Lunar Aspects
With Moon in Sagittarius to Capricorn, and Aquarius this coming week, the most important lunar aspects are listed below. The descriptions do not intend to tell you what will happen in your life at the listed times. Instead, they provide some of the possibilities you can expect around the times given, so that you can plan your life more wisely. It is often apparent which time frames are better for timing a party, trip, decision, project, business, or other events.
Lunar aspects are in effect for a few hours (versus days) before and until the times given for the Eastern Time Zone. Therefore, you need to adjust the time to your time zone. For example, if you live on the West Coast, there is a three-hour time difference, so you must subtract three hours.
The plus (+) lunar aspects are favorable. The minus (-) lunar aspects are more likely to bring challenges or difficulties. Sometimes, there is a + and – lunar aspect, which can exhibit positive and negative influences.

Guidelines for Using This Information
These newsletters are not your typical sun sign column. They provide much more information and guidance, but it may be challenging to sort everything out with so many factors presented, even for astrology students. Therefore, I keep everything as clear and straightforward as possible.
The most critical factor with right timing is what is occurring in your horoscope. When negative aspects dominate your horoscope, the chances of success with right timing diminish, no matter how favorable the aspects are in the sky. These newsletters cannot cover what is occurring in your horoscope. However, applying the information in these newsletters with common sense enables you to make more informed decisions and take more effective actions.
The basic premise with right timing is that it helps to have the “stars” on your side. Starting a marriage, trip, surgery, business, real estate deal, or major purchase at an inopportune time reduces the chances of success, regardless of how good your intentions and how hard you try. The better the timing, the higher your chances of success. Even an hour can make a significant difference in important decisions and events.
The Moon enters each zodiac sign about every 28 days and remains in each sign for about two and a half days. When the Moon is in your sun sign, matters will likely come more together for you on a short-term basis unless significant aspects are currently challenging your horoscope.
The traits and qualities I assign to the signs in these newsletters describe the signs’ functions and meanings, versus describing your personality. However, the descriptions may be entirely accurate for you. Furthermore, to understand a person’s personality and character from an astrological perspective, dozens of factors besides one’s sun sign must be considered.
Contact me to know what’s going on in your horoscope and to make better decisions at better times. We will schedule a private consultation at my office or on the phone so you can know more about your future and better understand the issues and opportunities in your life, as well as your relationships, job, career, education, finances, children, parents, travel, health, location, retirement, karma, and purpose in life.
