I especially pointed out that the U.S. had delivered Starlink satellite terminals to organizers of the riots – 40,000 of them is a rumored number – but that the Iranian government had acquired the means to detect them and to shut down their traffic. https://www.moonofalabama.org/ The Solar Return chart for Iran (set for January 31, 2026, in Tehran) is striking in the context of the ongoing events, particularly the recent wave of protests/riots that began in late December 2025 and their rapid suppression.The standout feature is Trans-Neptunian Point (TNP) Admetus conjunct Uranus, tightly placed on the Midheaven (MC).

  The theme of the upcoming World Economic Forum (WEF) Annual Meeting in Davos (the 56th edition, scheduled for January 19–23, 2026) is "A Spirit of Dialogue".       The New Moon chart for January 18, 2026, cast for Davos (just before the WEF Annual Meeting begins on January 19) presents a fascinating and tense astrological setup, especially in the context of the forum's theme "A Spirit of Dialogue" and the anticipated presence of Donald Trump. The MC at Gemini 8° carries the Sabian symbol "Aroused strikers surround a factory", which powerfully evokes themes of industrial unrest, rebellion against exploitation, and the disruptive force of ambitious or frustrated minds clashing with established structures. This is a classic warning of potential conflict between "haves" and "have-nots," where collective grievances boil over into action or violence if underlying inequalities remain unaddressed. In the WEF setting—often critiqued as ...

It features a Scorpio Sun at 01° Scorpio (tropical). This places the UN's core identity (Sun) in tight alignment with early Scorpio degrees, ...

  Indians on the warpath, some men row a well-filled canoe   “Violetta and her father had been skiing in Sochi when a snow avalanche caught up with them. The dad managed to get out by himself. The girl was found ALIVE some 15 minutes later with the help of other skiers” The incident involving 10-year-old Violetta (and her father Alexander Kasimov) occurred on December 31, 2025, at the Krasnaya Polyana ski resort in Sochi, Russia.

She was taken to a hospital in Sochi, where she was diagnosed with a concussion, bruises, and sprains but had no life-threatening injuries. Many sources ...

Jung famously states that patients fall ill because they have lost what living religions provide, and true healing requires regaining a religious outlook that is not dogmatic but in a sense transcendent.   The chart for the May 1932 New Moon at Strasbourg, France. (with Ascendant at 9°14' Scorpio conjunct the fixed star Acrux at approximately 11°52' Scorpio in tropical zodiac) is striking, especially when viewed through the lens of Carl Jung's lecture "Psychotherapists or the Clergy" deli...
