The Sun joins Hamal on April 27
Fixed star Hamal, Alpha Areitis, is a 2.0 magnitude yellow star on the forehead of the Ram, Aries Constellation the Ram. The traditional name Hamal derives from the Arabic راس الحمل (rās al-ħamal) which means head of the ram.
Hamal is a giant star that may host an orbiting planet with a mass greater than Jupiter. Between 2000 and 100 BC, the apparent path of the Sun through the Earth’s sky placed it in Aries at the northern vernal equinox, the point in time marking the start of spring in the Northern Hemisphere. This is why most astrology columns in modern newspapers begin with Aries. While the vernal equinox has moved to Pisces since then due to the precession of the equinoxes, Hamal has remained in mind as a bright star near what was apparently an important place when people first studied the night sky.[1]
A yellow star situated in the forehead of the Ram and commonly known as the ram’s Following Horn. From Al Hamal, the Sheep. Symbolically called the Death Wound and often incorrectly named El Nath. [2]

Hamal Star Astrology
Fixed star Hamal causes violence, brutishness, cruelty and premeditated crime. According to Ptolemy, it is of the nature of Mars and Saturn (malicious, thieving, merciless, fiendish, repulsive, liar, accidents, violent death. If culminating, military preferment but final disgrace.) [2]
Hamal is the main star in the head of the Ram and is equivalent to an unfortunate Mars-Saturn combination. It appears Mars and Saturn are fighting each other for domination, and this influence could be a dangerous one in the material sphere. If connected closely otherwise, life may be repeatedly in danger; for example, if the native undertakes climbing or leaps into an abyss. If connected with beneficial stellar bodies, the influence of this star is lessened. If Mars or Venus are linked with Hamal, and if other factors are equally present, suffering connected with the love life or ill-treatment by sadism is indicated. [3]
Hamal, or Ar Ras Al Hamal, to use its full title, means The Head of the (male) sheep, and this characterizes well its meaning astrologically. The famous astronomer-astrologer Ptolemy devised planetary analogs for many stars so that he said Hamal has the qualities of Mars and Saturn together, Mars the more dominant. It is a good description of people with this star strong in their horoscopes – headstrong and often aggressive, yet potentially capable leaders and protectors of their community, all qualities of the ram. [4]
Hamal is an unfigured star above the head of the Ram. It is of the nature of Mars and can be indicative of violence. [5]
Hamal star rules the right side of the neck and the parathyroid gland in the human body. [6]
Constellation Aries
Aries portends events concerning sacred rites and the worship of God. It affects the conditions of the air and of the seasons and presages the results of these elements on things that grow, especially the new shoots or arboreal crops (e.g. grapes and figs). [5]

Venus conjunct Uranus conjunct Hamal: This would cause the breakdown of the tiniest tissue cells in the parathyroid so that the organ cannot keep itself purified. These individuals would notice sharp, tiny shooting pains passing through the parathyroid. The neck would tend to palpitate slightly, causing a nervous twitch and the person would consider it only a nervous condition. However, there would be a swelling of the parathyroid gland, and the person would elect to have it removed by surgery. This would not alleviate the problem since malfunctions would occur elsewhere in the body. [6]
Venus conjunct Hamal opposite Uranus: On this degree, the individual would feel slight, sharp pains in the parathyroid and a slight movement on the right side of the throat, especially when involved in social affairs.

My DC is at 6 Taurus, so of course I’ve been cruelly treated in my lovelife. Consequently, I don’t really have one anymore. The effect unfortunately compounds with things like Sag Venus sq Pluto/Uranus in Virgo, sq Chiron in Pisces and opposing Atropos in Gemini. Love really is the most dangerous and the most painful thing in my life. The DC might also be expected to attract people who want to hurt me physically and indeed it has. Their kind is actually easier to deal with, all you need is some fighting skills and an attitude to match.
So sad Janne but very good interpretation for DC.
Hamal(house 10) perfect trine with natal sun. New moon april 26 perfect trine ascendant, square natal sun and opposite natal mars. Next full moon, moon conunct nepptune(house 5). Next solar return, ascendent conjunct sun and mars conjunct sun. Is it good Janie?
Only conjunctions to fixed stars matter Migberr. But those aspects from the moon phases seem fine apart from the one activating your Sun square Mars. Make sure when calculating your solar return that you set it for your current location and try to use precession correction, especially is using the Ascendant like you have.
what about Chiron conjunct Hamal
In the 7th…how should I interpret this?
