Sun

Sun conjunct fixed star Mizar (0°44′): Successful, famous, calm, dignified, honors in dealing with the masses, high preferment in business, religion, government and in public matters. Honors in dealing with the masses.

Mizar is associated with wealth, good luck, martial prowess, conquest, indomitable will, and strong action. It makes Mojtaba Khamenei resolute, decisive, upright, composed, brave, unyielding, serious, magnanimous, conscientious, self-reliant, enduring, persistent, resilient, calm, dignified, and kind-hearted.

He always takes the lead, adheres to rules and regulations, commands respect without anger, takes on responsibilities, sets excessively high standards for himself, is concerned with everything, undaunted by setbacks, values order and cleanliness, doesn’t need flattery, is hardworking and prefers to work alone because of poor interpersonal skills.

Mizar brings wealth from hard work. Beneficial professions include economics, metals, the military, the police, and the armed forces. Mizar benefits leadership but not subordinates. Therefore, success comes in middle age more so than youth. Once a position of leadership is achieved, remarkable success comes from leveraging innate leadership abilities.

Mercury

Mercury conjunct fixed star Algorab (1°33′): Considerable charm, very clever, a deep thinker, an intense dislike of inharmonious surroundings, tactful when it suits, uses tricks and schemes to obtain objectives, a tendency to self-destruct and resort to fiendish acts, can outwardly appear calm and patient but is self-seeking, may become impulsive, the possibility of domestic problems.

Algorab brings high success in business and government, but also a repulsive, destructive, fiendish nature. It is associated with terrorism, assassination, scavenging, and delays and restraints arising from fiascoes, losses, mishandling of matters, and enmity in general.

Venus

Venus conjunct fixed star Kochab (1°17′): Contains emotions very well, which gives the impression of being very impartial, cool, detached, and totally insensitive.

Kochab generally gives endless courage, martial gains, rashness, violence, a rise to authority, and malicious mischief. It makes Mojtaba Khamenei confident, noble, authoritative, decisive, ambitious, dissatisfied with mediocrity, loyal, upright, well-dressed and well-groomed, with elegant manners, composed movements, a strong thirst for knowledge, strong presence, lofty ambitions, far-sighted vision, leadership ability, and a strong desire for control, and a life is full of ups and downs

Mars

Mars conjunct fixed star Rasalhague (0°38′): Good for material gain but troubles, criticism and difficulties caused by writing, speeches, and conversations. Public censure in connection with religion, science or philosophy. Subject to an imagination that can get out of control. Dissatisfaction, violence, and destruction are involved in public affairs. A stalker and hunter

Rasalhague brings liberality, broad-mindedness, humanitarianism, philosophical ideas, and tremendous visualization, but also misfortune through partners, perverted tastes, mental depravity, and a tendency toward infections. Higher spiritual influences are possible, though only a very few people can attune themselves to them.

Mars conjunct fixed star Lesath (1°29′): Determined, active and keen mind, good speaker. A stalking, hunting quality can lead to violence, brutality and murder. Harsh aspects (square Pluto) can cause exaggeration, arguments, and possibly illness, accidents, injuries, operations, or catastrophes.

Lesath gives a self-driven, enterprising and sociable nature, good judgment, good fortune, marked achievements, unexpected gains, new discoveries, and success in debating, business, sport, and high office. Lesath also gives a probing, sharp intellect, keen insight and incisive wit that can be as damaging as a knife to an opponent. Negatively, there can be exaggeration, desperation, immorality, self-destruction, danger, malevolence, and a tendency to strike first and ask questions later, leading to an embarrassing loss of face.

Mars square Pluto (2°27′) gives Mojtaba Khamenei an intense desire to assert his dominance and achieve his ambitious goals. Extreme courage, willpower, drive and perseverance bring power and influence.

This assertiveness can become aggressiveness if his ambitions are blocked or others challenge his goals. A tendency to bottle up anger and resentment can result in outbursts of destructive rage.

His rise to power may prompt others to take aggressive action. These other individuals or organizations may feel threatened by his growing influence. This gives Mojtaba Khamenei a powerful urge to retaliate and undermine his enemies.

Jupiter

Jupiter conjunct fixed star Porrima (0°07′): Public preferment and popularity, but the danger of legal entanglement, trouble through religion, disputes over inheritance, domestic disharmony through intrigue and consequent scandal.

Porrima gives an agreeable disposition, idealism, popularity, prophetic instincts, a courteous, refined and lovable character, and minor difficulties.

Jupiter conjunct fixed star Vindemiatrix (0°16′): Success in public matters and much travel, but the danger of criticism, legal entanglements, scandalous actions and trouble through religion.

Vindemiatrix gives leadership ability, a strong religious calling, impulsiveness, wanton folly, indiscretion, foolishness, scandalous actions, poverty, criticism, depression, falsity, disgrace, and stealing, and often causes its natives to become widows. Vindemiatrix figures strongly and regularly in deaths that are in some way dramatic, newsworthy, or are resented in much more than the usual degree by those left behind (assassinations, common criminal murders, executions, airline disasters, etc).

Jupiter quincunx Saturn (1°08′) can cause restlessness and not knowing whether to stop or go. These contradictory impulses urge Mojtaba Khamenei to rush into action, heedless of risk, yet he can be held back by caution and inhibition. So he may struggle to decide whether to act independently at his own pace or within a formal structure at a regulated pace.

Saturn

Saturn conjunct fixed star Schedir (1°18′): This star gives a good temperament, fame through the help of a superior, mystical preferences, the ability to rule over others, a serious demeanor and zest for life, but demonic power, a tendency to let power go to one’s head, and sorrows in love.

Saturn conjunct fixed star Hamal (1°26′): Cautious, thoughtful, critical, sarcastic, materialistic, interested in geology or agriculture, some domestic happiness, favorable for gain.

Hamal conveys a sense of urgency, a drive to excel and succeed, and leadership potential. Harsh aspects (square Venus, quincunx Jupiter) can cause a headstrong and aggressive nature, violence, brutishness, cruelty, cunningness, perverted tastes, romantic problems, domestic problems, bad morals, and premeditated crime. Life may repeatedly be in danger.
