After Iran had been in the news a lot in recent months because of the very bloody suppression of a major popular uprising, it is now being heavily bombed by the US and Israel. The consequences are directly noticeable all over the world in the rapidly rising fuel prices, Iran has closed the Strait of Hormuz, blocking the supply of oil from the surrounding countries. The tension is still great, the word Third World War has been mentioned many times. In view of the Ingress chart ’26, which has already been discussed here and which will start next week, it is all very disturbing.
Mars
If we look at the 2025 ingress chart calculated for the capital Tehran, it is immediately clear that it would be a bloody year for Iran. Because on the Ascendant is Mars, the planet of violence and war, showing its sharpest sides in fall in Cancer. Mars is also on Castor, theTwins are warriors and Castor is the brother who is killed. It is good to remember that although this ingress applies to the whole world, it is very specifically in the Iranian capital Tehran that this bloody Mars will be right on the Ascendant. Angles and cusps make the general ingress for the whole world specific to a particular location.
South Node
Saturn Lord 7 of opponents and Lord 8 of death is conjunct the magnifying and strengthening North Node that falls on the IC via antiscion. From there he is in opposition to Venus, the planet of peace, which has lost all its power in detriment, and which thus stands with Mercury, Lord 12 of misery, on the antiscion of the South Node (a sacrifice). Mars in fall and Venus in detriment make a mundane “in mundo” square in Teheran because they are both on an angle so the violent force of Mars acts directly on the totally weakened planet of peace. Soon on March 20, a new ingress will start to work but this new ingress ’26 doesn’t look that much better either. Probably the ayatollahs are not open to astrology, but it might be useful!
