Moon in Aquarius ****
The sun opposed to Saturn, in Gemini-Sagittarius, has a lot to do with religious or international disputes. It has to do with Donald Trump's immigration and travel bans which are being scrutinized by the courts. What are your disagreements with someone over religion or international affairs? Perhaps they need to be faced rather than passed over. Also this aspect can be good for hunkering down to study of whatever seems crucial. It is strongest for the next few days.
Luna's Grand Trine with Jupiter and Mercury in airs signs is partly responsible for the four-star rating. I hope you won't be disappointed.
You may be developing skills which bear rich, ripe fruit of a unique order. You find sustainment through greater unrealized possibilities which seem almost magical.
You try feats which are still ahead of you, in order to learn by emulating someone ahead. Immaturity in some areas is not a disadvantage but an incentive for elevation above them so that you approach them with youthful vigor.
You rise above anything which threatens you through a lightness of being. "Two fairies on a moonlit night." Moments of rest for recuperation are not inconsistent with your program of achievement, but further it.
The contrary of that is that lassitude or laziness could be a problem blocking you from carrying on with your endeavors. It might stem from a sense of futility, a feeling that you have been abandoned or deserted and so why not just take the easiest rewards from the day and forget the demanding work? Trials might be mostly imaginary; so you can, first, rest and rise above worry, and then do what your good enlightened mind knows to be best.

P. S. Islam 101 Continued: Some of you won't like this segment so I make it a P. S. But as mentioned in the first paragraph above, we need to face religious differences. If you have Muslim friends, maybe you should know more about their religion, and find out about it by studying the Koran itself, together with the essential Sira (about 800 pages of Mohammed's biography) and Hadiths (hundreds or thousands of stories and comments about Mohammed and his teaching). All of these are essential to a Muslim's faith and practice. He or she is encouraged to follow the Sunna, or example and teaching, of Mohammed in all these writings as far as possible. The example of Mohammed, from the period when he started warfare (called the Medina phase as opposed to the peaceful first Mecca phase), was violent.
"When he went to Medina, which was half Jewish, the rabbis told him he was no prophet in the lineage of the Jews. No one could contradict Mohammed and as a result, three years later, there was not a single Jew left in Medina. They were annihilated. Then he attacked the Jews of Khaybar and made them dhimmis [subordinated by Islam] after he had killed, tortured, raped and robbed them. On his deathbed he condemned the Jews and Christians to be banished from Arabia.
"That is the Sunna. That is Islam."
--Bill Warner, Factual Persuasion, p. 56
Maybe you should ask your Muslim friend, kindly, if he approves of all that (which is taken directly from the Sira and Hadiths). If he does not, then he is, frankly, not a Muslim. The Islamic State people are, to a large degree, merely following the example of the founder of their religion, as they are commanded to do.
It's not pretty. Now I hope you will revisit the forecast above to put you in a happier mood.
