With Moon in Sagittarius for the next few days, the lunar aspects are harmonious per the lunar aspect listings at the end of this newsletter, but there should be more turbulence through this weekend with two stressful aspects active, Sun conjunct Uranus and Mercury square Mars.
According to the principles of right timing, any business, project, decision, relationship, wedding, or child born, for example, started around this time, will have the qualities and characteristics of these aspects.
Sun conjunct Uranus
Sun conjunct Uranus occurs once a year and increases the chances for scientific and other breakthroughs, but also natural disasters, attacks, accidents, violence, protests, anarchy, and escalated military tensions.
This aspect is more relevant for anyone with Sun, Moon, planets, and points planets around 27 degrees of Taurus, Leo Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, and Aquarius.
Mercury square Mars
Mercury square Mars is sharp minds and sharp tongues. Mercury is words and ideas, and Mars is knives and aggression. People with this aspect love to discuss matters openly and directly, but their disposition can be acidic and abrasive, which offends people and magnifies differences by their being too frank, obstinate, faultfinding, and argumentative, leading to disputes, breakups, and lawsuits.
This aspect is more relevant for anyone with Sun, Moon, and planets around 14 degrees of Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces.
Lunar Clusters
The lunar aspects listed later in this newsletter show three sets of challenging aspects occurring this coming week. These are times when matters become more intense and stressful on a short-term basis. The first set is late morning and early afternoon on Thursday (Moon-Uranus, Moon-Mars, and Moon-Saturn). The second set is Friday afternoon (Moon-Uranus and Moon-Mars). The third set is Monday morning (Moon-Mars, and Moon-Saturn). Recall that lunar aspects are in effect for a few hours (versus days) before and until the times given for ET.
Current Sun Sign Factors
These sun-sign assessments are only “the tip of the iceberg” for what you should know. Besides your Sun sign degree, there are many other factors to consider that these newsletters cannot cover, such as the transits to your Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Ascendant, and Midheaven degrees. However, awareness of the current transits to your Sun’s position can be invaluable because the positions of the slower-moving planets (Jupiter in Gemini, Saturn in Pisces, Uranus in Taurus, Neptune in Pisces, and Pluto in Aquarius) can create significant trends and events in your life.
To use this information correctly, you need to know the degree of your Sun sign, but the degree of your Sun is not your date of birth. If you need to know the degree of your Sun, call me. I will calculate it for you.

Lunar Aspects
With Moon in Sagittarius, Capricorn, and Aquarius, the most important lunar aspects are listed below. The descriptions do not intend to tell you what will happen in your life at the listed times. Instead, they provide some of the possibilities you can expect around the times given so you can plan your life more wisely. It is often apparent which time frames are better for timing a party, trip, decision, project, business, or other events.
Lunar aspects are in effect for a few hours (versus days) before and until the times given for the Eastern Time Zone. Therefore, you need to adjust the times for where you live. For example, if you live on the West Coast, there is a three-hour difference, so you must subtract three hours.
The plus (+) lunar aspects are favorable. The minus (-) lunar aspects are more likely to bring challenges or difficulties. Sometimes, there is a + and – lunar aspect, which can exhibit positive and negative influences.

Sunday, May 18
12:26 AM Moon in Capricorn Void until 01:29 AM when it enters the next sign, Aquarius.
This Void is almost one hour, so note that there tends to be a lull in the energy levels during Void periods. What you start or implement will likely turn out differently than planned or expected. It’s usually better to do things with less significance or no purpose than to start something new and vital. If you have a new idea, meet someone new, or start a business, those activities are less likely to amount to much.
01:29 AM ET Moon enters Aquarius, where it will remain until Tuesday morning when it enters the next sign, Pisces.

This Void is less than an hour but note that there tends to be a lull in the energy levels during Void periods. What you start or implement will likely turn out differently than planned or expected. It’s usually better to do things with less significance or no purpose than to start something new and vital. For example, if you have a new idea, meet someone new, or start a business, those activities will likely amount to little.
Guidelines for Using This Information
These newsletters are not your typical sun sign column. They provide much more information and guidance, but it may be challenging to sort everything out with so many factors presented, even for astrology students. Therefore, I keep everything as clear and straightforward as possible.
The most critical factor with right timing is what is occurring in your horoscope. When negative aspects dominate your horoscope, the chances of success with right timing diminish no matter how favorable the aspects are in the sky. These newsletters cannot cover what is occurring in your horoscope. However, applying the information in these newsletters with common sense allows you to time your decisions and activities better.
The basic premise with right timing is that it helps to have the “stars” on your side. Starting a marriage, trip, surgery, business, real estate deal, or a major purchase, for example, at an inopportune time reduces the chances of success no matter how good your intentions and how hard you try: the better the timing, the higher your chances of success. Even an hour can make a significant difference in important decisions and events.
Moon enters each zodiac sign about every 28 days and remains in each sign for about two and a half days. When the Moon is in your sun sign, matters will likely come more together for you on a short-term basis unless significant aspects are currently challenging your horoscope.
The traits and qualities I assign to the signs in these newsletters describe the signs’ functions and meanings, versus describing your personality. However, the descriptions may be entirely accurate for you. Furthermore, to understand a person’s personality and character from an astrological perspective, dozens of factors besides one’s sun sign must be considered.
Contact me to know what’s going on in your horoscope and to make better decisions at better times. We will schedule a private consultation at my office or on the phone so you can know more about your future and better understand the issues and opportunities in your life as well as your relationships, job, career, education, finances, children, parents, travel, health, location, retirement, karma, and purpose in life.
