More Challenging Days: Ed Kluska’s Astrology Timing Report, Monday, June 16, 2025

My last newsletter, A Volatile Ten Days, warned about the status quo being upset with surprises, unexpected events, turbulent changes, and highly charged situations due to a clash between two high-energy, stress-producing planets, Mars and Uranus.

The possibilities increased for violence, outbursts, rage, strife, assaults, accidents, injuries, earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, extreme weather, electrical storms and blackouts, protests, rebellions, bombings, and terrorist acts.

Unfortunately, challenges are likely to persist with two other challenging aspects, Mars 150 Saturn and Sun 90 Saturn, active this week.

Those with their Sun, Moon, and planets around 01 degrees of any sign should be more vigilant.

It’s not that everything will be negative and challenging during this time frame, but according to the principles of right timing, this is not the ideal time to finalize a decision, undertake a project, travel, get married, start a job or business, or any endeavor with risk or danger. For most people, it’s more appropriate to be cautious and patient than aggressive and demanding.

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 Pisces and Aries, 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.

Monday, June 16

02:08 PM ET Moon entered Pisces, where it will remain until Wednesday evening when it enters the next sign, Aries.

Moon in the water sign Pisces boosts Pisces and, to a lesser degree, the other water signs, Cancer and Scorpio. Moon in Pisces also helps any planets and points you have in Pisces and should bring together more things for Pisces in the short term.

Moon in Pisces supports anyone’s involvement with Pisces-related attitudes and activities such as music, dancing, painting, movies, theater, film, drama, poetry, fiction, and photography; working with dreams, imagination, and the subconscious; anything spiritually oriented such as prayer, yoga, and meditation; and unselfishly helping those in need including the sick and less fortunate.

05:00 PM + (Moon in Pisces 120 Jupiter in Cancer) opportunities for any interpersonal situation, including meetings and working with the public. Additionally, this lunar aspect enhances the likelihood of kindness, benevolence, positive attitudes, shared emotions, and uplifting emotional support.

Tuesday, June 17

There are no significant lunar aspects.

Wednesday, June 18

05:40 AM + (Moon in Pisces 00 Node in Pisces) opportunities for connecting with people via networking, social interactions, and alliances with large and small groups.

09:38 PM + – (Moon in Pisces 00 Saturn in Pisces) this once-a-month lunar aspect brings opportunities for orderly, steady, conscientious, pragmatic, and realistic plans and activities. However, this aspect can also be challenging because it is emotionally restrictive and can create issues, worries, and differences, especially involving females.

10:45 PM + (Moon in Aries 90 Jupiter in Cancer) opportunities for any interpersonal situation, including meetings and working with the public. Additionally, this lunar aspect enhances the likelihood of kindness, benevolence, positive attitudes, shared emotions, and uplifting emotional support.

10:16 PM + – (Moon in Aries 00 Neptune in Aries) opportunities for daydreaming, imagination, creativity, prayer, meditation, and highly refined artistic and spiritual feelings and aspirations.

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.
