The following eight days are challenging in the sky. The status quo will likely be upset with surprises, unexpected events, turbulent changes, and highly charged situations. There are higher possibilities for violence, outbursts, rage, strife, assaults, accidents, injuries, earthquakes, extreme weather, storms, floods, protests, rebellions, bombings, and terrorist acts.
All this is because thirteen challenging planetary aspects are active over the next eight days, each of which would take a separate newsletter to cover in detail. It would take an hour-long workshop for me to adequately describe all that is going on now in the sky, including a Solar Eclipse on Sunday, when Moon in Virgo conjuncts Sun in Virgo to form a New Moon and Solar Eclipse at 29 degrees Virgo.
Solar eclipses are like New Moons on steroids because the Sun and Moon align by longitude and latitude, and their effects can last for months before and after their exact date.
Eclipses are known for being ominous, portending disasters and catastrophes when parts of the world plunge into darkness. This one is challenging because it forms discordant aspects to Saturn (the planet related to obstacles, tests, lessons, trials, delays, losses, and complex realities) and to Neptune (the planet related to deception, confusion, misunderstandings, fantasies, and problems with chemicals, liquids, gases, and water, such as heavy rainfalls and floods).
This eclipse and most of the thirteen challenging aspects are more significant for those with planets and points around the last degrees of the mutable signs (Gemini Virgo Sagittarius Pisces) and the early degrees of the cardinal signs (Aries Cancer Libra Capricorn).
It’s not that everything will be negative and challenging over the coming week. Still, according to the principles of right timing, any business, project, decision, relationship, wedding, and childbirth that started around this time will have the qualities and characteristics of the thirteen challenging planetary aspects.
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 sign is not your date of birth. If you need to know the degree of your Sun, please call me. I will calculate it for you.

Lunar Aspects
With Moon in Leo, Virgo, and Libra, 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 that 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 time to 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.

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 enables you to make more informed decisions and take more effective actions.
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.
The 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.
