The rare alignment covered in this newsletter is significant for the world and everyone, depending on the placements in one’s horoscope, but is particularly relevant for those with planets and points around 01 degrees of every sign.
A planetary alignment involving a challenging solar aspect to each of the four outermost planets, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto, is in effect from last weekend through this weekend. Each of the four aspects described below occurs about twice a year and would typically form a separate blog in which I would cover the aspect in detail and offer warnings.
What is rare is that all four aspects become exact within a day and a half this weekend, which is extremely rare, maybe only occurring once every hundred years or longer.
This is not “end of the world stuff” but it does not bode well for peace talks for Ukraine and the Middle East and the possibilities increase for violence, outbursts, rage, strife, assaults, accidents, injuries, earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, extreme weather, floods, electrical storms and blackouts, protests, rebellions, bombings, and terrorist acts.
It’s not that everything will be negative and challenging. Still, 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.
Sun Saturn
Challenging Sun-Saturn aspects tend to bring many tests, challenges, obstacles, frustrations, and cooler weather. People with a challenging Sun-Saturn aspect are likely to have a “harder” life than others. There is a tendency toward melancholy, grief, guilt, and low self-esteem. But in the end, the positive qualities associated with Saturn (grit, durability, and hard work) can help make them succeed. Still, it does not come easy.
Sun Uranus
Challenging Sun-Uranus aspects increase the chances for scientific and other breakthroughs, but also natural disasters, unrest, attacks, accidents, violence, protests, anarchy, and escalated military tensions.
Sun Neptune
Challenging Sun-Neptune aspects create confusion, deception, escapism, disappointment, weakness, illness, and heavy rainfall and floods. Negative aspects involving Neptune allure, deceive, and glamorize. One must guard against naivety, deceit, false promises, and disappointments. Things may not be as they appear. There are possible blind spots.
Sun Pluto
Challenging Sun-Pluto aspects are related to jealousy, sabotage, manipulation, domination, hidden motives, fanaticism, arrogance, subversion, hidden agendas, power struggles, and political maneuvering. Sun-Pluto aspects also bring the exposure of secrets and hidden agendas, and increased possibilities for extremes in politics, the weather, finances, and any issue or complication worldwide.
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, please call me. I will calculate it for you.

Lunar Aspects
With Moon in Leo and Virgo, 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 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.
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.
