Sun enters Aquarius
This afternoon at 03:00 PM EST, Sun entered Aquarius, which aids Aquarius and, to a lesser degree, the other air signs (Gemini and Libra) over the coming month. Sun in Aquarius also boosts the house in your chart ruled by Aquarius. For example, if Aquarius rules your eleventh house, the house related to friends, organizations, and group activities, these activities are more likely to benefit you and come to the forefront of your life.
People with Aquarius emphasized in their horoscope are more logical and objective than other signs. This makes them good analysts, researchers, and scientists, but it also tends to make them out of touch with their feelings and emotional needs.
Aquarius is known as the maverick of the zodiac who likes to overturn and shake things up. It has an independent nature that resists being dictated to by society, conventions, customs, and authorities. The urge to break from the past and embrace what’s new and different is a part of their makeup.
Aquarius also represents contemporary and progressive ideas and interests, many of which seem ridiculous, ungrounded, or impractical at the time but are ultimately shown to be the harbinger of the future.
Mercury opposite Mars
Mercury opposite Mars has been in effect for days and becomes exact on Thursday. This challenging aspect is relevant to any birth, wedding, decision, and business started around this time and our country for the next four years because it occurs close to tomorrow’s Inauguration.
Mercury-Mars aspects represent sharp minds and sharp tongues. Mercury is words and ideas, and Mars is knives and aggressions. 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 being too frank, aggressive, fault-finding, and argumentative. This leads to differences, disputes, breakups, lawsuits, and fractured relationships.
Lunar Aspects
With Moon in Libra, Scorpio, and Sagittarius this week, the most important lunar aspects are listed at the end of this newsletter. With Mercury opposite Mars active, note the pairs of challenging aspects Monday and Saturday evenings EST.
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, which 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 Libra, Scorpio, and Sagittarius, 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.
Saturday, January 18

Monday, January 20

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.
