A Busy Weekend
Ed Kluska’s Astrology Newsletter
This Friday, Saturday, and Sunday there are more lunar aspects and clusters than usual and there is this significant factor explained in my last newsletter. Saturn (29-year cycle) and Pluto (250-year cycle) are nearly conjunct in Capricorn, and for the first time in almost 40 years, Sun is square this alignment.
Challenging Sun-Saturn aspects tend to create delays, obstacles, and difficulties. They do not put the odds on your side. Challenging Sun-Pluto aspects tend to create hidden agendas and complicated situations which eventually come back to haunt you. The combination of Sun, Saturn, and Pluto creates intense and complex situations especially involving men in positions of power and authority.
All this is probably not making a big difference in your life, but it is more relevant (for better or worse) for anyone born around the eleventh to fourteenth of January, April, June, July, August, and October and for anyone with points or planets around 20 to 23 degrees of Aries, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Libra, and Capricorn.
Right Timing Examples
When two clients asked me a week ago to pick a good time soon for them to take an important business trip and to launch a promotional campaign, the aspects above were relevant. I explained why this was not an ideal time to initiate new and important activities. At the very least, I recommended that they wait until these aspects were over (Sun-Saturn on Wednesday and Sun-Pluto on Saturday), and perhaps take advantage of the favorable Sun-Jupiter aspect exact on Sunday.
The basic premise with right timing as highlighted in these newsletters 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 * Factors
Are significant for right timing because they are in effect for a more extended time (up to a week or more). Any business, project, decision, relationship, wedding, and childbirth, for example, started around the dates given will have the qualities and characteristics of the descriptions listed. The aspects become exact at the Eastern Times listed, but the influences can extend beyond these times.
Saturday 04:06 AM - * (Sun in Aries 90 Pluto in Capricorn) mentioned at the top of this newsletter. In effect this past week, this aspect is related to manipulation, hidden motives, fanaticism, arrogance, subversion, power struggles, and political maneuvering, especially involving men. It also increases the possibilities for extremes with the weather, politics, finances, and military conflicts, for example. There are greater complications and risks with all the issues in Washington and conflicts around the world.
Sunday 09:40 AM + * (Sun in Aries 120 Jupiter in Sagittarius) in effect this past week, this aspect has more fortuitous implications. People with this aspect tend to be positive, confident, healthy, cheerful, recognized, popular, and good with people. Their lives are typically more comfortable and successful than for most people.
The Lunar Aspects
Are less significant than the * factors listed above because they are in effect for only hours (versus days) before and until the Eastern Times given, but they are still quite relevant for right timing.

Guidelines for Using This Information
I keep this information as clear and straightforward as possible, but even for students of astrology, it can be difficult to sort everything out. There are many factors to consider, and sometimes the overlapping influences are contradictory. You might say this is just like life.
For starts, keep in mind that these newsletters are not intended to tell you what is going to happen in your life at the times given. Instead, the aspect descriptions provide some of the possible influences you can expect around the times given so you can more wisely plan for and participate in your life. Often, it is obvious which time frames are better than others for timing or starting a party, trip, decision, business, or any other event, for example.
The star (*) factors are more significance for right timing because they are in effect for a more extended time (up to a week or more). Any business, project, decision, relationship, wedding, and childbirth, for example, started around the dates given will have the qualities and characteristics of the descriptions listed.
The lunar (Moon) aspects listed are less significant because they are in effect for only hours (versus days) before and until the Eastern Time given, but they are still quite relevant for right timing.
The plus (+) factors for both the * factors and lunar factors are favorable. The minus (-) factors are more likely to bring challenges or difficulties. Sometimes there is a + and - factor which means the aspect can exhibit both positive and negative influences.
The most critical factor with right timing is what’s 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, but if you apply the information in these newsletters with common sense, you have an advantage with timing your decisions and activities.
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.
During Void periods there tends to be a lull in the energy levels, and what you start, or implement is less likely to turn out the way you planned or expected. So, it’s usually better to do things with less significance or no purpose in mind versus trying to start something new and vital. If you have a new idea, meet someone new, or start a business, for example, those activities are less likely to amount to much.
The Moon enters each sign of the zodiac about every 28 days and remains in that sign for about two and a half days. When the Moon’s in your sun sign, matters are likely to come more together for you on a short-term basis unless there are significant aspects currently challenging your horoscope.
Note that the traits and qualities I assign to each sign in these newsletters describe more the functions and meanings of the signs versus trying to describe your personality, although at times the descriptions may be entirely accurate. Furthermore, to understand a person’s personality and character from an astrological perspective, there are a multitude of factors in a horoscope to consider besides one's sun sign.

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.
