Fourth of July (Moon Leo)
Ed Kluska’s Astrology Timing Report
With Sun and Venus in Cancer, Mars in Leo, and Moon in Leo from this evening until early Saturday morning, we have the perfect combination for this Fourth of July.
Cancer is related to cooking, family, home, history, and patriotism; and Leo is fun, parties, celebrations, children, and loved ones. With this sign combination, hopefully people can put their political differences aside and come together with family and friends to celebrate our nation’s history, purpose, and prosperity.
At this time, there are no major deterrent * factors, which means these days are more on the plus side but pay attention to the challenging lunar aspects described later in this newsletter.
Mercury turning retrograde Sunday evening, July 07, will be covered in my next newsletter. For now, be aware that the effects of Mercury retrograde are not just for the day Mercury turns retrograde. The five days before and after Mercury turns retrograde are significant because there will more likely be important shifts and changes with your thoughts, attitudes, and plans.
Sun Sign Trends with Moon in Leo
For a complete assessment of what is going on in your horoscope, there are dozens of factors to consider besides your sun sign such as the transits to all the other planets and points in your horoscope. However, merely being aware of the current transits to your Sun position as explained below can be invaluable because the outer planets (Uranus Neptune Pluto), for example, can create life-altering trends and events. For a complete understanding of what is occurring in your horoscope, contact me.

Daily Aspects with Moon in Leo
Wednesday, July 03
10:24 AM Moon in Cancer Void until 11:19 PM when it enters the next sign, Leo.
This Void is longer than usual (more than half a day), so take note because 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. 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.
* 11:17 AM (Venus enters Cancer) where it remains until July 27 when it enters the next sign, Leo. Venus, the planet related to fun, gifts, money, and love in Cancer brings benefits to Cancer, and to a lesser degree, the other water signs (Scorpio and Pisces), as well as the house in your horoscope ruled by Cancer.
11:19 PM Moon enters Leo where it remains until early Saturday morning when it enters the next sign, Virgo.
Moon in Leo favors Leo and anyone’s involvement with Leo-related activities such as anything dramatic, glamorous, and in the public limelight; romance and courtship; connecting more with children and loved ones; fun, parties, entertainment, hobbies, and recreation; theater, art, and creative endeavors; and wherever leadership and self-assurance can be applied.
Thursday, July 04
01:41 AM + - (Moon in Leo 00 Mars in Leo) this intense, once a month lunar aspect magnifies feelings, passions, and motivations, and can also bring upsets, impatience, impulsiveness, strong desires, and even anger and forceful actions, especially involving females. If you are trying to resolve an issue with someone, for example, be aware that upsets and volatile emotions are more likely than rational thinking.
02:01 AM + (Moon in Leo 135 Jupiter in Sagittarius) favors reaching out and connecting with people including meetings, parties, and social gatherings because this aspect increases the possibilities for kindness, benevolence, shared feelings, optimism, positive attitudes, and uplifting emotional support.
05:21 AM - (Moon in Leo 135 Neptune in Pisces) increases the possibilities for haziness and emotional confusion as well as highly refined artistic and spiritual feelings and aspirations. This period is better for daydreaming, imagination, creativity, prayer, and meditation than for logical discussions and clear-cut decisions.
05:50 AM + (Moon in Leo 00 Mercury in Leo) this once a month lunar aspect favors reflection, writing, and communication because it creates a more active exchange between the conscious and unconscious minds. In Leo, this aspect is particularly favorable for writing, design, other creative activities.
* 08:32 AM + - (Mars in Leo 135 Jupiter in Sagittarius) in effect for days, this aspect is related to victory and success and supports any new idea or venture. People with this aspect have the drive and courage to make their visions a reality. They innately feel confident and optimistic doing whatever they need to do. The problem is that they can always be pushing too much for more and more and overdoing everything in the process.
09:11 AM - (Moon in Leo 90 Uranus in Taurus) this emotionally charged aspect occurs twice a month and increases instincts and willfulness, but also brings nervousness, anxiety, fears, upsets, restlessness, excitability, volatility, and emotionally charged situations, especially involving females and families.
Friday, July 05
Note: the two favorable lunar aspects below occur within a short time.
02:24 AM + (Moon in Leo 120 Jupiter in Sagittarius) favors reaching out and working with people including meetings, parties, and social gatherings because this aspect increases the possibilities for kindness, benevolence, shared feelings, optimism, positive attitudes, and uplifting emotional support. This aspect is particularly suitable for advertising, marketing, and promotion because of the qualities of the fire signs, Leo and Sagittarius.
03:12 AM + (Moon in Leo 45 Venus in Cancer) this lovely combination fosters cooperation, cheerfulness, affections, pleasantries, gracefulness, emotional sharing, and artistic expression, especially involving females.
Note: the three challenging lunar aspects below occur within a short time.
04:01 AM - (Moon in Leo 150 Saturn Capricorn) this emotionally restrictive aspect typically creates anxieties, worries, fears, and differences. However, it can also provide an atmosphere for orderly, practical, conscientious, steady, pragmatic, and realistic plans and activities.
05:52 AM - (Moon in Leo 150 Neptune in Pisces) increases the possibilities for haziness and emotional confusion as well as highly refined artistic and spiritual feelings and aspirations. This period is better for daydreaming, imagination, creativity, prayer, and meditation than for logical discussions and clear-cut decisions.
11:30 AM - (Moon in Leo 150 Pluto in Capricorn) is related to complicated interpersonal situations, especially involving females and family matters. There is more likely to be subtle yet emotionally charged situations involving manipulation, hidden motives, and power struggles, although these factors may not be fully realized until later.
11:30 AM Moon in Leo Void until 12:25 AM Saturday when it enters the next sign, Virgo.
Again, this Void is longer than usual (more than half a day), so take note because 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. 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.
Guidelines for Using This Information
These newsletters are not your typical sun sign columns. They provide much more information and guidance, but with so many factors presented, it can be difficult to sort everything out, even for students of astrology. I try to keep everything as clear and straightforward as possible.
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 than the * factors 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 with 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.
To know what’s going on in your horoscope and to make better decisions at better times, contact me. 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.
