Assumptions & Mars
Ed Kluska’s Astrology Timing Report, Friday, August 19, 2022
Moon in Gemini from Friday morning until Sunday evening boosts Gemini and, to a lesser degree, the other air signs, Libra and Aquarius. Moon in Gemini also helps any planets and points you have in Gemini and should help bring more things together for Gemini on a short-term basis.
Moon in Gemini supports anyone’s involvement with Gemini-related activities such as sales, teaching, writing, and intellectual pursuits; communicating and exchanging information by sending emails, writing letters, and calling friends; any social event which connects you with new acquaintances; exploring curiosity by reading a book, watching documentaries, and gathering information on different topics; and short trips for fun, pleasure, and education.
Be Careful With Your Assumptions
People with a Mercury-Neptune aspect in their horoscope are typically imaginative and creative and can possess dramatic, artistic, or musical abilities. They enjoyed daydreaming, fantasizing, pretending, and probably lived in "their own little world" a good deal as a child. They perceive things that are not obvious to others and have an uncanny ability to "read" people and situations.
However, communication with others is difficult because they often find words frustrating and inadequate to express their experiences and perceptions. Learning to discipline and focus their mind is necessary if they wish to use all their creative potentials. Otherwise, they may only be a dreamer.
Mercury in Virgo opposite Neptune in Pisces is now active.This favors the world of imagination, creativity, dreams, fantasy, fiction, art, music, movies, drama, and the psychic. However, with this aspect active, you need to be careful with your thinking and assumptions. The imagination associated with Neptune can get out of hand. Things can be too good to be true. The mind can play tricks on you. False assumptions are made. Mercury rules thinking, and with a discordant Neptune, there can be lies, confusion, deception, faulty reasoning, and a lack of clarity.
Mars Into Gemini
Mars, the energy and initiative planet, changes signs about every six weeks, except when it goes retrograde, which is the case this time because Mars will become retrograde this Fall. Much more about this important factor in future newsletters.
Entering Gemini early Saturday morning, Mars will now energize Gemini and help, to a lesser degree, the other air signs, Libra and Aquarius. On the other hand, with Mars related to desires, passions, conflicts, urgency, impulsiveness, and stress, Mars in Gemini will challenge the planets and points you have in Gemini, Virgo, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, and Pisces, until it enters the next sign Cancer, on March 25, 2023.
For example, if your Sun is in one of the above signs, you will likely experience some discord and irritations for a few days during the next six weeks when Mars aspects the position of your Sun. If Mars aspects your Moon, expect irritations and aggravations, especially involving females. If aspecting your Venus, expect increased passions and possible relationship discord. If aspecting your Mars, expect aggravations and differences, especially involving men. If aspecting your Saturn, expect extra work, demands, stress, and frustrations. If aspecting your Uranus, be on alert for impulsiveness, accidents, and injuries.
Sun Sign Updates
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. For example, if you were born on September 27, the degree of your Sun is around 05 degrees Libra. If you were born on October 15, the degree of your Sun is around 22 degrees Libra. If you don’t know the degree of your Sun, call me, and I will calculate it for you.
These sun-sign assessments are only “the tip of the iceberg” for what you should know. A complete evaluation is far more complex and involved than any newsletter can present. For example, there are many other factors besides your sun sign to consider, such as the transits to all the planets and points in your horoscope. However, awareness of the current transits to your Sun’s position can be invaluable because of the current positions of the slower-moving planets (Mars in Taurus, Jupiter in Aries, Saturn in Aquarius, Uranus in Taurus, Neptune in Pisces, and Pluto in Capricorn) can create significant trends and events in your life.

Lunar Aspects
The most important aspects of the Moon in Gemini are listed below. The descriptions do not intend to tell you what will happen in your life at the times given. Instead, they provide some of the possible influences 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 must 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. The + and - lunar aspects can exhibit positive and negative influences.
Friday, August 19
08:06 AM Moon entered Gemini, where it remains until Sunday evening when it enters the next sign, Cancer.
11:51 PM + (Moon in Gemini 60 Jupiter in Aries) opportunities for any interpersonal situation, including meetings and working with the public. In addition, this lunar aspect increases the possibilities for kindness, benevolence, positive attitudes, shared feelings, and uplifting emotional support.
Saturday, August 20
03:56 AM Mars enters Gemini as highlighted at the top of this newsletter.
Sunday, August 21
09:46 AM - (Moon in Gemini 90 Neptune in Pisces) opportunities for daydreaming, imagination, creativity, prayer, meditation, and highly refined artistic and spiritual feelings and aspirations. However, this aspect increases the possibilities for haziness and emotional confusion and is not ideal for logical discussions and clear-cut decisions.
01:37 PM (Moon in Gemini 150 Pluto in Capricorn) opportunities for digging deeper into your emotions and feelings. However, this aspect can complicate relationships with subtle yet emotionally charged situations, including manipulation, hidden motives, and power struggles, although you may not be fully realized these factors until later.
06:06 PM + (Moon in Gemini 60 Sun in Leo) a harmonious aspect between the Sun and Moon.
06:06 PM Moon in Gemini Void until 08:29 PM when it enters the next sign, Cancer.
This Void is more than two hours, so take note because there tends to be a lull in the energy levels during Void periods. As a result, what you start or implement is less likely to turn out as planned or expected. It’s usually better to do things with less significance or no purpose than to start something new and vital. If you have a new idea, meet someone new, or start a business, those activities are less likely to amount to much.
Guidelines for Using This Information
These newsletters are not your typical sun sign column. They provide much more information and guidance, but it may not be easy for you to sort everything out with so many factors presented, even for astrology students. Therefore, I try to 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 better time your decisions and activities.
The basic premise of 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.
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 are likely to come more together for you short-term 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 need to 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.
