Full Moon
Ed Kluska’s Astrology Timing Report, Thursday, January 05, 2023
Moon in Cancer from Thursday morning until Saturday evening EST boosts Cancer and, to a lesser degree, the other water signs, Scorpio and Pisces. Moon in Cancer also helps any planets and points you have in Cancer and should help bring more things together for Cancer on a short-term basis.
Moon in Cancer supports anyone’s involvement with Cancer-related activities such as helping family and friends; nurturing people along; cooking, household duties, home decorating and repairs; antiques, memories, and genealogy; and gardening, housing, real estate, land development, farming, and agriculture.
Mercury Retrograde
Now a week into Mercury Retrograde (December 29 to January 18), you are likely experiencing important shifts in your thinking, attitudes, and plans. Mercury Retrograde does not mean everything will go wrong and haywire, but it is helpful to be careful with your plans and decisions because they are more likely to take a twist and be seen differently when unforeseen assumptions "come to light” after Mercury goes direct on January 18.
Full Moon
Tomorrow at 06:07 PM EST, Moon in Cancer opposes Sun in Capricorn to form a Full Moon at 16 degrees Cancer and Capricorn, making this Full Moon more relevant for anyone with their Sun, Moon, and any planets at 16 degrees of the cardinal signs (Aries Cancer Libra Capricorn).
Full Moons intensify matters, heighten emotions, and create extremes such as with the weather, and highlight the two signs involved, such as Cancer and Capricorn.
The water sign Cancer and the earth sign Capricorn operate quite differently, which is relevant for a child born at this time, anything you start or do at this time, and anyone or any relationship with a Cancer-Capricorn emphasis.
Cancer is more subjective and comfortable with the inner world of emotions, feelings, and sentiments. On the other hand, Capricorn is more objective and comfortable with the outer world of business, enterprise, and science.
Cancer and Capricorn are more conservative and insecure by nature. They are not bold and flashy like the fire signs, Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius. They do not take wild and foolish risks. Radical changes and big gambles are not their styles. They are more comfortable with what is known and established.
Both signs are also more introverted and defensive by nature. They need encouragement, especially when they are young. They need to prove themselves before they feel comfortable and confident with themselves, their relationships, and the world at large. However, once they have established themselves in the world with their careers and families, they can hold great confidence and assurance.
Both signs also have business instincts and talents. Many CEOs and business owners have this sign combination. They also form the foundations of society. Cancer represents homes, families, and mother figures, while Capricorn represents father figures and government institutions such as the police and bureaucrats regulating and protecting our homes and families.
Current Sun Sign Factors
The sun-sign assessments below 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 to consider besides your sun sign, 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 the positions of the slower-moving planets (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.
Furthermore, 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 don’t know the degree of your Sun, call me, and I will calculate it for you.

Lunar Aspects
The most important Moon in Cancer aspects 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 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.

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 to sort everything out with 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 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.
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.
