Here Comes Mercury Retrograde
Ed Kluska’s Astrology Timing Report, Tuesday, September 06, 2022
Moon in the air sign Aquarius from late Tuesday evening until early Friday morning boosts Aquarius and, to a lesser degree, the other air signs, Gemini and Libra. Moon in Aquarius also helps any planets and points you have in Aquarius and should bring together more things for Aquarius on a short-term basis.
Moon in Aquarius supports anyone’s involvement with Aquarius-related attitudes and activities such as analyzing, observing, questioning, experimenting, and investigating; exploring what is new, novel, unusual, progressive, and nonconforming; science, technology, engineering, computers, electronics, inventions, and aviation; and working with clubs, organizations, special interest groups, and philanthropic and charitable organizations.
Here Comes Mercury Retrograde
You will likely experience important shifts in your thinking, attitudes, and plans during the coming week. Furthermore, it would be helpful if you were more careful with your decisions because, from my research, the five days before and after Mercury goes retrograde (in this case, Friday, September 09) and the five days before and after Mercury goes direct (October 02) are the most significant days for Mercury Retrograde.
Unfortunately, many believe everything goes wrong when Mercury is retrograde. Still, many successful organizations, companies, corporations, and individuals have Mercury retrograde in their horoscopes.
Also, too many people blame Mercury Retrograde for their problems and mishaps when, in fact, more significant factors are contributing to their difficulties, such as Mars, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto making challenging aspects to important planets and points in their horoscope.
Furthermore, Mercury retrograde periods are favorable for inward-oriented activities such as reflection, reviewing, and meditation, making this a good time for writing, editing, researching, and problem-solving.
However, with Mercury ruling thoughts and communication, there will likely be more “mess-ups” and complications than usual, including mental lapses and mistakes, misunderstandings, false assumptions, missed appointments, lost checks, written typos, cancellations, and postponements. For example, you are more likely to encounter longer delays, misplaced luggage, lost hotel room keys, unforeseen detours, and inaccurate directions when you travel.
Most importantly, the decisions you make and the plans you start with Mercury retrograde are more likely to take a twist and be seen differently when unforeseen assumptions and mistakes "come to light” after Mercury goes direct.
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 Moon in Aquarius 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 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.
Tuesday, September 06
05:42 PM + (Moon in Capricorn 00 Pluto in Capricorn) this once-a-month lunar aspect increases the possibilities for deeper feelings and psychic impressions.
05:42 PM Moon in Capricorn Void until 11:41 PM when it enters the next sign, Aquarius.
This Void is almost six hours, so take note because there tends to be a lull in the energy levels during Void periods. 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, for example, those activities are less likely to amount to much.
11:41 PM Moon enters Aquarius, where it remains until early Friday morning when it enters the next sign, Pisces.
Wednesday, September 07
04:04 AM + (Moon in Aquarius 150 Venus in Virgo) opportunities for cooperation, cheerfulness, affections, pleasantries, gracefulness, emotional sharing, and artistic expression, especially involving females.
01:47 PM + (Moon in Aquarius 120 Mercury in Libra) opportunities for perception, thoughtfulness, communication, and writing.
Thursday, September 08
12:36 AM + (Moon in Aquarius 90 Node in Taurus) opportunities for connecting with people via networking, social interactions, and alliances with large and small groups.
06:25 AM - (Moon in Aquarius 90 Uranus in Taurus) opportunities for increased instincts, willfulness, and aspirations regarding anything new, different, exciting, and adventuresome. However, this also brings nervousness, anxiety, upsets, restlessness, excitability, volatility, and emotionally charged situations.
08:33 AM + - (Moon in Aquarius 00 Saturn in Aquarius) this once-a-month lunar aspect brings opportunities for orderly, steady, conscientious, pragmatic, and realistic plans and activities. However, this aspect can also be challenging because it is emotionally restrictive and can create issues, worries, and differences.
02:35 PM Moon in Aquarius Void until 12:42 AM Friday when it enters the next sign, Pisces.
This Void is more than ten hours, so take note because there tends to be a lull in the energy levels during Void periods. 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, for example, 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.
