Mercury Direct
Ed Kluska’s Astrology Timing Report, Wednesday, May 10, 2023
Moon in the air sign Aquarius from late Wednesday evening until early Saturday morning EDT 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 in the short term.
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.
Overall
Taurus continues to be the most active sign with four points (Sun, Node, Mercury, and Uranus), which places emphasis on Taurus and the house in your horoscope ruled by Taurus. There are no significant disruptive aspects now active but continue to be cautious with making decisions. Mercury is still retrograde, as explained below, and you may face difficulties if, for example, Mars, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are challenging your horoscope.
Mercury Direct
Mercury turning direct late Sunday evening EDT should bring relief for many people because Mercury retrograde periods tend to be problematic. As mentioned in recent newsletters, many subscribers and clients have complained about the havoc Mercury Retrograde has been playing with their phones, computers, data, and everyday affairs.
Mercury turning direct is also significant because there are usually significant shifts and changes with our plans, decisions, negotiations, projects, and relationships around the days Mercury goes retrograde and direct. On a larger scale, consider how Mercury Retrograde is and will be affecting important matters such as the immigration crises at our borders and negotiations about the debt limit ceiling.
When Mercury turns direct, the choices you made and the plans you started when Mercury was retrograde are now seen differently as unforeseen assumptions and mistakes "come to light” because Mercury, the planet ruling thinking and communication, is changing direction relative to the earth’s movement.
Still, all this does not mean everything will now be fine and dandy for you and the world. Nor does this mean everything was supposed to go wrong the past three weeks when Mercury was retrograde.
Current Sun Sign Factors
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.
Furthermore, 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, besides your Sun sign degree, there are many other factors to consider, such as the transits to your Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Ascendant, and Midheaven degrees. 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 Pisces, Uranus in Taurus, Neptune in Pisces, and Pluto in Aquarius) 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 listed times. Instead, they provide some of the possibilities 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.
Wednesday, May 10
10:05 PM Moon entered Aquarius, where it remains until early Saturday morning EDT when it enters the next sign, Pisces.
10:39 PM + (Moon in Aquarius 00 Pluto in Aquarius) this once-a-month lunar aspect brings opportunities for experiencing and exploring deeper feelings and psychic impressions.
Thursday, May 11
04:41 AM + (Moon in Aquarius 90 Node in Taurus) opportunities for connecting with people via networking, social interactions, and alliances with large and small groups.
05:01 AM + (Moon in Aquarius 150 Venus in Cancer) opportunities for cooperation, cheerfulness, affection, pleasantries, gracefulness, emotional sharing, and artistic expression, especially involving females.
Friday, May 12
06:12 AM - (Moon in Aquarius 90 Uranus in Taurus) opportunities for increased instincts, willfulness, and aspirations regarding anything new, different, exciting, and adventuresome. However, this aspect also brings nervousness, anxiety, upsets, restlessness, excitability, volatility, and emotionally charged situations.
05:12 PM - (Moon in Aquarius 150 Mars in Cancer) opportunities for bolder and more direct actions. However, this aspect magnifies feelings and passions, bringing impatience, rashness, impulsiveness, anger, and even forceful actions.
11:15 PM + (Moon in Aquarius 60 Jupiter in Aries) opportunities for any interpersonal situation, including meetings and working with the public. This lunar aspect also increases the possibilities for kindness, benevolence, positive attitudes, shared feelings, and uplifting emotional support.
11:15 PM Moon in Aquarius Void until 12:36 AM EDT Saturday when it enters the next sign, Pisces.
This Void is about 90 minutes, 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. For example, 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 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 time your decisions and activities better.
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.
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.
