Solar Eclipse
Ed Kluska’s Astrology Timing Report, Wednesday, April 19, 2023
Moon in the earth sign Taurus from early Thursday morning until Saturday morning EDT boosts Taurus and, to a lesser degree, the other earth signs, Virgo and Capricorn. In addition, Moon in Taurus helps any planets and points you have in Taurus and should bring together more things for Taurus on a short-term basis.
Moon in Taurus also supports anyone’s involvement with Taurus-related activities such as gardening, landscaping, agriculture, and geology; connecting with nature by walking in a park or going to the countryside; dealing with financial matters such as organizing records and collecting debts; buying and selling things of value; and artistic endeavors such as singing, painting, sculpture, and designing.
Overall
Taurus is most active with five points in Taurus (Sun, Moon, Node, Venus, and Uranus), which puts more emphasis on the house in your horoscope ruled by Taurus. Also, right timing is complicated by the Sun-Pluto aspect described below, and you may be facing difficulties if, for example, Mars, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are challenging your horoscope.
Solar Eclipse
Early Thursday morning is busy. Moon late in Aries conjuncts Sun late in Aries to form a solar eclipse at 12:12 AM EDT, and shortly thereafter, Sun moves from Aries into Taurus.
Solar eclipses can be thought of as New Moons on steroids because the Sun and Moon align by longitude and latitude. Eclipses are traditionally known for being ominous, portending disasters and catastrophes when parts of the world plunge into darkness. Furthermore, the effects of eclipses are for months before and after their exact date.
This eclipse forms a significant discordant aspect to Pluto, related to jealousy, sabotage, manipulation, domination, hidden motives, fanaticism, arrogance, subversion, hidden agendas, power struggles, and political maneuvering, especially involving men.
Discordant Sun-Pluto aspects represent the misuse of personal power, dominating or manipulating others, and the subtle ways of trying to control situations or other people. The tyrant in you can come out, or you find yourself dealing with others’ dark, tyrannical side.
Sun-Pluto aspects also bring deep introspection and reflection, the exposure of secrets and hidden agendas, and increased possibilities for extremes with politics, weather, finances, and any issue and complication worldwide.
On the plus side, this is an excellent time to confront and deal with your demons, something that is no longer working for you - from old, outworn possessions to an unhealthy relationship or a deeply ingrained, self-defeating attitude.
This eclipse square Pluto aspect is more relevant for those with planets and points at 00 degrees Taurus, Leo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, and Aquarius.
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 Taurus 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.
Thursday, April 201
12:29 AM Moon enters Taurus, where it remains until Saturday morning EDT when it enters the next sign, Gemini.
01:04 AM - (Moon in Taurus 90 Pluto in Aquarius) 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 fully realize these factors until later.
07:30 AM + (Moon in Taurus 00 Node in Taurus) this once-a-month lunar aspect brings opportunities for connecting with people via networking, social interactions, and alliances with large and small groups.
Friday, April 21
04:05 AM + (Moon in Taurus 00 Mercury in Taurus) this once-a-month lunar aspect brings excellent opportunities for perception, thoughtfulness, communication, and writing.
08:09 AM + - (Moon in Taurus 00 Uranus in Taurus) this once-a-month lunar intense aspect brings opportunities for increased instincts, willfulness, and aspirations regarding anything new, different, exciting, and adventuresome. On the other hand, this aspect also brings nervousness, anxiety, upsets, restlessness, excitability, volatility, and emotionally charged situations.
Saturday, March 25
04:54 AM - (Moon in Taurus 45 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.
06:10 AM PM EDT Moon enters the next sign, Gemini.
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.
