Biden Under Pressure

The most significant factor in the sky through the middle of next week is a powerful aspect, Mars conjunct Uranus, which occurs about once every 2.5 years. Clashes between these two high-energy planets bring more excitement, restlessness, impulsiveness, and aggravation than usual. The status quo tends to be upset with surprises, unexpected events, turbulent changes, and highly charged situations.

There are more likely to be guns and violence, outbursts, rage, strife, assaults, attacks, accidents, injuries, earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, extreme weather, electrical storms, blackouts, and rebellions, bombings, and terrorist acts.

On the plus side, this high-energy aspect also increases the possibilities for adventure, bravery, courage, determination, virility, leadership, and extra energy and determination to help you be more productive.

Biden Under Pressure

For most people (depending on their horoscope and personal cycles), nothing special will happen, but those with Sun, Moon, and planets at 26 degrees Taurus, Leo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, and Aquarius should be more vigilant, including President Biden, because his Sun is at 26 degrees Scorpio.

My April 18, 2024, video report, Biden & Trump, explained what was happening in the horoscopes of the two primary candidates, including the fact that President Biden would face significant challenges this summer with Uranus in Taurus sitting directly opposite his Sun in Scorpio for months.

Uranus has an 84-year cycle, which means that if you live to be 84 years, you will experience Uranus opposite your Sun in your lifetime.

What is significant for President Biden is that this powerful opposition is now being magnified with Mars in Taurus also opposite his Sun from June 09 to July 20, meaning that the opposition to his remaining in the presidential race will continue and that he could experience health challenges, especially with his heart and nerves. He should also be more careful with accidents and injuries. At the very least, this is a highly intense period for him. We’ll see what happens.

Lunar Aspects

The lunar aspects listed later in this newsletter cover Moon in Virgo from Tuesday morning EDT until late Thursday evening, in Libra until late Sunday morning, and in Scorpio until Tuesday evening. Recall that lunar aspects are in effect for a few hours (versus days) before and until the times given for EDT.

My $60 Timing Service

For many years, I have used the principles outlined in these newsletters to provide the best times for clients to act. This $60 less expensive timing service applies to more short-term situations, such as I need to make an important decision by this weekend, what would be the best day this week to ask for a raise, I need to file a lawsuit early next week, we need to close on our mortgage by the middle of this month, when is the best day to have a holiday party, and so forth. Contact me so I can advise you about these types of decisions.

Current Sun Sign Factors

These sun-sign assessments are only “the tip of the iceberg” for what you should know. Besides your Sun sign degree, there are many other factors to consider, which these newsletters cannot cover, 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 Gemini, Saturn in Pisces, Uranus in Taurus, Neptune in Pisces, and Pluto in Aquarius) can create significant trends and events in your life.

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 need to know the degree of your Sun, call me. I will calculate it for you.

Lunar Aspects

The most important Moon in Virgo, Libra, and Scorpio 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.

Guidelines for Using This Information

These newsletters are not your typical sun sign column. They provide much more information and guidance, but it may be challenging to sort everything out with so many factors presented, even for astrology students. Therefore, I 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.
