A Full Moon and three challenging solar aspects dominate the sky this week, with Moon in Pisces from Sunday evening EDT until late Tuesday afternoon, in Aries until late Thursday afternoon, and in Taurus until late Saturday afternoon. The Sun is the most important point in a horoscope. It is unusual to have three challenging solar aspects within a week.
Sun-Mars
As reported in my last newsletter, Sun in Libra square Mars in Cancer, which has been in effect this past week until tomorrow, increases the potential for irritations, hastiness, stubbornness, differences, intolerance, and ego battles, especially involving males. It typically coincides with accidents, aggression, violence, natural disasters, and escalated military tensions. It is a war aspect.
This challenging aspect is more relevant for those with Sun, Moon, planets, and points around 21.5 degrees of Aries, Cancer, Libra, Sagittarius, Capricorn, and Aquarius.
Full Moon
Thursday at 07:26 AM, Moon in Aries opposes Sun in Libra to form a Full Moon at 24.5 degrees Aries and Libra, making this Full Moon more relevant for anyone with their Sun, Moon, and any planets around 24.5 degrees of the cardinal signs (Aries Cancer Libra Capricorn).
Full Moons intensify matters, heighten emotions, and create extremes like the weather. This Full Moon is more challenging because it is surrounded by the three challenging solar aspects explained in this newsletter.
According to the principles of right timing, any business, project, decision, relationship, wedding, or child born, for example, started around this time, will have the qualities and characteristics of this Full Moon and the three challenging solar aspects.
Sun-Uranus
For the past few days and extending through this coming weekend, Sun in Libra 150 Uranus in Taurus brings more excitement, restlessness, impulsiveness, aggravations, and ego battles than usual, especially involving men. With this solar aspect active, everything speeds up, and the status quo tends to be upset with surprises, unexpected events, turbulent changes, and highly charged situations.
Challenging Sun-Uranus aspects increase the chances for natural disasters such as blizzards, hurricanes, and earthquakes as well as accidents, attacks, violence, protests, anarchy, and escalated military tensions.
This challenging aspect is more relevant for those with Sun, Moon, planets, and points around 26 degrees of Taurus, Leo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, and Aquarius.
Sun-Neptune
For the past few days and extending through this coming weekend, Sun in Libra 150 Neptune in Pisces is not a major stress-producing aspect. Still, it can bring problems with chemicals, liquids, gases, and water, such as rain and floods, and people due to lies, false assumptions, misunderstandings, fantasies, and confusion with a lack of clarity due to Neptune.
Negative Neptune aspects can allure, deceive, and glamorize. As a result, blind spots are more likely. Things may not be as they appear, so keep your feet on the ground and guard against making mistakes due to naivety, confusion, deception, false promises, and misrepresentations.
This challenging aspect is more relevant for those with Sun, Moon, planets, and points around 28 degrees of Gemini, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Sagittarius, and Pisces.

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
With Moon in Pisces, Aries, and Taurus for the coming week, the most important lunar 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.

Monday, October 14
02:08 PM + – (Moon in Pisces 00 Saturn in Pisces) 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, especially involving females.
Tuesday, October 15
02:37 AM + (Moon in Pisces 90 Jupiter in Gemini) 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.

This Void is less than an hour but note that there tends to be a lull in energy levels during Void periods. What you start or implement will likely to turn out differently than planned or expected. It’s usually better to do things with less significance or no purpose than to start something new and vital.

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.
