Wishing you a healthy, happy, and prosperous 2025!
Venus Shift
Thursday evening, Venus, the planet related to love, money, comfort, and the arts, leaves Aquarius and enters the water sign Pisces. This shift brings (good but not major) blessings and benefits to Pisces and, to a lesser degree, the other water signs, Cancer and Scorpio, and the house in your horoscope ruled by Pisces until February 04 when it enters the next sign, Aries.
Mars Opposite Pluto
The most significant factor this week is Mars in Leo opposite Pluto in Aquarius, which will intensify everything, including differences, controversies, and wars.
Discordant Mars-Pluto aspects increase the possibilities for intolerance, unrest, turmoil, anger, rage, cruelty, and vulgarity. No planetary aspect is more related to accidents, injuries, violence, assaults, murders, shootings, natural disasters, political strife, military aggression, and war.
This aspect is especially relevant for anyone born with planets and points around 01 degree of Taurus, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces.
On the plus side, Mars-Pluto aspects can generate extraordinary determination, endurance, stamina, and hard work, leading to productive efforts.

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 Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces, 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.

Wednesday, January 01
01:02 AM Moon in Capricorn Void until 05:49 AM when it enters the next sign, Aquarius.
This Void is almost five hours, so note that there tends to be a lull in the energy levels during Void periods. What you start or implement will likely 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. For example, if you have a new idea, meet someone new, or start a business, those activities will likely amount to little.
05:49 AM EST Moon enters Aquarius, where it will remain until Friday morning, when it enters the next sign, Pisces.

Gridlines 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.
