“Firefighters are battling devastating wildfires around Los Angeles with powerful winds that have scorched more than 35,000 acres and killed at least 11 people. The days-long battle against at least five wildfires burning across the area has Los Angeles residents on edge. New fires spark daily, prompting additional evacuation orders and worries more homes could be lost.”
The astrological factors related to this horrific tragedy are a Full Moon involving Sun opposite Mars (both ruling fire and heat). In addition to Sun and Mars in opposition (with the Earth in between the two), Mars has an orbit of nearly two years and is now at its closest distance to Earth in its two-year orbit.
A Full Moon
Full Moons intensify matters, heighten emotions, and create extremes like the weather. Monday at 05:26 PM EST, Moon in Cancer opposes Sun in Capricorn to form a Full Moon at 24 degrees, making this Full Moon more relevant for anyone with their Sun, Moon, and any planets around 24 degrees of the cardinal signs (Aries Cancer Libra Capricorn).
Sun Opposite Mars
This challenging aspect, in effect the past week and exact on Wednesday, increases the potential for hastiness, stubbornness, differences, intolerance, and ego battles, and typically coincides with accidents, aggression, violence, natural disasters, and escalated military tensions.
With this aspect in effect, it’s more appropriate to be patient and tolerant than pushy and demanding, which may only antagonize others. On the plus side, this aspect generates much energy, willpower, and determination which, if directed properly, can help you be more competitive, productive, and achieving.
This discordant Sun-Mars is more relevant for anyone with their Sun, Moon, and planets around 26 degrees of Aries, Cancer, Libra, Sagittarius, Capricorn, and Aquarius.

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 Cancer and Leo, 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.

Moon in Cancer supports anyone’s involvement with Cancer-related activities such as being with and helping and nurturing family and friends; cooking, household duties, home decorating, and repairs; antiques, memories, and genealogy; and gardening, housing, real estate, land development, farming, and agriculture.
Sunday, January 12
01:51 AM – (Moon in Cancer 150 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 only fully realize these factors later.

05:26 PM – (Moon in Cancer 180 Sun in Capricorn) the exact time for the Full Moon highlighted at the top of this newsletter.
10:47 PM + – (Moon in Cancer 00 Mars in Cancer) this once-a-month lunar aspect brings opportunities for bolder and more direct actions. However, this aspect magnifies feelings and passions, bringing impatience, rashness, impulsiveness, anger, and even forceful actions.

Moon in Leo supports anyone’s involvement with Leo-related attitudes and activities such as romance and courtship; connecting more with children and loved ones; fun, parties, entertainment, hobbies, and recreation; theater, art, and creative endeavors; wherever leadership and self-assurance can be applied; being on stage and projecting your confidence; and what is dramatic, glamorous, and in the public limelight.
06:53 AM – (Moon in Leo 180 Pluto in Aquarius) opportunities for digging deeper into your emotions and feelings.

07:08 AM – (Moon in Leo 150 Neptune in Pisces) opportunities for daydreaming, imagination, creativity, prayer, meditation, and highly refined artistic and spiritual feelings and aspirations. However, this aspect increases the possibilities for haziness and emotional confusion and is not ideal for logical discussions and clear-cut decisions.
07:08 AM EST Moon in Leo Void until 11:45 AM when it enters the next sign, Virgo.
This Void is more than four hours, so note that there tends to be a lull in the energy levels during Void periods. As a result, 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. 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 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.
