Four significant factors dominate the sky this coming week: Jupiter retrograde, Pluto direct, Mercury aspecting Neptune, and Sun aspecting Mars.
Jupiter Retrograde
The impact of an outer planet changing direction can be far more significant than Mercury Retrograde because when an outer planet changes directions, it “sits” stationary at a certain degree of the zodiac for up to a month, depending on the planet involved. An opportunity and challenge, which typically takes a week or so to transpire by transit, can extend for months with these stationary positions.
Wednesday morning, Jupiter turns retrograde at 21 degrees Gemini, which means that for about four weeks, Jupiter has been and will be “hanging” around that degree, creating advances, opportunities, and breakthroughs for those with planets and points around 21 degrees Gemini, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces.
Pluto Direct
Friday evening, Pluto, the planet of transformation, turns direct at 29.5 degrees Capricorn, which means that for about four weeks, Pluto has been and will be “hanging” around that degree, creating significant challenges and fundamental changes for those with planets and points around 29.5 degrees Aries, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Libra, and Capricorn.
Mercury Aspects Neptune
From now through the middle of next week, Mercury 150 Neptune typically creates problems with wind (Mercury) and water (Neptune) and with thinking. The imagination associated with Neptune can get out of hand and false assumptions are made.
This aspect is more relevant for those with Sun, Moon, planets, and points around 28 degrees of Gemini, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Sagittarius, and Pisces.
Sun Aspects Mars
From now through the middle of this month, Sun square Mars increases the potential for hastiness, stubbornness, differences, intolerance, and ego battles, especially involving males, and typically coincides with accidents, aggression, violence, natural disasters, and escalated military tensions. It is a war aspect.
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 aspect is more relevant for those with Sun, Moon, planets, and points around 21.5 degrees of Aries, Cancer, Libra, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius.
Positive Lunar Aspects
The lunar aspects listed later in this newsletter cover Moon in Sagittarius from early Sunday evening EDT until Wednesday morning and in Capricorn until early Friday afternoon. There is a streak of six positive lunar aspects extending from Thursday evening through Friday morning. Recall that lunar aspects are in effect for a few hours (versus days) before and until the times given for EDT.

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 Sagittarius and Capricorn 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.

11:53 AM Moon in Capricorn Void until 12:31 PM EDT when it enters the next sign, Aquarius.
This Void is less than an hour but 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.
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.
