Where everything is

The Moon is waning gibbous, past full and rising later each night.

Sun is at 20°35′ Pisces in the tropical zodiac, 26°31′ Aquarius in the sidereal, gate 22 line 4 in Human Design. The tradition associates Sun with authority, health and where one stands on one's own account.

Moon is at 23°58′ Scorpio in the tropical zodiac, 29°54′ Libra in the sidereal, gate 43 line 6 in Human Design. The tradition associates Moon with mood, appetite and what is needed rather than wanted.

Mercury is at 27°34′ Aquarius in the tropical zodiac, 3°29′ Aquarius in the sidereal, gate 30 line 4 in Human Design. The tradition associates Mercury with talking, writing, negotiating and the paperwork nobody enjoys.

Venus is at 22°50′ Aries in the tropical zodiac, 28°46′ Pisces in the sidereal, gate 42 line 3 in Human Design. The tradition associates Venus with relationship, comfort, money and taste.

Mars is at 14°53′ Aries in the tropical zodiac, 20°49′ Pisces in the sidereal, gate 21 line 6 in Human Design. The tradition associates Mars with effort, friction and the willingness to force a thing through.

Jupiter is at 13°50′ Leo in the tropical zodiac, 19°46′ Cancer in the sidereal, gate 7 line 1 in Human Design, and retrograde; a Jupiter retrograde is read as growth consolidating rather than spreading. The tradition associates Jupiter with growth, teaching and the widening of things.

Saturn is at 4°55′ Sagittarius in the tropical zodiac, 10°51′ Scorpio in the sidereal, gate 34 line 6 in Human Design. The tradition associates Saturn with structure, limit, work and time.

Uranus is at 15° Aries in the tropical zodiac, 20°56′ Pisces in the sidereal, gate 21 line 6 in Human Design. The tradition associates Uranus with the sudden, the unconventional and the break with what was.

Neptune is at 7°46′ Pisces in the tropical zodiac, 13°42′ Aquarius in the sidereal, gate 37 line 3 in Human Design. The tradition associates Neptune with what is blurred, longed for and dissolved.

Pluto is at 15°13′ Capricorn in the tropical zodiac, 21°08′ Sagittarius in the sidereal, gate 54 line 1 in Human Design. The tradition associates Pluto with what is buried, and what is forced up.

Rahu is at 10°04′ Libra in the tropical zodiac, 16° Virgo in the sidereal, gate 48 line 1 in Human Design. The tradition associates the nodes with appetite and the unfamiliar; Ketu, opposite it, detachment and endings.

In Human Design

The Sun is in gate 22, openness, line 4, the Opportunist line: the gate the whole day is read through, and the line it sits on. The Moon is in gate 43, insight, line 6, the Role Model line, and moves on within hours. Each gate has its own page in the library: gate 22 and gate 43.

Times in UTC. A line is a sixth of a gate, a little under a degree; the Moon crosses one every hour or two. Where the Sun's gate is the day's theme, the tradition reads the Moon's as the hour's, and neither is a forecast.

Tight aspects at noon

Mars conjunction Uranus, 0.1° from exact and opening: the two acting as one.

Uranus square Pluto, 0.2° from exact and closing: friction between the two, which is where the work is.

Mars square Pluto, 0.3° from exact and opening: friction between the two, which is where the work is.

Mars trine Jupiter, 1.1° from exact and opening: an ease between the two that can go unused.

Jupiter trine Uranus, 1.2° from exact and opening: an ease between the two that can go unused.

Within two degrees of exact, one for the Moon. Closing means the aspect is still tightening; opening means it has passed. The slow pairs stay for weeks and the Moon's pass in hours.

Why the two zodiacs disagree about everything above

Every body sits about 24 degrees earlier in the sidereal zodiac than in the tropical one.

Western astrology anchors its zodiac to the seasons and Vedic astrology to the stars, and the two have drifted 24.07 degrees apart. That is why a Western page and a Vedic one can name different signs for the same planet on the same day, and why neither is wrong. We show both, every time, and where a reading depends on which one was used we say so.

What turns in the next thirty days

12 Mar 2015: Venus enters Aries in the sidereal zodiac.

13 Mar 2015: Mercury enters Pisces in the tropical zodiac.

17 Mar 2015: Venus enters Taurus in the tropical zodiac.

20 Mar 2015: new Moon.

04 Apr 2015: full Moon.

06 Apr 2015: Venus enters Taurus in the sidereal zodiac.

08 Apr 2015: Jupiter turns direct. The tradition reads a station direct as the body's business resuming.

A sign change or a station is a condition beginning or ending. The tradition reads the condition; it does not read an event into it, and neither does this page.
