Where everything is
The Moon is a waning crescent, a thin morning Moon.
Sun is at 20°47′ Cancer in the tropical zodiac, 26°43′ Gemini in the sidereal, gate 62 line 1 in Human Design. The tradition associates Sun with authority, health and where one stands on one's own account.
Moon is at 19°58′ Gemini in the tropical zodiac, 25°54′ Taurus in the sidereal, gate 45 line 4 in Human Design. The tradition associates Moon with mood, appetite and what is needed rather than wanted.
Mercury is at 8°58′ Cancer in the tropical zodiac, 14°53′ Gemini in the sidereal, gate 52 line 6 in Human Design. The tradition associates Mercury with talking, writing, negotiating and the paperwork nobody enjoys.
Venus is at 28°16′ Leo in the tropical zodiac, 4°11′ Leo in the sidereal, gate 29 line 5 in Human Design. The tradition associates Venus with relationship, comfort, money and taste.
Mars is at 12°40′ Cancer in the tropical zodiac, 18°35′ Gemini in the sidereal, gate 39 line 4 in Human Design. The tradition associates Mars with effort, friction and the willingness to force a thing through.

Saturn is at 28°35′ Scorpio in the tropical zodiac, 4°31′ Scorpio in the sidereal, gate 14 line 5 in Human Design, and retrograde; a Saturn retrograde is read as structure being tested from the inside. The tradition associates Saturn with structure, limit, work and time.
Uranus is at 20°26′ Aries in the tropical zodiac, 26°22′ Pisces in the sidereal, gate 51 line 6 in Human Design. The tradition associates Uranus with the sudden, the unconventional and the break with what was.
Neptune is at 9°34′ Pisces in the tropical zodiac, 15°29′ Aquarius in the sidereal, gate 37 line 5 in Human Design, and retrograde; an outer planet is retrograde for months at a time; the tradition reads it as the theme turned inward. The tradition associates Neptune with what is blurred, longed for and dissolved.
Pluto is at 14°05′ Capricorn in the tropical zodiac, 20°01′ Sagittarius in the sidereal, gate 38 line 5 in Human Design, and retrograde; an outer planet is retrograde for months at a time; the tradition reads it as the theme turned inward. The tradition associates Pluto with what is buried, and what is forced up.
Rahu is at 4°05′ Libra in the tropical zodiac, 10°01′ Virgo in the sidereal, gate 18 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 62, details, line 1, the Investigator line: the gate the whole day is read through, and the line it sits on. The Moon is in gate 45, the gatherer, line 4, the Opportunist line, and moves on within hours. Each gate has its own page in the library: gate 62 and gate 45.
The Moon's line changes, 13 July 2015, UTC
| 01:36 | 35.4 | change |
| 03:16 | 35.5 | change |
| 04:58 | 35.6 | change |
| 06:40 | 45.1 | the gatherer |
| 08:20 | 45.2 | the gatherer |
| 10:02 | 45.3 | the gatherer |
| 11:44 | 45.4 | the gatherer |
| 13:26 | 45.5 | the gatherer |
| 15:08 | 45.6 | the gatherer |
| 16:50 | 12.1 | caution |
| 18:32 | 12.2 | caution |
| 20:14 | 12.3 | caution |
| 21:56 | 12.4 | caution |
| 23:38 | 12.5 | caution |
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
Venus square Saturn, 0.3° from exact and closing: friction between the two, which is where the work is.
Sun square Uranus, 0.4° from exact and opening: friction between the two, which is where the work is.
Moon sextile Uranus, 0.5° from exact and closing: an easy opening between the two.
Mercury trine Neptune, 0.6° from exact and opening: an ease between the two that can go unused.
Mars opposition Pluto, 1.4° from exact and closing: the two facing each other, and the pull to choose.
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.
