The sky on 30 March 2017
Where everything is, in the tropical zodiac Western astrology uses and the sidereal zodiac Vedic astrology uses, with the Human Design gate each body sits in, and what turns in the next thirty days.

Where everything is
The Moon is a waxing crescent, growing in the evening sky.
Sun is at 9°58′ Aries in the tropical zodiac, 15°52′ Pisces in the sidereal, gate 21 line 1 in Human Design. The tradition associates Sun with authority, health and where one stands on one's own account.
Moon is at 12°25′ Taurus in the tropical zodiac, 18°19′ Aries in the sidereal, gate 24 line 6 in Human Design. The tradition associates Moon with mood, appetite and what is needed rather than wanted.
Mercury is at 28°38′ Aries in the tropical zodiac, 4°32′ Aries in the sidereal, gate 3 line 3 in Human Design. The tradition associates Mercury with talking, writing, negotiating and the paperwork nobody enjoys.
Venus is at 1°52′ Aries in the tropical zodiac, 7°46′ Pisces in the sidereal, gate 25 line 4 in Human Design, and retrograde; a Venus retrograde is read as a review of what is valued and who. The tradition associates Venus with relationship, comfort, money and taste.
Mars is at 14°38′ Taurus in the tropical zodiac, 20°32′ Aries in the sidereal, gate 2 line 2 in Human Design. The tradition associates Mars with effort, friction and the willingness to force a thing through.
Jupiter is at 19°19′ Libra in the tropical zodiac, 25°14′ Virgo in the sidereal, gate 57 line 5 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 27°46′ Sagittarius in the tropical zodiac, 3°40′ Sagittarius in the sidereal, gate 11 line 6 in Human Design. The tradition associates Saturn with structure, limit, work and time.
Uranus is at 23°37′ Aries in the tropical zodiac, 29°31′ Pisces in the sidereal, gate 42 line 4 in Human Design. The tradition associates Uranus with the sudden, the unconventional and the break with what was.
Neptune is at 12°45′ Pisces in the tropical zodiac, 18°40′ Aquarius in the sidereal, gate 63 line 2 in Human Design. The tradition associates Neptune with what is blurred, longed for and dissolved.
Pluto is at 19°17′ Capricorn in the tropical zodiac, 25°11′ Sagittarius in the sidereal, gate 54 line 5 in Human Design. The tradition associates Pluto with what is buried, and what is forced up.
Rahu is at 2°50′ Virgo in the tropical zodiac, 8°44′ Leo in the sidereal, gate 59 line 3 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 21, the hunter, line 1, the Investigator line: the gate the whole day is read through, and the line it sits on. The Moon is in gate 24, rationalisation, line 6, the Role Model line, and moves on within hours. Each gate has its own page in the library: gate 21 and gate 24.
The Moon's line changes, 30 March 2017, UTC

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
Jupiter square Pluto, 0.0° from exact and opening: friction between the two, which is where the work is.
Moon sextile Neptune, 0.3° from exact and closing: an easy opening between the two.
Mercury trine Saturn, 0.9° from exact and opening: an ease between the two that can go unused.
Mars sextile Neptune, 1.9° from exact and opening: an easy opening between the two.
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 24.10 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.

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.
