The sky on 22 March 2019

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. This is weather, not a forecast: nothing here is about you, and nothing here says what will happen. To see where this sky stands on your own chart, the calculator is free.

Where everything is

The Moon is full, rising as the Sun sets; the tradition reads it as the month's high water.

Sun is at 1°34′ Aries in the tropical zodiac, 7°27′ Pisces in the sidereal, gate 25 line 4 in Human Design. The tradition associates Sun with authority, health and where one stands on one's own account.

Moon is at 21°22′ Libra in the tropical zodiac, 27°14′ Virgo in the sidereal, gate 32 line 1 in Human Design. The tradition associates Moon with mood, appetite and what is needed rather than wanted.

Mercury is at 17°55′ Pisces in the tropical zodiac, 23°47′ Aquarius in the sidereal, gate 22 line 1 in Human Design, and retrograde; a Mercury retrograde is read as a fortnight or so of things going back for a second look: messages, plans, paperwork. The tradition associates Mercury with talking, writing, negotiating and the paperwork nobody enjoys.

Venus is at 24°49′ Aquarius in the tropical zodiac, 0°41′ Aquarius in the sidereal, gate 30 line 1 in Human Design. The tradition associates Venus with relationship, comfort, money and taste.

Mars is at 24°11′ Taurus in the tropical zodiac, 0°04′ Taurus in the sidereal, gate 23 line 6 in Human Design. The tradition associates Mars with effort, friction and the willingness to force a thing through.

Jupiter is at 23°47′ Sagittarius in the tropical zodiac, 29°39′ Scorpio in the sidereal, gate 11 line 2 in Human Design. The tradition associates Jupiter with growth, teaching and the widening of things.

Saturn is at 19°20′ Capricorn in the tropical zodiac, 25°12′ Sagittarius in the sidereal, gate 54 line 5 in Human Design. The tradition associates Saturn with structure, limit, work and time.

Uranus is at 0°47′ Taurus in the tropical zodiac, 6°39′ Aries in the sidereal, gate 3 line 5 in Human Design. The tradition associates Uranus with the sudden, the unconventional and the break with what was.

Neptune is at 16°44′ Pisces in the tropical zodiac, 22°37′ Aquarius in the sidereal, gate 63 line 6 in Human Design. The tradition associates Neptune with what is blurred, longed for and dissolved.

Pluto is at 22°53′ Capricorn in the tropical zodiac, 28°46′ Sagittarius in the sidereal, gate 61 line 3 in Human Design. The tradition associates Pluto with what is buried, and what is forced up.

Rahu is at 24°16′ Cancer in the tropical zodiac, 0°08′ Cancer in the sidereal, gate 62 line 4 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 25, the spirit of the self, line 4, the Opportunist line: the gate the whole day is read through, and the line it sits on. The Moon is in gate 32, continuity, line 1, the Investigator line, and moves on within hours. Each gate has its own page in the library: gate 25 and gate 32.

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 sextile Rahu, 0.1° from exact and opening: an easy opening between the two.

Venus square Mars, 0.6° from exact and opening: friction between the two, which is where the work is.

Venus sextile Jupiter, 1.0° from exact and opening: an easy opening between the two.

Mercury conjunction Neptune, 1.2° from exact and closing: the two acting as one.

Mars trine Pluto, 1.3° from exact and opening: an ease between the two that can go unused.

Pluto opposition Rahu, 1.4° from exact and closing: the two facing each other, and the pull to choose.

Mercury sextile Saturn, 1.4° 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 24.13 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

23 Mar 2019: Rahu enters Gemini in the sidereal zodiac.

27 Mar 2019: Venus enters Pisces in the tropical zodiac.

28 Mar 2019: Mercury turns direct. The tradition reads a station direct as the body's business resuming.

29 Mar 2019: Jupiter enters Sagittarius in the sidereal zodiac.

31 Mar 2019: Mars enters Gemini in the tropical zodiac.

05 Apr 2019: new Moon.

10 Apr 2019: Jupiter turns retrograde. A Jupiter retrograde is read as growth consolidating rather than spreading.

12 Apr 2019: Mercury enters Pisces in the sidereal zodiac.

14 Apr 2019: Sun enters Aries in the sidereal zodiac.

16 Apr 2019: Venus enters Pisces in the sidereal zodiac.

17 Apr 2019: Mercury enters Aries in the tropical zodiac.

19 Apr 2019: full Moon.

20 Apr 2019: Sun enters Taurus in the tropical zodiac.

20 Apr 2019: Venus enters Aries in the tropical zodiac.

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.
