Where everything is
The Moon is a waning crescent, a thin morning Moon.
Sun is at 20°58′ Aquarius in the tropical zodiac, 26°48′ Capricorn in the sidereal, gate 49 line 3 in Human Design. The tradition associates Sun with authority, health and where one stands on one's own account.
Moon is at 22°26′ Capricorn in the tropical zodiac, 28°17′ Sagittarius in the sidereal, gate 61 line 2 in Human Design. The tradition associates Moon with mood, appetite and what is needed rather than wanted.
Mercury is at 18°55′ Aquarius in the tropical zodiac, 24°46′ Capricorn in the sidereal, gate 49 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 9°55′ Aquarius in the tropical zodiac, 15°46′ Capricorn in the sidereal, gate 19 line 3 in Human Design. The tradition associates Venus with relationship, comfort, money and taste.
Mars is at 17°10′ Taurus in the tropical zodiac, 23°01′ Aries in the sidereal, gate 2 line 5 in Human Design. The tradition associates Mars with effort, friction and the willingness to force a thing through.
Jupiter is at 12°04′ Aquarius in the tropical zodiac, 17°55′ Capricorn in the sidereal, gate 19 line 5 in Human Design. The tradition associates Jupiter with growth, teaching and the widening of things.
Saturn is at 6°17′ Aquarius in the tropical zodiac, 12°07′ Capricorn in the sidereal, gate 41 line 5 in Human Design. The tradition associates Saturn with structure, limit, work and time.
Uranus is at 7°01′ Taurus in the tropical zodiac, 12°52′ Aries in the sidereal, gate 27 line 6 in Human Design. The tradition associates Uranus with the sudden, the unconventional and the break with what was.
Neptune is at 19°33′ Pisces in the tropical zodiac, 25°24′ Aquarius in the sidereal, gate 22 line 3 in Human Design. The tradition associates Neptune with what is blurred, longed for and dissolved.
Pluto is at 25°29′ Capricorn in the tropical zodiac, 1°20′ Capricorn in the sidereal, gate 61 line 6 in Human Design. The tradition associates Pluto with what is buried, and what is forced up.
Rahu is at 18°05′ Gemini in the tropical zodiac, 23°56′ Taurus in the sidereal, gate 45 line 2 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 49, principles, line 3, the Martyr line: the gate the whole day is read through, and the line it sits on. The Moon is in gate 61, mystery, line 2, the Hermit line, and moves on within hours. Each gate has its own page in the library: gate 49 and gate 61.
The Moon's line changes, 9 February 2021, UTC
| 00:50 | 54.2 | ambition |
| 02:28 | 54.3 | ambition |
| 04:06 | 54.4 | ambition |
| 05:46 | 54.5 | ambition |
| 07:24 | 54.6 | ambition |

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
Saturn square Uranus, 0.7° from exact and closing: friction between the two, which is where the work is.
Mercury trine Rahu, 0.8° from exact and closing: an ease between the two that can go unused.
Neptune square Rahu, 1.5° from exact and opening: friction between the two, which is where the work is.
Mercury square Mars, 1.8° from exact and closing: friction between the two, which is where the work is.
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 24.15 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.
