Where everything is
The Moon is waning gibbous, past full and rising later each night.
Sun is at 1°25′ Aquarius in the tropical zodiac, 7°15′ Capricorn in the sidereal, gate 60 line 6 in Human Design. The tradition associates Sun with authority, health and where one stands on one's own account.
Moon is at 11°38′ Virgo in the tropical zodiac, 17°28′ Leo in the sidereal, gate 64 line 1 in Human Design. The tradition associates Moon with mood, appetite and what is needed rather than wanted.
Mercury is at 5°47′ Aquarius in the tropical zodiac, 11°37′ Capricorn in the sidereal, gate 41 line 5 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 12°22′ Capricorn in the tropical zodiac, 18°11′ Sagittarius in the sidereal, gate 38 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 27°48′ Sagittarius in the tropical zodiac, 3°38′ Sagittarius in the sidereal, gate 11 line 6 in Human Design. The tradition associates Mars with effort, friction and the willingness to force a thing through.
Jupiter is at 4°50′ Pisces in the tropical zodiac, 10°40′ Aquarius in the sidereal, gate 55 line 6 in Human Design. The tradition associates Jupiter with growth, teaching and the widening of things.
Saturn is at 14°14′ Aquarius in the tropical zodiac, 20°04′ Capricorn in the sidereal, gate 13 line 2 in Human Design. The tradition associates Saturn with structure, limit, work and time.
Uranus is at 10°49′ Taurus in the tropical zodiac, 16°40′ Aries in the sidereal, gate 24 line 4 in Human Design. The tradition associates Uranus with the sudden, the unconventional and the break with what was.
Neptune is at 21°08′ Pisces in the tropical zodiac, 26°58′ Aquarius in the sidereal, gate 22 line 5 in Human Design. The tradition associates Neptune with what is blurred, longed for and dissolved.
Pluto is at 26°37′ Capricorn in the tropical zodiac, 2°26′ Capricorn in the sidereal, gate 60 line 1 in Human Design. The tradition associates Pluto with what is buried, and what is forced up.
Rahu is at 29°30′ Taurus in the tropical zodiac, 5°20′ Taurus in the sidereal, gate 8 line 6 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 60, acceptance, line 6, the Role Model line: the gate the whole day is read through, and the line it sits on. The Moon is in gate 64, confusion, line 1, the Investigator line, and moves on within hours. Each gate has its own page in the library: gate 60 and gate 64.
The Moon's line changes, 21 January 2022, UTC
| 00:56 | 40.1 | aloneness |
| 02:42 | 40.2 | aloneness |
| 04:28 | 40.3 | aloneness |
| 06:14 | 40.4 | aloneness |
| 08:00 | 40.5 | aloneness |

| 15:02 | 64.3 | confusion |
| 16:48 | 64.4 | confusion |
| 18:32 | 64.5 | confusion |

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
Moon trine Venus, 0.7° from exact and closing: an ease between the two that can go unused.
Moon trine Uranus, 0.8° from exact and opening: an ease between the two that can go unused.
Venus trine Uranus, 1.5° from exact and closing: an ease between the two that can go unused.
Sun trine Rahu, 1.9° 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 24.16 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.
