Where everything is

The Moon is new, invisible beside the Sun; the tradition reads it as the quiet start of a lunar month.

Sun is at 5°11′ Virgo in the tropical zodiac, 11° Leo in the sidereal, gate 59 line 6 in Human Design. The tradition associates Sun with authority, health and where one stands on one's own account.

Moon is at 18°30′ Virgo in the tropical zodiac, 24°20′ Leo in the sidereal, gate 47 line 2 in Human Design. The tradition associates Moon with mood, appetite and what is needed rather than wanted.

Mercury is at 2°23′ Libra in the tropical zodiac, 8°13′ Virgo in the sidereal, gate 46 line 5 in Human Design. The tradition associates Mercury with talking, writing, negotiating and the paperwork nobody enjoys.

Venus is at 20°32′ Leo in the tropical zodiac, 26°22′ Cancer in the sidereal, gate 4 line 2 in Human Design. The tradition associates Venus with relationship, comfort, money and taste.

Mars is at 4°39′ Gemini in the tropical zodiac, 10°29′ Taurus in the sidereal, gate 20 line 5 in Human Design. The tradition associates Mars with effort, friction and the willingness to force a thing through.

Jupiter is at 7°13′ Aries in the tropical zodiac, 13°03′ Pisces in the sidereal, gate 17 line 4 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 20°53′ Aquarius in the tropical zodiac, 26°43′ Capricorn in the sidereal, gate 49 line 3 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 18°55′ Taurus in the tropical zodiac, 24°44′ Aries in the sidereal, gate 23 line 1 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 Uranus with the sudden, the unconventional and the break with what was.

Neptune is at 24°33′ Pisces in the tropical zodiac, 0°23′ Pisces in the sidereal, gate 36 line 3 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 26°30′ Capricorn in the tropical zodiac, 2°20′ Capricorn in the sidereal, gate 60 line 1 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 15°55′ Taurus in the tropical zodiac, 21°45′ Aries in the sidereal, gate 2 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 59, sexuality, 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 47, realisation, line 2, the Hermit line, and moves on within hours. Each gate has its own page in the library: gate 59 and gate 47.

The Moon's line changes, 28 August 2022, 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

Venus opposition Saturn, 0.3° from exact and opening: the two facing each other, and the pull to choose.

Moon trine Uranus, 0.4° from exact and closing: an ease between the two that can go unused.

Sun square Mars, 0.5° from exact and opening: friction between the two, which is where the work is.

Venus square Uranus, 1.6° from exact and opening: friction between the two, which is where the work is.

Neptune sextile Pluto, 1.9° from exact and opening: an easy opening between the two.

Saturn square Uranus, 2.0° 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.

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.
