Saturn is at 14°44′ Aries in the tropical zodiac, 20°31′ Pisces in the sidereal, gate 21 line 6 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 4°56′ Gemini in the tropical zodiac, 10°42′ Taurus in the sidereal, gate 20 line 6 in Human Design. The tradition associates Uranus with the sudden, the unconventional and the break with what was.
Neptune is at 4°17′ Aries in the tropical zodiac, 10°04′ Pisces in the sidereal, gate 17 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 Neptune with what is blurred, longed for and dissolved.
Pluto is at 4°14′ Aquarius in the tropical zodiac, 10°01′ Capricorn in the sidereal, gate 41 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.

In Human Design
The Sun is in gate 31, leading, line 5, the Heretic line: the gate the whole day is read through, and the line it sits on. The Moon is in gate 41, contraction, line 4, the Opportunist line, and moves on within hours. Each gate has its own page in the library: gate 31 and gate 41.
The Moon's line changes, 29 July 2026, UTC

| 20:30 | 19.3 | wanting |
| 22:20 | 19.4 | wanting |
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
Sun conjunction Jupiter, 0.0° from exact and opening: the two acting as one.
Neptune sextile Pluto, 0.1° from exact and opening: an easy opening between the two.
Venus square Mars, 0.1° from exact and opening: friction between the two, which is where the work is.
Moon trine Uranus, 0.3° from exact and opening: an ease between the two that can go unused.
Uranus sextile Neptune, 0.6° from exact and opening: an easy opening between the two.
Uranus trine Pluto, 0.7° from exact and opening: an ease between the two that can go unused.
Moon sextile Neptune, 0.9° from exact and opening: an easy opening between the two.
Moon conjunction Pluto, 0.9° from exact and opening: the two acting as one.
Sun sextile Uranus, 1.5° from exact and opening: an easy opening between the two.
Jupiter sextile Uranus, 1.5° 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 24.23 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.
