Uranus is at 3°47′ Gemini in the tropical zodiac, 9°33′ Taurus in the sidereal, gate 20 line 4 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 34, power, line 2, the Hermit line: the gate the whole day is read through, and the line it sits on. The Moon is in gate 2, the direction of the self, line 3, the Martyr line, and moves on within hours. Each gate has its own page in the library: gate 34 and gate 2.

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 trine Rahu, 0.1° from exact and opening: an ease between the two that can go unused.
Uranus trine Pluto, 0.4° from exact and closing: an ease between the two that can go unused.
Sun trine Neptune, 0.5° from exact and closing: an ease between the two that can go unused.
Neptune sextile Pluto, 1.7° from exact and opening: an easy opening between the two.
Jupiter opposition Rahu, 1.8° from exact and opening: the two facing each other, and the pull to choose.
Venus sextile Jupiter, 1.8° from exact and closing: 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.
