The sky on 24 September 2028

Where everything is, in the tropical zodiac Western astrology uses and the sidereal zodiac Vedic astrology uses, with the Human Design gate each body sits in, and what turns in the next thirty days.

Where everything is

The Moon is at first quarter, half lit and growing.

Sun is at 1°58′ Libra in the tropical zodiac, 7°43′ Virgo in the sidereal, gate 46 line 4 in Human Design. The tradition associates Sun with authority, health and where one stands on one's own account.

Moon is at 19°23′ Sagittarius in the tropical zodiac, 25°08′ Scorpio in the sidereal, gate 26 line 3 in Human Design. The tradition associates Moon with mood, appetite and what is needed rather than wanted.

Mercury is at 17°16′ Libra in the tropical zodiac, 23°01′ Virgo in the sidereal, gate 57 line 3 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 20°49′ Leo in the tropical zodiac, 26°34′ Cancer in the sidereal, gate 4 line 3 in Human Design. The tradition associates Venus with relationship, comfort, money and taste.

Mars is at 12°25′ Leo in the tropical zodiac, 18°09′ Cancer in the sidereal, gate 33 line 6 in Human Design. The tradition associates Mars with effort, friction and the willingness to force a thing through.

Jupiter is at 6°35′ Libra in the tropical zodiac, 12°20′ Virgo in the sidereal, gate 18 line 3 in Human Design. The tradition associates Jupiter with growth, teaching and the widening of things.

Saturn is at 10°25′ Taurus in the tropical zodiac, 16°09′ Aries in the sidereal, gate 24 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 14°14′ Gemini in the tropical zodiac, 19°58′ Taurus in the sidereal, gate 35 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. The tradition associates Uranus with the sudden, the unconventional and the break with what was.

Neptune is at 7°38′ Aries in the tropical zodiac, 13°23′ Pisces in the sidereal, gate 17 line 5 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 6°33′ Aquarius in the tropical zodiac, 12°17′ Capricorn in the sidereal, gate 41 line 5 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 20°19′ Capricorn in the tropical zodiac, 26°04′ Sagittarius in the sidereal, gate 54 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 46, the determination of the self, line 4, the Opportunist line: the gate the whole day is read through, and the line it sits on. The Moon is in gate 26, the egoist, line 3, the Martyr line, and moves on within hours. Each gate has its own page in the library: gate 46 and gate 26.

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

Jupiter trine Pluto, 0.0° from exact and opening: an ease between the two that can go unused.

Jupiter opposition Neptune, 1.1° from exact and closing: the two facing each other, and the pull to choose.

Neptune sextile Pluto, 1.1° from exact and closing: an easy opening between the two.

Mars sextile Uranus, 1.8° from exact and closing: an easy opening between the two.

Mars square Saturn, 2.0° from exact and opening: 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 24.26 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.
