Where everything is

The Moon is waxing gibbous, nearly full.

Sun is at 26°48′ Leo in the tropical zodiac, 2°32′ Leo in the sidereal, gate 29 line 3 in Human Design. The tradition associates Sun with authority, health and where one stands on one's own account.

Moon is at 1°32′ Capricorn in the tropical zodiac, 7°16′ Sagittarius in the sidereal, gate 10 line 4 in Human Design. The tradition associates Moon with mood, appetite and what is needed rather than wanted.

Mercury is at 24°09′ Virgo in the tropical zodiac, 29°53′ Leo in the sidereal, gate 6 line 2 in Human Design. The tradition associates Mercury with talking, writing, negotiating and the paperwork nobody enjoys.

Venus is at 4°28′ Libra in the tropical zodiac, 10°11′ Virgo in the sidereal, gate 18 line 1 in Human Design. The tradition associates Venus with relationship, comfort, money and taste.

Mars is at 7°10′ Scorpio in the tropical zodiac, 12°53′ Libra in the sidereal, gate 28 line 6 in Human Design. The tradition associates Mars with effort, friction and the willingness to force a thing through.

Jupiter is at 23°24′ Libra in the tropical zodiac, 29°08′ Virgo in the sidereal, gate 32 line 3 in Human Design. The tradition associates Jupiter with growth, teaching and the widening of things.

Saturn is at 24°44′ Taurus in the tropical zodiac, 0°28′ Taurus in the sidereal, gate 8 line 1 in Human Design. The tradition associates Saturn with structure, limit, work and time.

Uranus is at 18°02′ Gemini in the tropical zodiac, 23°46′ Taurus in the sidereal, gate 45 line 2 in Human Design. The tradition associates Uranus with the sudden, the unconventional and the break with what was.

Neptune is at 10°48′ Aries in the tropical zodiac, 16°32′ Pisces in the sidereal, gate 21 line 2 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 8°50′ Aquarius in the tropical zodiac, 14°34′ Capricorn in the sidereal, gate 19 line 2 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 3°30′ Capricorn in the tropical zodiac, 9°14′ Sagittarius in the sidereal, gate 10 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 29, saying yes, line 3, the Martyr line: the gate the whole day is read through, and the line it sits on. The Moon is in gate 10, the behaviour of the self, line 4, the Opportunist line, and moves on within hours. Each gate has its own page in the library: gate 29 and gate 10.

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

Mercury trine Saturn, 0.6° from exact and closing: an ease between the two that can go unused.

Venus square Rahu, 1.0° from exact and opening: friction between the two, which is where the work is.

Mars square Pluto, 1.7° from exact and closing: friction between the two, which is where the work is.

Neptune sextile Pluto, 2.0° 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 24.27 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.
