Where everything is
The Moon is waning gibbous, past full and rising later each night.
Sun is at 2°25′ Taurus in the tropical zodiac, 8°08′ Aries in the sidereal, gate 27 line 1 in Human Design. The tradition associates Sun with authority, health and where one stands on one's own account.
Moon is at 3°02′ Capricorn in the tropical zodiac, 8°45′ Sagittarius in the sidereal, gate 10 line 6 in Human Design. The tradition associates Moon with mood, appetite and what is needed rather than wanted.
Mercury is at 4°01′ Taurus in the tropical zodiac, 9°44′ Aries in the sidereal, gate 27 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 18°54′ Pisces in the tropical zodiac, 24°37′ Aquarius in the sidereal, gate 22 line 3 in Human Design. The tradition associates Venus with relationship, comfort, money and taste.
Mars is at 10°34′ Taurus in the tropical zodiac, 16°17′ Aries in the sidereal, gate 24 line 4 in Human Design. The tradition associates Mars with effort, friction and the willingness to force a thing through.
Jupiter is at 25°18′ Scorpio in the tropical zodiac, 1°01′ Scorpio in the sidereal, gate 14 line 1 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 24°56′ Taurus in the tropical zodiac, 0°39′ Taurus in the sidereal, gate 8 line 1 in Human Design. The tradition associates Saturn with structure, limit, work and time.
Uranus is at 16°02′ Gemini in the tropical zodiac, 21°45′ Taurus in the sidereal, gate 35 line 5 in Human Design. The tradition associates Uranus with the sudden, the unconventional and the break with what was.
Neptune is at 11°37′ Aries in the tropical zodiac, 17°20′ Pisces in the sidereal, gate 21 line 3 in Human Design. The tradition associates Neptune with what is blurred, longed for and dissolved.
Pluto is at 11°58′ Aquarius in the tropical zodiac, 17°41′ Capricorn in the sidereal, gate 19 line 5 in Human Design. The tradition associates Pluto with what is buried, and what is forced up.
Rahu is at 17°13′ Sagittarius in the tropical zodiac, 22°56′ Scorpio in the sidereal, gate 26 line 1 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 27, caring, line 1, the Investigator 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 6, the Role Model line, and moves on within hours. Each gate has its own page in the library: gate 27 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
Neptune sextile Pluto, 0.3° from exact and closing: an easy opening between the two.
Jupiter opposition Saturn, 0.4° from exact and closing: the two facing each other, and the pull to choose.
Sun trine Moon, 0.6° from exact and opening: an ease between the two that can go unused.
Moon trine Mercury, 1.0° from exact and closing: an ease between the two that can go unused.
Uranus opposition Rahu, 1.2° from exact and closing: the two facing each other, and the pull to choose.
Mars square Pluto, 1.4° from exact and closing: friction between the two, which is where the work is.
Sun conjunction Mercury, 1.6° from exact and closing: the two acting as one.
Venus square Rahu, 1.7° 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 24.28 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.
