Where everything is

The Moon is waning gibbous, past full and rising later each night.

Sun is at 24°16′ Taurus in the tropical zodiac, 29°54′ Aries in the sidereal, gate 23 line 6 in Human Design. The tradition associates Sun with authority, health and where one stands on one's own account.

Moon is at 12°13′ Capricorn in the tropical zodiac, 17°50′ Sagittarius in the sidereal, gate 38 line 3 in Human Design. The tradition associates Moon with mood, appetite and what is needed rather than wanted.

Mercury is at 9°22′ Taurus in the tropical zodiac, 14°59′ Aries in the sidereal, gate 24 line 2 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 16°50′ Gemini in the tropical zodiac, 22°29′ Taurus in the sidereal, gate 35 line 6 in Human Design, and retrograde; a Venus retrograde is read as a review of what is valued and who. The tradition associates Venus with relationship, comfort, money and taste.

Mars is at 7°48′ Cancer in the tropical zodiac, 13°26′ Gemini in the sidereal, gate 52 line 5 in Human Design. The tradition associates Mars with effort, friction and the willingness to force a thing through.

Jupiter is at 1°08′ Gemini in the tropical zodiac, 6°47′ Taurus in the sidereal, gate 20 line 2 in Human Design. The tradition associates Jupiter with growth, teaching and the widening of things.

Saturn is at 13°12′ Leo in the tropical zodiac, 18°50′ Cancer in the sidereal, gate 33 line 6 in Human Design. The tradition associates Saturn with structure, limit, work and time.

Uranus is at 12°21′ Cancer in the tropical zodiac, 17°59′ Gemini in the sidereal, gate 39 line 4 in Human Design. The tradition associates Uranus with the sudden, the unconventional and the break with what was.

Neptune is at 25°25′ Aries in the tropical zodiac, 1°03′ Aries in the sidereal, gate 42 line 5 in Human Design. The tradition associates Neptune with what is blurred, longed for and dissolved.

Pluto is at 21°19′ Aquarius in the tropical zodiac, 26°56′ Capricorn in the sidereal, gate 49 line 3 in Human Design. The tradition associates Pluto with what is buried, and what is forced up.

Rahu is at 21°07′ Leo in the tropical zodiac, 26°45′ Cancer in the sidereal, gate 4 line 3 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 23, assimilation, line 6, the Role Model line: the gate the whole day is read through, and the line it sits on. The Moon is in gate 38, the fighter, line 3, the Martyr line, and moves on within hours. Each gate has its own page in the library: gate 23 and gate 38.

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

Moon opposition Uranus, 0.1° from exact and opening: the two facing each other, and the pull to choose.

Pluto opposition Rahu, 0.2° from exact and opening: the two facing each other, and the pull to choose.

Mercury sextile Mars, 1.6° 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 24.36 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.

What turns in the next thirty days

14 May 2036: Sun enters Taurus in the sidereal zodiac.

17 May 2036: Mercury turns direct. The tradition reads a station direct as the body's business resuming.

20 May 2036: Sun enters Gemini in the tropical zodiac.

21 May 2036: Pluto turns retrograde. An outer planet is retrograde for months at a time; the tradition reads it as the theme turned inward.

26 May 2036: new Moon.

07 Jun 2036: Mercury enters Taurus in the sidereal zodiac.

09 Jun 2036: full Moon.

10 Jun 2036: Mars enters Cancer in the sidereal zodiac.

11 Jun 2036: Mercury enters Gemini in the tropical zodiac.

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.
