Where everything is

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

Sun is at 28°53′ Taurus in the tropical zodiac, 4°27′ Taurus in the sidereal, gate 8 line 5 in Human Design. The tradition associates Sun with authority, health and where one stands on one's own account.

Moon is at 13°19′ Capricorn in the tropical zodiac, 18°53′ Sagittarius in the sidereal, gate 38 line 5 in Human Design. The tradition associates Moon with mood, appetite and what is needed rather than wanted.

Mercury is at 18°26′ Gemini in the tropical zodiac, 23°59′ Taurus in the sidereal, gate 45 line 2 in Human Design. The tradition associates Mercury with talking, writing, negotiating and the paperwork nobody enjoys.

Venus is at 13°13′ Aries in the tropical zodiac, 18°47′ Pisces in the sidereal, gate 21 line 4 in Human Design. The tradition associates Venus with relationship, comfort, money and taste.

Mars is at 24°30′ Aries in the tropical zodiac, 0°04′ Aries in the sidereal, gate 42 line 4 in Human Design. The tradition associates Mars with effort, friction and the willingness to force a thing through.

Jupiter is at 23°09′ Libra in the tropical zodiac, 28°43′ Virgo in the sidereal, gate 32 line 3 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 18°30′ Libra in the tropical zodiac, 24°04′ Virgo in the sidereal, gate 57 line 4 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 4°36′ Leo in the tropical zodiac, 10°10′ Cancer in the sidereal, gate 31 line 3 in Human Design. The tradition associates Uranus with the sudden, the unconventional and the break with what was.

Neptune is at 6°26′ Taurus in the tropical zodiac, 11°59′ Aries in the sidereal, gate 27 line 5 in Human Design. The tradition associates Neptune with what is blurred, longed for and dissolved.

Pluto is at 28°31′ Aquarius in the tropical zodiac, 4°05′ Aquarius in the sidereal, gate 30 line 5 in Human Design. The tradition associates Pluto with what is buried, and what is forced up.

Rahu is at 15°15′ Taurus in the tropical zodiac, 20°49′ Aries in the sidereal, gate 2 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 8, contribution, line 5, the Heretic line: the gate the whole day is read through, and the line it sits on. The Moon is in gate 38, the fighter, line 5, the Heretic line, and moves on within hours. Each gate has its own page in the library: gate 8 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

Mercury trine Saturn, 0.1° from exact and opening: an ease between the two that can go unused.

Moon square Venus, 0.1° from exact and opening: friction between the two, which is where the work is.

Sun square Pluto, 0.4° from exact and opening: friction between the two, which is where the work is.

Mars opposition Jupiter, 1.4° from exact and opening: the two facing each other, and the pull to choose.

Uranus square Neptune, 1.8° 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 24.43 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

20 May 2041: Sun enters Gemini in the tropical zodiac.

24 May 2041: Mercury turns retrograde. A Mercury retrograde is read as a fortnight or so of things going back for a second look: messages, plans, paperwork.

27 May 2041: Mars enters Taurus in the tropical zodiac.

29 May 2041: Pluto turns retrograde. An outer planet is retrograde for months at a time; the tradition reads it as the theme turned inward.

30 May 2041: new Moon.

31 May 2041: Venus enters Aries in the sidereal zodiac.

06 Jun 2041: Venus enters Taurus in the tropical zodiac.

14 Jun 2041: full Moon.

15 Jun 2041: Sun enters Gemini in the sidereal zodiac.

17 Jun 2041: Mercury turns direct. The tradition reads a station direct as the body's business resuming.

18 Jun 2041: Jupiter turns direct. The tradition reads a station direct as the body's business resuming.

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.
