Sun and MoonMercuryVenusSaturnUranusNeptunePluto
The Moon and the Sun stand together around midday. Mercury, Venus, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto are up with them.New moon 16°57′ AriesA new moon is the start of a lunar cycle — the sky goes dark, the seed gets planted. Good for intention-setting and quiet beginnings. Whatever you start in this window will keep unfolding for two weeks toward the full moon.Mercury 26°43′ PiscesMercury governs the moving parts: words, ideas, short trips, transactions. How you think out loud, how you listen, what holds your attention.Venus 14°03′ PiscesVenus rules love, taste, money, and pleasure. What you find beautiful, who you reach for, how you receive. Less about romance per se and more about what you let in.Saturn 17°34′ AriesSaturn is structure, discipline, time. Where you build slowly. Often felt as a hard teacher early in life and a wise one later. The placement describes the ladder you are quietly climbing.Uranus 3°03′ GeminiUranus is the lightning bolt — sudden change, rebellion, the urge to break whatever has become too small. Where it sits in your chart is where you refuse to follow the script.Neptune 4°34′ AriesNeptune dissolves edges — dreams, imagination, longing, fog. Where it touches your chart, things blur: inspiring at best, confusing at worst. It asks you to feel your way rather than think your way.Pluto 6°56′ AquariusPluto works underground — power, obsession, death-and-rebirth cycles. It moves slowly and changes things permanently. Where it sits is where life keeps composting you into someone new.
