Sun and MoonMercuryVenusSaturnNeptunePluto
The Moon and the Sun stand together around midday. Mercury, Venus, Saturn, Neptune and Pluto are up with them.New moon 17°18′ CapricornA 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 21°01′ CapricornMercury governs the moving parts: words, ideas, short trips, transactions. How you think out loud, how you listen, what holds your attention.Venus 0°30′ SagittariusVenus 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 8°37′ 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.Neptune 1°48′ 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 4°33′ 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.
