Patterns

Certain planets are aligning into distinct aspect patterns. These configurations spotlight the key themes and energy flows at play, showing which astrological influences are the most powerful at this moment.

Stelliums

A Stellium occurs when three or more planets cluster within a 10° orb in a single sign or house, creating a powerful focus of energy. This pattern amplifies the qualities of the involved sign or house, indicating a strong emphasis on that area of life.

Moon

As the Moon moves through different zodiac signs, it guides our daily emotions and gut reactions. The sign it’s in shows how we care for ourselves and others and shapes how we respond to what happens around us.

The Moon is in its New phase, with an illumination of 1.72%. The Moon's phase results from how the Earth, Moon, and Sun align. Each phase has its own astrological significance and influences how we experience emotions and energies. The next Full Moon is on May 1, 2026 at 1:24 PM EDT and the next New Moon is on May 16, 2026 at 4:01 PM EDT.

The Moon is transiting through Taurus at 12°48'. The Moon in Taurus brings a calm and steady feeling. People may want comfort, good food, and cozy surroundings, and they often enjoy slowing down and feeling secure.

The Moon is 362,089.3 km away from Earth. This distance represents the current separation between the Earth's center and the Moon's center, which varies throughout the lunar orbit as the moon follows an elliptical rather than circular path.

The magnitude (brightness) of the moon is -8.35. This is a measurement of the Moon's visual brightness as seen from Earth, where lower (more negative) numbers represent brighter objects. It varies throughout the lunar cycle, reaching a maximum (around -12.7) during a Full Moon.

The apparent angular radius of the moon is 0.28° (or 16.54 arcminutes) when viewed from the earth. This measurement describes how large the moon looks against the sky, expressed as an angle rather than a physical size.

House Cusps

The house cusp positions show where each of the twelve houses begins, marking their exact zodiac sign and degree. These cusps define the boundaries between houses, with each house governing a specific area of life.
