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.
T-Squares
A T-Square signals a source of stress and drive, compelling you toward growth through challenge and conflict resolution. It’s calculated by two planets in direct opposition (180° apart) that each form a square (90°) to a third planet or point.

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.
Balsamic
The Moon is in its Balsamic phase, with an illumination of 1.45%. 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 New Moon is on January 18, 2026 at 2:52 PM EST and the next Full Moon is on February 1, 2026 at 5:10 PM EST.

Capricorn
The Moon is transiting through Capricorn at 14°24'. The Moon in Capricorn brings a serious and focused mood. People may feel more responsible and want to work toward goals or make plans that give them a strong foundation.

Moon Distance
The Moon is 398,978.6 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.

Moon Brightness
The magnitude (brightness) of the moon is -7.96. 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.

Moon Angular Radius
The apparent angular radius of the moon is 0.25° (or 14.99 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.
