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.

Saturn in Aries (14°11′)
Venus in Libra (14°24′)
Mars in Cancer (6°49′)

Uranus in Gemini (5°31′)
Ascendant in Sagittarius (1°40′)
Sun in Leo (28°42′)

Yods

A Yod forms when two planets in sextile (60° apart) both make quincunx angles (150°) to a third planet or point, creating a triangle. This powerful formation highlights a karmic pivot or life-calling that demands ongoing adjustment

Neptune in Aries (3°54′)
Sun in Leo (28°42′)
Pluto in Aquarius (3°42′)

Mars in Cancer (6°49′)
Ascendant in Sagittarius (1°40′)
Pluto in Aquarius (3°42′)

Kites

A Kite pattern emerges when a fourth planet opposes one point of a Grand Trine while forming sextiles (60° aspects) with the other two points, creating a kite-shaped configuration. This "focused trine" harnesses the natural talents and harmonious flow of the Grand Trine while the opposition provides direction and purpose.

Jupiter in Leo (11°30′)
Venus in Libra (14°24′)
Moon in Sagittarius (16°43′)

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 First Quarter phase, with an illumination of 65.51%. 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 August 28, 2026 at 12:19 AM EDT and the next New Moon is on September 10, 2026 at 11:27 PM EDT.

The Moon is transiting through Sagittarius at 16°43'. When the Moon is in Sagittarius, there’s a feeling of excitement and adventure. People often feel more positive, eager to learn, and open to exploring new places or ideas.

The Moon is 404,430.2 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 -12.07. 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 0.25° (or 14.78 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.
