The week’s weightiest exact aspect is Mars opposite Pluto on Saturday, October 3 at 10:38 UTC; astrologers read an opposition as a pull between two sides that asks for balance.

The Moon is void of course from its last exact major aspect (conjunction, sextile, square, trine or opposition) to the Sun or a planet from Mercury to Pluto until it enters the next sign. If it makes no aspect in the whole sign, its entire stay there is void.

How this is computed
Every time here is searched from the bodies’ geocentric apparent ecliptic longitudes (tropical zodiac) with the astronomy-engine ephemeris, the same engine that computes birth charts on this site. Aspects and sign changes are exact to the minute: the instant the angle between two planets is 0°, 60°, 90°, 120° or 180°, or the planet crosses a sign boundary. Stations, where a planet appears to stand still, are good to within a few minutes. The week runs Monday 00:00 UTC to Sunday 23:59 UTC, and the page refreshes at least every 15 minutes. It describes the sky; it does not predict events.
