These are the usual tropical Sun-sign dates; the Sun's exact entry can vary near a boundary. Traditional rulers are shown here; some modern traditions also associate Scorpio with Pluto, Aquarius with Uranus and Pisces with Neptune.
For Virgo, the whole of Virgo is house 1; Libra is house 2 and Leo is house 12. The same counting places each real planetary position into a house. Exact aspects are measured angles between transiting bodies, without a birth chart.
The focus uses the tightest exact Moon aspect, measured by its orb at the local day's midpoint, and names the other planet's house theme. Ties use the earliest time. With no exact Moon aspect, it uses the Moon's house. The column includes up to four exact aspects, with both houses measured at each event. Lunations appear within one local calendar day of a new or full moon.
