So, when we talk about the planets placed in the various zodiac signs, we mean as we see from the Earth - Saturn at the top is in the sign Aries, Moon is in Gemini, Jupiter in Aquarius, Mercury in Scorpio, Venus in Capricorn and Mars in Virgo. Also note that it is the 14th lunar phase in the bright half, very close to full moon, so the sun and the moon are in opposite directions vis--vis the earth.
