Weekly Summary: JULY 13 - JULY 19 "Can I see another's woe,
And not be in sorrow too.
Can I see another's grief,
And not seek for kind relief."—William Blake,
Songs of Innocence and of ExperienceMercury slows down to station retrograde this week (on Thursday), making an extended trine to Ceres and a quick sextile to Venus. Mercury and Ceres, working together, suggest a powerfully expansive and supportive atmosphere this week, encouraging positive action and 'life-giving' support. But Mercury, stationing in Leo, brings some significant ego involvement into whatever solutions or assistance we want to apply to the challenges we see others facing. Mercury retrograde in Leo can encourage us to be rather unrealistic about the amount of power we actually have to change our own circumstances — let alone the circumstances that we can see others facing. The Mercury-Venus sextile, coming at the end of the week just after Mercury turns retrograde, suggests attempts to find compromise and at least some ability to talk through possible solutions. It is important to recognize that Ceres in Aries can produce a significant impatience factor if we don't see others doing everything they can to 'help themselves' — or effectively use the help that we are trying to offer. Ultimately, the lessons this week are more geared towards compassionately witnessing and empathetically acknowledging the circumstances of others — not impatiently trying to fix everything. The approach of Mars (ruling Ceres in Aries) to the South Node — a conjunction that will complete at the beginning of next week — increases the tendency to make impulsive attempts to find solutions to the challenges of others. The increasing impulsiveness suggests a tendency to try to do more than is reasonable or feasible. It is important to maintain a broad enough perspective to acknowledge the challenges that others are facing without overreacting to their pain and losing our own objectivity. The key is to develop understanding, compassion, and empathy without assuming that we, as individuals, actually have the 'real power' to impose solutions. Under the waning lunar cycle that was quietly punctuated by last Thursday's Capricorn Full Moon (1:36 PM PDT 18° Capricorn/Cancer), we continue to struggle to find 'footholds' to achieve the accomplishments that the Capricorn Moon's message seemed to encourage. The pressure to find quick solutions only intensify our frustration when we see that our offered solutions don't produce the results that we believe they should. The Sun's square to Chiron, at the end of the week, caps off this week's confusing challenges surrounding our ability to show empathy and compassion while maintaining our own individual perspective — and accepting the limitations of our individual power.
Activity is stirred up on Sunday but it isn't easy to access the information that we need. We feel the need to make preparations but aren't sure exactly what we should be preparing for. We likely have more power than we think we do on Monday. It is important to acknowledge the challenges that others are facing without overreacting to their pain. A significant release of emotion on Tuesday provides an opening that allows us to better understand the challenges that others are facing. We may find some increased patience but we aren't likely to find many real opportunities to actually make forward progress. We are more likely to look for some way to withdraw on Wednesday, instead of sorting through the choices that are presented to us. However, there are fewer complications than we may think. Thursday's atmosphere is quite unpredictable. We may be prone to overreach — believing that we have more power than we actually do. There seems to be a sincere interest in understanding how to find agreement and compromise on Friday. The seriousness in the atmosphere is actually quite reassuring. Finding specific solutions that provide quick resolutions is generally elusive on Saturday, creating vague impatience. The more that we focus on 'detailed solutions' the more impatient we become but when we focus on developing deeper connection, the resources and solutions will seem to surface spontaneously.

"Every day can be a good day"
This Daily Astrological Forecast is a bit different than most daily forecasts since it isn’t written for each individual Sun Sign. Rather, it is intended to be a bit like an Astrological Weather Report. To read more about this forecast, see this post
The Moon is VOC in Aquarius today until 4:44 PM PDT. Although activity is quite stirred up, we don't seem to be able to pull together enough information to clarify our 'course of action'. Once arriving in Pisces, the Moon quickly squares Uranus (5:15 PM PDT), likely stirring a great deal of confusion over the need to quickly make preparations without knowing exactly what we're 'heading in to'. Although our 'learning curve' seems to be getting steeper, the odds are actually pretty good that we'll eventually find the best and most meaningful solutions — 'have a little faith'.
Today's Pisces Moon offers more individual power than we may recognize. It is important to acknowledge the challenges that others are facing without overreacting to their pain. The Moon's early morning (6:45 AM PDT) trine to Jupiter encourages us to maintain a broad perspective today. The challenge here is getting trapped in 'sympathetic' emotions that actually blind us to possible solutions. The Moon's square to Venus, just before 1 PM PDT, suggests we may find ourselves feeling impatient when we aren't able to quickly resolve the challenges of others. A later (9:15 PM PDT) Moon-Mars opposition is likely to keep up the pressure to find quick solutions and intensify the frustration when any offered solutions don't produce satisfaction. There is more to learn about patience here than anything else.
This morning's Sun-Moon trine (10:09 AM PDT) offers a significant release of emotion, providing an opening that allows us to better understand the challenges that others are facing. Although we may lose sight of yesterday's impatience, we aren't likely to find many real opportunities to actually make forward progress. The Moon goes VOC after trining the Sun and won't arrive in Aries until this evening at 9:32 PM PDT. As the Sun aims towards a square to Chiron at the end of the week, we are beginning to better understand the value and importance of finding empathy for the challenges that others face without losing our own perspective. Today's ride may feel quite bumpy but does offer an important 'payoff'.
Despite the aggressive energy stirred by today's Aries Moon, we're prone to feeling quite unsteady today — uncertain about exactly how to handle yesterday's watershed of emotional release. The stationing Mercury adds to our sense of uncertainty but, in Leo, increases our ego involvement in finding the 'best' response to the unsteady environment. Mercury is in an extended trine to Ceres in Aries, encouraging us to recognize and deal with the needs of others. However, recognizing those needs is quite different than having the power to provide real solutions. Mercury is also sextiling Venus as it makes its station, encouraging us to look for better opportunities through some kind of compromise. Nonetheless, we are more likely to look for some way to withdraw today rather than sorting through the choices that are presented to us. There are fewer complications here than we may think.
Mercury turns retrograde today in a highly unpredictable atmosphere. We may be prone to overreach — believing that we have more power than we actually do. Today's increased courage and aggressiveness may very well produce some significant results. However, the sense of freedom that we feel here can also lead us into making some questionable decisions. As we move through the waning phase of the current lunar cycle, we have the opportunity to 'resurrect' some of the unusual, 'out of the box' thinking that was inspired at the Cancer New Moon (June 25th, 4° Cancer). However, next Thursday's Leo New Moon (12:10 PM PDT 2° Leo), in opposition to Pluto, trining Saturn and Neptune, and sextiling Uranus will begin to clarify the 'price tag' associated with our 'innovative' initiatives. The Moon goes VOC late this afternoon at 5:37 PM PDT, leaving us potentially quite impulsive.
The Moon arrives in Taurus just after midnight PDT this morning, ruled by Venus as it makes a sextile to the retrograding Mercury. This offers us a significant opportunity to slow down and dispense with much of the week's impatience and (mostly) confused attempts at empathy and caring. There seems to be a sincere interest in understanding how to find agreement and compromise here. The seriousness in today's atmosphere is actually quite reassuring. The Moon's sextile to Jupiter this afternoon increases an optimistic feeling that compromise and stronger connections are possible. Ultimately, today provides an amiable, social atmosphere and gracious benevolence.
The Sun's square to Chiron today caps off a week of confusing challenges surrounding our ability to show empathy and compassion. The ego challenges of Mercury's retrograde station in Leo are soothed by a trine to Ceres, which is encouraging us to continue to seek positive solutions. Nonetheless, Mars is approaching the Virgo South Node (completing tomorrow), which leaves us prone to impulsiveness and a tendency to try to do more than is reasonable or feasible. Finding specific solutions that provide quick resolutions is generally elusive, creating a vague impatience. However, the true lessons here are not really geared towards quick solutions but rather, deeper understanding and lasting compassion. The more that we focus on 'detailed solutions' the more impatient we become. But when we focus on developing deeper connection, the resources and solutions will seem to surface spontaneously.
Today is Sunday July 20, 2025
Weekly Summary: JULY 20 - JULY 26 "In order to carry a positive action we must develop here a positive vision."—Dalai LamaThe powerful shifts that are underway are unmistakable this week. Thursday's Leo New Moon (12:10 PM PDT 2° Leo) powerfully connects with Uranus (now) in Gemini, Pluto in Aquarius, and the Saturn/Neptune conjunction in Aries. This is Fire and Air, action-oriented, forceful will-power-driven, inspired intellectual determination. The intuitive elements of Gemini are also highlighted at the beginning of the week. The dual nature of Gemini does suggest that balancing between intellect and intuition creates challenges to offering a clear, complete message or a fully developed 'plan of action'. But Mercury's retrograde motion in Leo is encouraging us to balance our intellectual insights with the powerfully activated intuitive insights offered by the Saturn/Neptune conjunction — which is within 13 minutes of an exact conjunction at the beginning of this week. The Saturn-Neptune dynamic can sometimes stifle intuition but also offers extremely powerful capacities to translate our intuitive vision into tangible accomplishments. As Mercury moves retrograde in Leo, our intuitive abilities are given a confident 'mouthpiece' this week — especially once the Sun arrives in Leo on Tuesday — helping us to communicate what we intuitively see coming and what we want to do about it. The inferior Sun-Mercury conjunction, on July 31, will provide an extremely potent opportunity to show how well we have balanced the intuitive/intellectual elements and allow us to demonstrate our capabilities. Leo energy can sometimes become hampered by distracting ego-involvement and deep feelings of inadequacy. But this week's Leo New Moon, with Mercury retrograde in Leo, helps us set aside the usual ego demands of Leo, allowing us to make the most of the will-power, creativity, and determination of the Leo energy. Venus and Mars complete a rather contentious square on the day before the New Moon. Mars is emerging from a conjunction with the South Node this week, which has briefly drained some of our 'resolve to action'. The subsequent square from Venus certainly indicates chaos and confusion surrounding the information we're trying to use in order to enlist cooperative support for our plans, aims, and goals. But the square is still activating and, since the Moon is waning in light, the Venus-Mars square disruptions are likely short-lived. The retrograding Mercury in Leo is helping us to find our individual voice and, ruling Mars in Virgo and Venus in Gemini, is encouraging cooperation and compromise when common goals can be identified. Even so, the New Moon's opposition to Pluto won't allow us to escape the distinct Power Struggles between individuals and larger 'power structures' (e.g. government and major corporate entities). The power dynamics are certainly a major factor this week but the excited Fire/Air, electrified energy is full of determined, inspired, visionary activity that is offering us the ability to manifest an entirely new vision. Both the extraordinary challenge and the determined resolve are on display this week.
Intuition is highlighted on Sunday but needs to be balanced with increased intellectual activity. There are challenges to offering a clear, complete message or a fully developed 'plan of action'. There are some relationship disruptions on Monday. There is a sharp drop in what little support we might have had on Sunday for clearly communicating our insights, leaving us with conflicting ideas, confusing data, and drifting arguments. The Cancer Moon on Tuesday puts us in a highly materialistic frame of mind, encouraging us to seek safety rather than objectively assessing our position and our overall situation. Extraordinary caution is called for but the aspects suggest anything but (caution). We have helpful support for clearing away debris on Wednesday. There is likely quite a bit going on behind the scenes as well as in our subconscious. The individual, intellectual capacity to recognize and execute best actions is strikingly determined on Thursday. Endurance is extraordinary but can be undercut by tempting distractions. Although we may feel some distinct challenges on Friday, cooperation and compromise are encouraged when common goals can be identified. Our approach is generally 'forward looking'. We begin to see ways to 'hone' our individual message and pare away overblown rhetoric on Saturday. We can set our sights on getting to a clear set of facts, building solid evidence, and setting definitive goals.
Sunday July 20, 2025
Today's Gemini Moon highlights the intuitive capacity of Gemini. The Moon's conjunction with Uranus this morning (4:15 AM PDT) and subsequent trine to Pluto this evening (7:51 PM PDT) puts a bracket around the Moon's morning sextiles to Saturn and Neptune. The Saturn-Neptune conjunction won't fully 'complete' until next year but they within 13 minutes today. The Moon's activity today is helping us to see that an important 'marker' has been placed, defining the potent shifts that are underway. The Saturn-Neptune dynamic can sometimes stifle intuition but also offers extremely powerful capacities to translate our vision into tangible accomplishments. As Mercury moves retrograde in Leo, our intuitive abilities are given a confident 'mouthpiece' today, helping us to communicate what we believe that we can see coming — and what we want to do about it. Nonetheless, the dual nature of Gemini suggests that balancing between intellect and intuition creates challenges to offering a clear, complete message or a fully developed 'plan of action'.Monday July 21, 2025
The pleasantries of today's Moon-Venus conjunction (11:22 AM PDT) is disrupted by the follow-up square to Mars (12:55 PM PDT), highlighting the forming Venus-Mars square that will complete tomorrow and produce even more chaotic disruption. The Moon goes VOC following the square to Mars. There is a sharp drop in what little support we might have had yesterday for clearly communicating our insights, leaving us with conflicting ideas, confusing data, and drifting arguments. The retrograding Mercury only increases the confusion, adding an element of demonstrative distractions that are likely to stir up even more confusion.Tuesday July 22, 2025
The Moon arrives in Cancer less than an hour before the Sun shifts into Leo. The Leo Sun 'packs a wallop' as it sets off all of the 'outer planet' shifts that are underway — opposing Pluto, trining Saturn and Neptune, and sextiling Uranus. The Cancer Moon puts us in a highly materialistic frame of mind, encouraging us to seek safety rather than objectively assessing our position and our overall situation. The overall effect seems likely to put individual will power on full display, suggesting an intense setup for Thursday's upcoming Leo New Moon (12:10 PM PDT 2° Leo). Extraordinary caution is called for but today's aspects suggest anything but (caution). Heightened emotions stir the powerful Fire/Air combination to determined actions and extreme Power Plays.Wednesday July 23, 2025
The Moon wanes in light ahead of tomorrow's Leo New Moon (12:10 PM PDT 2° Leo), keeping us off balance with deep feelings of inadequacy and insecurity that is generally covered over with a healthy dose of 'bluff and bluster'. Nonetheless, there is likely quite a bit going on behind the scenes as well as in our subconscious. As Mars escapes the conjunction with the South Node, which occurred on Sunday, we are beginning to process a great deal of information and pare away what 'doesn't fit' or isn't helpful to our overall aims and goals. We do have some helpful support for clearing away unhelpful 'debris' by the Moon's sextile to Mars this afternoon (5:41 PM PDT), after which the Moon goes VOC. The evening's atmosphere is emotionally unsettled.Thursday July 24, 2025
The Moon gets to Leo this morning at 8:28 AM PDT this morning, shortly after the Sun's trine to Saturn (4:23 AM PDT). Surprisingly, today's Leo New Moon (12:10 PM PDT 2° Leo) seems to help us regain our footing rather quickly following yesterday's unsettled emotional unsteadiness. The strong will-power of Leo is bolstered by the Sun and Moon's trines to Saturn and Neptune. The New Moon's opposition to Pluto produces remarkable awareness of broader challenges but, in this environment, the individual, intellectual capacity to recognize and execute best actions is strikingly determined. Endurance is extraordinary here but can be undercut by tempting distractions. Nonetheless, the retrograding Mercury is actually helping us to clarify our individual determination. The process of clarification that begins under today's New Moon is quite powerful.Friday July 25, 2025
The Moon conjuncts Mercury early this morning (7:57 AM PDT) and then makes a trine to Ceres by 12:31 PM PDT this afternoon, which extends the powerful endurance and growing power of last week's Mercury-Ceres trine. Venus is still a bit 'beat up' as she emerges from Monday's Venus-Mars square but gets an optimistic boost from the Leo Moon. Today's Leo energy is forward looking and seems somewhat unrestricted by the usual ego demands of Leo, allowing us to make the most of the will-power, creativity, and determination of the Leo energy. The retrograding Mercury in Leo is helping us to find our individual voice and, ruling Mars in Virgo and Venus in Gemini, is encouraging cooperation and compromise when common goals can be identified.Saturday July 26, 2025
The Moon is VOC during the early part of the day today following the sextile to Venus at 4:01 AM PDT. Arriving in Virgo at 1:55 PM PDT, the Moon helps us begin to see ways to 'hone' our individual message and pare away overblown rhetoric. We can set our sights on getting to a clear set of facts, building solid evidence, and setting definitive goals. Nonetheless, the afternoon square to Uranus (3:19 PM PDT) keeps the Virgo Moon's 'feet to the fire' in terms of clarifying facts and allowing for differing interpretations of those 'facts'. There is bound to be a great deal of exposure today as we get down to the 'nitty gritty' details.
Weekly Summary: JULY 27 - AUGUST 2 "Who am I anyway?
Am I my resume?
That is a picture of a person I don't knowThe creative, individual self-expression of the Leo Sun drives a powerful 'will to action' this week. Nonetheless, last Thursday's Leo New Moon (12:10 PM PDT 2° Leo) was tightly connected to the broad, global shifts that are underway. As the Moon waxes in light, we are working extremely hard to find our individual voice within a much larger framework. The power struggles initiated at the New Moon seem to simmer in the background this week. As Mercury retrogrades back through the early degrees of Leo, our ability to use the mercurial energy as a powerful 'mouthpiece' for our individual self-will remains under revision. This week's challenges are centered on developing better understanding of who we are as individuals. Although we may feel that we're 'ready to go', our path is not yet clear even as the Leo desire to 'Think Big' propels us forward. Intuition and instinct provides the best sense of direction that we can expect this week. However, the Leo energy may encourage us to try to step in and 'Run The Show' but if we do, we are more likely to find ourselves with our 'hand stuck in the wheel'. Tuesday's Libra Moon suggests a foreshadowing of next week's Aquarius Full Moon (August 9 12:57 AM PDT 16° Aquarius/Leo) when Mars will create an extraordinary 'Kite' formation, opposing Saturn/Neptune while in a Grand Air Trine with Uranus and Pluto. The Moon's action this week is likely just a whisper — Mars will hit this spot much harder, longer and with more emphasis next week. Venus sextiles Chiron from Gemini early this week before establishing a comfortable repose in Cancer on Wednesday. Venus actually offers a great deal of charm and amiability this week after participating in the opening of 'old wounds' on Monday. Venus in Cancer seems to help us discover a kind of internal refuge from the broad, grand shifts that are underway. Even so, Venus squares the Saturn/Neptune conjunction on Friday, challenging our ability to stay positive and keep 'looking on the bright side'. Chiron stations retrograde in Aries on Wednesday, further confounding the Leo desire to demonstrate our individuality. Both Mercury and Chiron are pointing us towards further review instead of supporting definitive pronouncements that fully demonstrate who we really are. Nonetheless, the Sun-Mercury inferior conjunction on Thursday does begin to suggest an improving ability to show off our 'best' qualities even though our level of comfort, security, and confidence remains unsteady. There is an element of 'fake it till you make it' in the Sun-Mercury conjunction that at least seems to offer some productive optimism and a 'positive attitude'. By the end of the week, the Scorpio Moon encourages us to take off the Leo 'Mask' or 'slip off stage' for a quick break before returning to the 'Stage' to engage with next week's momentous Full Moon.
The optimism that we feel on Sunday isn't easy to communicate to those around us. This is quite a 'mystical', intense environment that is better handled with observation, discretion and circumspection. Monday's aggressive streak has the potential to open some 'old wounds'. Ultimately, there is a great deal of resolution offered if we can sustain at least of bit of faith and objectivity. We may hear a few 'whispers' of next week's Full Moon on Tuesday. There is a temptation to take chances but, win or lose, we need to be willing to accept the consequences and stay alert for further opportunities. Broadly, the mood seems rather amiable and perhaps a bit lazy or apathetic on Wednesday. It isn't easy to escape a feeling of aimlessness. There is an element of 'fake it till you make it' on Thursday that seems to offer some productive optimism or at least a 'positive attitude'. We have an opportunity to show off our 'best qualities'. We can begin to develop a capacity to find some 'internal refuge' on Friday. However, it is not an atmosphere where we can easily sidestep 'truth' and 'facts'. We need to navigate a 'blind corner' on Saturday, related to how much reliance we place on those around us. There is little inclination to open up enough to 'talk it through', although there is plenty of support to find resolutions if we can convince ourselves to share our concerns.
Sunday July 27, 2025
This morning's Moon-Jupiter sextile (9:56 AM PDT) sets us up to begin the day with a fair amount of optimism. Most of today's challenges come when we try to communicate that optimism to those around us. We'll do better to just 'enjoy the feeling' and avoid trying to describe too much of that feeling. The waxing Moon is likely to have us feeling 'ready to go' — but the path is not clear yet. As Mercury retrogrades back through Leo, there is a desire to 'Think Big'. With awareness, we may be able to recognize that there is an 'unseen hand' operating. In other words, larger forces are at play and our individual egos would like to 'run the show' but are more likely to find ourselves with our 'hand stuck in the wheel'. This is quite a 'mystical', intense environment that is better handled with observation, discretion and circumspection.Monday July 28, 2025
A Venus-Chiron sextile is punctuated today by the Moon's conjunction with Mars and a subsequent square to Venus late this afternoon (5:56 PM PDT). Our connection to others is especially important today and, for the most part, is rather easily enjoyed. Nonetheless, there is definitely an aggressive streak that has the potential to open 'old wounds' in somewhat surprising ways. The outcome is most likely to promote some kind of deeper healing but may seem quite chaotic or uncomfortable through the process. Ultimately, there is a great deal of resolution offered here if we can sustain at least of bit of faith and objectivity. The Moon goes VOC following the square to Venus and arrives in Libra this evening at 10:42 PM PDT.Tuesday July 29, 2025
Most of today's action is in the early morning hours as the Libra Moon 'touches base' with all of the outer planets between midnight and 4 AM PDT. It is notable that the Moon is setting up the upcoming Aquarius Full Moon (August 9 12:57 AM PDT 16° Aquarius/Leo) by hitting the same extremely potent notes that Mars will be hitting at the Full Moon — but Mars will hit harder, longer and with more emphasis. Today's potent energy demands that we stay alert. We may find that instinct is driving us in surprising ways. There is a temptation to take chances but, win or lose, we need to be willing to accept the consequences and stay alert for further opportunities. It's quite likely that what plays out today will set the stage for further development throughout the current lunar cycle. The Moon squares Jupiter at 8:58 PM PDT and the goes VOC for over 37 hours.Wednesday July 30, 2025
The Moon is VOC in Libra all day today. There is very little hope of finding any sort of lasting agreement today — but a strong inclination to 'talk all about it'. Broadly, the mood seems rather amiable and perhaps a bit lazy or apathetic. Venus moves out of Gemini and into Cancer (where she feel quite comfortable) this evening. The Moon will make a trine to Venus just after arriving in Scorpio tomorrow morning, suggesting a promising escape from today's extended VOC Moon and the seeming aimlessness that is offered today. Also notable today, Chiron turns retrograde in Aries, offering a review of our effectiveness at expressing our individuality and distinct perspectives.Thursday July 31, 2025
The Moon arrives in Scorpio this morning at 10:24 AM PDT, ending a 37+ hour VOC period. A quick trine to Venus is likely to feel quite promising but the follow-up 'punch' — a square to Pluto — feels quite uncomfortable. The notable Sun-Mercury inferior conjunction encourages a somewhat favorable ability to show off our 'best' qualities, despite the discomfort. Under this waxing lunar cycle, there is definitely a desire to display our 'best side' even in the midst of a great deal of inner turmoil. Nonetheless, there is an element of 'fake it till you make it' in today's Sun-Mercury conjunction that seems to offer some productive optimism or at least a 'positive attitude'.Friday August 01, 2025
The arrival of Venus in Cancer on Wednesday has certainly helped to provide a bit more amiability to the overall atmosphere. While the tumultuous shifts underway aren't slowing down anytime soon, we seem to have a bit more capacity to find some internal refuge. The Moon's trine to Jupiter this morning (10:25 AM PDT) helps to soften the 'downer' of Venus' squares to Saturn and Neptune which feels like an assault on our attempts to 'look on the bright side'. However, the truth is that this is not an atmosphere where we are able to sidestep 'truth' and 'facts'. Basically, today's challenges help us to check our intuitive or instinctive guidance and can help us avoid getting too idealistic or stuck in broadly unrealistic delusion.Saturday August 02, 2025
The Moon forms a sextile to Mars today which creates a YOD with Chiron, culminating late this afternoon. The blind corner that we need to navigate under this influence seems to relate to how much we find ourselves reliant on those around us. We seem to be inclined to pull back, isolate, or withdraw from too much interaction. In other words, we're tired of putting on a show and are likely ready to take off our mask or 'slip off stage' for quick break. Although there seems to be some significant tension in today's atmosphere, it is mainly undercover. There is little inclination to open up enough to 'talk it through', although there is plenty of support to find resolutions if we can convince ourselves to share our concerns. The Moon goes VOC after completing the sextile to Mars (6:06 PM PDT) and arrives in Sagittarius at 11 PM PDT.
