These are the positions for . The table lists the 17 bodies and points the product calculates, in its own order. Retrograde today: Venus, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Chiron, Pallas, Vesta. The Moon is waning crescent, 28.6% lit; the Moon has its own page.

Status follows the speed: a negative speed is retrograde, a speed under 0.01° a day is stationary, anything else is direct. The true node and the osculating apogee move backwards most of the time; that is their ordinary motion.

What this page does not say
- What any of it means for you. The same sky touches every chart differently, and that needs your birth data: see transits to your natal chart.
- What you can see from your window. Visibility depends on your place, the hour and the weather.
- What will happen. A position is astronomy; reading it is symbolic, and it is not a forecast of events.
Set today’s sky against your chart
Enter a birth date, time and place. The product compares today’s positions with the natal ones and lists each contact with its orb, whether it is applying or separating, and the day it is exact.
Method
Swiss Ephemeris with its data files, the speed flag on. Positions are geocentric and apparent, in the tropical zodiac, calculated for , one fixed moment, so the same date always gives the same numbers. The node is the true node and Lilith is the osculating lunar apogee. This is the same calculation the apps and the public API use; how closely it agrees with NASA’s JPL Horizons is in the accuracy report.
