Live Sky Positions

The planets don’t stop moving after you’re born. Their current positions — called transits — continually interact with your natal chart and everyone else’s. When astrologers say "Mercury is retrograde," they’re describing a transit: Mercury’s apparent backward motion through a region of the zodiac. This tool shows you the actual positions of all ten planets right now, updated hourly from ephemeris data. It’s the same sky everyone shares, but how it affects you personally depends on where these transiting planets land relative to your own chart.

No planets currently retrograde.

Understand what each of these celestial bodies represents in The Planets. See how their current positions create monthly transits that affect your relationship. For the month-long outlook — lunar phases, ingresses, meteor showers, and visitors — read the Stellar Weather forecast.
