My transits todayCommon questions
- Which planets are retrograde right now?
- The table on this page lists every planet's motion for today. A planet marked Retrograde appears to move backward through the zodiac from Earth's point of view; it is ordinary apparent motion, not a fault in the sky.
- What sign is the Moon in today?
- The Moon's sign and degree are in the table above, with its phase and illumination. The Moon changes sign roughly every two and a half days, so this page is rebuilt every morning.
- Is this a horoscope?
- No. This is the shared sky, the same for everyone. A horoscope by sign guesses at meaning from one placement. To see how today's sky lands on your own chart, use the transits-today tool, which compares today's planets to your birth positions.
- How are the positions calculated?
- Geocentric tropical longitudes computed from the JPL DE442 ephemeris for 12:00 UTC on the date shown, using Skyfield. Aspects are listed with their orb, the distance from exact, and whether they are applying or separating.
