How to read this

Sign & degree tells you where each body sits in the tropical zodiac. The traditional bodies (Sun through Saturn) move at very different speeds — the Moon completes the wheel in ~27 days; Saturn takes ~29 years.

Retrograde is an apparent motion: the planet is not actually moving backward, but from Earth’s frame it appears to. Mercury retrogrades 3–4 times a year for ~3 weeks each; the outer planets are retrograde for months at a time.

The moon phase reflects the angular separation between the Sun and Moon. New moons happen at conjunction (0°), full moons at opposition (180°), quarters at the squares (90° and 270°).

What to do with it

The live sky is one half of the equation. The other half is your natal chart — the sky at the moment you were born. The interaction between the two (called transits) is what most modern astrology actually reads. Cast your chart and we’ll show you which planets in the sky right now are hitting your natal positions.
