Astrological View of the Planets Today - Right Now

This page brings you face to face with the heavens as they are today,
now, this moment! And also as they will be and how they were.
Mobile App View
By default we assume you are viewing this page using a mobile device
and provide a lightweight app showing you the positions of the planets
New Videos
Astrological Positions 2000-2029 today and 30 days into the past and future. However you can select to
view the page using our desktop version which uses more CPU and has
more features but is fiddly to use on a small screen.
You can also watch a video of the planet positions using our yearly
planetary alignment videos.
Desktop App Version
With our desktop app, you can rewind time to see the heavens at the
time of your birth and discover for yourself which sign each planet was
in and which were in retrograde. However, please be aware that
although the positions of the planets shown are accurate, they are not
to the second by second precision of the charts that astrologers normally
use.
How do I control the desktop app?
Most of the controls are reasonably obvious - especially if you play with
them. The top slider allows you to control how time moves so you can
speed forwards and backwards in time. Pressing the yellow button by the
slider puts it into real time so the planets move as quickly on the screen
as they are in space. So it's not to difficult to rewind time to the time of
your birth to see the planets as they were. If you need to get the display
back to show the planets as they are today and now, then press the
yellow button next to the date time display at the top. For full
information on all the app controls, click here.
Geocentric
The view above shows all the planets arranged around the Earth as if
they were in located on a sphere with the earth in the centre - a
geocentric view. This ensures all planets are shown in the correct zodiac
sign.
Which Planets are in retrograde?
Planets glow as they go into retrograde. You may find that planets were

on the cusp of retrograde at the time of your birth, in which case you
may need to consult accurate charts to see exactly when retrograde
phase started. Or indeed if the planet was in a stopped phase either side
of retrograde.
Astrology Today - What does it all mean for me?
Astrology is a very wide subject with many many layers of interpretation
required to understand all the meanings provided by a persons natal
Pluto and its moons LIVE chart (where all the planets were at their precise time of birth) in
conjunction with the positions of the planets today, or at a time of
importance for that person.
There are also various schools which use slightly different methods and
ways of measuring the planets in order to make predictions and give
advice.
The following is a very brief overview of western astrology to give you
Halley's Comet LIVE an idea of how it works without touching too much on areas of
contention with the astrology world. If you are more interested in the
Indian (also known as Vedic or Hindu) system, then take a look at our
Hindu Astrology page.

What is a Horoscope?
Although we generally take 'a horoscope' to mean an astrologers
prediction of our future. It actually means an astrological chart or
diagram representing the positions of the Sun, Moon, planets,
astrological aspects, and sensitive angles at the time of an event, such
as the moment of a person's birth. The word 'horoscope' is derived from
Greek words hora and scopos meaning "time" "observer"
Once it has been worked out, the horoscope provides the basis for
divining many aspects of that event or related events or time periods.
The signs of the Zodiac
The sky is divided up into 12 areas - the 12
signs of the zodiac. Each of these signs covers
an equal area of the sky and is aligned to the
stars. (Over millennia the zodiac moves with
respect to the stars as the earth's axis
precesses - but it's best to ignore this whilst
learning the basics). So when looking at the sky, the stars are fixed when
compared with the zodiac, but the planets, as they orbit the sun,
change position and "wander" about. Astrology tries to use the
movements of the stars to understand our personalities and to some
extent control our destinies. Each of the 12 signs is also associated with
an element (earth, air, fire and water) and also a mode (cardinal, fixed
and mutable). More about this later.
The Planets
Each of the planets (which for astrology includes the sun and the moon)
control a different aspect. In general terms they can be listed as:
Sun = Ego / Self
Moon = Emotion / Moods
Mercury = Communication / Thinking
Venus = Harmony / Affections
Mars = Confidence / Energy
Jupiter = Prosperity / Good Fortune
Saturn = Limitations / Practicality
Uranus = Individuality / Inventiveness
Neptune = Idealism / Compassion
Pluto = Transformation / Power
The Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus and Mars are the personal planets which
affect our personalities and immediate relationships. The more distant
planets affect how we interact with the world in a more general way.
When planets are in retrograde (e.g. they appear to be traveling
backwards to their normal motion in the sky) their effect can be
reversed to be directed inwards. When they again start to move forward
again their effect can be enhanced.
Planets and Signs
Each planet is the ruler of a particular sign (or signs). Whilst in that sign
the planets influence is enhanced. The rulerships for each of the planets
are as below:
Sun Leo
Moon Cancer
Mercury Gemini and Virgo
Venus Libra and Taurus
Mars Aries (and* Scorpio)
Jupiter Sagittarius (and* Pisces)
Saturn Capricorn (and* Aquarius)
Uranus Aquarius
Neptune Pisces
Pluto Scorpio

* before the invention of telescopes, these signs were also assigned to

these planets. Since telescopes the three outer planets have been
discovered and assigned these signs.
This information is useful since if you know what influence a planet has,
then you will know what influence that signs ruled by that planet have.
Elements
Signs are allocated a different element in turn. This means that every
fourth sign has the same element as follows:
Fire Signs : Aries, Leo, Sagittarius
Earth Signs: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn
Air Signs : Gemini, Libra, Aquarius
Water Signs : Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces
Fire signs represent a persons passion, energy, enthusiasm, inspiration.
Earth signs represent a persons practicality, stability, materialism,
realism.
Air signs represent language, intellect, communication and social
relationships.
Water signs represent emotion, mysticism, intuition.
Generally speaking, the more planets someone has in a particular sign at
the time of their birth, the stronger that signs personality traits will be
in them.
Modes
Rather like elements, each sign also has a mode allocated to it. Every
3rd sign has the same mode as follows:
Cardinal Signs: Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn
Fixed Signs: Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius
Mutable Signs: Gemini. Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces
Cardinal signs are energetic, dynamic and proactive.
Fixed signs are persistence, perseverant, stable.
Mutable signs are flexible, changeable, adaptable, suggestible.
Again, the more planets you have in a particular Mode, the more your
personality has those traits.
Working out the planets influences?
It takes quite a lot of skill to determine one's personality traits
accurately. However, a simple rule of thumb is to count at the time of
birth how many planets fall in each sign and then work out how many
are in each element and mode (perhaps counting the sun and moon as 2
due to their extra influence). The greater the score for each indicates
how much of an influence each element and mode are on that person.
What are the Houses
Just when you thought you might have got some sort of a grip on
astrology, in come the houses. Whereas signs indicate what personality
traits one has, houses indicate where they will exhibited themselves.
Like the signs, there are 12 houses which divide up the sky. However the
alignment of the houses is defined by the position of the horizon on the
time of your birth. This means in order to calculate the houses, one
must know not only what date one was born but also what time (to
within a few minutes) and at what location on earth.

If one were to the set the application above to the time of ones birth
and then set the lat and long to the place of ones birth, then the lowest
slider will then bring up a display of the horizon at that time and
location. Using this horizon one can ascertain how the houses are
defined.
The first house is located just under the western horizon, and the others
follow consecutively in an anti-clockwise direction - e.g. the first 6 are
in the black area (below the horizon), the last 6 are in the sky area
(above the horizon). Once one knows where the houses lie, one can
again see which sign lies in which house. Since there are 12 signs and 12
houses one can see that normally each house will overlay parts of 2
signs. The sign used is the sign which overlays the cusp of the house. The
lines which separate each of the houses are called the cusps. The cusp
of a house is the line preceding.
What do the houses mean?
The following chart from wikipedia shows how the houses are
interpreted.

characteristics. First impressions. General

Many modern astrologers assume that the houses relate to their

corresponding signs, i.e. that the first house has a natural affinity with
the first sign, Aries, and so on.
And there's more...
The houses can also be classified as Angular, Succedent and Cadent and
are ruled by signs according to the astrological modality. And... well
there are many many more aspects to astrology which seem almost
designed to confuse and complicate.
As you can see, astrology is not a simple area of study. The above is just
skimming the surface of a subject that could (and does) take up volumes
and volumes of books. There are many systems of astrology and many
variations between individual astrologers that use the same basic
principles. Some astrologers also use astronomical objects which have
never been seen by the unaided eye (such as chiron - an asteroid/comet
cross discovered in 1977) and others objects that have never even been
detected. Some prefer to align the zodiac to the night time sky as seen
by astrologers hundreds or thousands of years ago - such as in the Hindu
Astrology system.
All in all, with astrology today, one must pick and choose the astrologer
and the style of astrology that suits one best.
