About the Current Sky
How we calculate it
Sun, Moon and planet positions are calculated in your browser the moment the page loads, using a deterministic astronomy engine (no AI, no guessing) checked against Swiss Ephemeris reference values.
Positions are geocentric apparent positions in the tropical zodiac — the same for every place on Earth at a given moment, so they never depend on where you are.
About the time zone
“Now” uses your device’s own clock and time zone. Choose “Choose another date and time” to see the sky at a specific moment — enter it in your own local time and we handle the conversion to the correct astronomical time behind the scenes.
What sign is the Moon in today?
The Moon card on this page shows the Moon’s current zodiac sign and phase for the moment you open it, and when it enters the next sign. The Moon changes sign about every two and a quarter days.
What does retrograde mean?
A planet is marked retrograde when, seen from Earth, it appears to move backwards through the zodiac for a while. The planet does not really reverse; it is an effect of Earth overtaking it, or it overtaking Earth, in orbit. The Sun and Moon are never retrograde.
Questions and answers
What sign is the Moon in tonight?
The Moon card above shows the Moon’s sign right now and the local time it enters the next one. The Moon changes sign about every two and a quarter days, so tonight it is usually in the same sign as this afternoon; when it moves on, the time of the change is shown in your own time zone. To check a particular hour, choose “Choose another date and time” and enter it.
What Moon phase is it today?
The Moon card shows the current phase and how much of the Moon is lit, calculated for the moment you open the page, with the dates of the next new Moon, first quarter, full Moon and last quarter. A full cycle from one new Moon to the next takes about 29.5 days. For yesterday, tomorrow or any other day, the Moon Calendar shows the phase for every day of the month.
Which zodiac season is it?
It is the season of the sign the Sun is in now, shown first in the list of positions above: while the Sun is in Libra, for example, it is Libra season. The Sun spends about a month in each sign and changes sign between about the 18th and the 24th of each month; the note under the list gives the date and time of the next change in your time zone.
What is a transit, and how do I see mine?
A transit is a planet’s position now compared with a point in your birth chart, for example Saturn passing over the degree of your natal Sun. Astrologers traditionally read transits as the timing of the themes of the planets involved. This page shows today’s sky for everyone; My Transits Today compares it with birth details saved on your own device, calculated in your browser.
