Sky Today
This is a Live Chart of the sky as it stands right now, based on live NASA data — a picture of where each planet sits today, and what that concentration of energy tends to open up or press against, generally, for everyone under it.
It maps today's exact planetary positions — sign, house, and the aspects forming between them — alongside the sky's overall balance across elements and modalities. From these, a set of core insights emerges: where today's energy leans, what's easy and what's under strain, which planets are retrograde, and the single most useful thing to pay attention to right now. Positions update continuously through the day as the planets move — nothing here is fixed the way a birth chart is.

Active Aspects
An aspect is the angle two planets currently form with each other. Different angles play out differently — some bring things together smoothly, others create friction — and the tighter the angle, the stronger its pull on the day.
Retrograde Watch
Retrograde is when a planet appears to move backward through the zodiac as seen from Earth — an optical effect of orbital speed, not a literal reversal. It's traditionally read as a signal to revisit, review, or slow down in that planet's area of life rather than push forward with something new.

- Solid dot — a planet's current position
- Hollow dot — that planet is retrograde (moving backward)
- Faint arc — the planet's full path across the day
- Bold arc — how far it has moved since midnight
- Line through the center — an active angle (aspect) between two planets
