A time for action and decisions. Obstacles may arise, but they are the necessary friction for growth. Building momentum, breaking old patterns, and taking concrete steps forward.
Collective Mood · Aquarius
As the Moon travels through Aquarius, originality, community and new ideas come to the front. People think independently and turn toward the group and the future. A tendency toward emotional coolness and detachment can rise.
Libra
During Libra season, relationships, balance and harmony gain importance. A good period for compromise, partnership and the search for beauty.
Venus
While Venus is retrograde, relationships and values get a second look. Old connections may resurface, and it is wiser to postpone big love and money decisions.
Saturn
While Saturn is retrograde, responsibilities and structures are reassessed. A good period to review discipline, boundaries and long-term commitments.
Uranus
While Uranus is retrograde, the urge for change matures within. Instead of sudden outward breaks, it is a time to notice where freedom is truly needed.
Neptune
While Neptune is retrograde, dreams and illusions grow clearer. Separating reality from fantasy, listening to intuition and waking up from escape come to the front.
Today the elements are balanced in the sky, and no single one stands out. The energy is versatile and mixed, with many tones working together.
Today the fixed quality dominates. Determination, continuity and commitment come to the front. It is easy to keep things going and deepen them, but flexibility may decrease.
Planetary Hour
Feelings and imagination meet softly today; intuition is gently within reach if quietly allowed in.
Love turns intense and pressing today; depth and passion can grip too tightly and strain the wish for ease.
Feeling and depth fuse into one today; emotion and intensity unite, and what was buried surges to the surface.
Dreams and deep change find a gentle, slow opening that quietly shapes a whole generation.
Feelings and the wish for closeness rub against each other today; what soothes and what is wanted can fall out of step.
Love and imagination merge into one today; affection and dream unite, and romance turns soft and boundless.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a transit in astrology?
A transit is where a planet stands in the sky right now, read against the zodiac or against a birth chart. This page shows the transits of the moment: each planet's sign and degree, the aspects between them, the Moon's phase and which planets are retrograde.
How do you read today's transits?
Start with the slow planets, since their positions set the background for a whole season, then look at the Moon and the inner planets for the tone of the day. The aspects listed here are generally read as a conversation between two bodies, not as fixed events.
How often is this sky chart updated?
The snapshot you see first is recast every 30 minutes, and once the page is open in your browser it refreshes itself every 60 seconds. Positions are geocentric and tropical, computed with the Swiss Ephemeris.
Is this the same as my personal transit chart?
No. This page is the sky itself, the same for everyone. To see today's planets drawn over your own birth chart, use the transit chart tool, which needs your date, time and place of birth.
