Questions about today’s sky
- What sign is the Moon in today?
- The Moon is in Gemini at 25°34′, waning gibbous, 83% lit. The Moon changes sign about every two and a half days, so this page recomputes it rather than describing it.
- Is Mercury retrograde right now?
- Yes. Mercury is retrograde right now—it appears to move backwards against the stars from where we stand. The table above shows the sign and degree it is doing it in.
- What time are these positions for?
- The live table is computed for the moment it was generated, in UTC, and refreshes hourly—the fastest body, the Moon, moves about half a degree in that time. Pick a date instead and the positions are computed for 12:00 UTC on that day, which is the convention printed ephemerides use.
- Does this tell me anything about my day?
- No, and that is not modesty. Every position here is identical for everyone alive, so nothing on this page can distinguish your day from anyone else’s. Which days matter for you depends on your own birth chart—the free calculator is where that happens.
