Questions about today’s sky
- What sign is the Moon in today?
- The Moon is in Taurus at 4°36′, waning gibbous, 78% 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?
- No. Mercury is moving forward right now. Mercury turns retrograde three or four times a year for about three weeks; this page says so on the days it is true.
- 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. A transit becomes a date worth knowing when it lands on a placement in your own chart—the free calculator is where that happens.
