Current Planetary Positions — Live Degrees, Signs & Aspects
This page shows the current planetary positions today in Western astrology, calculated in real time using precise ephemeris data. Every planet’s exact degree, zodiac sign, and house placement is displayed alongside a live chart wheel and aspect grid — updated the moment you load the page.
What you’ll find on this page
- Planetary degrees today — exact degree and minute within each zodiac sign for Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto.
- Current astrology chart — a geocentric zodiac wheel rendered as scalable SVG showing planet placements and house cusps.
- Current planetary aspects — all active angular relationships (conjunction, sextile, square, trine, opposition) with orb values.
- House cusps — computed using the Placidus house system, the most widely used in Western astrology.
- Retrograde status — any planet currently retrograde is clearly marked with ℞.
How to read planetary positions
Each planet’s position is shown as a degree within its zodiac sign (0°–29°). For example, “Sun 18° Aquarius” means the Sun is at the 18th degree of Aquarius. The full degree column shows the absolute ecliptic longitude (0°–360°) and the lord column shows the traditional ruling planet of the sign.
Current astrology transits
Tracking planets right now helps you understand the daily astrological weather. When planets form tight aspects — especially conjunctions, squares, and oppositions — their combined energies shape the mood and themes of the day. Use this page alongside our live planetary aspects page for detailed interpretations.
Western vs Vedic planetary positions
This chart uses the tropical zodiac (Western astrology), which is aligned to the seasons. Vedic (sidereal) astrology uses fixed star positions and shows planets roughly 24° earlier. If you’re looking for Vedic planetary positions, we offer that too.

Current Planetary Positions — FAQ
What are the current planetary positions today?
This page displays live planetary positions with exact degrees, zodiac signs, and house placements for right now. Data is recalculated every time you load the page using precise ephemeris data, so it always reflects the current sky.
How are planetary degrees calculated?
Positions are computed geocentrically using the DE421 ephemeris and mapped to the tropical zodiac. Each planet’s position is shown as a degree within its sign (0°–29°) plus the full 360° ecliptic longitude.
What aspects are active between planets right now?
The aspect map shows all current angular relationships: conjunction (0°), sextile (60°), square (90°), trine (120°), opposition (180°), and quincunx (150°). The orb value tells you how close each aspect is to exact. For detailed interpretations, see our Today’s Planetary Aspects page.
What is the difference between Western and Vedic planetary positions?
Western astrology uses the tropical zodiac (aligned to seasons), while Vedic astrology uses the sidereal zodiac (aligned to fixed stars). Planets appear roughly 24° earlier in the sidereal system. This page uses the tropical zodiac.
Can I see planetary positions for a different city?
Yes! Click the “View Positions for Any City” button to access our advanced tool where you can select any location worldwide and customise the date and time.
What does retrograde (℞) mean?
When a planet appears to move backward through the zodiac from Earth’s perspective, it’s called retrograde. Retrograde periods are traditionally associated with review, delays, and revisiting themes related to that planet.
What house system is used?
This chart uses the Placidus house system, the most popular in Western astrology. House cusps are based on New York, USA coordinates. For other locations, use the advanced tool.
How often is this page updated?
Positions are recalculated on every page load — so you always see the current planetary positions for right now, not cached or outdated data.
