How live planet positions are calculated
Sign, degree and motion in the sky table
Planet positions are the astronomical input used by transit calendars and astrology forecasts. Interpretation is a separate layer, so this page keeps the position data and symbolic reading distinct.
Positions and event times are calculated with Astronomy Engine, an open-source astronomical library. For independent observational data and definitions, consult NASA JPL Solar System Dynamics.
Position data is not a prediction
Calculated positions are astronomical data. Astrological meanings are a symbolic tradition, not scientific predictions or professional advice.
