What this means
Weather, not fate
A transit is where a planet sits in the sky today, compared to where it sat when you were born. The math hasn't changed since astrologers first tracked it, only the tools got better.
A retrograde, a full moon, a hard angle between two planets, these are conditions, not commands. The sky sets conditions, you still drive.

Tonight's sky affects everyone a little differently. Your birth chart is the other half of the equation.
FAQ
Questions
What is astrological weather?
Astrological weather is the current positions of the sun, moon, and planets, read the way you'd read the weather: conditions, not a forecast of your life. This page computes it live from real ephemeris data, the same math astronomers use to track the sky.
Is Mercury in retrograde right now?
Check the live status above. This page computes Mercury's retrograde status in real time from its actual orbital speed, not a lookup table, so the answer is current whenever you load the page.
What is a transit?
A transit is where a planet sits in the sky today, compared to where it sat in your birth chart. It describes a condition, like weather, not an event that's guaranteed to happen.
Does a transit predict events?
No. A transit describes pressure and timing, not outcomes. The sky sets conditions, you still drive. Your birth chart is the other half of the equation.
