If you would like the full experience please enable an up to date version of Adobe Flash Player. Note: Some browsers e. By default we assume you are viewing this page using a mobile device and provide a lightweight app showing you the positions of the planets today and 30 days into the past and future.

However you can select to view the page using our desktop version which uses more CPU and has more features but is fiddly to use on a small screen. You can also watch a video of the planet positions using our yearly planetary alignment videos. With our desktop app, you can rewind time to see the heavens at the time of your birth and discover for yourself which sign each planet was in and which were in retrograde. However, please be aware that although the positions of the planets shown are accurate, they are not to the second by second precision of the charts that astrologers normally use.

Most of the controls are reasonably obvious - especially if you play with them. The top slider allows you to control how time moves so you can speed forwards and backwards in time. Pressing the yellow button by the slider puts it into real time so the planets move as quickly on the screen as they are in space. So it's not to difficult to rewind time to the time of your birth to see the planets as they were.

If you need to get the display back to show the planets as they are today and now, then press the yellow button next to the date time display at the top. For full information on all the app controls, click here. The view above shows all the planets arranged around the Earth as if they were in located on a sphere with the earth in the centre - a geocentric view.

This ensures all planets are shown in the correct zodiac sign. Planets glow as they go into retrograde. You may find that planets were on the cusp of retrograde at the time of your birth, in which case you may need to consult accurate charts to see exactly when retrograde phase started. Or indeed if the planet was in a stopped phase either side of retrograde. Astrology is a very wide subject with many many layers of interpretation required to understand all the meanings provided by a persons natal chart where all the planets were at their precise time of birth in conjunction with the positions of the planets today, or at a time of importance for that person.

There are also various schools which use slightly different methods and ways of measuring the planets in order to make predictions and give advice. The following is a very brief overview of western astrology to give you an idea of how it works without touching too much on areas of contention with the astrology world. If you are more interested in the Indian also known as Vedic or Hindu system, then take a look at our Hindu Astrology page. If you have half an hour to spare, this very informative video explains many of the concepts and symbology behind modern western astrology.

Although we generally take 'a horoscope' to mean an astologers prediction of our future. It actually means an astrological chart or diagram representing the positions of the Sun, Moon, planets, astrological aspects, and sensitive angles at the time of an event, such as the moment of a person's birth. The word 'horoscope' is derived from Greek words hora and scopos meaning "time" "observer".

Once it has been worked out, the horoscope provides the basis for divining many aspects of that event or related events or time periods. The sky is divided up into 12 areas - the 12 signs of the zodiac. Each of these signs covers an equal area of the sky and is aligned to the stars.

Over millennia the zodiac moves with respect to the stars as the earth's axis precesses - but it's best to ignore this whilst learning the basics. So when looking at the sky, the stars are fixed when compared with the zodiac, but the planets, as they orbit the sun, change position and "wander" about. Astrology tries to use the movements of the stars to understand our personalities and to some extent control our destinies. Each of the 12 signs is also associated with an element earth, air, fire and water and also a mode cardinal, fixed and mutable.

More about this later. Each of the planets which for astrology includes the sun and the moon control a different aspect. In general terms they can be listed as:. The Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus and Mars are the personal planets which affect our personalities and immediate relationships. The more distant planets affect how we interact with the world in a more general way. When planets are in retrograde e. When they again start to move forward again their effect can be enhanced. Each planet is the ruler of a particular sign or signs. Whilst in that sign the planets influence is enhanced.

The rulerships for each of the planets are as below:.

So, think back to the last retrograde run and how it made everyone feel. People where pissed off. This time we have Ceres in the major conjunction along with Vesta and Juno square and the Moon quincunx.

Ceres is associated with the energy to nurture. When angry, it is the mother scorned. It is that unbearable loss, grief, deprivation and hunger. It naturally brings things together so that the energy can be worked through. When not well aspected, this energy can represent spousal abuse, rage, betrayal, bitterness and it is linked to real-life functioning relationships. Vesta is generally thought of as bringing out the purest potential of a situation, but when square like this it brings up family issues, self-abuse, insecurity and promiscuity.

Thus, the bad aspects that are associated with all this political energy is feminine and family oriented. In the context of today, when you see main stream news headlines that would normally only be seen in fictional Hollywood movies, well, we know some bad stuff is about to come out. It is highly likely that the human element of intimacy will be brought up in the context of politics for the world to see.

At the same time, the information will be restricted and communication will be capped. This is going to bring out details. Virgo does the work. Mars stirs it into action. People are going to do the work to put things together. Evidence will mount. Just in time for Brixit. Mars is still in Virgo, but everything else has transitioned to Libra. Expect the leadership in Europe to exhibit the negative Libra traits and lie in order to keep things in balance. No one is going to want to rock the boat.

By Mid-October 22 nd below , Ceres and Jupiter come together. By the end of October, Venus and Mercury come into conjunction with Pallas, which is the feminine warrior of justice. As we saw last year, direct interactions with Pallas aligned to the riots that started in France and moved eastward. When this happens, Ceres is still conjunct Jupiter and Uranus is still retrograde. To me, this is the moment that we should all hold our breaths for. When the leadership comes together with the just-warrior, we also have retrograde Uranus conjunct the Dk Moon Lilith.

If there is going to be rioting in the streets, this is where I would expect to see it. It should be obvious here or by this time. If this storyline unfolds anything like described here, the energy of frustration should be clear and obvious. The next key date is the target date of January 12 th , It is at this point that we should hit the climax for what built up this fall. This is a major transition date that we should be able to measure how people change as these planets wane from degrees Capricorn. One of the reasons for the AstroMap is so that you can see where the influence of the planets is going to be relative to the locations on the earth.

Note that every spot has a direct and opposite location on the earth and both spots are displayed on the Map. Come January , the direct location of the energy is nearly perfectly over Hong Kong in south China. Yet, it also stretches down into Malaysia and Indonesia. You can see on the map what is directly under the influence of Capricorn. The point of opposition for each planet is important and that area is represented with the crosshatches. To me, if there is a financial element to the events of the fall which I expect their will be , I would expect that the two real pivot points will be china and the US.

For all the other dates, just look at the map and it will show you the direct and opposite locations. In terms of physics, this bubble's inner spherical space is referred to as our "near field. As we expand our consciousness, the bounds of this bubble, we are expanding our near field. It is also possible to project our awareness outside of our bubble, sort of like intel-gathering or taking excursions to explore other realms beyond our known reality, both in time and space.

Ultimately if we dissolve our bubble of perception, we become boundless beings with omniscient awareness. More about Eris. The effect of the Pluto-Eris Square, occuring throughout , I suspect will catalyze deeper levels of transformation within the very fabric of human society. This transition occurs with Eris making its transition from sidereal Pisces into sidereal Aries and under the stars of the upright fish of Pisces. Pluto makes passage in late sidereal Sagittarius and under the high-energy accelerating and illuminating stars of Lyra and Aquila.

The synodic heliocentric square occurs with Eris in late Pisces and Pluto in late Sagittarius. This stellar placement, perhaps one of the most progressively disruptive, suggests it may be catalyst for tremendous accomplishment and attainment away from the the establish evolutionary modalities of the past. The extreme acceleration of new progressive disruptive developments may have tremendous illuminating psychological repercussions. Realizations about the ramifications of these disruptive accomplishments may aid to initiate a total make-over of human society.

It would extend into every facet of human culture and society, and into technologies associated with energy production. These developments may directly influence the disruption of the control of resources and the monetary system itself. Autonomous ownership and decentralized control of resources would make fundamental resources equally available to all people globally. The heliocentric square, demarcating the actual transition in the Pluto-Eris cycle occurs in August of , and with the two planets remaining in three degree orb throughout Pluto and Eris entered a three degree orb to their heliocentric square in There are several exact geocentric conjunctions that extend from January through , and with a long-standing exact conjunction occurring throughout the second half of Excerpt from the March 6, Lunar Planner In March of , Pluto and Eris approach a one degree orb to their exact geocentric square.

This occurs as Ketu precesses from sidereal Capricorn into late sidereal Sagittarius. This kicks off a several month period impelling accelerated change. Saturn joins the planetary configuration in late April during its retrograde station conjoining Ketu. Jupiter and Saturn will continue to maintain a tight aspect with the Lunar Nodes through September of due to their retrogrades. The Lunar Nodes aspect with the Pluto-Eris square, occurring in March of demarcates just the beginning of the longer-term Pluto-Eris square and its influence for humanity.

The geocentric conjunctions can be seen in the , and graphic ephemerides. The continued effect of Pluto-Eris square along with the other planetary transitions presented above significantly contributes to "The Great Transformation. Ketu's movement into Sagittarius conjoining Pluto and Chariklo impels us to discard, give away or flush away all that is antiquated, all that is clutter, that which obscures and keeps us from living our highest ideals, dreams and aspirations, and all that we give our power away to, and that keeps us from claiming the core power within self.

The Pluto-Chariklo-Ketu synthesis also impels us to elevate how we use our personal power, and power in the world, to create an energetic environment that is healing and that supports to the nourishment and development of the unique attributes inherent to our selves, to our young, and to humankind. This is a theme that will extend throughout the several months ahead.

The Saturn – Pluto Conjunction

This exceptionally dynamic First Quarter Moon kicks off this event. The Ketu-Pluto conjunction and the Lunar Nodes T-Square to Eris not only influences what is occurring within ourselves, but it also provides impetus to discard or retire the antiquated Plutonian expression in the world, which is one of dominance and control over others and over resources, and in the very oligarchies functioning in such a capacity. Pluto also relates to behavioral patterns about how we use resources to generate power.

This is why Pluto is associated with nuclear, atomic, and petroleum based power. Thus, the Ketu-Pluto conjunction also provides impetus to relinquish the antiquated ways that we generate power and what we do with it, also impelling us to discard how we destructively use the power we generate from resources to dominate and control. It as well demarcates the transition from the use of petroleum and nuclear power which require the destruction of resources to generate those forms of power to forms that are life-supportive, regenerative, and renewable.

The Lunar Nodes Eris T-Square also indicates disclosures, exposures, and disruptions in the old Plutonian paradigm, which would ultimately aid in this transition. Although the Lunar Nodes' aspect with the Pluto-Eris square extends for a few months in , keep in mind that the Pluto-Eris square is just beginning—extending through Excerpt from the April 5, Lunar Planner The First Quarter Moon of each lunar cycle draws an external stimulus to initiate action as we move from the inspirational quarter of the lunar cycle into the action quarter.

This is an exceptionally dynamic and stimulating First Quarter Moon, which occurs on April 12 in late sidereal Gemini. Jupiter, also aspecting, conjoins the sting of the Scorpion in late sidereal Scorpio, which lies opposite Juno, asteroid of covenants in relations. Also aspecting are Mercury and Sedna, which form a Yod to Haumea. Rahu's entry into sidereal Gemini delineates a "path of action," that impels exploration into new ways of interaction and intercommunication that leads to and supports our personal growth and wellbeing, and that cultivates new ways of human cooperation and exchange in society, business, commerce, and international affairs.

It brings emphasis to people and groups of a diverse interest and heritage, to public relations and negotiations, and to liaisons. It impels action to link or re-link individuals or groups together for concerted efforts that can serve a purpose far greater than the separate parties can accomplish alone. Here we find motivation for the coordination and exchange of information between individuals or separate groups, and the restructuring of relations for new ventures that serve the betterment of humankind.

The entire Saturn retrograde occurring in and the new It demands we take the responsibility to relinquish antiquated behavioral patterns, belief structures and crystallizations in consciousness, and to spiritualize and elevate our efforts to establish new foundations, organizations and systems in our lives that will support a new societal modality emerging throughout the decade ahead. The Saturn retrograde occurs entirely in Sagittarius.

Saturn remains in Sagittarius through its conjunction with Pluto in late Sagittarius and will enter Capricorn, its domain, in early February of Saturn is peregrine in Sagittarius, meaning that it is merely a visitor passing through an energetic environment where it does not have any specific level of authority. It is neither overly empowered nor is it diminished in any way. It is however subject to the rule of Jupiter, the ruler of Sagittarius.

This means that Saturn is under the influence of Jupiter, which is of higher wisdom, movement and expansion. Thus Saturn's opportunity is to learn from Jupiter and elevate its expression, and now, conjoining Ketu, it is impelled to relinquish its antiquated ways of behavior. Thus, this dynamic applies to all that is associated with Saturn in our lives and in society; e.

During the time of Saturn's initial visit into Sagittarius, Jupiter is off visiting a foreign land, Scorpio, with a different ruler, which is another story not pertinent here. Jupiter does not retrograde in Sagittarius, but rapidly moves to its conjunction with Pluto in late Sagittarius, and soon afterward, to its conjunction with Saturn, which occurs in This conjunction and the ensuing new Jupiter-Saturn year cycle, occurs in Capricorn, the land where Saturn rules, and where Jupiter will then be visiting.

This is when the tables turn, or shall I say, when the Tablet of Destinies is passed from Jupiter to Saturn. The point of significance throughout is that the inner work we do during Saturn's retrograde and also during Jupiter and Pluto retrogrades is of utmost importance. The reason for this is because the inner transformations we make throughout directly effect how we will experience Saturn's expression in our lives when it returns to its place of rulership, Capricorn, which occurs from February 3, through January 27, —during the first few years after the transition created by the Jupiter-Saturn-Pluto synthesis and as we enter the new cycles created by these three planets in the following decade.

Mars rules Aries and Scorpio. Mars functions in its masculine expression in Aries and in its feminine expression in Scorpio. We also look at the rulership of Saturn in the houses for If, for example, you have an Aries ascendent defining your first house , then the Ketu-Saturn conjunction transits the 9th house Sag and Rahu transits your 3rd house Gemini.

In this case, Saturn's rulership occurs in the 10th Capricorn and 11th Aquarius houses. If you have a Taurus ascendent, then the Ketu-Saturn conjunction transits the 8th Sag house and Rahu transits your 2nd house Gemini. Saturn's rulership occurs in the 9th Capricorn and 10th Aquarius houses—and so on. This applies to Whole Houses where each sidereal sign defines each house; e. Also consider Ketu and Rahu transits to any natal planets in their associated houses. You can also consider where your are in your This in no way means that these areas of your life are being destroyed, it means areas of life where there is impetus to claim the wisdom from previous modes of participation.

The house that Rahu transits determines where there is impetus to explore new possibilities and where to engage in new experience to serve your greater growth and life purpose. Occuring in Gemini, this involves communication and exploration amongst humanity and in social interactions, and also in areas of commerce and the exchange of good and services, and all that is associated with Gemini in general. Reference: Your Natal Lunar Nodes. Exploring events occurring around this time in world history may shed some light as to the nature of this cycle and of the square occuring now.

One of the most interesting things I found is that Mayer Amschel Anschel Rothschild February 23, — September 19, , who was the founder of the Rothschild banking dynasty and is considered the "founding father of international finance," initiated his career in banking in the time of the Pluto-Eris synod and geocentric conjunction.

The Rothschild family, of course is one of the several families of the oligarchy in control of global finance and the subsequent control of banking, money and politics worldwide, and of the resultant human condition; i. Jacob taught Rothschild about foreign trade and currency exchange, before he returned to his brothers' business in Frankfurt in Jacob took over his father's banking business after his death in References Origins of the Rothschild family business , rothschildarchive.

The French and British were attempting to gain Native American territory, which was a part of the larger imperial war between Great Britain and France. In Europe, the French gained a major victory over the British by taking possession of the island Minorca in the Mediterranean in The war took a turn in as British forces defeated French forces in India. British armies then invaded and conquered Canada in The repercussions of the Seven Years' war in America led to extreme unrest and resentment with colonists as the British government attempted to impose taxes on colonists to pay for the war.

The British also attempted to limit western expansion by colonists, which also spurred a major war with Native Americans. All of this escalated colonial rebellion, which grew into the American Revolution, a full-scale war for independence, occurring between and The Seven Years' war split Europe into two coalitions and is consider by some historians to be "World War Zero" due to its scale and global influence.

Every European great power was involved and it spanned five continents, affecting Europe, the Americas, West Africa, India, and the Philippines. It enabled China to control all trade with the West by forcing all non-Rusian ships to enter China through the southern port of Canton now Guangzhou. The Canton System seems to have been the seed from which emerged China's international commercial policy with the Western European powers and eventually the United States.

The Canton System came to an end primarily due to the Opium Wars, which was a way to subvert China's policy to only accept silver in exchange for goods. Considering the above mentioned events occurring at the start of the Pluto-Eris cycle, we may deduce this last quarter transition may affect the global financial oligarchies, the control of global economic systems, and international trade, especially between China and US, if not accelerating conflict.

The Centaur Chariklo and Pluto conjoin in late sidereal Sagittarius and square to Eris in late Pisces throughout , creating one of the most significant energetics occurring throughout The last cycle began in at Pluto's north node, conjoining Castor and Pollux of the Gemini Twins. Jupiter and Saturn will also initiate new synodic cycles with Chariklo in shown in the videos below. Ceres conjoins the Saturn-Pluto conjunction and Chariklo in January The Saturn-Chariklo synod occurs in April of , initiating a new year cycle.
