Sky Today App Guide

Sky Today shows you exactly where every planet sits on the zodiac right now — Sun through Pluto, on real concentric orbits, at their true positions. No birth chart, no sign-up, nothing to enter. The transiting sky is the same for everyone on Earth, so the app just works the instant you open it.

Key features

The live sky

Sun through Pluto rendered on real orbits, always in sync with the current moment. Positions come from a genuine ephemeris, not an approximation.

Scrub through time

Drag the timeline and every planet glides along its orbit. Scrub forward and back through days, months, or a full year — positions, aspects, and readouts retune live. Retrograde planets actually slow, stop, and reverse as you pass their stations.

Aspects at a glance

A clean chart wheel draws every aspect between the planets — conjunctions, sextiles, squares, trines, oppositions — with the soonest-to-perfect aspect lit in gold. Each one shows its exact orb, whether it’s applying or separating, and the precise date it perfects.

Events timeline

A unified timeline gathers every ingress, retrograde station, moon phase, and exact aspect, each with a live countdown. Tap any event to jump the whole app to that exact moment.

Planet detail

Tap a planet for its position, speed, next sign change, next station, and a trail showing its recent motion across the zodiac.

Tips for beginners

1. Start by watching a single planet’s retrograde loop — it makes the “slow, stop, reverse” motion click instantly
2. Use the aspect wheel to see which planets are talking to each other today
3. Check the events timeline each morning for anything exact that day
4. Pair with our Vedic basics learning path if you’re new to astrology concepts in general — Sky Today itself uses Western (tropical) astrology
