Planetary alignment explorer

Move the date to see how the planets arranged around the Sun that day. The diagram is heliocentric (Sun in the center). Below it, a simple geocentric reading ranks retrogrades, stations, and major aspects for entertainment, not a natal chart (no birth time or place). Weekday tools stay on the homepage calculator.

Sky reading (geocentric)

    Ranked from a simple filter: personal vs outer tiers, retrograde/station/combust checks, then major aspects (conjunction, opposition, square, trine). A light interpretive layer for curiosity, not a natal chart.

    Sizes and distances are relative for readability (Jupiter larger than Earth), not true scale. The graphic uses heliocentric longitudes; the reading uses geocentric longitudes at local noon. Model:astronomy-engine.

    How to read it

    • Planet sizes are relative for readability (Jupiter larger than Earth), not true diameters or distances.
    • Orbit rings are evenly spaced for clarity; real spacing is wildly uneven.
    • Angles on the graphic use heliocentric ecliptic longitude at local noon.
    • The interpretation panel uses geocentric positions, aspects, and retrograde checks.
    • Pluto is optional via the checkbox (off by default).
