Current planetary positions calculated with JPL DE441 ephemeris · Updated 12:30 UTC

Planetary positions

Sun
29°12
Gemini

With the Sun in Gemini, the astrological framework highlights curiosity, communication, and the tension between breadth and depth. Gemini is mutable air — the mind in motion, gathering perspectives before committing to one. This transit traditionally reads as a period for asking better questions rather than rushing toward answers.

Moon
12°21
Virgo

The Moon in Virgo turns analytical. Feelings get sorted, organized, and sometimes over-examined. The tradition reads this as a day where the impulse to fix things — situations, plans, even emotions — can be both productive and exhausting.

Mercury
23°04
Cancer

Mercury in Cancer filters thought through feeling. Communication becomes more intuitive, more personal, and sometimes more defensive. The tradition reads this transit as a period where what someone means matters more than what they say — and where the gap between the two becomes more noticeable.

Venus
08°12
Leo

Venus in Leo gravitates toward the generous and the vivid. Aesthetic sensibility favors warmth over subtlety — what's valued must be seen, acknowledged, and ideally admired. There's genuine pleasure in giving, provided the giving itself is noticed.

Mars
24°02
Taurus

Mars in Taurus channels drive through persistence rather than speed. Action is slow to start but difficult to stop once in motion. Frustration builds gradually and releases rarely — which means the eventual eruption, when it comes, tends to surprise everyone, including the person experiencing it.

Jupiter
27°56
Cancer

Jupiter in Cancer reaches its traditional exaltation. Growth happens through emotional investment and rootedness — family, belonging, the foundations that support everything else. Generosity flows naturally toward the inner circle, though defining where that circle ends becomes the relevant question.

Saturn
13°39
Aries

Saturn in Aries demands discipline around identity and initiative. The structure required is internal — learning to act without impulsiveness and to lead without recklessness. Independence is not denied but tested, and what survives that testing becomes a more durable kind of autonomy.

Uranus
03°09
Gemini

Uranus in Gemini revolutionizes communication, information, and how ideas circulate. Over roughly seven years, the tradition reads this transit as a generational shift in the speed, format, and accessibility of knowledge — the way people think changes before anyone fully notices.

Neptune
04°20
Aries

Neptune's ingress into Aries marks a generational shift unfolding over roughly fourteen years. The tradition reads this transit as a slow dissolving and reimagining of what individual initiative means — where the boundary between personal vision and collective delusion requires new discernment.

Pluto
05°04
Aquarius

Pluto in Aquarius transforms collective systems, technology, and the relationship between the individual and the group over roughly two decades. The tradition reads this generational transit as a period when power shifts from centralized institutions to distributed networks — a transformation that is neither inherently liberating nor inherently stable.

Next: First Quarter in Libra on Jun 21

A New Moon in Gemini initiates a cycle oriented toward communication, learning, and intellectual curiosity. A moment to plant questions rather than answers — what do you want to understand better?

Retrograde planets

Pluto

Retrograde since May 6 in Aquarius · direct Oct 16

Pluto retrograde in Aquarius reviews transformations in collective systems, technology, and the distribution of power. The tradition reads this as a period for asking whether the shifts underway are actually redistributing power or merely concentrating it differently.
