Sky Today: Retrograde Tracker

Live Planet Transits & Moon

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Mercury stations retrograde soon. Open Sky Today to watch it slow, stop, and reverse in real time - plus every aspect, ingress, and moon phase as it perfects The sky, right now. Sky Today is a precision instrument for the living sky — not a horoscope feed. Open it and see exactly where every planet sits on the zodiac at this moment: Sun through Pluto, on real concentric orbits, at their true positions. No birth chart. No sign-up. No data to enter. The sky is the same for everyone on Earth — so the app just works, the instant you open it. WATCH THE SKY MOVE Drag the timeline and every planet glides along its orbit. Scrub forward and back through days, months, a full year — positions, aspects, and readouts retune live. Retrograde planets actually slow, stop, and reverse as you pass their stations, because it's all computed from a real ephemeris, not faked. SEE WHAT'S CONNECTING 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 lists its exact orb, whether it's applying or separating, and the precise date and time it perfects. NEVER MISS A MOMENT A unified timeline gathers every ingress, retrograde station, moon phase, and exact aspect, each with a live countdown. Tap any event to send the whole app to that exact moment and see the sky as it will be. GO DEEPER ON ANY PLANET Tap a planet for its position, speed, next sign change, next station, and a trail showing its recent motion across the zodiac. BUILT LIKE AN INSTRUMENT Calm, observatory-grade design. Monospace readouts to the arcminute. Slow, deliberate motion. Choose your accent color, dial the ambient motion up or down, and set how far the timeline reaches. SKY TODAY PREMIUM Sky Today is free to read the live sky right now.
