Current planetary positions

Reading current planetary positions

This table gives geocentric apparent positions of the Sun, Moon and five traditional planets at the displayed instant. Settings let you include Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, change the display time zone, or choose a tropical or sidereal zodiac. The page refreshes while visible; the timestamp tells you when each result was sampled.

Where is Venus today?

Find Venus in the table above and read its zodiac sign, degree and motion together. Check the displayed timestamp and zodiac before comparing another site. This is Venus's position as seen from Earth at that instant; it does not describe its house in your personal birth chart.

What does retrograde mean here?

Retrograde means the calculated ecliptic longitude is decreasing at the sample time, as seen from Earth. It does not mean the planet has reversed its orbit. The table shows current motion, not the exact start or end time of a retrograde period.
