This page shows the live positions of all 7 classical planets (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn) in the zodiac, calculated using NASA JPL-based ephemeris data. Tap any planet to see its detailed dignity status, sign meaning, and guidance for that planetary energy right now.

The sign tells you the "flavour" of how the planet expresses itself and where in life its energy is focused.
Domicile/Exaltation = strong beneficial influence. Detriment/Fall = weakened or challenged. Use this to calibrate timing for related matters.
A retrograde symbol (℞) means the planet is in a reflective phase — better for review than for new beginnings in that planet's domain.
Traditional astrology grades each planet's strength by its relationship to the sign it occupies. Think of it as a measure of how comfortable and effective the planet is in expressing its nature.
The planet is in the sign it rules. Like being at home — most comfortable, powerful, and able to act freely. Its qualities express naturally and strongly.
The planet is in a sign where it performs exceptionally well — like a guest of honour in a welcoming household. Its best qualities are elevated and dignified.
The planet rules a set of three signs sharing the same element (fire, earth, air, water). Moderate strength, especially during day or night chart conditions.
Each sign is divided into 5 sections (terms), each ruled by a planet. A planet in its own term has minor dignity — like being in a familiar neighbourhood.
Each sign has three 10° sections (decans), each ruled by a planet. Being in one's own decan gives minimal dignity — enough to act, but not with great strength.
The planet is in the sign opposite its domicile. Uncomfortable, weakened, unable to work with full energy. Its natural qualities are challenged or distorted.
The planet is in the sign opposite its exaltation. Significantly weakened. Like a king in exile — present but unable to fulfill their role. Caution advised for matters ruled by this planet.
When a planet appears to move backwards through the zodiac from Earth's perspective. This is an optical illusion caused by differing orbital speeds, but in traditional astrology the effect is real and significant.
A retrograde planet's energy turns inward and becomes more reflective, less direct. For example: Mercury retrograde = review communication, revisit unfinished writing, and introspect on thought patterns.
Islamic scholars of ʿIlm al-Nujūm noted retrograde (rujūʿ, رجوع) as a period where planetary influence is "weakened" or "reversed." It is a time for reflection (murājaʿah), not for beginning critical new matters.
Based on the seasons and the Earth's relationship with the Sun. Aries begins at the Spring Equinox. This is the system used in Western astrology and most Islamic classical texts on ʿIlm al-Nujūm.
Fixed to the actual star constellations. Accounts for the ~24° "precession of the equinoxes" offset accumulated over 2,000 years. Used in Vedic/Jyotish astrology. Enabled in settings for comparison.
When a benefic planet (Jupiter, Venus) is in dignity and transiting your area of concern, consider it a period of openness (fatḥ). Make du'ā', begin projects, and act boldly.
These are periods to exercise extra patience and caution in matters of health, finances, and conflicts. Double your Isti'ādhah (seeking refuge in Allah) and du'ā'.
Use Mercury retrograde for reviewing contracts and studying. Use Venus retrograde for reflecting on relationships. Use Mars retrograde to strategize before acting.
⚠️ Planetary transit data is calculated using ephemeris mathematics and is provided for spiritual reflection within the tradition of Islamic ʿIlm al-Nujūm. This is not astrology for prediction (tanjīm) or belief in planets as independent agents. Allah alone is Al-Ḥakīm, Al-ʿAlīm — the All-Wise, All-Knowing.
