Common questions

About today's sky

How current are these positions?

The page revalidates every 30 minutes. The Sun moves about 1° per day, so its sign and decan are stable across the window. The Moon moves about 13° per day — it can change degree noticeably within 30 minutes and can change sign within hours. Reload the page if you want a more recent snapshot than the cache.

What is the void-of-course Moon?

The void-of-course Moon (VOC) is the period between the Moon's last major aspect to another classical planet in its current sign and the Moon's ingress into the next sign. Classical electional astrology reads VOC windows as poor times for new beginnings — the Moon is structurally 'between rooms' and decisions made then tend not to land. Routine work continues; major launches are typically deferred.

Why tropical positions and not sidereal?

Today's Sky shows tropical zodiac positions (the Western default) because most readers are working with tropical charts and most of our reference content is tropical-anchored. The panchanga section uses Lahiri sidereal (the standard Vedic ayanamsa). You can think of it as the same sky read in two registers.
