COSMICSYNCOrbital Interpretation Station

A sky that is computed.
Not retold.

What you are looking at is not a splash screen. The planets stand where they actually stand this minute. Pick your sign.

The forecast is computed right now, in your browser, from where the bodies actually stand this minute — not from text written a month in advance.

01 In plain words

What is going on here

Planets move along orbits. Where they will be tomorrow is known in advance and computed from formulas astronomers publish openly. We take those formulas, work out the positions for this minute, and show how they fall against your sign. What you do with that is up to you.

  1. Take the numbers The orbital elements of the planets are a few lines of numbers that NASA JPL publishes for everyone. They are baked into this page.
  2. Work out where everything stands Out of those numbers comes the angle of each planet in the sky — the thing astrologers call “Mars in Gemini”. Your browser computes it in a fraction of a second.
  3. Look at the angles Planets form angles with each other: 0°, 60°, 90°, 120°, 180°. The forecast is assembled from those — not from the mood of whoever wrote the text.

02 The map

Here is where the planets are right now

Every planet sits on its real orbit at its real point. Switch on “As Earth sees it” and it becomes visible where the horoscope wheel comes from in the first place.

The distances are real, the planet sizes are not: at a scale where Jupiter is visible, Mercury would vanish entirely. In the whole-system view the radius is compressed logarithmically, otherwise the four inner orbits would collapse into a dot; in “as Earth sees it” the compression is switched off, so the ray to a planet passes exactly through it. The Moon is drawn near Earth schematically — its real distance is under a pixel at this scale — but the phase is real.

This minute’s sky, in numbers

Ten bodies, their signs, degrees within the sign and daily motion. Computed in your browser while you scrolled here. Check it against any ephemeris — that is what it is here for.

04 Tarot

Card of the day

The classic Rider–Waite deck, seventy-eight cards. The card of the day is the same for everyone, because it is drawn from the Moon’s longitude at midnight — a property of the day, not of the person.

Today

Personal spreads — three arcana weighted by your natal chart and your question — are computed in the app.

05 Reading table

You decide what the reading is made of

In the app this is its own tab. You put in the centre whatever should go into the work: today’s sky, the card of the day, three arcana, a life sphere, the horoscope. The composition is visible before you pay — no “pay to find out what is inside”.

What comes out:

06 Verification

NASA JPL publishes the orbital elements. This page computes the positions from them.

Nothing is fetched and no request goes anywhere — open the inspector and see for yourself. The elements are baked into the page, and your browser computes the positions with the same algorithms the phone app uses.

Planets

E.M. Standish, JPL Solar System Dynamics — Keplerian elements for approximate positions of the major planets, the 1800–2050 set.

Sun and Moon

Meeus, “Astronomical Algorithms”, chapters 25 and 47. The lunar series uses the 59 dominant terms of table 47.A.

Aspects to a sign

Whole-sign. A sign is a 30° arc, not a point; asking for an orb to an arc is meaningless.

07 Questions

The short answers

Where does the horoscope on this site come from?

From the positions of the planets. The page takes the orbital elements published by NASA JPL, computes where each body stands this minute, and looks at the angles those bodies make to your sign. The forecast text is selected by those angles, not written a month in advance.

Do I need to register?

No. Nothing has to be entered and nothing is sent anywhere — the whole computation happens in your browser.

How does a sign horoscope differ from a natal chart?

A sign is the thirty-degree arc the Sun stood in on the day you were born. A sign horoscope is the same for every twelfth person alive. A natal chart is computed from the minute and place of birth: where all ten bodies stood at that exact moment. That part is the app.

What is Mercury retrograde?

The apparent backwards motion of a planet across the sky. It does not actually turn around — this is the effect of Earth overtaking it on its orbit. The page determines retrograde motion arithmetically: it compares the planet’s longitude half a day before and half a day after the current moment.

Why is the card of the day the same for everyone?

Because it is a property of the day, not of the person. The card is drawn from the Moon’s longitude at midnight of the current day, so everyone opening the site or the app today sees one card. Personal spreads are computed in the app — they depend on the natal chart and on the question.

08 The app

Your readings live in the app

A sign forecast is the same for every twelfth person alive. Your own reading is computed from the minute and place you were born — where all ten bodies stood at that moment, and what today’s sky is doing to them.

  • Natal chart Ten bodies, houses, aspects with orbs to hundredths of a degree. Every number behind every conclusion is visible.
  • Tarot spreads Three arcana weighted by your chart and your question. The full 78-card deck with interpretations.
  • Live sky A zodiac wheel with current positions, the Moon’s phase, retrogrades and the events coming next.
