Tonight's Sky
Every light on this dome is computed for your place and minute: 1,627 real stars, the five naked eye planets, the Moon with its true phase. The seven classical bodies carry their generation names from the Septenary line, labeled as tradition, never as measurement. Step outside and check it.

Tonight differs from last night

The night's ladder
The seven generations, tonight
The four watchers
What is measured here, and what is tradition
Star, planet and Moon positions are computed from your coordinates and the clock, to well under a degree. Rise and set times, twilight stages and the Moon's lit fraction are calculated the same way, for your place and minute.
Nothing on this page is hashed from the date. If a number is shown, it was computed, and you can step outside and check it.
The zodiac signs used in readings are 30° spans of the year anchored to the equinox. The constellations behind them are unequal star patterns, and the two drifted about 24° apart over the centuries.
Generation names, watcher names and sign meanings are tradition: always labeled violet, never presented as measurement.
The stars your grandmother saw
The stars above you tonight are the same lights every generation of your line stood under. The reading tells you what the seven bodies passing among them carry for your line today.
