It lists planetary positions by sign and degree on a daily basis at midnight Eastern Time. This monthly ephemeris is based on the Tropical Zodiac. A filled-in black circle signifies the New Moon, while an empty black circle represents the Full Moon. The middle column lists Lunar Ingresses, showing dates and times that the Moon changes zodiac sign, and Void Moon data.įinally, the right column lists Lunar Phases (New, First Quarter, Full, and Last/Third Quarter) and, if occurring this month, eclipses are listed. The Planetary Data column depicts Ingresses (planetary sign changes) and Stations (planetary changes of direction, whether direct or retrograde). For this reason, you often see only one sign for slower-moving planets in a given month. While the inner planets and luminaries move relatively quickly through the signs, the outer planets take many months or years to do so.

The planets/points included in this ephemeris are the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune Pluto, and the True North Node. Uranus will reach perigee, or the closest point in its orbit to Earth overnight at approximately 3 a.m. In the ephemeris image, you’ll see retrograde planets marked with a red Rx symbol, while a black D means the planet is direct. A planet at opposition means it's at its closest point to Earth. Uranus is a blueish planet and can be hard to spot from Earth Credit: Alamy. You've got a good chance of spotting the planet shining brightly if you have a pair of binoculars and clear skies this evening. Can you see Neptune without a telescope No, the planet Neptune is not visible. Note: Positions given are for midnight Eastern Time (ET). URANUS has reached opposition meaning you could spot it in the night sky. However it is fairly accepted that Uranus is only visible with a telescope.
