Sky Chart Wheel Screensaver
The Sky Chart Wheel screensaver draws a real live chart of where every planet actually sits in the zodiac right now. It is free, runs in your browser, and ESC exits.
How the Sky Chart Wheel screensaver works
The saver computes real heliocentric planet positions from J2000 orbital elements.
Each planet's real geocentric ecliptic longitude places it on the zodiac wheel.
Lines are drawn between planets currently in a real major aspect.
Everything is computed locally — no birth data, no network, no key.
A worked example
Right now, the real Sun sits at its true ecliptic degree in its current sign, and the wheel updates live as the date changes.
Settings & tips
- This is a chart of this exact moment, not a personal natal chart.
- Accent recolours the wheel and planet glyphs.
- Aspect lines use real computed angles, not fixed illustrations.
