SOLAR SYSTEMS LIVE

I came across an interesting site where you can track planets in their orbit at anytime.
You can also modify and specify your 'track map' e.g which planets you are following, which colour and for how long.

Here i am tracking my horoscope orbit 'aries'





Libra Full Moon, Mars conjunct Saturn, Mars conjunct Mercury, Venus conjunct Uranus

There are a lot of intense combinations of planets this week creating energy patterns prone to crisis and violence.
The Full Moon is on Sunday, April 17, @ 3 degrees Libra. This marks the culmination of the lunar month Chaitra, named for the lunar sign of the full Moon, Chittra. The Full Moon does not directly interact with planetary combinations in the Heavens, but by being in Libra it transfers its energy to Venus, which has entered Pisces, and therefore contributes energy to the other planetary combinations.
Mars is exactly opposite Saturn on Monday, April 18. The planet of Aggression, Conflict, and Destruction opposes the planet of The Established Order. The planet of Order and Control, Saturn, is in conflict with the planet of Action. Saturn is also retrograde, therefore strong and ultra-resistent to change. This planetary pattern has been getting stronger over the past several weeks. The energy of Mars is boosted by its association with Jupiter, planet of Hope and Belief, and now picks up the energy of Venus, which together with Mars adds Passion. The pressure on various Dictators and representatives of the Establishment gets no letup in the coming week. Likewise, those representing the Established Order do all they can to remain in power.
Mars is exactly conjunct Mercury @ 19 degrees Pisces on Tuesday April 19. Mercury represents Information and Reason and Decisions. But Mercury is retrograde and in a sign ruled by the emotions, Pisces. Now Mars, with its Impatience and need for Action, directly combines with a disadvantaged Mercury, leading to more Mistakes and Bad Decisions. The Mercury-Mars combination is simultaneously directly opposite Saturn, leading to a sense of Crisis. This week it is best to stick to routine actions, and avoid having to make any important decisions. Likewise, information and data, and the Media, tend to be wrong especially in intitial reports. This planetary pattern breaks up in early May.
Venus will be exactly conjunct Uranus on Friday, April 22, @ 8 degrees Pisces. The planet of Values and Finances combines with the planet of Sudden Unexpected Events indicating a volatile week for the markets. Venus also represents the Entertainment Business and therefore Celebrities, combined with Uranus = some surprising probably scandalous news from that quarter.

Jupiter conjunct Mercury, Venus enters Pisces

Planets in Pisces are getting closer together this week: the energy pattern intensifies. Mars advances in Pisces and closes in on Jupiter. Meanwhile Mercury, traveling retrograde, is "backing up" towards Jupiter and Mars from the other end of Pisces. Saturn, also retrograde, creeps along in Virgo on the other side of the Heavens. Mars gets closer to exact opposition to Saturn this week, intensifying the energy pattern of Tension and Crisis.
Jupiter will be conjunct Retrograde Mercury @ 23 degrees Pisces on Monday, April 11: Jupiter is the planet of Truth and therefore Beliefs, strong in its own sign Pisces. Mercury is the planet of Data and Logic, and is disadvantaged by being Retrograde in Pisces, its sign of debilitation. Jupiter overwhelms the weakened Mercury: Logic takes a back seat to Ideology, as has been evident in the Budget Fight in the US Federal Government. Mercury the planet of Information and Media can't deliver clear and correct reports: Mistakes get made: the wrong people get bombed. Meanwhile Mars, planet of Aggression, contributes its forcefulness for Confrontation and Argument with more reliance on Belief than Reason.
Venus enters Pisces on Friday, April 15. The planet of Peace and Agreement is considered Exalted in Pisces. But not much can be done with the trainwreck of planets already in this sign. Instead we get Venus + Mars =Passion, adding more fuel to the fire.
Sun enters Aries on Thursday, Friday 14: The planet of Power and Authority, and therefore Governments, is exalted in this sign. Aries is a sign owned by Mars; the entry of the Sun into Aries adds more power for Mars. The energy for Solutions using Force is increased for the next four weeks.
The Moon enters Virgo on Friday, April 15, adding more energy on the Saturn side of the Mars vs. Saturn equation, which will increase the potential for Violent Events next Friday and through the weekend.

New Moon in Pisces, Mars conjunct Uranus

Sunday, April 3, will be the New Moon, @ 19 deg. Pisces. This marks the beginning of the Lunar Month Chaitra, named for the nakshatra (lunar sign) Chitra, that the full Moon falls in, on April 17.
The birth of this lunar month shows many troubling planetary combinations, indicating a difficult month overall.
The New Moon will be directly opposite Saturn, which is Retrograde in Virgo. The energy of the month is Directly Opposed to the Established Order, which itself is Strongly Resistant to Change, indicated by Saturn's retrograde condition.
The New Moon is conjunct within a couple of degrees of Jupiter, planet of Belief and Optimism, which is strong in its own sign Pisces, the sign of Hope and Faith. Jupiter's Belief and Optimism is likewise being Opposed by Saturn, "The Reality Check Planet."
Meanwhile, Mercury the planet of Reason and Logic, is now also retrograde, and still at the borderline of Pisces and Aries, hence gandant, i.e. very weak and malefic. Jupiter's Hope and Belief Overwhelm any potential for Logic and Reasonableness from Mercury.
Mars will be exactly conjunct Uranus on Sunday, April 3, @ 7 deg. Pisces. The planet of Confrontation, War, and Destruction conjoins with the planet of Sudden Unexpected Events; an energy pattern prone to Disasters, Explosions, Unintended Consequences. Being coincident with the New Moon, this energy pattern also carries through the lunar month.
The overall prognosis is not good. Some of the results can already be seen: The Hope and Optimism of Jupiter vs. the Saturn Reality of a rather grave situation in Japan. The energy of a retrograde Mercury manifesting through misinterpreting, even misrepresenting, the data from radiation monitors enhancing the potential for an even greater disaster, indicated by the conjunction of Mars and Uranus. Meanwhile in the Middle East and Northern Africa countries, the energy for Violent Revolution (Uranus plus Mars) increases as the Established Order (Saturn) refuses to change and fights to maintain the Status Quo.
As the month progresses, Mars comes closer to direct opposition to Saturn. The Full Moon will coincide with an almost exact Mars-Saturn Opposition, and with retrograde Mercury simultaneously conjunct Mars, indicating an intensification and culmination of the build-up of events in the middle of the month.
 

 "What is a horoscope?"
 It is simply a map that appears as a two dimensional chart. It shows the position of the Sun, the Moon, and planets at the precise moment of your birth. The planets are frozen in their position at that initial moment of birth. That is why this type of horoscope is known as the birth chart or the natal chart. A correct interpretation of these birth positions exposes much about you. It can be thought of as the "hand" that has been "dealt" in life. This doesn't suggest that your life has already been decided. A horoscope can never show how you are going to "play" this hand. It's largely up to you to decide that. While you usually have freedom of choice or free will, the horoscope does reflect the natural inclinations you have, the lessons you have to learn, the issues to be faced, and the problems to be solved. It may be thought of as merely an abstract formula showing the energies you've been given, or perhaps tasked. The use that you make of these energies, or opportunities, if you will, depends upon you, the individual. Astrology can provide incredible keys to understanding, but it doesn't necessarily provide clear and simplistic answers to any problems with which you may be dealing. Obtaining information about your horoscope may give you some insights and understanding of the reasons why you behave as you do.
 To have the horoscope of another revealed allows the reader to understand that person better. You can see and understand him or her more accurately, objectively, and with a much greater tolerance. Understanding your horoscope may allow you to more clearly understand and accept yourself, and therefore do what you can with your natural attributes.
