Solid lines: direct motion; dashed lines: retrograde. The vertical line marks today. Positions at 00:00 UT.

How to read the graphic ephemeris
In the zodiac view the twelve signs are stacked from top to bottom, Aries at the top. A line that runs off the bottom and comes back at the top has passed from Pisces into Aries. When a planet turns retrograde its line bends back and draws a loop; the dashed part is the retrograde period. Two lines crossing means the two planets are in conjunction on that day.
The aspect view, used by astrologers, shows only the degree within the sign (0° to 30°). Here every crossing is an aspect in a multiple of 30°: a conjunction, sextile, square, trine or opposition, as well as the smaller 30° and 150° aspects. That is why this view shows every contact between the planets at once.
