About these numbers
Positions are geocentric and tropical, which is what almost every Western horoscope and chart uses: the zodiac starts at 0° Aries at the March equinox and each sign is exactly thirty degrees, regardless of the constellation behind it. They are apparent positions, corrected for the time light takes to arrive and for the small wobble of the Earth's axis, so they match what astro.com and professional software print to the arc minute.
The table is a snapshot at 00:00 UTC. The Moon moves about half a degree an hour, so by your evening it will be several degrees further on; the dial above interpolates towards tomorrow's position to show you where it stands now. Everything on this page is in the open data, including this day as today.json.
