Ephemeris Degree Search: Exact Planetary Crossings

Enter a planet and a zodiac degree to locate its UTC crossings in a chosen date interval. A retrograde loop can yield several separate dates at the same degree.

Find a degree crossing

Choose the body, tropical sign, degrees and arc minutes, then set the UTC dates to search. Both direct and retrograde crossings appear in the results.

The end date is included. Maximum ranges depend on the body: Moon 5 years; Sun, Mercury, and Venus 20; Mars 30; Jupiter and Saturn 50; Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto 100. The site supports 1800–2100.

What does this result mean?

The search finds dates when the selected body's apparent Earth-centred tropical ecliptic longitude equals your chosen sign and degree. For example, 0° Aries is numeric longitude 0°, and 15° Libra is 195°. No birth details or house system are required because the search concerns a sky position shared worldwide at a UTC instant.

The table includes motion at each crossing. Direct means longitude is increasing; retrograde means it is decreasing from Earth's viewpoint. A planet can cross the same degree going forward, again on a backward loop, and a third time when it resumes forward motion. All such roots within the interval are listed. The Moon and Sun ordinarily cross a degree only in forward motion.

A degree crossing is a coordinate event, not a prediction. Astrological meanings depend on the question and chart context. For a position table at regular dates, see the custom ephemeris. For a match to your own birth longitude, use the separate planetary return finder.
