Slow cosmos

The real sky, set in motion. From a chosen date, every planet advances along its orbit at its true relative speed across roughly two years — Mercury darting ahead, the outer giants barely creeping — so the whole system can be watched breathing at once.

Signs, ingresses and the backward step

The wheel is the zodiac as seen from Earth. Each planet travels its own ring, and the faster it truly moves, the faster it sweeps through the signs here: in a couple of years the Moon and Mercury lap the circle many times, while Saturn or Pluto barely shift.

Whenever a planet crosses into a new sign, its name appears above the wheel — an ingress. And when a planet's apparent motion reverses, its label gains an R. That is a retrograde phase: the same backward illusion born of differing orbital speeds.
