About

Astrolabe turns your watch face into a live astrological chart. The twelve zodiac signs ring the dial while the Sun, Moon, and planets sit at their true current positions in the Western **tropical** zodiac, recalculated continuously. Aspect lines trace the relationships between the planets, a medallion at the center shows the real-time moon phase, and slim analog hands with gilded tips keep the time — all wrapped in your choice of four hand-tuned styles. Glance down and you're not just seeing the time; you're seeing where the sky is right now. FEATURES • Real-time chart — Sun, Moon, Mercury through Pluto placed by ecliptic longitude, updated as the sky moves. • Real current planet positions — planetary positions from the JPL/Standish elements and a Meeus lunar model (tropical, equinox of date); accurate to a fraction of a degree. • Live aspects — conjunction, sextile, trine, square, and opposition, color-coded for hard vs. soft, with a one-tap-in-settings toggle to hide them. • Retrograde indication — planets in apparent retrograde are gently tinted so you can spot them at a glance. • True moon phase — a medallion with a real day/night terminator (crescent → gibbous). • Outer planets — show or hide Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. • Four styles — Midnight (deep navy + gold), Parchment (warm star-atlas), Neon Cosmos (cyan + magenta), and Minimal Mono (clean grayscale). • Always-on friendly — a dimmed, battery-conscious low-power frame. SETTINGS (Garmin Connect ▸ watch face settings) • Style — pick a skin • Show aspect lines • Show outer planets • Show second hand (when awake) A NOTE ON ACCURACY Astrolabe uses the tropical zodiac (ecliptic longitude referred to the equinox of date) — the system used in Western astrology. Positions are geocentric and intended for sign-and-degree placement, not navigation.
