Astrolabe
· v1.0.0
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.

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.
