What this page measures
Horoscorpio reads the angle between Mars and Saturn from precomputed ephemeris and times the whole passage — when the pair enters a 2° orb of the exact 30°, when it is exact, and when it leaves. Measured from the Sun. Heliocentric and geocentric are separate observer frames and are never combined.
The instrument is free to use and requires no account. It shows every aspect currently in orb across all three observer modes, updating on the minute.
Questions
Is Mars semi-sextile Saturn happening right now?
No. As measured at 2026-08-18 19:12 UTC, Mars and Saturn are 53.66° apart in the heliocentric frame. That is 23.66° from an exact 30° semi-sextile, outside the 2° orb, so the aspect is not live.
When is the next Mars semi-sextile Saturn?
The next exact semi-sextile falls on 2028-03-19 03:40 UTC, in 1.6 years. The pair is inside the 2° orb from 2028-03-15 18:33 UTC to 2028-03-22 13:00 UTC. This time is computed from the ephemeris, not taken from the live episode register.
What is a semi-sextile in astrology?
A semi-sextile is an angular relationship of 30° between two bodies as measured along the ecliptic. Horoscorpio treats it as live only while the measured separation sits strictly inside 2° of that angle. The angle is a measurement; Horoscorpio makes no claim about what it causes.
Is this measured from the Earth or the Sun?
Measured from the Sun. Heliocentric and geocentric are separate observer frames and are never combined.

Planetary geometry is measured from the live instrument. Horoscorpio states angles and times; it is not prophecy, and it is not medical, financial or legal advice. Times are UTC. Live in-orb state is read from the Horoscorpio episode register; the next exact time is computed from the ephemeris.
