[quote Ted King]Re: wickedSteve's suggestion: I don't think astronomy sites are generally going to provide information about where the planets are in relation to each with respect to zodiac constellations because that is usually not something astronomers are concerned with.
While the fact that Saturn is in Leo has exactly no effect on whether today is, or is not, a good day to start a new business venture, or plan a trip, or eat a bagel, etc. It is of interest to me as an Astronomer, because I can find my way around the night sky well enough to find the general neighborhood of Leo (which is always in the same place in the sky w.r.t to other, more easily identifiable, constellations) so I can look for Saturn, and know where to point my scope.
