How to read this calendar
Times are Eastern Time (America/New_York), with daylight-saving changes. Rows in bold are the dates most astrologers plan around. A station is the moment a planet appears to stop and reverse; the retrograde runs from the retrograde station to the direct station. A planet that retrogrades back into a sign recrosses the boundary it passed earlier, so its stay in the new sign is interrupted. Sun sign changes mark the start of each zodiac season.
Positions are apparent geocentric tropical longitudes from Astronomy Engine, searched to the minute; retrograde station times have been checked against NASA JPL Horizons. Methodology and accuracy.
