Stations are calculated from NASA/JPL DE440s orbital data by Kendraya Engine (how the positions are calculated). Mercury, Venus and Mars stations are timed to the minute. Jupiter to Pluto barely move as they turn, so their stations are given to the day. Periods that start in December or end in January appear on both years’ pages. The Sun and Moon are never retrograde; the lunar nodes are not listed. Terms: retrograde, sidereal zodiac.
