Where these times come from
Every station is the exact moment Jupiter's apparent motion changes direction, found by scanning the real ephemeris and bisecting to the minute, the same engine that powers current transits and daily horoscopes. Positions are geocentric and tropical. Shadow dates mark when Jupiter first reaches (and later clears) the degree range it retraces.
