Where these dates come from
Every date on this page is read from the site's ephemeris, the same one behind the daily horoscopes and birth charts. Positions are charted at 12:00 UTC each day from 1950 to 2045, and every five days further out for Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. Each sign change is placed where the planet's path between two neighbouring days crosses the sign boundary, which lands within minutes of the true moment. Dates are UTC, so a change late in the day can fall on the next date in Australia or Asia. Retrograde spells run from the day the planet appears to stop and turn back to the day it turns forward again. Positions are geocentric, in the tropical zodiac.
