How it is calculated

Phase times and the Moon's entry into each sign are computed with the Swiss Ephemeris (NASA ephemerides), to the minute.

Signs are those of the tropical zodiac, the one horoscopes use. Biodynamic gardening calendars (fruit days, root days…) follow the Moon against the constellations, a different division shifted by about 24°: their dates don't fall on the same days.

An eclipse is listed on the day of its global maximum: depending on where you are, it may or may not be visible.
