How to use these dates
To convert a listed UTC event into a local date, apply the historical UTC offset for your location at that instant. A station is a mathematical change in the sign of apparent zodiac-longitude speed; it is not a sudden physical stop. The time and degree can help locate a nearby transit in a personal chart, but this table does not calculate personal aspects or assert a life event.
