Classical method: the last exact aspect of the Moon to a planet from the Sun to Saturn opens the void, and the Moon's sign change closes it. The start is approximate, the end is exact.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I read this table?

Each row is one day at 00:00 Universal Time and each column is one body. A cell gives the degree and minute within the sign, and an R means the body is moving retrograde that day. Read down a column to follow one planet, read across a row to see the whole sky on one date.
