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.
Calculated with Swiss Ephemeris. Positions are geocentric, for 00:00 Universal Time.
