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

Which planets are retrograde in October 2031?

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.
