Each row is a continuous stay in a tropical sign, from entry until exit. Retrograde motion can return a planet to a sign it has already visited, so repeated sign entries are separate visits. A stay crossing New Year appears in both years and keeps its original entry and exit times.

UTC before 1972 is a computational convention. Future UTC times depend on unannounced leap seconds. Coverage-edge rows identify an unknown entry or exit rather than inventing one.

Apparent geocentric longitude in twelve equal tropical signs, calculated with the NASA JPL DE442s ephemeris and Skyfield. These signs are different from astronomical constellations. Mars through Pluto use planetary-system barycenters.
