The exact moment the Sun enters each zodiac sign, every year — the cusp dates that fixed charts round off.
Between 1900 and 2050 the Sun entered Aries on March 19 in 2, March 20 in 89, March 21 in 60 years (UTC).
Every new moon, first quarter, full moon and last quarter, with the sign and degree of the Moon and eclipse flags.
56 of the 151 years have 13 full moons instead of 12 (UTC dates).
Each lunar new year with its animal, element and polarity — and how many early-year birthdays still belong to the previous animal.
The lunar new year fell in February in 70 of the 110 years and in January in the other 40.
How often each of the 22 arcana lands in each of the nine key positions across all 36,525 birth dates of a century.
6 of the 22 arcana never appear in the centre of the matrix for any date from 1930 to 2029: 1, 2, 15, 17, 19, 21.

Most astrology sites repeat each other: the same rounded sign dates, the same claims about how common an aspect or a dream is, rarely with a source. We compute these figures from astronomical formulas and full enumerations, and publishing the tables lets anyone check them — or build on them.
