May 11, 2020, 12:07 AM EDT – Sep 29, 2020, 1:06 AM EDT
Meaning and source
The planet appears to move backward in geocentric ecliptic longitude between these two stations. It continues orbiting the Sun in its usual direction. This period excludes any astrological “shadow” dates.

The lunar cycle runs between calculated conjunctions. The Hijri layer is the arithmetic civil calendar (Friday epoch, 30-year leap cycle); its labels change at midnight, though religious days begin at sunset, and it does not predict a first crescent or replace local announcements. The Chinese layer follows Hong Kong Observatory’s tables for 1901 through 2100 as civil dates, not converted to your time zone; HKO notes possible one-day differences for a few future dates. Chinese calendar details
Easter follows ecclesiastical tables, not the actual full moon. The Thelemic layer keeps the fixed March 20 feast apart from the astronomical equinox. Zodiac events use the seven classical planets and tropical signs; station times are estimates, not accurate to the minute.
Exports cover the selected layers as a fixed snapshot without alerts; your dates need their own checkbox, and importing overlapping files may duplicate entries. Retrograde periods keep both stations, and shadow periods are not included. Resh has its own local solar times and reminder export.
