The twelve signs, in one table
Convention: tropical zodiac; instants in UTC. Longitude ranges include their first degree and exclude their last. Seasons are listed for both hemispheres.

What the exact dates mean
The tropical zodiac fixes Aries at 0 degrees of ecliptic longitude and divides the full circle into twelve equal signs. Those longitude boundaries do not change. The calendar date and clock time do, because a tropical year does not contain a whole number of days.
Each ingress in the table is the instant the Sun crosses a sign boundary, truncated to the minute in UTC. A local civil time depends on place and historical time-zone rules. That is why a birthday near a boundary should be checked from the actual birth date, time and place rather than from a fixed date range.
The correspondence columns state common tropical-astrology conventions. “Modern” and “classical” are both shown even when the same planet appears in each column. Seasons reverse by hemisphere; the sign and longitude do not.
