Each cell gives the sign glyph and the degree within that sign at 00:00 UTC. ℞ marks retrograde motion. If you are comparing with a table from elsewhere, check which moment of the day it uses: the Moon covers half a degree an hour, so the same date can read differently. Columns run ☉ Sun, ☽ Moon, ☿ Mercury, ♀ Venus, ♂ Mars, ♃ Jupiter, ♄ Saturn, ♅ Uranus, ♆ Neptune, ♇ Pluto.

A planet turning is given to the nearest day. The table samples one moment each day, and a planet stands nearly still for a week either side of a station, so the hour it turns is not something a daily table can show.

This is the sky for everybody

A table says where the planets were. Where they were for you needs your own date, time and place, and that is a different calculation.
