Where the bodies stand at this moment, what turns next, and who else was born on this date. Positions are ecliptic longitudes, which need no observer; rising and setting times, which do, are not here — they would need a place you have not given.

The next ninety days
Sign changes, stations, new and full Moons, and the eclipses among them. The Moon's own sign changes are left out — it makes one every two and a half days, and they would bury everything slower. They are in the month tables.
