Where this came from
Every date above was found by searching the Swiss Ephemeris for this week, not written in advance.
What differs by sign is which area of life each thing falls in, worked out by treating your Sun sign as the first house. That is the technique behind every Sun-sign horoscope ever printed. It is a real one, and it is not the same as a chart cast for your birth time.
Where this falls in your real chart
A solar house is an approximation of a real one. With a birth time the same events land in houses that are actually yours, and often somewhere quite different.
