What timezone are these dates in?

UTC. Astrological events happen at an instant, so a station or lunation late in the UTC day falls on the next date in eastern timezones and the same date in the Americas. Where a date matters to you, check the time as well as the day.

How were these dates calculated?

From geocentric ecliptic longitudes using the astronomy-engine ephemeris, at build time. Stations are found where a planet’s daily motion changes sign, ingresses where its longitude crosses a sign boundary, and both are then narrowed to the hour by bisection.

All times UTC. Positions come from the same ephemeris used for the weekly horoscopes and the chart tools, computed when this page was built.
