Best time to start tomato seeds is the week before the full moon, and any seeds within 3 days of the full moon.
The best transplants are 6-8 weeks old, so, if you want to transplant outdoors in mid February, use the full moon Dec. 24th (plant in the next 5 days). If you want to plant out in mid-March, start just before the full moon January 22.
Also, the best time to transplant is between the new and full moon, which corresponds to 6-8 week old transplants if you started at the right time.
You can't go wrong following Mother Nature's rules.
