Astrological calendar
December 1956
Every New and Full Moon, every eclipse with its Saros family, every retrograde and every sign change — in Brasília time, computed with precision ephemerides validated against NASA’s catalogue.
2 Sunday
Pluto stations retrograde in Virgo
04:12 AM · Brasília timeSeen from Earth, the planet stops and moves backwards: a period of review for the themes it rules. Retrograde is not punishment — it is the second pass over the same subject.
Eclipse Solar partial in Sagittarius
05:00 AM · Brasília timeA New Moon with the nodal axis activated: the Moon covers the Sun. In the tradition, a restart of this size moves structure, not detail — and the effect is counted in months, not days.
Saros 151 · previous in the series: November 1938
6 Thursday
Mars enters Aries
08:18 AM · Brasília timeA planet changes sign: the same function starts operating in another style. The theme does not change — the manner does.
8 Saturday
Mercury enters Capricorn
04:10 AM · Brasília timeA planet changes sign: the same function starts operating in another style. The theme does not change — the manner does.
10 Monday
First Quarter in Pisces
08:51 AM · Brasília timeA week after the seed, the first tension: what was planted meets the real world. It is a course correction, not a surrender.
12 Wednesday
Jupiter enters Libra
10:54 PM · Brasília timeA planet changes sign: the same function starts operating in another style. The theme does not change — the manner does.
17 Monday
Full Moon in Gemini
04:06 PM · Brasília timeSun and Moon on opposite sides of the sky: maximum light on what had been growing. What was implicit becomes visible — in feeling, in outcome, in conversation.
19 Wednesday
Venus enters Sagittarius
04:06 PM · Brasília timeA planet changes sign: the same function starts operating in another style. The theme does not change — the manner does.
21 Friday
Sun enters Capricorn
05:59 PM · Brasília timeA planet changes sign: the same function starts operating in another style. The theme does not change — the manner does.
24 Monday
Last Quarter in Libra
07:10 AM · Brasília timeThe light wanes: time to harvest what served and release what did not. A conscious closing before the next cycle.
31 Monday
New Moon in Capricorn
11:14 PM · Brasília timeSun and Moon meet at the same degree: one cycle closes and another begins in the dark. The classic moment to plant intention — not to harvest results.
What this means for your chart
The calendar is the same for everyone; the effect is not. Each event lands in a different house of your chart — and that is what changes what it asks of you.
