Astrological calendar

August 1961

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.

  1. 3 Thursday

    Last Quarter in Taurus

    08:47 AM · Brasília time

    The light wanes: time to harvest what served and release what did not. A conscious closing before the next cycle.

    Venus enters Cancer

    12:27 PM · Brasília time

    A planet changes sign: the same function starts operating in another style. The theme does not change — the manner does.

    Mercury enters Leo

    10:15 PM · Brasília time

    A planet changes sign: the same function starts operating in another style. The theme does not change — the manner does.

  2. 11 Friday

    Eclipse Solar annular in Leo

    07:46 AM · Brasília time

    A 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 125 · previous in the series: August 1943

  3. 12 Saturday

    Jupiter enters Capricorn (retrograde)

    05:50 AM · Brasília time

  4. 16 Wednesday

    Mars enters Libra

    09:40 PM · Brasília time

    A planet changes sign: the same function starts operating in another style. The theme does not change — the manner does.

  6. 19 Saturday

    First Quarter in Scorpio

    07:51 AM · Brasília time

    A week after the seed, the first tension: what was planted meets the real world. It is a course correction, not a surrender.

  7. 23 Wednesday

    Sun enters Virgo

    06:18 AM · Brasília time

    A planet changes sign: the same function starts operating in another style. The theme does not change — the manner does.

  8. 26 Saturday

    Eclipse Lunar partial in Pisces

    12:08 AM · Brasília time

    A Full Moon intensified by the Earth’s shadow: culmination and emotional turning point. What was ripe shows up all at once.

    Saros 137 · previous in the series: August 1943

    Venus enters Leo

    11:17 AM · Brasília time

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.
