Astrological calendar

February 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. 1 Wednesday

    Mercury enters Pisces

    06:39 PM · Brasília time

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

  2. 2 Thursday

    Venus enters Aries

    01:46 AM · Brasília time

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

  3. 4 Saturday

    Mars enters Gemini (retrograde)

    09:48 PM · Brasília time

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

  4. 5 Sunday

    Mars stations direct in Gemini

    11:53 PM · Brasília time

    The planet stations and returns to direct motion: what was under review starts moving again, now with what was learned along the way.

  5. 7 Tuesday

    Mars enters Cancer

    02:04 AM · Brasília time

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

  6. 8 Wednesday

    Last Quarter in Scorpio

    01:49 PM · Brasília time

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

  7. 11 Saturday

    Neptune stations retrograde in Scorpio

    08:17 AM · Brasília time

    Seen 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.

  8. 12 Sunday

    Mercury stations retrograde in Pisces

    08:28 PM · Brasília time

    Seen 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.

  9. 15 Wednesday

    Eclipse Solar total in Aquarius

    05:19 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 120 · previous in the series: February 1943

  10. 18 Saturday

    Sun enters Pisces

    06:16 PM · Brasília time

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

  11. 22 Wednesday

    First Quarter in Gemini

    05:35 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.

  12. 24 Friday

    Mercury enters Aquarius (retrograde)

    05:20 PM · Brasília time

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

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.
