Astrological calendar

October 1968

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

    Mercury stations retrograde in Scorpio

    08:40 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.

  2. 6 Sunday

    Eclipse Lunar total in Aries

    08:41 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 136 · previous in the series: September 1950

  3. 7 Monday

    Mercury enters Libra (retrograde)

    07:45 PM · Brasília time

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

  4. 14 Monday

    Last Quarter in Cancer

    12:05 PM · Brasília time

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

  5. 21 Monday

    Venus enters Sagittarius

    02:16 AM · Brasília time

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

    New Moon in Libra

    06:44 PM · Brasília time

    Sun 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.

  6. 23 Wednesday

    Sun enters Scorpio

    05:29 AM · Brasília time

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

  7. 24 Thursday

    Mercury stations direct in Libra

    11:16 AM · 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.

  8. 28 Monday

    First Quarter in Aquarius

    09:40 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.

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.
