Astrological calendar

August 1971

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. 6 Friday

    Eclipse Lunar total in Aquarius

    04:43 PM · 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 128 · previous in the series: July 1953

  2. 12 Thursday

    Neptune stations direct in Sagittarius

    12:33 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.

    Mercury stations retrograde in Virgo

    04:16 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.

  3. 13 Friday

    Last Quarter in Taurus

    07:55 AM · Brasília time

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

  4. 20 Friday

    Eclipse Solar partial in Leo

    07:38 PM · 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 154 · previous in the series: August 1953

  5. 23 Monday

    Sun enters Virgo

    04:15 PM · Brasília time

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

  6. 24 Tuesday

    Venus enters Virgo

    01:24 PM · Brasília time

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

  7. 28 Saturday

    First Quarter in Sagittarius

    11:56 PM · 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.

  8. 29 Sunday

    Mercury enters Leo (retrograde)

    05:41 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.
