Astrological calendar

April 1996

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 Wednesday

    Venus enters Gemini

    12:25 PM · Brasília time

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

    Eclipse Lunar total in Libra

    09:09 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 122 · previous in the series: March 1978

  2. 7 Sunday

    Saturn enters Aries

    05:53 AM · Brasília time

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

  3. 8 Monday

    Mercury enters Taurus

    12:15 AM · Brasília time

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

  4. 10 Wednesday

    Last Quarter in Capricorn

    08:36 PM · Brasília time

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

  5. 17 Wednesday

    Eclipse Solar partial in Aries

    07:37 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 148 · previous in the series: April 1978

  6. 19 Friday

    Sun enters Taurus

    04:09 PM · Brasília time

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

  7. 25 Thursday

    First Quarter in Leo

    05:41 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 Monday

    Neptune stations retrograde in Capricorn

    06:41 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.

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.
