Astrological calendar

August 1998

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. 7 Friday

    Eclipse Lunar penumbral in Aquarius

    11:25 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 109 · previous in the series: July 1980

  2. 13 Thursday

    Venus enters Leo

    06:19 AM · Brasília time

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

  3. 14 Friday

    Last Quarter in Taurus

    04:49 PM · Brasília time

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

  4. 15 Saturday

    Saturn stations retrograde in Taurus

    04:06 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.

  5. 16 Sunday

    Pluto stations direct in Sagittarius

    03:12 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.

  6. 20 Thursday

    Mars enters Leo

    04:16 PM · Brasília time

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

  7. 21 Friday

    Eclipse Solar annular in Leo

    11:06 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 135 · previous in the series: August 1980

  8. 22 Saturday

    Neptune enters Capricorn (retrograde)

    11:39 PM · Brasília time

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

  9. 23 Sunday

    Sun enters Virgo

    04:59 AM · Brasília time

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

    Mercury stations direct in Leo

    07:32 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.

  10. 30 Sunday

    First Quarter in Sagittarius

    02:07 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.
