Astrological calendar
October 2002
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.
2 Wednesday
Mercury enters Virgo (retrograde)
06:27 AM · Brasília timeA planet changes sign: the same function starts operating in another style. The theme does not change — the manner does.
6 Sunday
New Moon in Libra
08:18 AM · Brasília timeSun 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.
Mercury stations direct in Virgo
04:29 PM · Brasília timeThe planet stations and returns to direct motion: what was under review starts moving again, now with what was learned along the way.
10 Thursday
Venus stations retrograde in Scorpio
03:32 PM · Brasília timeSeen 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.
11 Friday
Mercury enters Libra
02:58 AM · Brasília timeA planet changes sign: the same function starts operating in another style. The theme does not change — the manner does.
Saturn stations retrograde in Gemini
09:53 AM · Brasília timeSeen 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.
13 Sunday
First Quarter in Capricorn
02:33 AM · Brasília timeA week after the seed, the first tension: what was planted meets the real world. It is a course correction, not a surrender.
15 Tuesday
Mars enters Libra
02:37 PM · Brasília timeA planet changes sign: the same function starts operating in another style. The theme does not change — the manner does.
20 Sunday
Neptune stations direct in Aquarius
10:42 AM · Brasília timeThe planet stations and returns to direct motion: what was under review starts moving again, now with what was learned along the way.
21 Monday
Full Moon in Aries
04:20 AM · Brasília timeSun and Moon on opposite sides of the sky: maximum light on what had been growing. What was implicit becomes visible — in feeling, in outcome, in conversation.
23 Wednesday
Sun enters Scorpio
11:18 AM · Brasília timeA planet changes sign: the same function starts operating in another style. The theme does not change — the manner does.
29 Tuesday
Last Quarter in Leo
02:28 AM · Brasília timeThe light wanes: time to harvest what served and release what did not. A conscious closing before the next cycle.
31 Thursday
Mercury enters Scorpio
07:42 PM · Brasília timeA 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.
