Astrological calendar

January 2003

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. 2 Thursday

    Mercury stations retrograde in Capricorn

    04:19 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.

    New Moon in Capricorn

    06:23 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.

  2. 7 Tuesday

    Venus enters Sagittarius

    11:07 AM · Brasília time

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

  3. 10 Friday

    First Quarter in Aries

    11:15 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.

  4. 17 Friday

    Mars enters Sagittarius

    02:22 AM · Brasília time

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

  5. 18 Saturday

    Full Moon in Cancer

    08:48 AM · Brasília time

    Sun 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.

  6. 20 Monday

    Sun enters Aquarius

    09:53 AM · Brasília time

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

  7. 22 Wednesday

    Mercury stations direct in Capricorn

    11:05 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.

  8. 25 Saturday

    Last Quarter in Scorpio

    06:33 AM · Brasília time

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

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.
