Astrological calendar

May 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. 1 Thursday

    New Moon in Taurus

    09:15 AM · 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. 9 Friday

    First Quarter in Leo

    08:53 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.

  3. 15 Thursday

    Neptune stations retrograde in Aquarius

    09:35 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.

  4. 16 Friday

    Eclipse Lunar total in Scorpio

    12:40 AM · 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 121 · previous in the series: May 1985

    Venus enters Taurus

    07:58 AM · Brasília time

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

  5. 20 Tuesday

    Mercury stations direct in Taurus

    04:34 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. 21 Wednesday

    Sun enters Gemini

    08:12 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 Thursday

    Last Quarter in Pisces

    09:31 PM · Brasília time

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

  8. 31 Saturday

    Eclipse Solar annular in Gemini

    01:08 AM · 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 147 · previous in the series: May 1985

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.
