Astrological calendar

April 2004

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 Saturday

    Venus enters Gemini

    11:56 AM · Brasília time

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

  2. 5 Monday

    Full Moon in Libra

    08:03 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.

  3. 6 Tuesday

    Mercury stations retrograde in Taurus

    05:25 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. 12 Monday

    Last Quarter in Capricorn

    12:46 AM · Brasília time

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

    Mercury enters Aries (retrograde)

    10:20 PM · Brasília time

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

  5. 19 Monday

    Eclipse Solar partial in Aries

    10:34 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 119 · previous in the series: April 1986

    Sun enters Taurus

    02:50 PM · Brasília time

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

  6. 27 Tuesday

    First Quarter in Leo

    02:33 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.

  7. 30 Friday

    Mercury stations direct in Aries

    10:07 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.

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.
