Astrological calendar

August 2008

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 Friday

    Eclipse Solar total in Leo

    07:21 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 126 · previous in the series: July 1990

  2. 6 Wednesday

    Venus enters Virgo

    01:20 AM · Brasília time

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

  3. 8 Friday

    First Quarter in Scorpio

    05:20 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.

  4. 10 Sunday

    Mercury enters Virgo

    07:50 AM · Brasília time

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

  5. 16 Saturday

    Eclipse Lunar partial in Aquarius

    06:10 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 138 · previous in the series: August 1990

  6. 19 Tuesday

    Mars enters Libra

    07:03 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 Friday

    Sun enters Virgo

    03:02 PM · Brasília time

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

  8. 23 Saturday

    Last Quarter in Gemini

    08:50 PM · Brasília time

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

  9. 28 Thursday

    Mercury enters Libra

    11:50 PM · Brasília time

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

  10. 30 Saturday

    Venus enters Libra

    11:41 AM · Brasília time

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

    New Moon in Virgo

    04:58 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.

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.
